Gabe stared at him, his arm around Summer protectively. Jade looked up at me in confusion, then rolled her eyes.
“Just message me on Facebook. I’ll probably see you there, anyway,” she said as JT glared at me before moving away.
“You sure will, baby,” JT said suggestively, winking at her before turning his attention back to me. “Fuck you, Fallon.”
“JT, just quit it already,” groaned Summer, as I pinned Jade with my gaze.
Summer and Gabe exchanged a glance before whispering to each other.
“It’s rude to whisper,” Jade snapped as we stood awkwardly, watching Summer and Gabe kiss, oblivious to us.
“So. JT.” I folded my arms as her eyes met mine.
She shrugged. “And?”
“He’s a completedick. What thefuck?”
Jade stood up then, walking close to me. She leaned forward, her breath on my ear as she whispered, “Buthewilldistract me, unlikeyou.” She pushed past me as my stomach twisted with rage. I grabbed her arm as she turned back to me in bewilderment.
“You’re better than that. Stop flaunting yourself around like some sort of hussy. It won’t make the pain go away,” I growled as her deep brown eyes locked on mine.
Her lips parted as she raised her eyebrows. “You had your chance. Don’t get jealous now.”
“Uh, guys, shall we go?” Gabe suggested as he ran his hand through his hair, sending me a questioning glance. I gritted my teeth when Jade walked away, attracting approving glances. I saw JT call her over, and he smirked at me as he hung his arm around her. I felt like my veins were on fire when Gabe touched my arm.
“Let it go.”
I stood, arms folded as I watched him tip her head back, kissing her greedily.
“Caleb,” Summer was pulling at me now, pleading with me to move.
My eyes twitched as I watched them, unable to take my eyes off them. My mouth was dry, my heart aching like fuck in my chest. The pain was real.
JT’s fingers gripped the curve of her ass, and bile rose in my throat, my body trembling as I tried to compose myself.
The feeling I had was pure envy, nothing more, nothing less. Jade had never been withanyonein our school, and here she was dry fucking the biggestcuntof them all. After what seemed like forever, she pulled away, her eyes meeting mine as I stared at her, my jaw tightening as she looked away. I watched him walk her to her car, his hand possessively around her waist.
“Caleb?”
I turned, meeting Summer’s concerned eyes.
“Hmm?”
“I’m sorry. I know you’ve always liked her... Jade’s just hurting. She’s not herself,” Summer babbled.
I shrugged and headed towards my car.
“I hope she knows what she’s doing,” I muttered, sliding into the driver’s seat, starting the engine, and revving it aggressively.
Fucking JT.
I wanted to gut him like a fucking fish, but I realized that it wouldn’t solve fuck all. But itwouldmake me feel better.
Jade was around my house more often lately, and we avoided each other at all costs. I refused to even look at her, knowing if I did, I’d start an argument with her to which I had no grounds to.
I was in the garage, working out when Dad walked in, stretching as he nodded at me.
“So, Jade’s a pretty girl. Single now, isn’t she?”
