The Scars Of Us

CHAPTER 16

Mr Reed apparently had to go on a business trip thank goodness. He made himself scarce after what he did the other night. I was more uncomfortable around him now that I felt he looks at me like a piece of meat. But surprisingly whenever Mr Reed would try to talk to me, Jax would some how pop up out of no where and just stand there.

I hadn't seen Jax all day today, he dropped me home and said he had to hit the gym. So now I was lying on my bed watching Locke & Key on Netflix. I felt so snuggled in. I had my soft comforter, my hair was freshly washed and my face was spotted with pimple cream. I was close to getting my period so now my face just has canyons like the moon.

I sipped my hot chocolate when my phone started to vibrate. I looked at the caller and smirked, "Hey." I say nonchalantly.

"Waddup biiiitch. Okay so Bobby and I had just finished a date,"

I smiled, "Cute, was it fun?"

"Yeah! We ate a lot of food so it went pretty well."

I laughed, of course as long as Heather was fed she's always having a good time, "So what's up?" I asked.

"Oh right! So, Bobby's cousin, Timothy is in town, and he wants to take him to the fight tonight. He says he can get some extra tickets if we wanna go."

I sighed, "Heather I'm already in bed, I have my netflix and hot chocolate and I have my pimple cream on. You already know that it's a no."

"Jax is fighting." Jax is fighting? Wait is today Thursday? I looked at the date on my phone. Shit. It is. I felt this inner battle form with me. Do I stay? Or do I go? Wait why does the fact that Jax is fighting make me suddenly question whether I wanna go or not?

"And? Why does that concern me? Because it doesn't" I said in a huff.

I hear Heather smirking, "Milly, we both know that you are insanely attracted him, and to be fair, he is built like a greek god so...I really can't blame you."

"Heather! I do not! He's not my type. He's too scary." I argued.

"Exactly! He is way out of your comfort zone which makes you curious! You know that apparently those kinds of relationships have the most wild sex?"

I felt my cheeks heat up, "Heather! Shut up!" I exclaimed, "It's not even like that!"

Heather squeals in laughter, "Okay! Okay! But can you please come! I don't want to be the only girl! Besides we'll probably leave straight away since Timothy is leaving early in the morning."

I sighed, leaned my head against the wall and groan, "Fine!"

"Yay! Thank you!" She yells in excitement, "Okay we'll be there in twenty minutes."

Why do I let Heather convince me to do these things. I really need to grow a backbone. I always say yes because it felt a little mean saying no. UGH! And yet...I have no one to blame but myself.

I climb out of bed to try and figure out what I'll wear. I am not going to dress up. If she's gonna call me last minute, I'm gonna dress last minute, which consists of my oversized grey hoodie, nike leggings and my white air force ones. I threw my hair up in a messy bun and did a slight touch of concealer and mascara that is it. I am not trying to impress anyone, I am going to be a supportive friend. THAT'S IT.

"Damn it's more packed than usual!" Heather said wide eyed.

I did not feel like being here right now, but I also wonder if I'll see Jax? I mean he is fighting right? So I'd have to see him? We push through the chaotic crowd toward the back. Bobby goes through some double doors. What're we doing here when the fight was out there?
