You knew Jax was a jerk and often didn’t like well… pretty much anyone, but around you? He was so much worse….

Everything he did was amplified; his pranks, the teasing and the nicknames. You don’t know if you did something to upset him or why he seemed to hate you so much. You did your best to avoid him, figuring that if maybe you weren’t around he wouldn’t be so eager to bother you.

Jax had noticed this of course and it only made everything he felt a thousand times worse. His feelings for you were already complicated as is but now—you just blatantly avoided him.

He didn’t mean for things to get so out of hand, like how he had tried to flirt only to chicken out and make fun of you instead. Or! Or- his pranks! He would always try to do something sweet for you but it felt so unnatural and foreign that he would end up doing something mean instead.

“Shi-“ he tried to curse, only for it to get bleeped out because of Caines automatic censorship. He was lying in bed thinking of you and just how badly he messed things up. He wanted to make things right with you—so he decided he would.
