Evie Pov
So for a while, Corbyn, Allen, my dad and i all sat at the table drinking hot chocolate, talking about random things.

My dad seems to like Corbyn which im thankful for and Allen actually seems to be warming up to him.

Which is strange because he doesn't warm up to any guy i acknowledge quickly.

Although Corbyn is gone now, he left an hour ago.

"Corbyn seems to be a good guy, sorry for misjudging him before" Dad apologized.

"Its fine dad, i mean you have every right to be sceptical when i comes to my last boyfriend" i rolled my eyes.

"Jackson is so lucky that i didnt kill him that day" Allen clenched his fist.

He is lucky, lucky that Allen didn't kill him and as of yesterday, lucky that Corbyn didn't either.

"So movie?" Dad suggested.

"Yes please" Allen and i both said in unison and he turned the tv on.

~next day~
I walked down the school hallway looking for Freya, easily avoiding the group's of teens that came from all directions.

I came out into the schools main area were i felt like i could breath again now that im not surrounded by bodies.

"Evie" i heard an irritated Jackson call.

I pretended as if i didn't hear him and kept my pace as i scanned the room for Freya, i didn't see her this morning which was odd seeing that we always talk in the morning.

"Im talking to you Evie, when are you gonna clean that cotton out of your ears?" Jackson became more frustrated.

"EVIE" Jackson strictly said and i finally stopped.

I turned around to face him, his beaten face and the fuming expression he wore and his buddies behind him.

"What?" I asked snarkily and he narrowed his eyes.

"What do you think? Your new little boyfriend did this to my face" he angrily pointed from me to his face.

"He's not my boyfriend" i said plainly, i wanted to give him as many hints as possible that i wasn't putting up with his bull today.

"Boyfriend or not, you owe me" i did a double take at Jacksons statement.

"Owe you? I dont owe you shit, and if i did what would that be?" I asked.

Jackson snickered, striding up to me and leaning down to me face.

I stood my ground besides my now increasing heart rate and every instinct in my body telling me to run.

"How about the night we would have had if Corbyn hadn't interfered" Jackson lowly said so only i heard.

I narrowed my eyes and brought my hand up and slapped it hard across his face and his head snapping to the side.

"I am not your little girl who just pleases him whenever he needs to be!" I spat at him.

"Oh hey, why dont you check ebay and see if they have a life for sale, because you could really use one" i snapped at him.

Jackson's nostrils began to flair as he glared at me.

Before he could say another word i turned around and started on my way, ignoring the couple of stares from a few students.

"Hey i didn't say you could walk away from me!" I felt Jackson's ruff hand grab my arm and pull me back.

I whipped around, rotating my arm around his, locking it and i pushed up with the most amount of strength that i could.
