A piece of jerk

"...it has never worked for me. I give love and never get it in return. Arianna and I are over, mom. Please don't poke my heart by mentioning her name anywhere me" Jace bellowed.

Eli dropped his cutleries. His dad and mom are not getting married again? His dad hates his mom now. What did his mother do to hurt his dad this way?

The atmosphere became condensed. Jace's words were uttered from a wounded heart. The young man is still hurting. Whatever might have been the reason for their break up, it really hits Jace in the place where it hurts badly.

Jace was giving off a compressed aura. Why should his mom talk about love to him? That word had caused him so much pain already.

That feeling has always left him broken, shattered and battered. How can he ever believe in it again? He doesn't want to hear that word again, it disgusts him.

"Calm down Jace, the kids"Chase said and shrugged, indicating that the kids are there and he should put his temper to check.
