Chapter 239: Fall Ball, Part 1

For the next two weeks, I didn't go out with Jax or Trent. Nor did I kiss either of them. I'd talk to them in school and on the phone at night, but that was it. I refused to keep bouncing between the two of them, because doing so only confused me more.

I hadn't been able to stop thinking about the night I'd spent with Trent. We didn't talk - all he did was hold me as I slept, and the following morning, he thanked me. I had hoped he'd say more, but he hadn't. Longing to be with Trent like that again outweighed all the lingering guilt I still carried around with me.

I wasn't dreaming about Jax like I used to, but I did miss him. I missed the way he'd read my aura and tease me, the way his eyelids would lower slightly right before he kissed me, the way his arms felt around me.
