Jaxon

Look, I know that when you and another person come to an agreement that you two are supposed to keep a secret but I think that my best friend should be exempt from that especially when he already knows how much I like Elliot.

It is also not like Cassius would say anything to anyone either giving that what him and I have already went through together.

So I could not help but to tell him that I have finally, after all this time, got to kiss my crush.

He always said that he didn’t ever see that happening between us because Elliot is like this pretty cool guy and I am just me. Hell we never even spoken to each other before all of this so I can totally understand why Cass had no faith in me.

“You know you don’t have to lie to me to make yourself look cool Jax.” Wait what?

“No I am serious man, it finally happened.” He rolled his eyes and gave me the look that was saying to quit lying to him. I am a little hurt that he truly does not believe me about this.

Why would I have to make this up?

“Listen I get it, you like this guy. But there is no way in hell you kissed him, plus I thought Miles was a thing?” I couldn’t help but to roll my eyes at this guy because quite frankly he was being ridiculous.

Miles was just a pawn because I needed to see how Elliot would react to it and fortunately it worked in my favor.

“Cass, I am telling you, we kissed. Like I honestly have no idea how you want me to prove this to you.”

“So what, are you all gonna be official now and tell everyone?” He really isn’t going to believe me now once I say this.

“Well no, we aren’t. We have decided to keep this between us for now mostly because he doesn’t want me getting in trouble again.”

“That’s true, I see you are finally playing it safe this time. So when do I get to finally meet him Jax?” That is something that I don’t want to happen, I truly do not want them to meet for the simple fact that Cass doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut.

He will tell Elliot how much I have talked about him and how long I have had a crush on him and I just don’t need that negativity right now whatsoever in my life.

“If it’s up to me, never.”

“What the hell man? I thought we were better than that?” He acted like he was hurt but he wasn’t. He could probably care less about meeting Elliot, he just wants to make a scene.

“Listen you can meet him the day that you finally like someone and start talking about them and when you get with them so when you try to embarrass me I can do it right back at you. How does that sound?”

“Sounds like a bunch of bull shit if you ask me.”

“Well get over it. But in all seriousness though, please don’t say anything Cassius.” He gave me the look that said I was crazy.

“And take the chance of not being able to hang out with you anymore? Dude that was rough plus I am not going to put you through that.” Cass was a real one.

As I said before I know that Elliot and I said we wouldn’t tell anyone but I knew that I could trust Cass with this only because he wouldn’t dare to say anything to someone about this.

“So on a side note, what are you doing this weekend?” Miles had invited me to a party and of course I accepted but I asked Elliot if he was going and he said he was. 

If he wasn’t going I wouldn’t even consider it. But I need someone to go with me because I can’t go with Elliot by myself, it would look too suspicious of us. 

“Uh nothing like usual. Why?” I don’t even know why I asked if he had plans, it’s not like he has typical school work or anything since he is now home schooled. 

“Come to this party with me this weekend.” His eyes lit right up. 

“For real? You got invited to a party?”

“Yeah Miles invited me and Ell-“ Wait a whole second. Elliot is going to be there, I can not have Cass meet him, not yet. Dear Jesus I have completely screwed myself. 

Didn’t I just say that I was going to never let them meet? And here I am letting them meet because I am an idiot. 

“Wait Elliot is going to be there?” Damn it I didn’t save myself in time. 

“What? No, hell no he isn’t. I was going to say a person named Ellen had mentioned that it was going to be a lot of fun.” He wasn’t buying it at all, so right now I wasn’t just an idiot.

I was also very stupid. 

“So I get to meet Elliot sooner than I thought huh?” I hate myself so much right now. 

Elliot.

“Wait, so you are going to his party this weekend?” As much as I really don’t want to, yes I am going to Miles’ stupid party this weekend. 

Yes I am only going so that I can be with Jaxon but I am still so aggravated that Miles asked him to go in the first place, he has no place to be talking to him at all and I am going to need for him to stop that. 

“Uh, yeah. Unfortunately.”

“Why exactly? Because I already know you are going to drag me there with you, which I already fucking dread by the way.” Honestly neither one of us want to go. On a normal day, we would avoid Miles at all costs. 

“Jaxon is going.”

“Seriously? Jaxon is going? What are we going so that we can spy on him and make sure that Miles doesn’t touch him or something?” Shepley saying that almost made me want to get mad.

“No that is not why we are going. He asked me if I would go and I said yes. And maybe I might watch out for him because he doesn’t know these people.” Shepley rolled his eyes and threw his phone on my bed. 

“Damn it Elliot, one of us is gonna end up in a fight aren’t we? Because I am not gonna let anyone mess with the little guy.” Say what you want about Shep but he is always ready to look out for someone. 

He doesn’t exactly know about Jaxon and I but he knows that I do care about him in some sense so of course he is gonna back me up.

“Listen there is nothing more that I want than to just go to this party and leave as soon as I can without any issues. But I am not going to let anything happen to him Shep. He goes by himself no telling what will happen.”

“No shit man, people suck.” He couldn’t have said it any better. Him saying that though made me laugh because I wasn’t really expecting it. 

Even though I am going to be out in public with Jaxon and we can’t really be ‘together’ it really excites me that I just get to be with him. 

And a part of me wants to kind of show Miles that he has no chance with Jax while I am in the picture, hell if I can I want to make sure that he doesn’t even speak to him. 

I am sure that at some point in the night that people are gonna be pretty drunk so I might just slip in a few flirty touches or even a kiss or two if Miles is there.

Yeah I am an asshole but I don’t care. Sometimes you just gotta learn that you gotta back off.
