Jacob. (Coming Soon)

Then

"Look calm down, it's only 15 minutes into last period"

Jacob tried soothing me with his calm voice as we drove in his jeep.

"No, we missed the whole of lunch as well, all thanks to you" I rolled my eyes in frustration and stared out the window.

"No, don't go making excuses for yourself so you don't feel guilty" I saw Jacob grab the steering wheel from the corner of my eye. "I didn't force a gun to your head telling you to come with me"

A silence fell between us. I carried on looking into the distance. He was right and I hated that.

I sat up and smiled at him. My hand on his thigh. Rubbing it softly.

"No Toni" he sternly told me.

Scrunching up my face and beginning to slouch, "why not?"

"Because you can't complain about spending time together one minute and then be all lustful towards me"

I huffed and moved my hand. He was right. Again. And I hated that.

"Alright! Alright!" I put my hands up in surrender, "I apologise"

Jacob held his lips together and nodded slowly, still focusing on the road.

Another silence fell. I felt awkward. And once again. I hated that.

I looked out the window, I saw that it wasn't the normal route to school.

I whipped my head towards

"Jacob?"

"Mhmm"

"Where are we going?"

Pause.

Silence.

Frustrating silence.

I groaned and moved back towards the window.

Silence.

"Why you being quiet" the husky voice asks.

I clenched my jaw and turned towards him, "quiet? Quiet?! Quiet Jacob! You're the one not talking to me!"

"But I am talking to you. Right now exactly" With that little smirk of his.

"Nah fuck no. Not today am I dealing with your sarcasm when I'm pissed"

"But why you pissed?" He smiled, cocking his head to the side slightly.

I closed my eyes and slowly tried calming myself down, "Jacob stop this"

"Stop what?"

Even with my eyes closed, I know he was smiling. He was enjoying this.

I opened my eyes, "all of dis!" I flapped my hands around in the air.

He chuckled.

"I meant in general Toni, you act so quiet but you're like this. You hide but you want to noticed. You're so confident but you isolate yourself"

And all I could do was stare at him. And let it all sink in. Because he was right. Then I looked down.

The car door opened and a warm breeze hit me. I didn't even realise that the car had stopped and that Jacob was already out of the car.

I quickly pushed open the door and took in the atmosphere. It was a warm, vibrant field. My shoes mushed on the fresh cut grass as I walked towards Jacob.

He was just standing there. So I watched him from a distance instead.

His chest rose and fell and he softly smiled to himself with his eyes closed. One of his hands was in his jeans pocket like there was something in it.

I walked towards him and held his hand that was in his pocket. He brought out these small pink and purple crystals .

I looked up at him into his eyes, "Jacob why are we here?"

He inhaled. Then exhaled.

"This is where I reconnect with myself when I feel like I'm distancing myself or just when I feel like I need to. I just think and mediate."

I carried on looking at him, a bit confused and he noticed it.

"I wanted to share it with you as I think you could really do with it"

Our hands were both holding the pink crystal together. I glanced down at it, "what are these?"

Jacob smiled to himself again, "it's a rose quartz."

He looked into my eyes gently, "it's a love stone which opens our heart chakra"

Jacob softly gave me the Rose Quartz completely and closed my fist so I was the only one holding it.

Then we just looked at each other.

And there was a silence.

But I could bear it

Because I was with him.

A good silence.

An amazing silence.

I whispered,

"Thank you Jacob"
