Danger II // J.N

Chapter 11

Anna's POV.

I've spent the past few days alone in my room, listening to music, and eating a ton of pizza. I can't do anything but feel bad. I hurt Jace. I hurt me. I probably damaged the relationship even more.

I've been so violent lately, and I'm not sure why. But it's gotta stop.

I texted Jace and asked him to meet me at McDonald's around one. I want to apologize and fix our problems, but I will can't be with him. I don't trust him and I don't trust myself.

I throw on a pair of sweatpants and a tank top. I brush my hair out and leave it down. I grab my car keys and phone, and walk out to my car.

I finally arrive at McDonald's. I didn't bring my wallet since I'm not very hungry. I guess that's my depression.

I walk into the restaurant, and see Jace sitting in a booth. I gulp and walk over to him. I smile as he looks up, feeling those damn butterflies I always get around him. He looks at me and scans me up and down. He cracks a smile.

"Hey," He says.

"Hi," I reply, sitting down. "I'm happy you could come today," I say. He nods. I look at his forehead, noticing the bandage above his eye.

"I'm really sorry, Jace. From the bottom of my heart, I can't believe I did that," I shake my head. "You have every right to stay mad at me. Just know, I'm so sorry," I say.

Jace looks at me, and nods. "I was drunk, Anna. You wouldn't of gotten through to me. We could've just waited to talk when we were both sober," He says.

"I was so angry though, it just got to me so quickly. I couldn't control myself it just happened so fast," I say.

Jace nods. "I get it, and I accept your apology. But I think we need a break," He says, his voice cracking. I look in his eyes. I gulp and slowly nod.

"So, um, my mom told me a few days ago that we're moving to San Diego," He says.

My eyes widen. "Really? When?" I ask.

He nods. "Like in a month," He says.

My stomach churns. "Wow, that's soon," I say.

He nods. "Yeah, but I guess it'd be better," He says. I nod.

Jace stands up. "I gotta go," He says.

We stand up and walk to the door. "You never apologized for cheating, which is kinda how it all started," I say, nervously giggling.

Jace shakes his head. "To be honest Anna, I had a good time," He says.

My eyes widen. I feel angry again. I feel not even shocked that he'd say that. I stop walking, and Jace turns around. He looks at me.

"This is typical Jace Norman shit to do. This is classic Jace Norman at his finest. This is the Jace I fell in love with, and god knows why I fell in love with some gangster sex addict who thinks he's the shit all around town."

Jace's eyes widen. He tilts his head back and laughs. "Lets be honest, Anna. You never loved me. You loved what I gave you. I gave you alcohol, drugs, sex! The sex, that's what you loved. You're a slut. We had one fight and you ran off with some adult who gave you everything."

I shake my head in shock. "What is wrong with you? What got into you?" I ask, crossing my arms.

Jace walks closer to me. "You think you can be brutally honest, but I can be JUST as brutal," He spits.

I feel my body tense up again. I end up swinging at him and punching his nose. "Go suck a dick and choke on it," I retort. I watch him flinch back, covering his nose. Blood drips down. He looks at me with a shocked look.

I shake my head and turn around. I speed walk to my car. I get in it and turn it on, feeling some type of power inside me.

As I drive down the street, I laugh at how stupid I was for falling for him. How dangerous everything we've done together was. I find myself laughing hysterically, but every laugh slowly turns into tears. I end up crying at the thoughts of the dangerous stunts I pulled, but how good it felt to be THAT badass. THAT bitch who did whatever. THAT girl, who was completely and utterly in love with some LA gangster.

Jace's POV.

"She punched me, again!" I say, holding my head back as I sit on Corey's couch. I hold a paper towel against my nose.

"What's with you guys? Ever since her illness you guys just fight and it's not fight and make up. It's volatile," Sean says.

"It's her, man. She's a violent bitch," I say.

"You had just as much in this as she did, Jace. You keep fucking around with Alexia while you're with Anna," Corey says.

"Because Alexia gives me shit that Anna doesn't," I say, laughing.

Sean stares at me. "You are such an asshole," He says.

I look at him. I smirk. "The amount of times I've heard that-"

"It's the truth, Jace! None of this would've happened if you didn't run off with Alexia!" Corey shouts.

"If Anna just shut her fucking mouth and didn't go all psycho on us, it wouldn't have happened."

"Anna had a reason to be! You are such a dumbass." Sean shakes his head.

"What reason? She knows I'm like this," I argue.

"But YOU know Anna is loyal and would never cheat on you like you've cheated her. This is why you can't keep a damn girlfriend. It's like you don't even want one. You just want a sex buddy," Corey says.

I look up, realizing that Corey and Sean both are telling the truth.

"You guys are the most dangerous relationship I've ever seen. Between her physical fighting, and you're drinking and cheating, one of you if not both are probably gonna die because of this," Sean says.

I stand up, stomping to the stairs. I stomp upstairs and leave the house. I get in my car, and turn it on. I drive home.

Once I get home, I walk inside and run upstairs. I slam my bedroom door behind me and sit on my bed. I feel guilt, anger, regret, and want.

I unlock my phone and go into my messages with Anna. I read up our texts from last week, feeling nostalgic.

I go into my pictures and videos. I look at every picture of Anna and i. Or just the screenshots from her Instagram selfies. I smile at every picture, seeing her beautiful face. I start feeling a pit in my stomach.

I approach a video I took sometime ago. It was shortly after we first met. We were hanging out on the roof of my house. I hit play.

Anna's contagious laugh starts the video. I watch her smile at the camera. She lays back on the roof. "I could sleep here forever," She says, staring at the sky.

I chuckle.

After remembering how much we've been through, and how much I once loved her. I realize that I truly messed up.

But it's too late.

Anna and I can't ever be together again.
