"You should try this more often"

Chapter 8

I parked my Mercedes right next to Chloe's black Volvo ,she waited for me by her car, she came just before me.Once I came out and we started walking toward the school's door, a loud car's engine approached the parking lot catching our attention, when we turned it was parked already and guess who was in it, the last person I ever expected to see.. here and now, the same dirty blonde hair and light brown eyes, the same body, maybe more muscular and taller but it was him. It was Stacey and Cole, my ex boyfriend. I didn't see him or know anything about him for over a year, after our broke up,he used to be with us in elementary and middle school, he went to onther school after his freshman year in our high school. I can say our break up affected me badly, screwed me actually. We were together for over a year and it was the first and only time I got into a serious relationship and I loved him like crazy, trusted him with everything. He was always by my side when I needed it the most, he helped me out of the darkest weeks in my whole life, months maybe. I thought he was the best thing ever happened ,untill he cheated on me. Everything turned dull then. I wouldn't ever believe it if anyone told me this... but I saw him. I really didn't know what was the problem with us or  what made him do this to me, I used to be broken and he held me back, I loved him so freaking much he was the closest person to my heart he saw me in my worst and helped me out, then he just cheated on me, even though he had always been telling me how much I mean to him and how much he loved me, I saw his love for me in his eyes we were simply perfect .Why wasn't I enough for him? I noticed the lie I've been living it's like it slapped me hard on the face. After a few days of me declining and not replying to his texts he wasn't even trying to explain himself in the texts he sent. He came to my house and said everything he knows it will affect me badly and tear me apart, he knew my weakness and used it perfectly against me, then left me forever. He turned me to who am I today, the hard unbreakable bad girl with no feelings. My friends kept telling me it was never my fault, a part of me knew they were right but I still don't know why had he done this to me. Time passed and healed the pain leaving a permanent scar. Now the móther fúcker is right in front of me ,my jaw clinched and my body started shaking I can see Chloe frozen by me, she gasped leaving her mouth in 'O' I made eye contact with him, his eyes carried emotions I couldn't understand. Stacey cleared her throat taking us back to reality.

"Sorry for interrupting the moment but my boyfriend and I have other plans than staring at shit" she snapped simply and tried pulling Cole by his arms to move but he didn't move an inch never breaking the eye contact with me but shortly he responded and walked away past us. I felt tears began to form in my eyes, all the memories flooded in my mind and I couldn't help it. Chloe pulled me into a tight bear hug.

"Everything will be alright..he doesn't deserve your tears." she whispered and I know she is right, he deserve nothing from me and I'm not getting my self into this again ,crying and feeling horrible because of him, I've already wasted a lot of it for him, but I couldn't help the tears streaming down my face. I tried to obtain my self and swiped the tears off my face, Chloe kept holding me to her, putting one arm around my back on my shoulders, comforting me  she leaded me inside to the bathroom directly to wash my face and re do my ruined make up.

"Please don't tell this was your expensive mascara." She tried to cheer me up, I chuckled softly and nodded, she made a sad face and looked at me with concern, the first period had began five minutes ago but thanks to the stars no one noticed me crying I covered my face with my hair and looked at the ground so no one could see my face or they would be talking about it forever. When Chloe made sure I was finally okay and I felt I won't break down again I collected myself and walked for the first period, unfortunately Chloe wasn't with me. The teacher seemed too into the lesson so he didn't bother asking me why was I late, I sat at the first empty place I saw ,next to a random girl, we never talked I believe, I gave her a warm smile then looked at the front, I wasn't bothered to find someone I know. I was trying hard to concentrate with the class but one question hasn't left my mind. What's next ? It seems that he is completing his senior year here. He really deserve Stacey they make a perfect bítchy couple. I noticed someone hissing my name few times from behind I eventually looked back to see Jax leaning toward on the desk.

"What? " I yelled whispering , my confidence voice slowly coming back. He looked at my eyes with concern his grey periced eyes softens as they met mine, I noticed the blue strips in it making it looks extremely gorgeous.

"what's up?" He asked simply with concern I looked away from him and looked at the floor before replying.

"Nothing." I looked back at his eyes, it was clear he wasn't convinced with my reply but I turned around quickly so he can't see the emotions and sadness in my eyes and because the teacher will notice us. I gathered my stuff and went quickly out of the class the moment the bell rang to avoid another questions from anybody it was clear I wasn't okay because I wasn't. While I was heading to the second period Vanessa, Emma and Chloe rushed to me and pulled me into a group breaking bones hug, It was really hard to breath.

"You will be fine he is such a bítch and we won't let him bother you."Emma started I nodded with a crooky smile on my face.

"If he just dared to bother you I'm going to rip his head off his body, ássholes doesn't deserve mercy." Van added she seemed angry and serious ,they all nodded.

"Let us not forget his whóre as well"Chloe said reminding us about his bítchy girlfriend.

"I'll rip her head off either." Van added as she punched the air. I chuckled lightly at her.

"Thank you guys, you are the best." I said honestly and I really meant it I couldn't ask for better friends than them, I take them as my family. They responded with another group hug. The second period's bell rang, we pulled away and rushed to our classes. There faces were priceless I kept laughing at it till I went in the class, the laugh faded completely once I saw Cole sitting in the class, looking at me when I entered, I avoided any eye contact and sat at a place far from him the teacher didn't come yet so I had my time to choose the farthest​ place away from Cole. I was shaking a little, I cursed myself for it, a hand toke a hold of my shaking one, I looked up to see Jax sitting next to me I didn't even notice him beside me. He smiled a warm smile that showed his dimples, comforting me. Hold on is this Jax smiling? for the first time in forever JAX was smiling and it was to me, without noticing my jaw dropped, for a moment ,I forgot about Cole, Stacey and all the drama I was in, I didn't realize my dropping jaw until he laughed. Jax Jacob laughed, so first he smiled and now he is laughing this so much for me to hold, he is too good in both I mean smiling and laughing, he is good in smirking too but anyway, he should smile and laugh more often he looks great and hot as fúck.

"You should try this more often." I snapped taking the attention off me.

"More of what?" His smile turned to a smirk..meh.

"Smiling and laughing I mean." I replied honestly, he is really good at it. He didn't reply but smiled again then looked to the front, the teacher had began the lesson, I felt a gaze burning my side, when I looked it was Cole and he looked at me the same way he did previously, the look I didn't understand but this time I think there was sadness in his eyes, My body tensed imeditily ,I felt a squeeze on my hand, oh Jax hasn't left my hand yet but it was comforting so I didn't bother taking my hand away I was using the other one anyway, he looked between me and Cole but didn't say anything just kept moving his thumb in circles on my hand comforting me, I looked away from Cole to look at Jax and give him a resurring smile before I look back to the teacher. Jax has been holding my hand the whole class and used the other one in writing so did I, he kept moving his thumb softly in circles on my hand from time to time comforting me. The lunch break went good. Cole was far from our table with Stacey and her squad. Lots of eyes were drown on me to see what is my reaction to have the one I hate dating my ex boyfriend but I didn't give them the sad face they expected to see, the girl's helped me not worry about it, it felt relaxing to know you have people by your side who are ready to help you out and defend you. The rest of the day went good when ever Cole or Stacey and her bíches looks at me, before I could even react one of the girls who is in the same class as me shoot them a death glare which made them turn there eyes away from me. The last period no one was with me but it was fine I don't need a constant supervision. We were supposed to meet at my locker and walk out to our cars together. While I was heading to my locker a hand pulled me back by the arm and turned me around to face him.
