Ch. 15 Implicated Reasoning

I really didn't know what to do about Jacey because as I sat through dinner thinking about how devastated I was. No matter what I felt though, when I looked to Thayne he made me smile. I mean, it got to the point where I was feeling so horrible that I could have sworn if you gave me a blade, my wrists would have been slashed.

"So Caleb, what play do you think we should do next?" Thayne's second beer just arrived and he seemed like he hadn't had any alcohol at all. He certainly built up a resistance since the last time he drank in front of me.

With a shrug I said, " I dunno...what did you have in mind?" I rested my cheek in my hand. Once I did so my elbow slipped off the table and I let out a screech that made the whole room stop and stare at me. I just glared and rubbed it. Certainly it didn't help it feel any better, but it helped satisfy me mentally.

Thayne couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, "You don't change do you?" he tilted his head and sat his cup down after it reached his lips. He leaned forward and smiled, "Hey..." he said hushed to me, "come to my house tonight... screw Jacey and ditch him." He nodded and pulled away, grabbing the cup and drinking from it again.

I couldn't help but laugh at what he was trying to do. I really wanted to go with him but I wanted to know what Jacey was up to more. I had to deject him this time, "Maybe next time, I really want to know why Jacey did this to me." Now that the memory was brought back I was forced to think about it. My mind became cluttered with the vision of what had taken place only a couple of hours ago. Stupid, stupid me! Could I really have been deceived so very easily? Am I really that gullible...?

My thoughts were then disrupted by Thayne and a giggling fit. He rested his chin in his hands. His fingers were interlaced and his elbows safely propped them all up. He gave me a smile I'd never seen on his face. It was almost genuine. I gave him a glare and crossed my arms on my chest, "What was that laugh for you dope?" I tilted my head and waited for him to respond.

He just giggled some more. He decided it was time to go...well I guess it was. I looked at the time and it was two o'clock in the morning. Yup, definitely time to go. As we slowly shuffled out the bright pizza place, something hit us like a ton of bricks. We both stopped and turned to each other. "Do you feel it to?" all of a sudden my chest felt like it was going to cave in...My stomach was almost nervous. We were standing on the curb, facing the car. Why didn't we move? Why didn't I move?

Thayne looked to me and nodded, "Is it kind of like your chest is compacted and your stomach feel like it's going to twist and turn?" he put his hand to his head and turned to face me. Once he did, the fluorescent light flickered and shut off. I found myself in that split second in Thayne's arms, scared for my life.

Thayne just smiled and opened the car door for me, sat me down and told me to buckle my seat belt. Once I did he sat in the car and started it up, "It just must have been the pizza...you're full and you stood up and-"I cut him off with a nod and a whisper.

"You know very well that's not what it is...." I looked over to him, desperate. He had showed me how nice he could be...how nice the world can be! It wasn't impossible for there to be one good guy in the whole big world... I had the urge to kiss him.

No! What am I thinking?!

I restrained myself the whole way home and tried to block his face out of my mind. I kept staring straight forward, watching the blurry snow fly towards the windshield and be quickly swept aside by the blades of the wipers. It seemed to make me flinch every single time it happened. The squeal of the blades made my heartbeat speed up. I swear I couldn't have lasted five more minutes in that car.

Thayne smiled and stopped the car in front of my small living place, went all the way around the car and opened my door for me, "Th-thanks..." I smiled and stepped out. Once the cold officially hit me, I shivered like mad. I smiled and cleared my throat trying to sound like I was okay. I gave him a hug, meant to be quick but he wouldn't let go. I chuckled and pushed him away, with that he giggled slightly and hooked some hair behind his ear, "See you on Monday..." he smiled and moved to get back in his car.

With a nod I complied and moved towards my steps. Once I was under the overhang I smiled and waved to him. I fished my keys out of my pockets and stuck them in the door, turned it the unlocked position but found... it was already. I took my key out and slowly opened the door. The house was dim, no lights were on. That was weird...usually there is one light on... Jacey and me agreed to keep it on....its so they could see their way to the bathroom. He frowned and dropped his keys in the small basket and shivered.

I started to get suspicious so I crept slowly towards the bedroom when I heard the door open and close. I whipped around and was suddenly met with the force of another body, "I can't leave you here....not all alone!" Thayne whispered and hugged me tightly.

"I'm not a lone...I'm sure Jacey's in there....get off of me, who said you could come in here?" at first I was mad, but once I saw his face, it made me smiled.

"Sorry...I know... I did...invite myself but..." he sighed and let go of me a little and waited for me to walk. At least I know he waited because I was feet in front of the door before I felt his hands run up my sides. I blushed and smiled shaking my head, " Oh stop it and go ho-." By that time, I don't really know how my hand opened the door, I don't know when my head turned over but as soon as I did, I wish I hadn't.

"...what...the..." I said as my eyes focused on what was happening behind the closed doors, the safety of the dark. I took a step back but stepped into Thayne. His mouth was gaping open. I look back to what was happening and felt like...I felt like screaming.

"Why's he here...why's he here with you?" Jacey asked as he moved from underneath the covers. He was naked...stark naked.

"Why's he here with you in MY bed?" I felt furious...my blood was pumping and my face was probably bright red, I took a step into my room but Thayne held my arm back.

Jacey just smirked, "What... you act like this is unexpected..." he said sarcastically, apparently my face was still looking like I was in shock.

I took another step forward and felt tears slip my grip, my defense was falling. "I HATE YOU GET OUT!" I screamed and pushed Thayne out of the way, grabbed Jacey by the wrist and started to lead him out of my room. Too bad Kodi emerged from the bed and grabbed Jacey back, "You ignorant fool! This was your own fault!"

I snapped back in surprise and let go of his wrist to smack Kodi, "Excuse me?! How is this fault...he was my boyfriend...mine! The only thing I had...and ....and... You stole him from me!" I felt like I was throwing a tempter tantrum. We'd only really been together for a couple of months...only... I couldn't have done anything...wrong.

"Oh yea? Well what about your late nights at the theatre with that one...huh? Are you two 'Acting'...yea right?" Kodi defended Jacey who just stood there and smiled, he had the nerve to smile.

If it was so damned hard on him, "If it was so dammed hard on you Jacey..." I turned to him and glared, "Why didn't you come to me? Why did you think that you..." I faded off; I didn't know what to say.

He smiled still and said, "I dunno, I thought it would be fun...to manipulate you..." with that he moved and put on some clothes, so did Kodi. They both packed his stuff and started to leave. "Oh, by the way... I never wanted you as my boyfriend...I was already going out with Kodi...he though I'd be funny too..." with that and an evil glare they walked off...and out of my life.

That was the last time... I ever wanted to see his ugly face. I dropped to my knees and curled up into the tightest ball I could and cried. Thayne knelt down and wrapped his arms around me. Again I felt instant comfort and dug my face into his chest as much and as hard as I could, "I'm so stupid...blind, I knew he was too good for me...he'd...never... I..." I couldn't speak...so I stopped.

Thayne just shook his head in dismay and hugged me tighter, "Shh, it's okay... I know it hurts..." he kissed the top of my head several times... All I remember for the rest of that night is falling asleep in warm arms after having my heart so very broken.

I guess...Jacey created a new kind of relationship...Sarcastic Love.
