# JAY'S POV
I was terrified the next day to go to school after that encounter with Henry . I hated the fact that he had the nerve to just come up to me and throw up s**t like that . It sickened me to even replay the words in my that came form his mouth . And this is all because of that monster . Marcus . But today when i went to school . there was a change , hell ,it was like everything changed , nobody called me names , Sandra just gave me goofy look and went her way . I wasn't happy . I was thinking about my situation getting worse next day . But nothing happened next day either . And nothing happened the following day too . And the next day went peaceful again. It's not that i wasn't thinking about my days going fine . I was . That's when i came across Marcus When i was walking through the hallway and he . Smiled . Reveling his perfect teeth . I just ignored him . I was too scared to smile back . And as a matter of fact i also caught him staring at me a lot of times . Weirdo
To be honest Marcus was handsome , he has blue eyes , thick black hair , sharp jaw . He was built . It was like 5'5 looking at 6'2 . He's perfectly sculpted . But why do all these Good looking punks need to the assholes. Don't get me wrong i wasn't interested in him. I hated him in fact . He's the one responsible for all that i went through and even liking him 1% is out of question . The only guy whom i had in mind was my long lost friendship whom i never saw again . Well lets put that aside . I went home happily that even my parents were happy to see me happy .
" You're happy today . I don't get that smile from you after school." Dad asked looking at his adorable tiny daughter.
" Honestly i'm liking it too , ya know." And i gave mom a kiss and dad a flying kissy to which he frowned and went off to my room . Its Sunday tomorrow and i was planning on being lazy tomorrow , so i did all my activities today .
Next morning i woke up pretty late and cleaned up , had breakfast and was watching something on my computer when the door bell rang . My parents were downstairs . " Must be our hippy neighbor ."
I said to myself . Since they were friends and this house gets a whole lot noisier than ever only when she comes .
Knock Knock
But this time it was locked. I couldn't yell come in mom . So i had to get it . To my surprise it wasn't mom but some one whom i loathed the most . Marcus . I was about to shut the door completely on his face when he put his foot in between saying " Jayden i know we started on the wrong foot , i just ...i just want to talk ." I did see the sincerity in his eyes . But i was afraid to trust him . " Why are you here . Wasn't school enough for you ?. " I saw pain swipe through his eyes but it went away in a second .
" I know i deserve to hear every curse .. but can we talk ? Please ? " And in his eyes for the first time i saw both pain and desperation . " I promise i won't hurt you ." And a promise . What exactly is guy upto?!.
I opened the door for him " Come in ". I signaled him to sit on the small couch next to my bed . He really was huge . " You have a nice room."
" Just tell me why your here ." As soon as i finished the sentence he fidgeted to take out something from his pocket . And he held it to show me and .and it was the locket i gave Ethan . I could feel the tears on my skin . I just wish all this was a dream but no. There were so many emotions flowing within me . " It was you all this time ?" He didn't answer . He didn't even look at me . He sat with the locket in his hand and head down . I moved closer to him , with my facial expression completely visible . " What have i ever done to you ?" . I was waiting , waiting to meet him again , waiting to hug him and talk to him , and this is what i get . It just broke my heart to think that he would do such a thing to me , hell not only me but to a girl.
Finally he spoke but with guilt sounding obvious " Jay i didn't know it was you . i..i i'm so so sorry . I had been searching for you from the time i got adopted . i never got anything . i..please just forgive me . i'm so sorry jay . "
I knew he was but i was too hurt to forgive him " after what you did to me , you think you're worth being forgiven ? . I can never forgive you . NOW . GET OUT . " I pointed towards the door . I did see a tear in his eyes and not to miss he was stunned by the way i reacted . " Jay.. please just listen to..."
" NO! i want you out now ." with that he was forced to leave . I slammed the door and sat down weeping . Why does it have to be him . Why does everything go wrong with me?. And that day i didn't have anything to eat , i didn't go downstairs , i stayed in my room the whole day . I thought of skipping school the next day .
I'm so done with the way i am .
