Chapter 57

JAX

So what did Jax do after Mila bolted out of her own dorm?

Here's what I did…

I went into her bedroom and dug through her panty drawer. Same for her bras too.

Then I went through her nightstand drawer, trying to find some sex toys.

Do you believe me?

Good. Don't.

Because here's what really happened to me…

The door shut and Mila was gone.

I stood there in a towel.

I had no idea what kind of emergency she was dealing with… the words life and death stuck in my head.

The first thing I did?

Get dressed.

Then I sat on the couch where we just had amazing sex and I waited.

Rubbing my jaw.

Worried about her.

Wondering just what was happening between Mila and me.

Knowing we were close… really close… so very close that…

Now I'm walking around her dorm. Present moment. Because sitting doesn't work for me. Waiting doesn't work either but there's nothing else I can do.

I have no idea where she is.

On campus? Off campus?

Did something happen to Violet? Or Mac?

My head is all kinds of twisted up…

My phone finally dings.

A text from Mila.

NEED YOU ASAP. Please don't be mad!

I lift an eyebrow.

Why in the world would I be mad at Mila?

Tell me where you are. I'm running out of your dorm right now.

That's true.

I'm out the door as I hit send.

I run down the hallway and out of the building.

As soon as I get outside, she texts me the address.

I know the general location…

It's not where Violet is. Nowhere near Mac either.

I'm really wondering what the hell I'm hurrying into.

I text her back.

ARE YOU SAFE?

What a horrible thing to have to ask.

She replies…

Just please hurry and please don't be mad at me.

That's not the response I want from Mila. Ever.

My heart is leaping from my chest into my throat and right back down.

I'm running across campus at full force.

It's hard for me to comprehend that just a short while ago I had Mila on top of me. Her sweet, warm pussy holding my cock tight. Sliding up and down, making me pump cum into her as she groaned and moaned and kissed me…

Now all of a sudden I'm entering a life-or-death situation?

I run to the building in question.

There's no flames or anything like that.

Which, if there was, she would have called for help…

As I get closer and closer, I text her…

HERE!

I open the main doors to the building.

She texts me.

Please hurry

I scramble down the hallway.

I look at my phone, scroll up, and make sure I have the right dorm room number before I open the door and rush inside.

Instantly I know I'm in a guy's dorm room.

And instantly I know…

"Why don't you love me anymore, you cunt?"

It's Ward's voice. Drunker than drunk could possibly be.

And he just called my girl a cunt…

I end up in his bedroom and see him on his knees, swaying left to right.

Mila is standing far away.

"This is why you called me?" I ask Mila.

"Oh, look at this fucking guy!" Ward says and points at me.

"Jax, I need your help with him," Mila says. "He's really messed up."

"Then call the police," I snap.

"Jax!" Mila yells. "Please…"

She's scared.

And I know somewhere in her head she blames herself.

She's that kind of person.

And Ward's the piece of shit kind of person who would do anything to make someone like Mila feel guilty.

"What is he on?" I ask. "Besides a shit ton of booze?"

"I don't know," she says. "He needs to… throw up…"

"Fuck," I sigh.

I crouch down and grab Ward by the shirt. "You listen to me, you fucking asshole. You fuck this up and bite me and I will twist your neck. Got it?"

"Man, why are you even here? Your father should have pulled out! You should have been a blow job!"

Ward throws his head back and opens his mouth wide and starts to cackle.

There's my chance to do this…

I can't believe what I'm about to do.

I slam my pointer and middle fingers into Ward's mouth and down into his throat as hard as I can.

He lets out a disgusting gagging sound and I quickly pull my fingers back.

I move out of the way just in time as a line of vomit shoots across the room.

Ward falls to his hands and gags, coughs, and pukes some more.

I stand there, pissed off, and I slowly look at Mila.

"Jax…" she whispers.

I get it.

I might have just saved Ward's life.

"Oh, fuck," Ward groans. "More…"

He jams his own fingers into his mouth and keeps throwing up.

I step closer to Mila and she grabs my arm.

"Jax, thank you," she whispers.

I nod.

I guess we all do crazy shit when it comes to love, huh?

Wait… what the fuck did I just think?
