Bad Boys Who Become Bodyguards ✔

Chapter 13. Jealousy.

Friday 1:15pm.

Another day of school that shall be a lot more boring just like every other day. AJ is planning on picking me up and he should be here at any moment. I watch out the window and see a red sports car pull into the driveway with AJ in the front seat. I walk out the door and he rushes up to me, spinning me around in his arms.

I laugh and he sets me down. "You look great, for a day of school." He says, taking my bag for me. He opens the passenger side door for me and I sit down, feeling the comfort of the leather seat. He sits down in the driver's seat and grabs my hand, kissing it lightly. 

He starts the car and we drive to school. When we pull into the parking lot AJ rushes over to my door and opens it for me, letting me stand and exit. He closes the door behind me and as we start walking he takes my hand in his.

I look over to see Trystan watching us with an angry look on his face. AJ and I walk up to the school doors and he opens it, letting me in first. He follows me to my locker and he leans his arm on the door. "So, prom is coming up." He says.

I look at him and say, "Yep, Masie and I are going to get our dresses tomorrow night." I look up at him and he's raising an eyebrow. "What?" I ask him. He just chuckles and hits the air like he's saying never mind.

"AJ tells me," I say, closing my locker door. "I just wanted to see if you would go with me." He says. I think about the thought for a few moments until I say, "sure." I kiss him on the cheek before walking to the first period.

Before I can enter the classroom I get pulled into the hallway again. I look at the person and it's Trystan. "What do you want?" I ask him, placing my hand to my side. "Why are you with AJ Smith?" He asks, sounding irritated.

"Because I can be with him," I say, brushing a strand of hair out of my eyes. He groans before rubbing his face with his hands. "Kara, he's bad news I'm telling you." He says, reaching for my hand.

I pull my hand away, "Trystan why do you care? You have a girlfriend and this is my life, not yours." I snap, walking into the classroom. I take a seat in the back and watch as Trystan comes in the room after me.

"You don't know what kind of trouble he can get you into." He yells, slamming his fists on my desk. I jump and stand up, looking him straight in the eye. "You don't have the right to tell me what I can and can't do," I say, shoving him as I walk off.

I walk down the hallway and I wipe some tears from my eyes. I walk to the bathroom and I splash my face with water then dry it with a paper towel. I look and see Masie walk in. "God, you look like absolute shit." She says, handing me a makeup wipe. I hear some footsteps approach the door. "Sucks doesn't it?" I hear a voice say. Masie and I turn and see Trystan's girlfriend.

Her name is Sara and she's a complete bitch when she wants to be. "What sucks?" I snap, drying my hands with a paper towel. "Jealousy, I know you're still in love with him." She says, stepping forward, leaning her hands on the sink.

"Oh please, he wishes she was still in love with him. Besides he's got a whore to wake up to every morning anyway." Masie says, dragging me out of the bathroom. She drags me outside and we walk to the parking lot. "Masie what're we doing?" I ask her.

"Text AJ were gonna go home and change then go to a party." She says, pulling her phone out. "I'm texting Jordan to come along and give me a ride home." Jordan is Masie's new boyfriend and surprisingly I actually enjoy his presence.

"Masie, AJ is too busy taking a test right now." As I say those words the bell rings and students get released for lunch. Half of the school walks out and gets in their cars to basically not go to school for the rest of the day.

"Let's do this," Masie says, tossing me the keys. I get in the car and start it, driving home. As I arrive and pull into the driveway I walk to the front door and unlock it but I stop myself as I see a picture resting on the door handle.

I pick it up and see it's a picture of me, Trystan, Masie, and her old boyfriend Ryan. I turn it over and see a small note written, "That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt." -John Green. I feel a sudden urge to cry but I hold it back and walk inside the house.

I walk to my room and sit on my bed, staring at the small photo in my hands. "Kara we're here!" Masie's voice echoes through the house. I hear her footsteps come down the hall and I see her standing at the doorway.

"What's wrong?" She asks, sitting beside me. I hand her the picture and she chuckles, "I remember this, we were in New York City at the empire state building." She sets it down and I notice her wipe her eye.

"Those were the good old days." Her voice cracks and I know she's crying. "I miss you and Trystan together, I've never seen you so happy before." She says, taking my hand in hers. She smiles at me, her face contorted with sadness.

I shake my head at her. "He's not worth it, remember?" I say to her. She stands up and stands in front of me, "Maybe he is." She says.
