Dreams Don’t Lie — Episode 7

Jax moved his gloves. There was a tiny scratch on his lip. He punched me right in the face. It hurts. There was a hint of hurt in his voice. The whole room went quiet. Miles walked up next to me.

Since when is our boxing champ so fragile? I frowned at that. I couldn't help but defend Jax. It's not about being fragile. Scraps hurt like hell. Plus, he's bleeding. That kind of pain is normal.

Jax's eyes lit up with smugness. Yeah, I have a really low pain tolerance. His teammates were utterly confused. They thought, you box, but you're scared of pain?

I looked dead serious. Miles didn't argue back. A few seconds later, he asked me. Want to grab dinner after you're done? Yeah, sure.

Jax's smile vanished. He wore every guy in the club out. They all begged him to stop. He finally quit.

It's getting late. Dinner's on me. Let's welcome our new member. The whole club cheered wildly.

Miles and Jax both looked at me. They were waiting for my answer. Maybe some other time. Oh.

He put his shirt back on. I walked out with Miles. I heard someone ask Jax. Where are we eating, man?

All you care about is food. Go home and sleep. His teammates were utterly confused. Did you know Jax before this?

Miles asked once we were outside. All kinds of inappropriate images flooded my mind again. No, we just met. I've known Jax for two years. He treats you very differently.

Really? Maybe we just click. Miles didn't push it. We walked in silence. I had imagined this reunion for years, but I never thought it would be this awkward. Besides Jax, I couldn't find anything else to say.

I was almost back at my dorm. Miles grabbed my arm. The year I graduated, did you come find me? I didn't say anything. He waited a long time to speak. I'm sorry.

our story was totally cliche we're just classic childhood friends miles was two years older he
