My parents pride

Chapter-4- I've come to make amends, my ass.

"You really know how to throw a good punch."

We were all seated on the sofa, Jason was holding an icebag on his head. Jackson had a bruise on his hand.

"Ya I know" I said victoriously.

Jake looks up from his phone." I mean seriously where did you learn it from."

"Oh I joined fighting classes for my defence." I lie

"But why." Jackson asks curiously.

"I just wanted to learn how to." Lie

"My face looks crap , seriously Crys you drew glasses and and a black spot on my nose." Jason speaks painfully.

"I'm sorry but you guys looked so cute, look I even took a pho__."

Shit, did I just say I took a photo.

Jake grows angrily." Don't you dare upload it on Facebook."

"Ooh thanks for the idea." I say with a mischievous wink. Just as I was going to press the upload button. Jake snatches the phone from my hand and deletes the photos.

"How do I look." I say nervously as I come out of the bathroom. I'm wearing a royal blue strapless dress.

"You look hot , not come quick with the makeup."

Anna had come to my house to dress me up when I told her I was going to wear jeans. She was wearing a hot pink lace dress which looked really pretty on her.

"Don't apply too much. I look pretty without makeup."

"Sure much like a zombie without makeup." Anna replies.

"Done.!" She shouts as if at her biggest achievement.

I look at the mirror. And my God I do look gorgeous. I feel alive and pretty again.

We go to Jason's party with Anna's car because wearing a dress and sitting on a motorbike would looked weird.

When we stop near the house, loud music is blasting from the speakers and some couples are making out of the house behind the bushes, I shake my head in disgust.

Inside the house , what can I say it's just like a club packed with shameless teenagers dancing there assess off with the music.

" I will go and get a drink, wanna have one." Anna asks loudly.

"Nope , you go I will find the guys."

"Ok" just like that she disappears in the crowd.

I make my way through sweaty teenagers in search of the J's . I spot Jason kissing a girl, and I immediately turn my head to find Jackson and Jake .

I see Jackson sitting and having a competition as to who drinks the most shots. Jason has already drank 8 whereas his competitor is on number 5.

Jackson spots me and immediately comes near me ." Hey you look gorgeous tonight."

I sashay" are you hitting on me, because that's not gonna work."

"Maybe."

" I am going to search for Jake any idea where he can be?"

"Ya I guess he's outside."

I make my way through the crowd suddenly I see someone pulls my hand and I go rolling towards a guy's chest.

I immediately smell vanilla and recognize the person. I release myself from his grip.

"Don't you dare touch me douche bag.!"

"Aww you're still cocky." He replies with a smirk.

He is Dave, Dave Corbett, my ex. I loved him so much but I guess I was stupid to fall for him. He cheated with me and I broke up. Yup,He was my first kiss.

I shout angrily" look ass stay away from me before I punch you for breaking my heart."

"Look I'm sorry and that's why I've come back to make amends , could you please forgive me I realized that I could not even pass a single day without you."

"Never, we are never ever ever getting back together." Tears swell my eyes and I realize how much I loved him , how much I want him back. But I can't, I can't not now , not never.

I step away and go outside to refresh my self and find Jake. Maybe he will lighten my mood.

I find Jake near his bike wearing casual clothes and smoking cigarettes.

I go near him and snatch a cigarette from his pocket and start forming smoke clouds.

"Woah woah, what's wrong , did someone hurt you. You never smoked." He tightened his knuckles until they turned white.

"No, and I do smoke but not in front of you it's just when Im frustrated."

He sighs and grabs the cigarette from my mouth and throws it on the ground.

"It's not good for your health."

I do the same and pull his cigarette and throw it stamping with my heel.
"Neither is it for you."

"Look what's the matter."

"Nothing." I look away from him because a tear slips from my eye.

He cups my cheek with his hand and turns it towards himself.
"Whats wrong ." He whispers with a genuine concern on his face.

I look down not wanting to face him, my mind flooded with bad memories.
I guess I should tell him. Maybe I will feel better. It's not like I'm telling him about me involved in a gang.
I sigh.
"I met my ex boyfriend."

"What, do you want me to punch him, I'm sure you would have done the punching, but if you want I can again and if__"

I laugh bitterly "No it's ok."
Just when I was going to open a hidden chapter about myself. My mobile rings.

It's a reminder , I need to go.

I hug Jake tightly , while he hugs me back kissing my forehead.
I immediately find myself blushing.

Then this time Jake's phone rings. It's his reminder.
"I need to go. Wait where do you have to go.?"

"I should be the one asking, where do you have to go."

" anyways I've to go."

"Me too."

"Should I leave you home.?" He asks

I guess he should considering the fact that Anna is in the party.

"Ok"

I go near the bike and shit I'm wearing a dress, it would look awkward sitting on a bike.

"Uhm, Jake."

"Yeah"

"I'm wearing a dress."

"Oh it's ok your home is nearby , it won't matter that much, would it?"

"I guess."

_____________

I reach home and throw the heels in the corner change my freaking dress into a black jeans and tank top with leather jacket on top. I grab my gun and insert it in my pant pocket . Tie my hair into a ponytail, remove my makeup and grab a energy bar. I really need that after confronting Dave.

I roll the keys on my fingers and go to my motorbike. I start the engine and drive to 'race'.
