Aria POV
Even though I did not want to do what I did at the mont, I couldn’t help but slap Jaxon on the face as he held his cheek, looking at surprised.
"What was that for?" he asked as I rolled my eyes.
"Don’t tell , what was that for? You know why I did it. Know your limits. What is so hard for you to understand? Stay away. Co on, please don’t make things any more difficult for the both of us or else you won’t get to take on a ride back ho next ti," I said to him, hoping he would just listen to my words, but all he did was tap on his will continuously.
"You are not going to change my mind from being close to you. My wolf wants you, which ans I want you, and that’s final. Nothing more, nothing less."
We soon got ho, and I stepped out of the car, storming off down the street without saying anything to him. I got ho only to find my mom was already preparing dinner.
"Aria," she called as I stopped in my tracks.
"What?" I yelled at her, trying my best to hold my temper as she looked puzzled.
"Did sothing go wrong at school?" she questioned as I shrugged, looking back at Jaxon as he stood there, his hands folded and a smirk on his face.
I did not bother to say any more words as I stord off, leaving both of them puzzled. I went straight to my room and threw my bag on the bed. As I slamd onto the bed, staring up at the ceiling, I was puzzled at what exactly was wrong with .
I couldn’t even explain how I felt. I could not tell if I was feeling angry, just confused, or if I could not skip to my words by staying away from Jaxon. Everything just confused so much that I did not know what to do but lay there, trying to pour my aggression on soone, but I didn’t know who exactly.
"I’m going to make his or her life miserable."
Just then, I heard a knock on the door, and without even asking who it was, I was more than sure that it was my mom.
"It can’t be anybody else. She’s the only one who would not stand away from and just always want to ddle in my business."
I stood up quickly and opened the door, and truly she was the one.
"Mom, stop it. I don’t want to talk. Why is it that anyti I just want to be on my own, you always find a way to invade? You always find a way to get through to . This ti around I don’t want you getting through to . I can’t deal with anything I am going through on my own," I said.
"Why?" I hoped I was not sounding as harsh and as confused as I felt.
"On your own? You think you can really do everything on your own? Talk to , okay? This is a new life we are living, and I would not get angry at you if you are placed in a bad position. I know how it feels, okay? I know that you are not yet settled and I know that things still confuse you. All you have to do is just confide in , tell , and we will find a solution. Not just coming away and slamming the door and trying to prove that you are so angry. And you can always get angry," she said, making illustrations as I rolled my eyes.
"I’m fine, Mom. It’s just the rules. The rules that my stepdad and you gave concerning Jaxon. He’s not keeping to his own part of the bargain. At least tell him. Tell him that I just want to be on my own in school," I said to her as she imdiately kept silent.
I knew it. I knew she would not find a solution and instead would just stay quiet. I knew that my stepdad was just going to control her any way he wanted.
"I don’t think I can do that."
"Why don’t you just try? Try and you’ll see. See, you can actually coexist with Jaxon. He is the only one who can protect you. You know that. You know that without him, that school would be a living hell, and you insisted you don’t want to change schools anymore. What else do you want to do now?" she said as I stayed silent.
"Fine, fine. Okay. I would cope. I will find a way. Just leave already since you don’t have a solution," I said, and before she could say another word, I slamd the door, locking it twice before going back to lay on the bed, trying to fall asleep.
"Maybe if I slept a little, I would forget everything and I would stop thinking about Jaxon."
But it wasn’t even up to another five minutes when I heard a knock again.
"Mom," I yelled, hoping she would go.
"Polynok," continued.
I stood up, dragging my legs on the ground as I got to the front of the door, opened it, and it was Jaxon.
I imdiately used all my force to close the door, but he was faster than , and before I knew it, he was inside my room, shutting the door behind him.
"Jaxon. No," I said, hoping he would listen.
"Stop that. Stop telling no. I’m not an animal, okay? And besides, it’s not like I am doing this because... because I just want to take advantage of you. I know you have so feelings for . I have the sa thing too. I care for you. I don’t want you to run away from . If you don’t want around you, it’s fine," he said, his words a bit softer than I had ever heard before.
I tried to mouth out a word or two, but I was totally speechless. He walked closer and closer to and held my hand as I stood still.
"I cannot force you to do what you don’t want," he said, his face just a few inches from mine.
"I promise I won’t bother you anymore if that is what the problem is. I won’t, I promise," he said as I nodded.
"Fine, fine, just stay away from , please," I said, but for so weird reason, and for the first ti ever, those words did not reach the depth of my heart.
It ached listening to myself say those things like I did not an what I had just said, like I was having regrets already.
