Jaxon POV

"I'm breaking up with you."

She's breaking up with me?
My voice caught in my throat, trying to think of the words so say back to her.

The soft golden caramel strands that I loved to run my fingers through were now hiding her face from me and the fact that I couldn't look into her deep blue eyes caused my heart to throb.

No. There was no way she was breaking up with me, nothing had gone wrong for this to suddenly come up.

Taking a few steps forward and planting my hand under her chin, I tilted her face up towards me and wiped the tears that had trailed down her face.

"No."

Her eyes widened. "No?"

"There's something going on that you're not telling me. Something that's causing you to do this even though you don't want to."

Quinn avoided my gaze and took a step back from me, pushing my hands away from her face. She turned around and walked towards the back door, her back turned to me so that I couldn't watch her lie. I knew she was lying, but why?

"Jaxon, we just are not meant to be. It's not you, it's me." I scoffed at her line and walked towards her, turning her face to look straight at me and I planted my lips on hers. I heard the sigh coming from her as she melted into my touch, our mouths forming together as she reached to clutch the back of my shirt like she always did.

"I love you." I muttered between kisses and suddenly she froze, pushing me back again and shaking her head at me.

"No, you can not love me. I'm ending things and I need you to leave." I couldn't help but notice that her eyes still never left the floor and the hurt and agony that I felt was pushed away at the feeling that there was something unexplained going on that was causing this.

"Quinn, I love you. Don't push me away, tell me what's going on." My hands pushed her face to look up at me once more and the sadness that shone in her eyes was heart wrenching. "Let me help you, tell me what to do, I'll do anything."

Her lip quivered and tears began to form as she just shook her head repeatedly. "Jaxon please." The quiet begging in her voice caused me to step away, something or someone had bothered her so much that she wouldn't even change her mind. I reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear, kissing her forehead and walking towards the front door.

I could hear the sobbing coming from the living room as I left through the door and made my way back home. This wasn't the end, I would figure out what to do and how to fix it before I would let her go. There was no way I was going to let Quinn, the girl I've come to love, go so easy.

The ride home was dreadful, the only thing playing in my mind were Quinn's sobs, over and over like a broken record. My fists were tightened on the steering wheel until the knuckles were practically white before I took a deep breath, breathing back out slowly and relieving some of the tension in my body.

As soon as I parked the car and made my way inside, I went straight to Thomas' room and pushed open the door.

"Dude, ever heard of knocking?" Thomas remarked as I made my way towards him in his computer chair.

"What's wrong with Quinn?" Thomas faltered slightly at my words before trying- key word, trying- to put on a straight face.

"I don't know, she's your girlfriend, you should know before I do." I scoffed and turned off his gaming console that he had tried to turn back around to.
