Paradox City (Jelsa)

So it begins

"You look sad, babe. What's up El?"
I turned toward my boyfriend Jack. He has soft brown hair, a blue jacket, brown skinny jeans, and grey Vans were his normal attire.

"Nothing! It's just my face, I promise!" I said playfully. Today is both of our 21st birthdays. Our birthday has always been so exciting in the past but this year we hadn't planned anything. Plus here the night life may not allow you to be so full of life in a literal sense.

This town was not exactly what you'd call the best place to be in the during the day, let alone the night. This city is almost creepy enough to be intriguing. Elegant old buildings with modern twists, line the city blocks, as well as the two individual styles. Then there are the people and places in between. Our town has no gang rivalries and we've all come to grasp just how fucked up this place can be. Everything you see is shrouded in mystery, willing to uncover its many secrets and stories , if your willing to believe them. This town is called Paradox City because you never know what can change when the words come out.

"So what should we do today? Maybe we could go out later? Or maybe not. If you know what I mean." I seductively whispered in his ear. He blushed and giggled quietly as he kissed my cheek.

"I'm not su-" muttered Jack.

"Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you."
Jack's former best friend interrupted. His name is Hayden. Red hair, brilliant smile, and a face that hides many secrets. He's attractive until you get to know him.

"Why?"
Jacks eyebrows raised as he held me closer.
"Because it's your birth-" He looked over at me and his eyes filed with hate, " I didn't know you were still with this hoe. All she does is start shit! " His lip curled in disgust.

"Do we have to do this right now? We all know I don't start shit, you do! " I stood  from my seat never dropping eye contact. "You can take your dick and shove it in a blender because all you do is create problems. Everywhere you go you can't help but get into other people's business. All of your claims are BS stories and they're not even good ones! You're a coward who never takes the blame but passes it on someone else!"
His hand was ready to come up and slap me but Jack stepped in the way. Hayden and I were ready to throw down right then and there.
"How dare you accuse me of those things!"
He was so angry. He hated me ever since I refused to ever get involved with him. He was infuriated that I wouldn't be his play toy and resorted to what he was good at: degrading people.
"How dare you hurt people the way you do! Just because your jealous of everyone else's happiness doesn't mean you get to ruin it for them."
He lunged again. This time Jack forcefully pushed back.
"What the fuck are you doing man! Whats wrong with you!"Jack shouted.

This wasn't my fight anymore so I might as well leave. No sense in me getting arrested for a crime that could've easily been murder. They were now engaged in their own fight, too busy to notice that I walked off. Things were going from bad to worse. We all have battles to fight but some leave scars that are deeper than they appear. I hoped Jack would understand.
