Here we go again. Our big day was no less than a warning alarm for me, for the old Hailey. I wasn't able to digest even a small imprint of the past on my new sheet. It was the second time I was fighting with it; it was over my face. I had also embarrassed poor Emma and Alex; they weren't complaining, although I was "overactive" to them. I totally agree to it; I was just reactive, limiting to the little they knew of me. Thinking about Jack while unzipping my gown, I was looking into the mirror. My eyes had smudged mascara, and my eyes were in a mirage of Jack's glare, warmth ,scent and anger.
I wasn't blinking at all. I putted my hair back to a bun and back into a white tee and blue pajamas. I was very quiet today. I was not in a mood to stargaze or stay awake but to just lay down, lifeless. Emma changed her gown and sat beside me. My mother and father were constantly checking up on me as if they had a hint that something was wrong. We were in the college, and now they could not even think about the one percent of humans we become going there. My head had only questions and half answers. I wanted to open my quote book for once. Keeping my phone aside, I opened a random page 103, which said, الحب هو أقوى من الموت." (Al-hubb huwa aqwa min al-mawt.) "Love is stronger than death." It would mean so much to me; why not? Those tiptoes of fingers touching my cheeks and the rage to destroy any entity.
Jack was a charmer I had no doubt in that, but I was continuously reminding myself I wasn't that kind of girl. I wasn't.. I didn't want to be ever...once again. I wish he ever asked me if I wanted revenge. It was enough for today; we knew we were going to be called at the principal's desk tomorrow. I was wondering what could have been the situation at Harrisons.
Jack Harrison's pov:
I was convincing James. I was literally begging him when everyone was gone. We were just two at the gate, wondering who among us could tell dad before principal Xavier abied. "Xavier won't even think twice before resticating you." - James
"I know and I won't be able to apologize to the end; I lose my ego." - Jack Harrison
"Your ego is all that matters to you; what about dad Jack?"? ,Do you want him to snatch this name and title you brag about the most?" What about your expenses?" James Harrison
"So do you think all the people he advocates for are preists or pastors?"? . "Wonder if it could have happened with your girl." James Harrison
Your girl!!??? Which girl ?? , Hailey, is your girl ?? - James Harrison.
That's enough of you, James. It is none of your business the way you were eyeing Emma, pretending to be a very good boy. Discussing such matters with you is the worst choice ever. She isn't my girl, but a friend.
"Hailey is no less than a hot, mean girl." - James Harrison.
"What did you just say? (grabbing his collar).
"I repeat Hailey is a dainty boss.". "The only boss I would like to boss with" (smirks). -- Jack Harrison
"Jack, I find it confusing if I could refer to you as Jack or Jackass." James Harrison
I wasn't in a state to drive with that swollen jaw of mine; my mother was going to scold me already, but still, she will be the only person to hug me today. As soon as I entered my apartment. I was after James. James was trying to calm down the situation. My mom was home early for the second time in this year, and my dad was sitting on his favorite chair; his glasses were on; he was wearing a robe; his spectacles were off.
Eric Harrison (Jack's father)
His watch was lying on the table. My mother was sent to another bedroom. He made me sit next to him. He slowly patted his hand on my cheek, and the next moment he ran his hand towards my swollen jaw. He slapped me shackkkkk on the right side of my cheek. He was something ahead of me in anger. "Do you want me to order more license pistols for me? You never told me dessert eagle is your favorite one.".
