Chapter 21

Rave

God, she’s beautiful.

I leaned against the locker and watched Jesse grab her stuff.

Her thin frame, pale and ashen made an ache form in my throat. Her big brown eyes looked at me every so often, a teasing hint in the deep depths.

I looked down at my hands, my knuckles red and swollen and clenched them into fists. I’d hit the asshole again that said those things about her.

My muscles jumped, straining under my skin as I tried calming the fury that tore through me.

Jesse fisted my shirt in her hand, forcing me to look down at her. “Are you alright?”

I nodded. I cupped the back of her neck and kissed her forehead. The scent of soap and flowers invaded my nostrils, making my body stir.

The feeling to protect Jesse overpowered me. It controlled me and when that kid said those nasty things about her, my temper took over. Possessing me with hatred. After she had pushed me off of him, the look on her face surprised me. She wasn’t scared of me or my anger. She was worried for me. I knew I needed to get control of myself but when it came to her, I was lost.

Since being back, my brother, Ren taught me everything he knew about fighting and controlling your anger but I could only deal with so much before it took over my body.

Jesse grabbed her stuff from the locker and I wrapped an arm around her waist. She looked up at me and smiled softly. I needed to touch her. I couldn’t help myself. She was like a drug and I needed my fix. I wanted to dive into her and stay there forever. She kept me sane. She protected me from myself and I loved her for it. If only she felt the same.

She’d been hurt way too much in her young life but I would do everything in my power to make her see that we were together.

I would prove that I did not kiss Melanie. She kissed me but Jesse wouldn’t let me explain what had happened. My stomach clenched at that thought. “Jesse.”

She grabbed my hand. “Let’s go to class.”

I nodded and followed her into Mr. Deel’s History class. I sat behind her instead of beside her like I usually did.

She turned to me, her eyebrow raised.

“I don’t want Melanie sitting behind you.”

She breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”

I smiled as she turned back around. Her brown hair was pulled back into a messy bun and she wore tight jeans that begged me to stare at her ass. She used to dress in clothes that were unflattering to her but since meeting me, she opened up and changed her style slowly. She also wore band t-shirts and that made my heart flutter. A girl who liked the same music that I did, was definitely the one. The one. I was only eighteen. I couldn’t think about that yet. What was wrong with me?

A moment later, a folded up piece of paper landed on my desk.
