I gasp. "What happened to your face?" I ask Jaxon when he shows up after me for once at the table. "Nothing just a fight with a friend," he says.
I see dry blood and his eye is bruised and he's now covering it.
"Why did they do it?" I ask.
He shrugs. "Felt like riling them up I guess."
"Was it Harley that did it?" I ask. "No, he's too weak to do anything to me," he says. "Who was it then?" I ask.
"It was Decklan," he says.
"I have an um soothing balm for bruises because yeah here i'm constantly getting bruises," I say.
I sit closer next to him.
"No, it's alright," He says.
He kissed my marks last night, from the fresh ones to the ones that are fading. I ended up crying because of that.
He held me when we were watching a movie until he had to leave.
Because he couldn't stay the night my dad would slaughter him. I really would have enjoyed waking up with him.
"Anyway, how are you doing?" he asks. "I'm okay," I say.
"Just worried a little that's all."
"Babe, I always get into fights this one was just more physical," He says. "Yeah and I worry, seriously what if a fight is that bad one day that you get severely injured or even die?"
"I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna die," he says.
"You could," I say.
"I won't," he says then pulls me closer. "You could though," I glare cupping his cheeks.
He sighs. "You look cute when you frown."
"Shut up, no I don't!" I exclaim. "I have a special present for your birthday coming up," He says.
"Yeah?" I say.
His birthday is in four days and mine is in two weeks.
"You are going to love it, gonna be the best birthday present ever," he says. "Now you gotta tell me," I say.
"Nope, wait until your birthday, it's gonna be much better when you wait for it, trust me," he says.
"Can you at least give me a little clue?" I ask.
"No, I have photos and videos of it on my phone though," He says.
"Show me!"
"No, Bella on your birthday I will." I huff. "Okay fine, i'll be patient, i'm not telling you what I've gotten you for your birthday either then."
"I'm fine with that, never really celebrated my birthday before," He says.
"What do you mean?" I ask. "I've never really liked it," he says.
"Well, I'll make you like it," I say.
"Did my cousin give you this bruise?" he asks me holding my arm. "Who is your cousin?" I ask.
"Harley is, you didn't know this?" he asks.
"That dick is your cousin?"
"Whatcha mean dick? He's chill," he says. "He literally harms me," I say.
"Well he has a disorder i'm sure he doesn't mean it," he says. "He keeps doing it though, someone has to watch him if he's purposely hurting people," I say.
"I'll speak with him," He says.
"Probably won't listen to me because he's one of those dudes that expect you to respect him if he's older."
"He doesn't respect me so he shouldn't expect respect," I say.
"Yeah that's okay just tell me when he hurts you and I'll deal with him," he says. "Yeah, I will."
"You ready for tomorrow?" he asks.
I tense, only a little. It's the night i'm going over to 'Sophias' house. Actually his.
"I'm ready... I think I wanna do it so badly but I just get nervous," I say.
"I know baby, I promise to make you as comfortable as possible," he says. "We don't have to, when you are ready I'll be waiting."
"Well, I think I will be, can't wait to see your house anyway," I say.
"Yeah please don't scream at me about my house, people always get shocked about it," he says.
"What could be so shocking about it?" I ask.
