A LITTLE BIT OF DIRT AT THE BEGGINING LOL

The drive home was silent.

I didn't understand why Hero was suddenly mad at me. I could never understand him anyway.

He entered the house first and then I went in closing the door behind me. 

The first thing I saw was Mercy and Theo waiting for us in the living room. When they saw us they both stood up from the couch.

"You're late" Mercy simply said. 

"We did a small stop" Hero said.

"The dance was cancelled because of the fight" Mercy said.

"Say that to Alex, not me" 

"Are Max and Bella back home safely?" I asked Theo and he nodded. 

Hero rolled his eyes and turned around so he could walk to his room.

I let out a sigh "Okay, so why are you rolling your eyes now? What did I do, Hero?" I threw my hands in the air.

He turned around to face me with a hard expression.

"You care too much about him" he answered simply.

"And what do you want? For me to just stop caring? I'm sorry but he is my friend!"

"Didn't seem like it when you were sucking at his neck earlier" He spat out and I heard Mercy gasp.

"Apparently I did this and a lot more to you too but you are nothing to me, not even a friend" I said back. 

He gritted his teeth and came to closer to me.

"Say that to my face" he rasped. "Come on, Jo. Don't hold back. Say whatever you want to say to me and get over with it" He pushed.

"Ugh you are such a fucking dick!" I yelled. My eyes immediately widened and I slapped my hands to my mouth. "Sorry I didn't mean to say that" I quickly said. 

Hero raised his eyebrows in amusement. Then he laughed. 

"Say it again" he simply said smirking.

"I'm not going to say it again. It just came out. I'm sorry" I started walking away from him and to my room. I said bye to Mercy and Theo and ran upstairs. 

"Jo, wait" I heard Hero's voice. I ignored him. I was so embarrassed. 

I suddenly felt his hands from behind me. He twirled me around and with a swift movement he pushed me to the wall on the hallway. 

"What are you doing?" I whispered looking up to him. 

"I'm sorry for acting like a dick" he said. "I understand you and Max are friends I just... I don't like it very much" 

"Why?" I asked oblivious. 

He rolled his eyes.

Then he grabbed my hand and pulled me into his room. 

He closed the door and pushed me against it.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I want you only for myself?" His hands were against the door on either side of my face. 

"You are mine, Jo" he whispered. "Get that in your head" 

I wanted to protest. I wanted to tell him that I'm not. I wanted to tell him that I'm my own self and I'm independent like Mercy has taught me so many times but I couldn't. His gaze made my legs wobble. 

"Say you won't kiss him like that again. It killed me." His gaze killed me "Promise me" 

I wanted to shake my head. Max and I were always like that. I wouldn't stop because of Hero.
