Jaxon
I’m not sure what I expected when we came together tonight. Maybe a few more words, more arguing about how stupid this whole thing is. But it’s just the two of us, sitting in the quiet of Nina’s room, and I can feel the tension hanging between us. She’s not ready to forgive me. I know that. But right now, I don’t care. We’ve got bigger s**t to deal with.
“Jaxon.” Her voice is quiet, like she’s trying to keep everything in. I can tell she’s thinking a million things, but she won’t say any of it. She never does when she’s worried.
I turn to face her, shifting on the bed to face her fully. “What’s going on in that head of yours?”
She hesitates for a moment before looking me in the eye. “I’m scared. You know that, right?”
I nod slowly. “Yeah. I can tell. Hell, I’m scared too.”
