Unhinged Desire (Unedited)

Deadly Riptides

Chapter Nineteen

~Violet's POV~

It's been two days. Two whole days. The boys have been MIA for two days. Do I need to repeat it again? TWO days! The dramatic act is getting real old now. I mean if I wasn't pissed when they left, I sure as bloody hell am now. They better be at school today or I will be even more pissed off. Okay, I know it was the weekend and all so I shouldn't be this upset, but like, they know where we live. They tend to always wind up wherever we are so a weekend without a glimpse of them is strange and after all that happened, Jaxton should really be putting in effort to see me.

I get up and get ready, not putting in any effort because why would I? I'm perfect just the way I am and if Jaxton disagrees than he can go to hell. I am eager to get to school early and look for that demon boy. I head downstairs and rush Tee, which really annoys her.

"If you hurry you might see your boy-toy." I sing, in an effort to get to hurrying. She rolls her eyes, but picks up her pace. Uh huh, I thought so.

"I would appreciate not having your mocking thoughts in my head." She rolls her eyes.

"I would appreciate you not hearing my thoughts, but until we figure this whole thing out, complaining is useless and I don't wanna hear it." I sass, before ushering her out to Snow. She drives to school in silence and I don't bother breaking it. Tee's in one of her moods and I'm smart enough to know to stay away. Far, far away. I jump out of the car as soon as we pull up to the school and start my hunt.

"Hey cutie." Jaxton smiles at me as I approach, but the smile quickly fades as he sees the look in my eye. I'm out for blood.

"Don't you dare pull that shit with me, Jaxton." Zander raises an eyebrow, looks between us and disappears. Because what else is he good for? Whatever, he's not my concern, however, the boy left standing in front of me is.

"Vi, love, calm down." He softens his voice and cautiously takes a step forward.

"Don't bloody tell me to calm down." My blood is boiling.

"What's wrong?" He asks, confused. I sigh.

"Really Jax? 'What's wrong?' Really? Are you that moronic? 'I don't want you,' 'I like you.' You have no knowledge of personal space. Like do you not know what anxiety is? Like honestly do you think about how your actions and words will affect others? Do you ever think about anyone else except for yourself? Are you even human? I mean like honestly, you're the most selfish jerk on all of Earth. Oh and don't even get me started on your little girlfriends." I'm fuming, but I can't stop. Time to switch gears. "Every time I turn around there's another little hoe there begging for your attention. Like honestly. I'm done with you and your games. I will not be another one of your pawns that you can move around and use whenever it benefits you."

Am I done? Probably not, but do I need to breathe? Probably. So I stop. He gives me this look, a look so powerful that it gives me goosebumps. A look that weakens my knees. A look that leaves me terrified, but wanting to move closer to him. What is this boy doing to me?

"Where do I even begin with all of that? Honestly? I mean I know you said honestly like ten times there, but do you really want honesty? Do you want answers? Do you want me to open up? Because I don't think that I can do that, Violet." He looks away from me, like the little coward that he is.

"Don't give me that nonsense. You want another reason why I'm pissed? We opened up. We told you everything. I gave you everything. And when I asked you to stay, you left. Without a care in the world. Like it all meant nothing to you. Like I meant nothing to you - so shape up or get the hell on the next ship out. Because I don't need this shit in my life. In case you haven't noticed, I have enough going on, thank you very much. I don't need this added... well whatever you can call this." I motion between us. My hands flail around through the entirety of my talking. My anxiety is kicking in. I can't take this. The people in the hall, the noises, the conversation. It's all too much. Jax lifts me in his arms and walks me outside. Into the cool, fresh air. Away from the people. Now there's only one issue left. I take a few deep breathes, grabbing my neck and pacing on the grass, trying to calm down enough to sort out this last issue. I turn back to face him, looking at him expectantly.
