Jinxx POV
It had been a late night tonight, with two new girls on the bus, but if that’s what the guys want that’s what they get. Anyway, I had climbed into my bunk and checked my phone. I had six missed calls from Sammi. Even though we were already divorced, she still tried to call me and get me back. I honestly didn’t want her back. I had my eyes on someone else, and his name was Jake Pitts. All of a sudden, I hear a loud bang, followed by the shouting of CC’s name. Damn he is always in trouble. I climb out of my bunk to see what happened. Of course. CC was trying to fix a fucking light bulb. I swear, he’s like a child. But then I notice that Alex and Raven are totally skinny. Like… Really skinny. And they are both wearing long sleeves. It’s the summer. I’ll have to remember to ask them about it later.
“CC! Get down from there!” Jake yells. CC is probably drunk. Again. “CC if you get down I will give you a cookie!” he yells. CC quickly gets down and begins pestering him about his cookie. Jake just sighs and plops down on the couch. CC quickly gives up and goes back to Raven who is sitting, chatting with Alex. They just look so pale and skinny… Hmm…
I know Jake see’s it too. He can’t stop glancing at them. I pull out my phone and text him.
Jinxx: Dude, you see what I see right?
Jake: CC being stupid or the super skinny girls with long sleeves on in the middle of summer?
Jinxx: The girls. We need to talk to them.
Jake: Okay. I can talk to Alex. You talk to Raven.
Jinxx: Okay. And after, I want to talk to you.
Jake: Okay?????
I go over to Raven and pull her to the bunks. CC glares, but I just shake my head. He nods in understanding. I sit Raven down and simply say, “Why haven’t you eaten?” Immediately, she begins sobbing. I just pull her in. “Shh its okay Raven. It’s okay. But I need to know so I can help you recover.”
“I- I don’t eat be- because I’m fat.” She chokes out. “I- I don’t w-want to g-get to big.” She says. She just sobs harder. I don’t want to ask the next question or tell CC any of this, but I’m going to have to.
“Shhh Raven it is okay. Look. I only have one more question. Why are you wearing long sleeves?” I ask. In answer, she rolls her sleeves up to reveal an arm full of scars from both cuts and burns. I pull her close. “Please don’t do this anymore. You are so beautiful.” I tell her. She sobs into my arms for thirty minutes. Once she calms down, I let her go back to CC. Alex is already out there, talking to Andy. She has tears streaming down her face. CC shoots me a questioning look, and I just mouth “Later” to him. Jake walks over to me and motions to the back of the bunks.
“What happened with Raven?” he asks me. I tell him everything. “Alex said almost the exact same thing. But in different terms.” He looks sad. I just reach out and hug him.
“Jake… there is something I need to tell you.” I say. He wears a puzzled look on his face. “Jake… I like – no, not like, love – you.” I say, blushing. He looks shocked. Then happy. Then shocked again.
“Jinxx… I think I love you too. I just didn’t know how to tell you.” He says. He pulls me in for a kiss and he says “Jinxx, be mine.” I just nod and kiss him again. We walk out of the bunks hand in hand, and the guys stare at us. Alex and Raven immediately jump up in happiness.
“IT FINALLY HAPPENED!” They fangirl. Oh god. They ship us. They jump up and down, silently screaming and pointing. “OMFG” Raven screams at Alex. CC again shoots a look of warning. “Oops… 2 more minutes of fangirling over this?” He nods. “Aghhhhhhh! Alex!!!! It happened!” She jumps with her best friend.
“Glad your night ended well. But I think it’s time we all went to sleep.” I say. Everyone sighs and walks back to the bunks for a peaceful-ish night.

Notes

Soo it started off kinda sad, but ended good. Alex should be writing about what she and Jake talked about in the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed!!!
