Family first

36. Emma

It's been about a month that has passed since the day I saw Taylor, Zayn has been working really hard, harder than he has ever worked from the time I got here. Today, Jax is getting his girl, I hope this goes well enough for Zayn and I to leave. I'm really scared

Shaun left a while ago. The boys are inside today. Zayn will be going to the shop with his father soon. He said there's some stuff he needs to buy some stuff before leave. Jax is supposed to go this week, but his getting his girl, so he has to stay at home

"Angel, wanna make pancakes?" Zayn smiled

"Yes." I ran to him

He was standing by the kitchen door waiting for me. Once I got to him, we went and got the stuff ready. We started making the batter when Jax walked in and sat on the counter on the other side

I was mixing the mixture when Zayn came and put flour on my nose before kissing my head. I giggled at that, then turned to see he took a pan out and put it on the stove

"Is it ready?" Zayn asked

"Yup,"

I brought the batter to him, and he started a lowly pouring some in the pan, then flipped it when it was ready. I'm surprised how quiet Jax has been through out this time. It's kinda weird. He got up and went upstairs without Zayn even noticing

"Angel, can you get something from the room for me, please?" Zayn asked

"Sure, what is it?"

"See, in my shirt pile, there's a small purple box there. Please bring it,"

"Okay,"

I left while Zayn continued with the pancakes. I went up the stairs and saw that Jax's door was halfway open. Should I check on him? No, Zayn is waiting for me, I went to the room and was about to go to the dresser when I heard the room door slowly close. I turned around to see Jax walking towards me with an unusual look on his face

His eyes were cold and dark. He didn't have a smile or a smirk on his face. It was just expressionless. It was actually scary to see him like this. It takes me back to the time...

Jax grabbed my shoulders and pinned me to the wall, making my heart sink into my stomach as I watched his eyes get darker. How is that even possible?

"J-jax?" I said

Wait a second... that look, it was the same look he used to give me when I first got here. I was really scared now, but then. He smiled

A smile? You bipolar weirdo!!!

"You're so pretty," he said

"And you're weird. Why'd you do that?" I said

"Just messing with you. You know I'm getting my girl today?" He sighed

"I know."

He then leaned in to my ear and said, "But that's not gonna stop me from loving you."

He kissed my cheek before walking out of the room. What?

Snap out of it!

I quickly grabbed the box and ran downstairs, I stared at the box as I walked into the kitchen. I looked up and saw Jax was sitting there again, and Zayn was almost done with the pancakes. He had like 4 more left. I brought the box to him, and he smiled

I stood in front of him, curious to see what he had in it. He opened the box and pulled out a pretty chain that had a small butterfly on it. Where did he get this from?

"Turn," he said

I did as he said and turned as he put the necklace on, I caught Jax staring at me and the necklace. He had an unreadable expression on his face, but the only emotion I managed to see was a small bit of anger
