“Come on,” I looked at Jinxx’s outstretched hand, puzzled as to what he meant by the offer. I placed my hand in his and stood carefully next to him. “Are you hungry?” He questioned me. I shook my head and bit my bottom lip. “Well, we’ll figure something out.” He gave me a small, sympathetic smile. I nodded slightly and dropped his hand, tucking it into the front pocket of my sweatshirt. He walked toward the door that led out into the hallway, where CC and I had our incident earlier. The door swung open, revealing an empty hallway. “Am I a pansy now? Huh?!” The oxygen in lung escaped my lungs and out my mouth as I stared into the hallway. My face instantly started to throb in the areas that CC made contact with. The look in his eyes was absolutely terrifying. They weren’t the comforting, warm hazel eyes that I loved. They were a dark shade of brown, but they looked like something was clouding them; that there was something bigger bottled up inside of him other than what was happening. He wasn’t the one I opened up to, the one I spent countless hours talking to or hugging. He wasn’t my crazy, fun, excited, energy filled CC. He wasn’t the little Christian I grew up with, the person that I used to have mud fights or water wars with. He wasn’t the boy who shared my love for literature with. The man I truly loved disappeared from sight when he set eyes on Tucker.
-One Hour Later-
I was seated at window seat at a local coffee shop with Jinxx. My hands were wrapped tightly around my coffee cup as I stared down at the table. Jinxx was babbling on about a poet and how he found inspiration for his work; a conversation I would usually be active in, but I couldn’t focus on anything right now. I was too lost in my thoughts.

“Annah,” I heard Jinxx’s voice in a distance. I tilted my head up slightly, keeping my eyes down at the table. “, Juliet’s having a baby girl soon.” I nodded, turning my attention to things beyond the window. “Annah, look at me.” He said with a hint of force in his tone. I lazily connected gazes with him, raising my eyebrows. “Talk to me, you can trust me.” I sighed and started to pick at the skin around my fingers. I remained silent for a few more minutes before Jinxx turned his attention to his phone. His fingers rhythmically tapped on it before he turned back to me. “Andy and Juliet are going to be here in a few minutes. I need to run back to the studio and do a couple recordings for the ‘Black Box’ we’re selling.” Andy? Greaaat. That’s exactly what I need right now, I need another person who hates my entire being. Jinxx reached out and touched my hand. “I know he isn’t your favorite person, neither you for him, but be nice. Juliet will keep him calm. Let me see your phone.” He opened his hand palm up as I set my phone into his hand. He typed as fast as he could and set it in front of me. “If you need anything don’t hesitate to text me, okay?” He gave me a small smile and stood. “Come here,” He opened his arms slightly. I bit my lip and stood, giving him a hug. He wrapped his arms around me and squeezed my torso slightly. “You’re not a bad person, love CC for who he is, not what he was.” He kissed the top of my head and released me. He started to walk out the door, flashing a quick smile in my direction before leaving.
