CHAPTER 12

Phoebe's POV

"Now dad thinks I'm dating Justin Bieber"I said to Zayn,he laughed

"Tell him it's Jax Bowen,not Justin Bieber"he stopped laughing

"No,no,not yet"I said

"Hm okay"he concured

"Okay, hmm I'm famished,you bought food right?"he asked as I packed my hair

"Can't you eat the cafeteria food?"I asked smiling

"Neh,not tasty"he said as I laughed

"You're bully me yunno,imma tell jax"I pouted as he took away my food from me

"You want jax to hit me?"Zayn laughed as he ate

"Of course, he's a good fighter"I hyped him even if I had no idea if he knows how to fight or not

"Well the only time you can see Jax fighting crazily is when he is freaking mad and you know,your boo hardly gets mad,he doesn't get mad at petty things unless if it really hurt him"Zayn said as he rushed the food

"Seems you know him more than I do"I said

"Think so,if you get the chance to see jax's back,he has a slash scar there,but he tattoed it to a letter J,so it doesn't really look obvious that it's a scar"he said

"How did he get it"I asked

"A day like this, during bounce back, before he got transferred,he got in a fight with a guy from another school, during the fight,he got injured"he explained

"Ouch,that hurts"I felt pity

"Plus,I wouldn't be staying with you today, I'm going for bounce back"he said

"Why?"I asked frowning

"I can't remember when last I went, please just let me go this time,Jax would be with you,I doubt if he's going to go"he said

"I wouldn't let him,so he wouldn't be injured"I said,Zayn laughed

"Boss lady"he mocked

"Whatever"I rolled my eyes

"Argh,where are you Jax"I asked rhetorically

"I'm here"definitely it was Jax,I turned to him

"Oh Jax,I missed you!"Emma shouted as she went over to hug him,wah?like seriously

"Chill"Zayn whispered to me,then she pulled away

"Do I really have to do this because of you Emma"Jax said as he pulled off his jacket, leaving him with his hood and black inner

"Woahh"the class chorused

"I think someone stink in here"Tony said mockingly from his seat referring to Emma,I laughed hard,she hissed as she walked back to her seat

"Hey babe"he greeted smiling,I noticed his dimples

"Hey"I blushed as I stood up to hug him

"You're not gonna pull off your hood,are you?"I whispered still hugging me,he chuckled

"You want me to?"he whispered back

"No"I hugged him tight,he chuckled

"I love you,I wouldn't want to do that"he said 

"Hey,hello! someone's here"Zayn said as we pulled away,I smiled sitting down back

"So how is today bounce back gonna be, I'm anticipating"Jax asked

"Well Jax,your small mum in command says she wouldn't let you go"Zayn smirked,I hit him

"She needs attention"he added,I hit him again

"Will you let me talk"I whispered to him

"Why?"Jax asked

"Maybe we could talk this outside,Zayn is frustrating"I said as I held his hands and walkfully pulled him outside

"Cause I don't want you getting injured"I said still holding his hands

"You want me here with you right?"he said as he placed his hands on my cheeks

"Not exactly Jax,you know what i mean"I said

"It's okay"he said and hugged me

"I know you'd be bored,try to cheer up okay"he cheered me up

"You're still gonna go right?"I pouted asking

"I'd fine okay,you don't have to worry too much babe"he pecked me on my forehead

"Okay!we all ready"it was Samuel's voice,we pulled away

"Okay babe,I have to go, don't miss me too much,I love you"he said and walked away with the guys,I frowned disappointedly as I walked back to the class

"I wonder what's hindering the mask girl from going with us"lucy smirked as she walked out with her friends

"Tch,jerk"I hissed as I sat down packing my books,few seconds later,as I head to the library,Jax call came in,I changed course as I decided to go outside receiving fresh air

"Hey babe,I miss you so muchhh"he said babyishly,I giggled,so fast?

"I miss you too Jax"I smiled 

"Phoebe tell jax not to flirt with girls around"it was zayn's voice

"Ouch Jax,just joking"Zayn complained,I think Jax notched him,I laughed

"I'm not gonna do any of that babe"Jax assured me

"I love you too much"he said,I smiled

"I.."I wasn't done talking when. I perceived a strong smoke,I coughed

"Are you okay?"he asked,then I quickly hung up,I coughed harder as I searched for my pills,I quickly took it as I ran back inside,it's sustained me a little,I was relieved,I coughed lightly as I went to the library,Jax call came up as I had my seat in the library,I refuse to pick it cause I knew he was gonna ask questions,he kept calling,I was tired then I switched off my phone,I got sleepy then decided to rest

HOURS LATER...

I woke up, seeing I slept for 3 hours,woah,that's long,I switched on my phone and the first call that came in was zayn's,I picked it

"Have you seen Jax?"he asked

"No,why?"I asked

"He has been brought to school for some minutes now,he was severely injured on his back and hand"I jerked up

"Uh"I was scared and surprise

"I'd go see him now,thanks"I said and hung up,I quickly ran to where I knew he would be.

When I finally saw him,I found myself crying.the nurse was helping him clean up and making bandage to his body,I see cuts everywhere,even on his lips,he refuse to listen to me, now see what he got himself into

"Jax"I called to him lowly,as I walked in,he looked up at me,he looked upset

"Hm, I'll continue"I said to the nurse,then she walked out,I gently packed the bandage up and continued as I silently sob,there was a silent

"I'm sorry"he broke the sileni

"...you don't have to be"I said lowly

"Please,stop crying,I beg you"he pleaded,I stopped doing what I was doing and sobbed the more,he held my hands and sat me down

"Babe"he called to me

"I told you not to go,but you wouldn't listen"my voice broke

"Yeah I know, I'm sorry, I'd be fine,trust me"he hugged me for some time and pulled away,I stopped crying

"I guess I'd listen to you henceforth"he said scratching the back of his head

"You should"I told him as I continued,then I notice the scar Zayn talked about,I touched it

"Does it hurt"I asked,he knew exactly what I was talking about

"A little"he answered

"Sorry babe"I said as I was done bandaging it

"Yeah"he said,then I sat beside him,he looked at me

"Why did you hang up on me and refuse to pick my calls?"he asked

"Um,well"I stammered

"Babe please,you know I love you right?,I really do love you,you know that right?"he asked sincerely,I nodded

"I need to hear the truth"he added,I was gonna lie again,I coughed out

"Well,you were distracting"I closed my eyes as I talked then opened it back

"That's a lie"he said

"Uh"I said

"You coughed,when you were about to reply me and then when I asked,if you were okay,you hung up"he said,oh jeez,what am I gonna say 

'hm,well,I choked up while talking to you cause,cause I was eating,so I decided to switch off my phone,so you wouldn't distract me,sorry I didn't call back,I forgot"I lied,I wasn't happy I lied tho.

"Okay,you feel pains?"she asked

"A little"I said,then she started to sobb,yish!she's just too emotional

"Mum"I turned to her and held her hands

"I'll be fine,okay"I assured her

"You don't need to bother about me"I cleaned away her tears,she stopped

"Mum come on"I said and hugged her

"If you don't smile,I wouldn't eat dinner"I said as I pulled away,she smiled

"Good,let's go eat"I said as I stood up,wore on my t-shirt,then we both walked downstairs meeting lucy already eating

"Tsk,so spoilt"I said as I hit her really hard on her head then sat down,she hissed,we started to eat

"I saw your girlfriend earlier today before going to bounce back"lucy said as she sat

"What about her"I asked

"Jeez,is something wrong with her or what? outside was kind of smoky,so when she came it,she waited for some seconds talking to someone on the phone, suddenly she started coughing and then ran back in"she said, definitely she had attack

"Is she by change ASTHMATIC or she's possessed?"Lucy laughed, I was boiling

"Well,I hope not,who is gonna date that kinda girl anyway"she chuckled

"Lucy"mum warned

"She's just a slut,it suits her well"she said and hissed,that's it!

"Lucy say that one more time and see the magic I'd perform on you"I said angrily,i stood up to see if she'd utter a word,i got mad and was about to go upstairs,I walked back to the dinning

"Next time you say anything offensive about her again?at my presence,you wouldn't live to see the next day,trust me"I said and walked to my room

"Darn it!"I said as I jammed the door and climbed my bed,I really got pissed,so pissed and can't help but feel sad about Phoebe not telling me the truth herself

"Phoebe please,just tell me the truth,wanna hear it from you"I said as I covered my face with my hands upsetly.
