Ch. 26: No Goodbyes

JACE POV

I just about lost control with Ella. I can never do that with her, especially after what happened to her. I’m glad I was able to come to my senses before it was too late, but I can no longer be around her at the moment. I need to go back to my training, get it all hammered into my head again, because it’s been too long. Once I’ve taken the three-week refresher course, then I will allow myself to pursue my girl again, but not until then.

I had texted Jude while I waited for Ella to dress. He went ahead and made the arrangement for me to go stay at the facility for the three weeks, that way I wouldn’t be tempted to go see her. I still go to school, but then straight back to the dorms they have over there. My parents think I’m house sitting for a friend who went on vacation, so they don’t flip shit when I don’t come home during the duration of the refresher course.

I feel bad for how I left things with Ella. I didn’t even acknowledge her when she told me she was sorry. Instea
