He moved his head closer, positioning his mouth beside my ear and whispered softly. "I missed you, Mia."

I froze in my place for a moment that I felt my heart was going to soften and fall for his trap, but I immediately remembered his last words echo in my head. I felt his grasp loosen, so I took it as my chance and kicked him with my knee in his dick making him wince in pain. I used this opportunity and bolted out of the room.

But not before saying, "I am not weak anymore Jason. Nothing you do will affect me anymore. I am heartless now and don't you ever forget this." I spat with a blank face my heart full of anger, hatred, and disgust towards him.

Those brats that are his friends were guarding the door from the outside. when I got out, They sent me confused glares but I stood my ground and growled at them as a warning to try and stop me. Adrian raised his hands in surrender while Rick was moving towards me his eyes filled with hate probably after what I have done to his pretty face but Ben stopped him clearing the way for me to pass through.

I stormed away from them feeling so angry and just want to smash anything.

I can't take another second, Staying in this fucking place.

So, I ordered an uber and went home.

I also texted Jane and Damon telling them that I went home.

Once I arrived, I changed into my workout clothes and headed to our private gym in our house.

We had so many rooms in this house as we bought a big one, so we turned one of them into a gym or more like training room that held running machines, boxing bags and all kind of things we need to work out.

I was so damn furious that I kept punching the boxing bag harder with each punch.

Who does he think himself?

Why can't he stay the hell away from me?

And did he think that I would be falling for his trap?

Not anymore!

Not because he got more handsome and his body got stronger and attractive with more muscles means that I would fall for him like all the pathetic bitches.

Yes, I had a crush on him but that was in the past.

Now all I feel towards him is hatred and anger.

I can't forgive him!

Even if he gets more attractive than he already is, I would never forgive him.

His words are still haunting me, echoing in my head. Not leaving me the hell alone, as it was a frequent reminder of his betrayal.

I hate him.

I fucking hate him.

I felt like crying but I promised myself that I would never cry again especially on him.

So, I kept punching and punching and punching till I couldn't feel my muscles anymore.

I want to smash his damn head in a wall and break his skull.

I want to fire a fucking bullet in his cold heart.

I want to do so many bad things to him.

I want to see him hurt so much and bleeding that he will die a slow, yet painful death.

I was panting so hard by now, sweat covering every inch of my body. So, I went to take a shower to relax my body and mind.

Showers always made me feel better.

After the shower, I felt a little bit better. So, I decided to bring my motorcycle and take a very fast ride in the relaxing weather.

₩₩₩

I kept driving through the empty roads not knowing where I was heading to or having a specific destination in mind.

All I thought about was the relaxing feeling that I felt when the wind blew my hair.

I kept roaming the streets for what felt like forever that I didn't notice that we were already at night.

So, I thought of going to my favorite place in this damned city.

The beach.

It just gives me good vibes and relaxes my soul.

I soon arrived and laid on the sand closing my eyes while hearing the crashing waves of the sea and the beautiful sensation that I felt hitting my face from the wind.

I felt so relaxed and happy.

"I didn't think that I would find you here." A voice cut off my relaxing state. As an instinct, my guard was up again.

I snapped my eyes open to see a large figure sitting beside me with a soft smile, looking at the sea.

All the anger that I felt before now came crawling back to me after seeing his damn face.

I quickly straightened, sitting properly in my place.

"What are you doing here? Did you fucking follow me?" I asked through gritted teeth.

He turned his head to face me with soft eyes that held a foreign emotion which I didn't understand and decided to ignore it. "I always come here to think."

"I will leave then," I said standing up my voice held no feelings.

"It used to be our spot." Jason's voice stopped me as he was giving me his hack, still watching the sea.

I stayed silent not knowing if I should say something or just leave.

However,..

I decided to leave.

Its better that way.

I turned around ready to move when I heard him again. "When we used to have stressful days or any one of us felt down we would always come here alone. It always made us relax and pour our hearts out to each other." He paused for a moment then continued." It was our thing."

I felt sadness fill my heart remembering those days.

But I blocked them immediately, not wanting to bring them back and feel weak again.

Yes, those were good days. Those were the days when he was my kind and caring Jason and I was the happy naive Mia. But after what he did, after what he allowed others to do for me, and after they all broke and used me, those days were like a curse for me, they all were fake.

"As you said 'was' as in past tense. It's all in the past with the old weak, navie Mia that stayed in the past as well and will never come back cause I won't allow it." And then I left not able to stay any other moment within his presence.

Why does he talk about the past?

Why is he like that with me?

I hate him for what he did and for confusing me now as well.

₩₩₩

I arrived home feeling tired and sleepy as fuck.

As soon as I opened the door I found a weight being thrown on me.

"Fucking hell Mia! You scared us to death. Where were you!?" Jane was crushing me in a very tight embrace.

"You.. a..are killing me. C..can't b..breath." I stuttered trying to free myself of her embrace. This girl really has hella strong arms.

"Uh sorry.." she let go of me after realizing how hard and tight her hug was.

I always noticed that Jane has very strong arms for a cute and tiny girl like her. Perks of being a gang member I guess.

Not the time now.

Damon came and stood beside Jane now both facing me angry mixed with worried looks on their faces.

"Where the fuck were you, Mia? Why didn't you answer our calls?" Damon said as he nudged the side of my head gently.

"Why didn't you answer any of our calls or texts? For crying out loud we thought something happened to you!" Jane yelled at me while punching my arm gently.

But it still hurts.

The girl has strong arms I told you.

"Ahh, it hurts bitch!" I said trying to avoid their questions.

"Don't change the subject, Mia. Now tell us what happened at school." Damon ordered giving me one of his strict glares. That implied you are not getting away with it missy.

"Fine fine just calm your shit guys!"

₩₩₩

I told them everything that happened at school and till this moment.

"That mother fucker I will fucking pu--" Damon spoke, ready to kill.

"Calm down Damon I already took care of it". I assured.

"I know but we have to put an end for his shits now."

"Damon is right Mia. It's already the second day at school and he wouldn't leave you the hell alone." Jane agreed.

"I know guys but you know we have to keep it low and we aren't doing a good job at it, by the way, so we will have just to ignore and avoid them as much as possible," I said tiredly.

"Fine but if it got out of hand like in your past then we won't stay quiet," Damon instructed.

"Deal." I yawned. "Can I go to sleep now? I am really tired"

₩₩₩

Two weeks passed and Nothing happened again since the second day at school.

It was strange, to be honest.

I mean I am glad that it was all good now because as Damon said we wouldn't have let it pass if anything occurred again.

Jason and his gang kept giving us weird and warning glares each time our paths crossed but we brushed them off.

And Sandra kept giving me these disgusting and hate glances. I don't know what's this bitch's problem but whatever. As long as she stays away from us she can look at me however she pleases.

And for Jasmine, she has been hanging out with us. She is so close to us now that we tell each other everything but we still didn't tell her about the gang part. It's for her own safety.

I used to think that I didn't trust anyone anymore but I guess that I only trust those three and they proved me so many times that I can do. However, I won't trust anyone else, they are enough for me. I still don't talk about my feelings with anyone or pour my heart out to anyone like before. It just makes me feel weak and I don't like to feel weak.I am happy the way I am.

Jass never went for the popular's company that she has been with for the past years that I wasn't here for her.

And she ignored their talks and Sandra's glares that implied to stay away from me or she would be their enemy like me. However, Jass still didn't give a shit.

Still, the brave and kind Jass that I knew and I am glad that she didn't change.

At least one of us didn't.

We were now standing at the parking lot waiting for Jasmine to come out from the bathroom as it was the weekend and we decided to go to a night club and get ready at our house so Jass is joining us.

Jason and his friends were standing at their car beside us glancing at us every second.

I really got sick of their behavior.

I came today with my motorcycle as I came late in lunchtime, not from the beginning of the day with Jane and Damon. I just didn't feel like going to school that early today.

"Where is she? We still have to eat and do so many other stuff" Jane complained.

"I don't know she took so much time, it's not like her." I said really worried something happened to her and it brings so many unwanted memories to me so I decided to look for her, myself."I will go check on her."

That until I saw Jasmine running out of the school sobbing hardly her hair messy as hell with her cheerleader clothes have cuts that made so much of skin appear. She was hiding her bra with a hand and the other holding the skirt with it from falling making all the students who were standing look at her.

The fucker who did this to her will pay so damn much.

I immediately ran towards her and wrapped my arms around her shivering body, With Damon and Jane following me. Damon took off his large jacket covering Jasmine's body but it wasn't enough, her bare legs and shattered skirt were still appearing that made her feel uncomfortable.

Jane and I weren't wearing any jackets so we couldn't help her.

But then Adrian came wrapping his hoodie around her waist covering her bare legs making it look like a long skirt.

I felt someone's presence behind me but I didn't give a damn to check who was it now.

My priority was Jasmine and destroy whoever made her like that.

"Jass what happened and who did this to you?" I asked, holding her shoulders.

She kept sobbing more not able to talk.

I then heard Jason speak anger obvious in his voice. "Jasmine who the hell did this to you?"

So, he is the one who came and stood behind me.

But I still didn't bother to look behind me.

"Jass talk to me." I told her softly.

"S..Sandra and her friends c..cornered m..me in the b..bathroom a..and.."

Jane was holding her as she patted her back, saying " it's okay Jass, you don't have to continue"

Adrian was looking at her sadly. He looked worried as he held her hand tightly. That's when I saw Sandra with her two minions standing at the front doors smirking proudly.

That bitch!

I felt like my blood was boiling I wanted to hit her so bad.

I wanted to fucking kill her!

How dare she does something like that to Jass? The kindest person that I have ever met.

I stormed to her blocking anything else except my own demons.

When I reached her, I wasted no time and threw a punch at her face with all my power. " you bitch!" I yelled at her.

She fell to the ground her minions backed away from her.

While she was trying to stand up I pulled her by her shirt and forced her to stand up making her face me.

"You damn freak! Are you crazy? let go of me!!" She yelled struggling to get out of my hold.

"How dare you? How dare you do something like that for her?" I threw another punch, making her fall again this time blood dripped out of her nose and mouth.

"I will fucking kill you without hesitation right now. You damn slut." I said while raising my hand to punch her again but then a strong hand gripped me forcing me to stop.

"That's enough Mia, she learned her lesson." Jason said while pulling me away.

But I refused to go anywhere else before ending this bitch's life."No, and get the hell away from me" I yelled pulling my hand out of his strong grip.

I turned to punch her again but this time I felt someone grabbing me by the waist carrying me away from her. "Mia you will fucking get in big trouble," Jason told me with concern lacing his voice while still carrying me away towards our cars until we reached Jass and the others.

"Mia, he is right. Let's just take Jass home." Damon told me as Jane and Adrian took Jass to Damon's car, Jane getting in with her.

"Fine just this time. But if anything else happened to Jass again I swear to god I w--"

"I will take care of it if that happened again," Jason said bringing my attention to him as I noticed that his hands were still on my waist.

"No thanks we can take care of it ourselves." I shoved his hands off me.

Then Adrian came beside Damon. " Jason I will go with her. I have to make sure she is okay." Adrian said sadly worry laced in his eyes.

"Okay, we all will go. Where are you taking her?" Jason asked looking at me.

"To our house and you are not welcome there." I spat.

Jason sighted frustrated "don't forget she is still my cousin."

"Yeah but she doesn't consider you that anymore," I said bluntly, Making his eyes soften reflecting the guilt and sadness he felt.

Adrian then spoke." please Mia, i.. I just have to make sure she is okay and then we will leave." Adrian pleaded as he was on the verge of crying.

"Mia it's okay.. they care about her as well," Damon said. "follow us!" Then he went to his car.

"Just because Jass really cares about you both as well, even if she is hurting from you." I pointed an accusing finger at them making them both feel guilty and sad and that's what I was aiming for. They should know how much she suffered because of them.

I headed to my motorcycle leaving after Damon with the guys' car after us.

Everything was really going smoothly and quiet.

Or that's what I thought.

It was like the calm before the storm.

As so many things came crashing after Jasmine's incident.
