Loved With Your Love {Jailey Story (Jake X Hailey)}

Chapter 5: Hidden Talent?

Previously:

"Okay let's talk about this later when Zander isn't all heated...", Luke said walking away with Zander. Soon after Milly and Sean followed them back inside. Then I looked back to the willow tree and sighed and then I saw something... something that looked absolutely beautiful and full of life and talent.
 

_.*_____________________________*. _

Jake's Point Of View (POV):

I gaze downward toward the item I observe sitting before me at my feet, I squat down to stare toward the beauty on that I feast my sight on. I pick up the journal to receive a more meticulous gaze at what I'm staring at, once I accumulate it I go and sit back down, leaning against the tree studying the front of the journal that I look upon. In my hands, I held a brown fake leather notebook, sketchbook... journal? I don't really know what the correct term is I guess. I open up the book and flip through some of the pages, inside the book, there were some song lyrics, quick sketches, but one particular one caught my eyes. I stopped and looked all around the page of the sketchbook trying to figure out what the picture is truly trying to say to me. I don't really know what the sketch means... if it means anything at all. But I look upon the words at the bottom of the sketch and read the words...

"And I've tried, 'bout a million times, but I can't seem to get it right

Get my hopes up, but it lasts one night, and then it's over"

I start to wonder what Hailey meant when she wrote those words down, but maybe I should wait for her to say something first about this subject. I decided to tear out that page, fold it up, and put it in the pocket of my jacket. I flipped to the next page just to see a pencil sketch of an eye with different flowers, petals, and leaves surrounding it. The sketch was placed a little bit higher than the exact middle of the page, and closer to the bottom in black, silver, and green calligraphy wrote;

"But when I'm looking into your eyes, I see my future, my paradise

Somethin' hits me every time, and I know it"

Now that I inspect the sketch closer than I did before, inside the eye, if you look closely you can see a little sketch of a sunset at the beach... Looks like Hailey put a lot of emotion into these two drawings here. 'I think I should keep this sketch in the book' I think to myself as I already stole one of the sketches in her book. I pick up the journal, that I placed on the floor for a second to process the beauty and meanings in these drawings, I close the book deciding not to look at any more of her items since I've probably invaded her privacy enough. After I closed the book I held on to it so I can return it to her later, so I put it in my bag and walked back inside the main building.

I never knew Hailey could draw this well, I guess she does have a lot of hidden talents, huh? We still had class for today, but that was in 15 minutes so I decided to head to the music room really quick and drop something off before heading to my locker before class began. I walked throughout the busy halls filled with kids trying to get to their classes on time, or leaving their classes to head to the next. Then I reached the music room, I opened up the door then closed it, and put down the shades in front of the little window on the door. I then walked over to Sean's empty desk because all his equipment was packed away ready for practice later today and took Hailey's journal out of my bag that previously I put in there. I opened the book and ripped out an empty page and took a black pen out of my bag;

CC: Dear Hailey,
When we were talking earlier and you ran away I noticed that you had dropped your journal, notebook, sketchbook? (I honestly don't know what it is) So I decided to return it to you, also sorry for earlier today I don't know what came over me... I think I was just mad honestly I don't really know at the moment it's a bit rough and crazy right now. Hope I didn't make things awkward today... Maybe we could talk later like we were supposed to just send a text.

-Jake
P.S. You have a real talent besides singing and playing instruments, princess ;)

I then closed my pen and put it back in my bag, I then turned back to the table, picked up the note, and folded it in half and then in half again. I put it on top of the journal and slipped it between the band keeping the book shut;

It looks like this but the journal would be a dark brown

I then proceeded to go to Hailey's little area in the corner where she keeps her acoustic guitar, some old records and CDs and a lot of music books, and a few binders with papers which were lyrics and music notes I presumed. I put the journal and book on top making it visible and then left the music room closing the door behind me. But the picture in the journal was ingrained in my brain... I wonder what Hailey meant when she sketched that picture... Maybe one day I'll find out. But for now, I may try and think of why myself...

(please refrain from stealing my work, unless credit is used)

Author's Note: Hey Sorry for this hell of a long wait while I try and get this done. I would say that it was because I had to draw that drawing right above, but that would be a lie, I did that in a little over an hour in my math class. I hope to finally get a schedule for writing but who knows at the moment cause my schedule changes constantly due to school and this whole situation in the world at the moment. Also, you're doing great today! I love you all my little shining stars.
