Tutoring The QuarterBack

Chapter 24 Family Matters

For the last 2 days I have been helping Jax and he has been doing good I really believe he will pass.

It has been every minute studying . We even eat lunch but still studying .

Now it is the last night and we are about to leave .

" Thank you so much again " Jax says
He has thanked me so many times

" It is fine and this time tomorrow you will be on the filed " I answer

" You are always so sure of my success " he says
I smile and laugh

" Well Jax that is the only thing you are not confident so I guess I will have to be " I state

He Laughs at me.
I gather my things.

" Let me drive you home" he pleads

" My mother is waiting ." I tell him

He nods and gives me a smile but I see something sad in his eyes .

I been home for about 2 hours .
I am just relaxing watching and old episode of friends when my phone rings .
I see it is Jax he barely ever calls or he barely ever texts.
Only when he wants to know what time to study or something like that or when he wanted to know how my date with Dean was going .

I get a little nervous but I have to know what he wants

" Hello " I answer

" Hey" he says
His voice sounds dry

" What is wrong " I ask I can hear him breathe

" I am just having a like anxiety attack , I am not gonna pass , I don't know what I can do my dreams everything is it is just over " he says
And I am not for sure but I think he maybe crying

" I am coming over send. Me your address " I tell him

I realize I never been to his house we always study at mine or in school . My parents wanted me to study in our house that is why we mostly done the studying in there .

I don't know why I want to go over and see him , I feel as though he needs me to talk to him.
If his mind ain't in the right place he won't pass tomorrow.

When I get there he answers the door with his hair a mess and his shirt is dirty he is a mess but he still looks cute he is a hot mess .

" Thanks for coming I just don't know " he says
I walk in
" Your house is beautiful " I say
He smiles and says " Thanks "

We walk into the living room .
We sit on the littlest couch

" So tell me what is going on " I beg

" I don't know I just I am scared I won't pass and then I won't be able to play and that is all I know I won't get a scholarship I will probably have to work I don't know delivering news paper for my. Whole life " he tells me

" I don't think that is still a thing anymore" I say
" I did that when I was a little boy " he admits

I picture a young boy Jax as a paper boy . I shake the thought from my head . But the smiles remains

" What" he asks
" nothing I just think you are being too hard on yourself " I tell him
And I do think that is true but that was not the he reasons why I was smiling , but I can't say it is because I picture as a cute little boy .

" Well it is even stress knowing I could be letting the whole school down. " he tells me

" yeah I get it , try being the tutor if you don't pass people are to blame me and be mad at me ." I tell him
