Chapter 25

**Blake**

Jason left for California last night but him and I made sure to spend our time together eventful. I didn't know he had it in him but I was able to finally see the sweet side of Jason. He took me everywhere and nowhere. He took me to the aquarium, water park and even the zoo which I really enjoyed. But we also stayed inside and watched our favorite movies and played video games. Every chance we got, we would make love. It was harder than I thought to let him go but this is what's best for him now is to have a relationship with his dad and I know as soon as he turns 18 he is able to return back to me. I think I can hold off for a couple of months.

I made my way to my locker to get the things I needed for my first three periods.

"I see your little boy toy is gone." A voice said from behind. I didn't have to turn around to know who that voice belonged to. It's different being around him without Jason stepping in to threatened to beat the crap out of him.

I shrugged. "He's not completely gone, he just moved back to his home state." I slammed my locker shut and faced Braydon with a scowl on my face. If he thinks I am scared of him, he is dead wrong.

"Well, I was thinking about it and decided to take you back. At least with me, you wouldn't be committing incest." He smirked. I can't believe I use to find his stupid smirk sexy. What was I thinking?

So Jason and I haven't been trying to keep our relationship a secret when our parents weren't around. He would kiss me in the hallway and Ashley swore that if she didn't break up our kiss the other day, we would have been making babies in front of the whole student body.

Before I could even answer, another voice did it for me. "Leave her alone Braydon." Of course I knew this voice as well. Nicole came up from behind him and came to stand next to me. Why today of all days am I sandwiched with the two people I hate the most?

"What Jason and her had wasn't incest," She continued, "They are not related by blood."

"Still gross." Braydon argued. I was over this conversation. Thankfully, Braydon seemed to be too as he walked away but not before throwing a wink my way even though his baby mama is standing right next to me. Guys truly aren't shit sometimes.

"Ew," Nicole grimaced, "I can't believe we use to fight over him."

"You did most of the fighting," I argued, "I'm just thankful I'm not stuck with him for the next 18 years. Now that's more painful than anything I could ever imagine."

"Gee thanks." I shrugged. She was the one who wanted him so badly when in reality not being with him was the prize after all.

"Did you need something?" I asked harshly.

She seemed unfazed. "Just wanted to see if I can sit with y'all at lunch."

"No." I thought long and hard about if Nicole had any redeeming qualities and truth is, she does not she is truly the devil reincarnated.

I began to walk away since the warning bell had already rung but I was yanked back to Nicole. "Please Blake," She pleads, "I literally have no friends and my parents disowned me and I feel like my world is crashing and I am barely hanging on."

"The guidance counselor is a great place to start. She can guide you with what to do next or suggest a club to join so you can make friends but to be frank I am not nor will I ever be your friend so please whatever you think I owe you, let that go because I will never forgive you." I yanked my arm back and quickly got away from her before she could snatch me back.

While walking to my class which I was now extremely late for, my phone dinged in my pocket.

*Jason: Not even a full 24 hours without me and you are already skipping class

Me: I am not skipping lol. Do you have a camera on me or something?

Jason: No lol. I asked Dave to keep me posted and he told me you weren't in class.

Me: I was confronted by Brayden and then for some reason Nicole stepped in

Jason: WHAT? Okay I am getting off this plane

Me: Lol its not a big deal I handled it.

Jason: What he want?

Me: He said he was ready to take me back and at least him and I wouldn't be incest like you and me

Jason: Tell him it's too late. I already have you and I'm never letting go

Me: You mean that?

Jason: Of course Blake. You mean everything to me.

Me: I'll talk to you later. I don't want to be late to class AND walking in texting on my phone

I put my phone away and slowly walked in to the room. Of course all eyes were on me and the whispering started.

The teacher gave me a stern look and I mouthed "Sorry" but I knew that wouldn't be enough to get out of detention.

**

The rest of the day was uneventful and thankfully I didn't end up getting detention which is great because we had dance practice after school.

"Okay girls," I announced, "Finals are coming up and we have to be on our A game. I want y'all to sleep, eat and bleed this routine until you can cite it in your sleep. Okay?" All my girls nodded and the coached grinned at me. Coach loves it when I get this intense during practice. I can't help it, dancing is in my veins.

"Hey Blake look whose sitting at the bleachers." Ash whispered. Why was she whispering and why would I care? We have a lot of people that come to watch our practice. But regardless I looked and I couldn't help the groan that escaped my lips. On top of the bleachers was Braydon intensively staring at me and below was Nicole who was watching the girls warm up. Did they have a late night meeting on how to make my life miserable? Well I am not going to give them the satisfaction.

"Did I miss something?"

"I'll tell you later," I sighed, "right now let's just focus on the routine." She nodded and we took our place. Less than 24 hours without Jason and I'm already yearning for him.
