I’m ashamed I can’t even hold her eyes when she looks at me.

Kuso, she could have come to me, but does she really not trust me? After everything we’ve shared?

“Knock it off,” Ulises throws a can of peas at me, pulling me out of my brooding.

“What?” I ask rubbing my chest and throwing the can into the shopping cart.

“You two are acting like children. Man up,” Ulises growls, “She wanted to tell you what was happening with her, she was just afraid. Fuck.”

“I’m not saying anything man,” Jax says dryly.

“The fuck you aren’t. You need to cut her some slack, put yourselves in her shoes. You fools can’t go running off every time she tells you something… disturbing,” Ulises chastises us and my guilt triples. I didn’t handle the information overload well, and the jealousy I felt at seeing Maddie and Ulises together didn’t help.

“Since when have you become her advocate?” Jax snaps.

“Since she feels like a monster and the two people who should be there for her just bail on her at the drop of the hat,” Ulises snaps back and kicks the shopping cart away.

His words gut me. I’ve been so ashamed of how I reacted I haven’t been able to bring myself to comfort Maddie. She needs me and like Ulises said, I’ve been acting like a child.

“Fuck off, man,” Jax turns and starts walking away.

“You’re a coward. I cannot believe Maddie actually considers you her best friend, and you her boyfriend or whatever,” Ulises mutters refereeing to Jax and me.

Jax whirls around looking pissed, “You don’t know jack shit about my relationship with her.”

“I didn’t run because of what she said but because I was jealous,” I say softly. It’s hard admitting this in front of these two. They’re older and would make a much better match for Maddie than me. Jax has a goddamn bunker and Ulises is an expert with weapons, I’m just a twenty-something has-been ex-high school football player. I know she’s attracted to both of them, I’ve just kind of been turning a blind eye to something I’ve known for a while.

“You were jealous, jealous of what?” Jax asks taking a few steps back towards us.

“Fuck man, what do you want me to say? We walk in and find Maddie and Ulises together, she’s crying, he’s comforting her,” I turn to Ulises, “She trusted you enough to tell you her problems. She didn’t trust me enough to turn to me in her time of need.”

“You fuckwad she loves you she was afraid you would stop loving her,” Ulises throws a few more cans into the cart before turning to Jax, “It really messed her up, you icing her out.”

“I didn’t ice her out,” Jax replies immediately.

“Didn’t you though?” I ask him, “Just like I’ve been doing, also, fuck.” I rub my hands up and down my face.

Before anyone one of us could continue, a shrill scream comes from the other end of the store, in the direction where Clara and Maddie have gone.
