What is true love?
The definition of true love means never having to say sorry and having that someone to comfort you in hard times (Google) #predictableAnyway, hours past and I got over the crying stage and you would never think the Jax Grant is actually really sensitive. He told me his mother left him when he was only 2!! Like reality check don't think you can leave your child that young, really who does that.
Later Jax told me I don't have to go to the party anymore, thank guacamole for that anyway he said I should get some rest and asked if we could do this tomorrow, of course I said yes. "Bye Jax have a good night" I shouted, "you too, by the way hope your ready to party tomorrow" he smiled and walked away into the darkness.
I closed the door, but then I thought what did he mean when he said party tomorrow, I thought it was tonight. I opened the door and stared at Jax's front door his farther was punching him in the face and stomach and yelling and cursing at him, I stood there in shock not knowing how to respond. I closed the door and stood there and telling myself I need to talk to him so I run upstairs and grab my phone and sent him a text trying not to make it obvious about what I saw.
Charlie: um.....can we talk
Jax: sure about what??
Charlie: um.....I saw you and your dad
Jax: and??
Charlie: well im just going to ask you but is your dad abusive?
Jax: how do you know about that?
Charlie: well after you left I opened the door again to ask you a question and I saw your dad.......punching you
Jax:this is between us and us only
Charlie: Jax you have to tell someone, I don't want you getting hurt
Jax: I'm fine
Jax: bye
Charlie: wait, please don't get hurt
Jax: I won't, I've learned a thing or tooI finally get off my phone and hear the front door open "honey I'm home, I've got takeaway, your favourite" mum yelled from downstairs. "I'm not hungry" I shout, then I hear footsteps coming up the stairs, then the bedroom door slowly open "hey honey, what's wrong, is it something to do with school" she asked "no mum, I'm just not that hungry, i bought extra food today, it kinda filled me up a lot, sorry" I said " oh..... well I put it in the fridge if your hungry later and you better not turn into one of those anorexic kids food is good for you, ok" she said "really mum you know food is life to me" I replied "I'm going to go to bed early tonight, see you tomorrow" "oh......ok honey goodnight, sweet dreams".
Today is a new day I thought as I was staring at the ceiling, I heard a knock at the door and then it slowly opened "hey Charlie, it's time for school, you know the routine I'll be back at 7:00 blah blah blah, and guess what your not late for the bus, YAY" mum kinda sounded happy today, well that's the first. Same routine, I roll out of bed, have a shower, brush teeth etc.
I got to school abbot early today so I head to the library to catch up on some work but I ended up reading a book about love. Pretty random huh. Anyway as I was reading I notice someone watching me, I look around but all I see is the librarian putting books a per usual. Then I felt a chill run down my spine, I turn around and you guessed it Jax was there looking straight into my eyes "um....hi, what do you want" I asked "what I want is for you to not tell anyone about my dad got it" he said in a stern voice "gotcha boss" I said while saluting. Typical me, weird and wonderful. "Whatcha reading" he said behind me, "oh......um nothing just a book I found lying of the floor" i replied. "Really it happens that the book is called True love, who's the lucky man? He said in a sarcastic voice, "NO ONE, um like I said just a book one the floor I found" I blushed "sure, sure" and just like that he walked away.
