when the darkness fades

Chapter 10

Indy POV

It has been 6 weeks since I started college and met Jax and I am starting to grow fond of him, he gives me a tingly feeling when I am near and makes me safe. I haven’t met his mother as of yet as she went traveling for work or something, Jax was very vague on the reason and I didn’t see any reason to push him for an answer as the nightmares and visions has slowly eased and I am getting back to a normal version of me without all my memories just the new ones I am making and I am ok with that for now. I am slowly catching up with the work I missed after I had my accident of course with the help of Jax. Or so I thought

Malcom POV

‘Indiana can I see you please’ I call to her as she was about to leave, I see her give a small nod to her friend and he left the room, I am assuming he is waiting for her to finish with me. She walks over to me, my gosh she looks so good, ‘Yes Professor’ Indy said in a tiny voice. It was music to my ears the way she talks, ‘Well,’ I started ‘I know you have been through a lot but I don’t think your going to be able to pass this subject with the marks you have now, I know you have been putting in a lot of effort, ‘but I even have a study buddy’ Indy blurts out. 

‘Well Indiana, I am not sure he is giving you the right information to be able to pass’ I continued. The look on her face made my heart break but I had good reason for doing this as I had to break all ties with her family and so-called friends. ‘Look, I don’t offer this to everyone only in extreme cases I do but I can tutor you after class to make sure your study buddy is helping you correctly, I just don’t want to see you fall too far behind’ I stated, she gave me a small nod. ‘Ok we will start tomorrow then’ Indy nodded again and made her way out.

Jax POV

‘Indiana can I see you please’ Professor Malcom called out as we went to leave the class, she nodded at me so I kept walking out but I stood just outside the classroom, I never wanted to be left alone as she told me that her nightmares and visions have slowed up so if it meant I walked and went every where with her then that is what I would do and besides she is kind of growing on me, I think I really like this girl but I can’t like this girl the way I do as I am waiting to find the one who I will spend the rest of my life loving and caring and protecting her. 

As I am in the middle of my thoughts Indy walks out, ‘hey what was that about’ I ask her. Indy just shrugs ‘oh nothing Professor wanted to make sure I was coping’, I could tell by her face and body language that was not what they spoke about. But I was not going to push her, so I just dropped it, ‘Indy do you want to grab a coffee with me instead of studying, I think we could use a break’ I said, she gave me a warm smile and said ‘as long as your shouting cake as well’, how could I resist her.

Indy POV

Jax took me to his favourite coffee shop, he ordered our drinks and cakes and we sat down. I so badly wanted to tell him what the professor had said to me but how can you word something like that to the person you like spending time with. ‘Penny for your thoughts’ Jax broke through my thoughts, ‘oh sorry didn’t realised I zoned out’ I replied. Jax gently put his hand on mine and said ‘you know you can tell me anything, it wont upset me, just hurts knowing you feel you cant tell me if there something bothering you’, I could see the hurt and truth in his eyes when he said that. 

‘You would not be angry with what I said’ I replied, he shook his head no ‘ Ok, I am going to hold you to that’, he gave a small smile and I continued ‘Professor said that I was falling behind because I was being given the wrong information and want to tutor me after classes’, I seen hurt and anger in his eyes and face. I grabbed his hand to which made his anger fade slightly which mad me slightly calmer. ‘You said you wouldn’t get upset with me for anything I tell you’ I begin to say. He squeezes my hand hard but not hard enough to break simply hard enough to know he is listening. 

‘Look how about we just hang out together I mean it was fun while it lasted helping me with the class work but lets face it sometimes I can be a challenge so let someone else have the problem of teaching me and lets us just hang out because I do not want to lose you, you are important to me’ I said with a small smile so he knew I was being sincere. Still with his hand gripping mine he looked at me ‘I would love to do that, just hang out and watch the world go by with you, you are important to me to and not because you are my best friends nieces but because I really like you, I really do’ he said back, my heart fluttered and I am pretty sure I went 50 shades of red. 

We sat back and did exactly that, we watched the world go by he filled me in on the different people walking past on cars that went past. By the time I looked at my watch it was almost 7pm, ‘Oh no, Grammy is going to kill me’ I said. ‘All good’ Jax said ‘I will explain that you where with me’ ‘Oh like Grammy is going to believe that.
