Aria POV
Jackson’s at a loss for words, which is rare for him. Jacksin always has some stupid bullshit to say, and I’m impressed that Darren’s somehow managed to render him speechless. I lean into his touch, feeling confused but also slightly satisfied.
“Whatever,” Jackson says as he begins to take his leave. “Just goes to show you’ll get with anyone who pays the slightest attention to you, right?” The remark hurts, and I feel Darren stiffen from his spot next to me.
“Choose your next words very carefully.” Darren practically growls. Jackson seems actually taken aback, but he plays it off with a simple rolling of his eyes.
“Whenever you want to stop being a w***e, you know where to find me.” He gives me one last longing look before he leaves, trudging down the stairs.
