Chapter Eighteen

Jax

My phone buzzed with a number I didn’t recognize, and when I answered, a voice I didn’t really feel like hearing shouted at me.

“Is this that asshole Jaxen Ambrose?” Kit, Cleo’s friend and roommate, blared into the line. She barked over chatter and whirling machines, and my eyebrow lifted.

“Yeah, how’d you get this number, Kit?” I didn’t recall giving it to her, thought I’d remember.

“You gave to it to me, you asshole. Before we slept together?”

Oh, yeah. That was right. What started out as me trying to get her digits turned into us rolling around in her bed. I lounged back against my headboard. “What do you want? I’m trying to do homework.”

Honest for fucking once, and frankly, all I could do being stuck down here in Florida. I had to at least ride out the semester if I even wanted a chance of graduating from college in the spring. Even still, the possibility of transferring in the middle of my senior year to anywhere would be difficult. It was already hard enough coming in as a senior so trying to transfer second semester? Yeah, it’d be a son of a bitch.

Odds were, I’d ultimately be stuck at Bay Cove University. But at least, I’d be able to take advantage of the time. I’d gotten my own place on the other side of campus from her and Cleo. I’d found a nice apartment complex, and though I’d had to completely abandon my shit at the other place, it’d been worth it. I wasn’t trying to walk back up in that bitch.

Not that any of them would want to see me either.

I didn’t care so much about that part. Stepping back, for me, had just been easier. I hadn’t heard from either of the girls at this point, so I had a feeling the notion was shared. Truth be told, outside of my friends, I’d been lying pretty low on the social circuit. I’d finished out the weekend with them, a long, drawn-out weekend with awkward silences and judgmental eyes. After I’d come back and seen them, they’d allowed the ragging to go for the most part. What was done was done and what was said was said. I didn’t need to hear any more from them and they knew that.

Rick had been even more quiet, not that I cared. In fact, the only people I was personally related to who had reached out to me were my moms, and since they’d only asked how I was doing, I knew at least Rick wasn’t running his mouth to them. I wasn’t surprised. My biological mother, Sherry, had had zero contact with my dad after the divorce. Too much tension there.

That came with the territory when your husband cheated on you.

This had been widely known in my house growing up. That infidelity had come and pulled them apart. They may not have spoken to me about it personally, but they’d known I knew. I’d heard it, nothing but arguments in my house toward the end there.
