"Can we have a minute?" Jaxon asked after David broke his lamp. Everyone filed out of the room except Katie and Morgan.
"Do you need something?" I asked the two of them.
"Not really," Morgan replied. Jaxon and I both just stared at the two of them.
"It's not like we're leaving Emily in a teenage boy's room alone especially when the guy's in nothing but his freaking boxers," Katie said and it made sense.
"It does make sense," I shrugged and Jaxon face palmed.
"I don't want them to hear about this. It's embarrassing." He replied.
"Don't worry I'll supervise," A blonde woman said walking into the room with a kind smile.
"Aunt Jane! What are you doing here?" Jaxon said lighting up immediately.
"Well I heard that my nephew was sick with the flu and brought some of your favorite soup. I just didn't know that there was a party on your front lawn." She said laughing lightly. Morgan and Katie walked out of the room giving Jaxon and I a thumbs up. "Now go ahead and get to your teenage whatever you call it," she said. Jaxon hesitated for a moment but began to speak.
"I've been thinking about something a lot lately," Jaxon said taking my hand.
"Is it the fact that your girlfriend is fake dating a gay guy?" I asked.
"No, well sort of, but I mean that's not the important part. I've been thinking about you and I, us. Everything keeps getting super dramatic and stuff. Which I'm not sure if it's because one of our friends is Queen of a secret society of Hulk people or because another one of our friends thinks he's the father of a guy who is the same age as him and keeps throwing stuff extremely calmly. But there is one thing I do know. I love you." Jaxon said.
"There called Thostarians," I corrected before he could go on any further.
"You're ruining the moment," he said.
"Somebody has to this is a comedy."
"Excuse me?" he replied.
"Never-mind, just go on." I said with an eye roll.
"Anyway, I don't want to ruin this so it's about time we are honest with each other. About everything. Half the issues we have is because you get afraid to talk to me or something and start running away from it. The other half is we just don't tell each other anything. We just need to communicate. I want this to work. Which is why I am going to tell you what Daxton was talking about earlier. But you have to promise not to judge." he said and I nodded my head. It was nice for Jaxon to show his vulnerability.
"I had a lot of insecurity issues for a while and somehow after my freshman year ended they got even worse. So, I tried to ignore them by doing some things I probably shouldn't have." he said and my eyes widened.
"Oh my god Jaxon what did you do?" I questioned.
"I ate. A lot. So much that I got all fat. It almost killed me which is a long story that isn't very important. In the end I ended up going to a weight loss camp." he said.
"You went to fat camp!" I yelled with laughter.
"Hey, it's not funny I had some serious issues." Jaxon said.
"I'm sorry. I know you did but I mean come on. You can't blame me. I'm imagining you all fat and I'm sorry. I know a lot of over-weight people whom I love and all that good stuff. But it's just imagining you of all people as fat is too much for me." I said.
"Wow, you are the worst person in the world." He said.
"I'm not judge-mental of over weight people. I'm only judgmental of you." I clarified.
