Chapter 24

??Don??t walk away from me.??

Jay tried to shove me aside, but I pushed back. When he tried again, we ended up in a scuffle. He and I had never had a physical fight before, yet here we were tussling with each other against the bedroom door. I don??t even know why I bothered. I was no match for him and we both knew it. He got me into a headlock and through clenched teeth said, ??Stop fighting with me!??

??Let me go!?? I snapped.

He shoved me aside, pushing me onto the bed, but I leaped back up and grabbed him from behind. When he broke free, my arm flew up and I smacked myself in the face with such force that blood gushed from my nose like a geyser. I cried out and sank to my knees in pain.
