Chapter 14

Seriously?

I punch my thigh in frustration.

I know Henry and I are weird. It’s just how we are, who we are.

Why am I acting like a brat towards Seth, just because he said we’re weird?

I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean anything other than simply, we are weird. We just are who we are.

He hasn’t tried, or asked me, to change anything.

I groan and slam my head backwards into the headrest. I’m just going to ignore that moment of stupidity. I need to talk to him as soon as he comes out.

I stare at the door and wish I would’ve just gone in with him.

The door pulls inward and Seth emerges with a duffle bag in hand. He jogs to the car and turns the radio on after depositing his bag on the backseat.

The music isn’t so loud it hurts your head, but it’s loud enough to indicate there will be no talking.

We arrive at my house quick enough and walk silently to the porch. Just before the porch steps, he drops our bags on the ground, grabs my hand and tugs me around the side of the house. We walk down to the lake and sit on the bank, silently.

I’m ashamed with myself. I did this. My stupid brain creates messes on its own. I keep my eyes fixated on the water and wait.

After a few minutes, he sighs. “Jazzy, look at me,” he pleads. I raise my eyes to meet his. “Are you mad at me?” he asks, and scrutinizes my face.

I shake my head, “No.”

“Did I do something wrong?”

I slouch and let my shoulders sag. “No,” I answer honestly. By the look on his face, my reaction earlier affected him. I miss seeing his confident smile.

“What happened? You’re trying to shut me out,” He shakes his head.

I open and shut my mouth a few times, unsure of how to start. “It was stupid,” I shift my gaze back to the water. “It was something you said, and I got lost in my head for a bit,” I chew my bottom lip.

“What was it? What did I say?”

I sigh. “You said Henry and I are weird,” I whisper.

He snorts. “It’s the truth,” I glance at him and see he looks confused. As soon as I notice his confusion, he suddenly has that light-bulb look. “You do know that even though I think you guys are weird, I wouldn’t want you to change your relationship with him. Is that what you’re worried about?”

I look down at our linked hands, ashamed. “I know it’s stupid, but in my defense, while you were in your house, at I made the decision to forget about it.” I glance towards his eyes again. “At first, I thought about how Leland’s ex said that about him and Mom,” I look out over the water with a scowl. “But the more I thought about it, the stupider I felt,” I shake my head and gaze into his crystal green eyes. “You’re not nasty, and you haven’t said anything that would make me think you wanted to distance Henry and me.
