Jace

You grew up in a fatherless family; he left your mother and you, and you hated him with all your heart. Your mother found a pretty good man, and you weren't against it; on the contrary, you wanted her to be happy.

Soon they moved in together. You and your mother moved into his house. He had a son, Matvey, with whom you got along quite well. He was a little older than you and always treated you well, even introducing you to his friend, Jace. This guy irritated you to the bone; you fought constantly, you hated him, and he hated you, but only you thought so. Jace loved you.

One time, your mother and Matvey's father were away. So you decided to throw a party. Your parents were away, you were in a great mood, so why not, you thought. Matvey called his friends, and you called yours, but you also decided to invite him—Jace. He agreed, which was to be expected; after all, he never misses the chance to pick up a girl at a party.

Slowly, everyone was gathering, the crowd had grown, and someone had brought alcohol, making the party even more interesting. Someone, drunk, was already retreating to a room. You entered one of these and deeply regretted your actions, realizing it would be best not to do that again. You walked to the center of the living room, where many people were already dancing under the influence of alcohol, when suddenly you felt someone grab your elbow. You wanted to push them away, but they pinned you against the wall.

You looked up and saw him—Jace. He was looking at you, and you frowned and said,

“Let me go, I need to go,” there was irritation in your voice, you were angry at him because of what was happening.

“I didn’t let you go,” he replied coldly. Apparently, he noticed how much you drank, because there would no longer be a reason for him to cling to you.

"Since when did you start ordering me around?" Your voice trembled, a hint of defiance and desperation evident in it. It was impossible to hide.

"Since you yourself gave me the invitation, and I accepted it." His pupils dilated, almost completely engulfing the irises.
