I crossed my arms over my chest. “If I wanted Harley, I could easily have her. Trust me, she’d forget your name by the time I was done with her.”
“You mean like your mom forgot yours.”
I jerked back like he had punched me in the face.
“Shit, man.” He shook his head. “I didn’t mean that.”
“Yes, you did. Man up, you fuckin’ pussy.” With that, I rammed my shoulder into his before confidently striding my way to the bus.
Trying like hell to keep my shit together.
That hurt.
Hurt so bad, I found it hard to breathe.
Bringing back all the times my mom raged, yelling I wasn’t her son.
“I don’t know you!”
“I’m not your mother!”
“Get out of here!”
“Get away from me!”
“I hate you!”
“Jackson, it’s your stop!” the bus driver called out, making me realize I was lost in my own mind the entire ride home.
I nodded, getting off the bus with Jagger by my side.
“You alright?” he questioned, looking worried.
“Yeah. I’m fine.”
“You don’t look fine.”
I snapped, “I said I was fine.”
“Whoa.” He held his hands up. “I was just asking.”
I brushed him off, too pissed to apologize. As soon as we got home, Jagger was the first to walk in, followed by me slamming the door shut. The walls vibrated with the wrath I was feeling deep in my bones.
Livid from the turn of events. These emotions were playing with my head, and they were starting to give me whiplash.
I rushed into the kitchen, roughly throwing my backpack onto the island. Overhearing Journey’s wails rumbling out of her full force. Getting louder and louder from her nursery. If she didn’t stop soon, she was going to make herself sick.
I grabbed a water bottle from the fridge, taking it down in one long gulp. Dehydrated from the madness running through my veins.
“You mean like your mom forgot yours.”
“What’s up with you? Coming into the house and slamming the front door like that,” Skyler reprimanded, fueling the fire coursing in my blood. “Journey could have been sleeping.”
“I’d never hurt my baby sister.”
“Of course, you wouldn’t.” She grimaced. “Where is that coming from?”
Jagger intervened. “Jackson’s just being a dick.”
