Boxer boy

Chapter 6

"I can explain!" I cry out. "Yeah, you better fucking explain, what did I say?" He asked. "T-to stay away from him." I whispered shyly. "Yeah, that's right and here you are, dead in the night on the back of his bike, Jace fucking Hart's bike!" He yells, I shush him before he wakes up mum. He runs his hand through his hair and sits down. "Look, please don't get upset, he's not even that bad." I explain to him. "Not bad?" He says, then he starts to laugh and not a little humours laugh, I'm mean like, maniac, psychotic sinister style. I just huff like the three little pigs from the story. "You know what, just because your older than me and that you're my "brother", that doesn't mean you get to boss me around, I want to live a little okay!" I say, angrier by the second. With that I tell him, "You know what, whatever, tell mum for all I care!" I start to stomp up the stairs and I hear him follow me. He's now right on my case now, "Don't even think about talking to him at school, I've got eyes everywhere." He says harshly. I don't know what has gotten into him but... this isn't my brother. "You CANT tell me what to DO!" I yell and slam the door in his face. "We will talk about this later and don't you think I'm not gonna tell mum." He says through the door. I've never ever, been so angry at him before, ever! Honestly who does he think he is. I hear his footsteps retrieving and hear the door slam. I jump with it.

I wish my dad was here. He was in the RAF but died in a car crash on his way to see me. It was on a day before my ninth birthday. He was my rock and I think I took it on harshly, he was the glue of our family. Now, we just manage and get on with our own life's, it's never family time anymore, well not like it used to be. I sit on my bed and silently start to sob. I feel like no ones gets me, I'm so alone and hurt and I feel like I can't talk to anyone. Not even my friends. They wouldn't understand, I don't think anyone could.

I don't think I can even get to sleep with all my thoughts and feelings. So I decided to scroll through Twitter and my other social media's. I quickly click onto Instagram and scroll along through the non ending timelines and feed. I like Instagram but...I'm no we're near popular. I think the most likes I've got is 72, maybe? I have around 600 followers and yeah that's it. Most of my feed is my dogs and a few selfies, when I look good that is, which is 2 out of the 365 days a year. As I'm scrolling through, I receive a notification. Hmmm, that's weird, I hardly get notifications, it said someone has followed me. The user name has the name Jace Hart in it! What? Are you kidding me right now? Jace wants to follow...me? I click onto it and my mouth drops, I'm surprised I haven't caught any flies yet to be honest. It is bombarded with countless mirror selfies of him at the gym with his, 6 no, 8 pack. I look at the top and it says 6.3k followers and following only five people! I look at who he is following and it's his friends and....me!

I shoot up from laying down, what is happening right now? I didn't realise how much I was grinning until my cheeks started to ache. I accept it after a few minutes, I didn't want to seem that desperate. After a few moments I get a new notification. Someone and I mean Jace has DM me.

Hey cutie

Urm, Hi Jace?

What you doing tomorrow?

Probably homework, why?

You're coming to Karl's party tomorrow, I'll pick you up at 9. See you then ;)

What! No I've got work to do and besides, I don't like parties.

Ahhh, cutie, how will you know if you've never been to one?

That's not true, I've been to a halloween party in year 8! :p

Oh cutie, you really are innocent, that wasn't a party.

Yes it was, we had pizza and squash.

You really are in for a shock, see you tomorrow, sweet dreams and don't dream about me too much.

In you're dreams! Night x

Why did I put a kiss! He's gonna think I'm desperate or something. As I'm worrying on, I didn't even realise I had a message come through.

Night cutie

Oh my gosh... Jace Hart put a kiss, what is going on right now? He was known for being hash, rude and cruel and he sent me a kiss. I know what you are all thinking, get over yourself, it was only a kiss. But, from him...Jace, this never happens, he isn't even following any girls. Or does he just hooks up with them at parties? I start to feel glum, well will just see how he is tomorrow. Oh yeah, I'm going to a party. Oh shit, what am I going to wear? I get into the covers and drift off to sleep, it didn't take long after the day I've had.

I wake up at around 9:30am feeling more refreshed and energised. And all I can think about is this stupid party! I text Hayley and see if she's going, she's always invited to them, she tried to drag me out before, but it all ended with me in tears. I know....drama queen. I just felt extremely self conscious okay!

You going to Karl's party tonight? Xo

Hell Yeah, never miss them! Why, are you coming, omg finally the time has come!!! I'll pick you up! Xoxo

We chat for an hour or so and I tell her all the tea. She got all excited about what I said and did with Jace. I said it was nothing, however she disagreed. She said he has to have some sort of crush or feelings with me, but I just brushed it off. I realise that Jace said he would pick me up, so I text him quickly saying can I meet him there instead, he said it was fine, plus I didn't want my mum or Jordan shouting at me, or him for that matter.

As I'm doing my homework, I hear a knock at door. "Come in!" I shout. I carry on looking down at my maths homework and wait till the person spoke. "Jordan told me about you and Jace, I've actually met him before, he's a nice boy." She said surprisingly soft. I stop writing and sigh. I turn around to face her and look at her in the eyes. You forget that when you get older, the people around you get older. Mums hair is becoming finer, her skin is less youthful but she still looks beautiful. "I'm sorry." She looks at me and silently chuckles. "Sweetheart, I was young once too, however did you think me and your dad met?" She's stands up and walks over to me, "oh and I've told Jordan to back off a bit, but...he's only looking out for you, okay?" I nod and she hugs me. I do love my mum to pieces, you forget that they know you as well as you know yourself. I also tell her about the party and I said I'll stay round Hayley's. She relentlessly lets me go and I jump for joy, literally.

Now it's getting around 8 and Hayley's arrived. She's helping me pick and outfit and just being my gal friend. We laugh and we bicker, but we finally get ready. An hour or so later, we are finished and glammed up and... my rooms a absolute tip. I just laugh it off and get my ass into a taxi. The dress I'm wearing is cute but simple. I do like an excuse to get dressed up.

Hayley gives the taxi man the address and we talk and gossip on the way there. I start to get really nervous and anxious as we slowly make our way there. I really don't know what to expect? I hope Jace looks at me or talks to me. What if he's with an other girl... she'll probably be drop dead gorgeous, and everything I'm not....right, fuck it, pass me the bottle!
