NEW HEARTBREAK [jake] *EDITING.

6.

"forget-me-what now?" jake asked, still upset you scared him. he scratched his temple with a confusing stare that makes his lips pout but bella ignored his bewilderment.

little bella looked starstruck as she harspulled the tiny forget-me-not where it was growing at the ground and showed it to jake.

the blue color was very vivid, the yellow in the center standing out. bella's eyes were fixated, smiling widely at its creation and unique eye-catching beauty. bella dropped herself to the group, indicating jake to do that same so he can have a better understanding.

jake peeked behind hershoulder, curious at what bella was delicately holding. "forget-me-nots." she murmured, speaking in a soft tone like the flower was sleeping or something.

"what's that?" jake blurted, trying to analyze the flower. "what's so special about it? it's a flower?" jake questioned, sounding boring.

bella annoyingly glared at jake before changing your expression to the beautiful small flower with a smile. "flowers have meanings as well smart boy."

"it's a simple meaning. do not forget me." you placed the flower at the sand, poking it while being all jittery in excitement.

somehow although jake listened, his eyes were not glued on the flower like what you were doing.

he twisted his eyebrows as he squinted his eyes at what caught his attention. while you were kneeling down admiring in your own world, jake shifted his eyes towards your ankle socks doing down, your burn was visible despite being it night time. the lamp posts gave it away with its dimmed lights.

jake usually keeps bandaids in his pockets as he, himself may be injured in the playground in case.

jake grabbed a bandaid from his pant pockets, puffing his cheeks as bella turned around, hearing ruffle sounds.

"are you hurt?" bella asked, wondering why jake was opening a small paw patrol cartoon bandaid.

"come here." jake's high pitch voice voiced out to bella. she twisted her eyebrows. "you're bad at hiding injuries. now come here." jake gestured her to sit nearer.

bella knew what he was referring to. she glanced down to her ankle, yep it was showing. embarrassingly, bella followed, sticking her ankle out.

bella pulled her sock down, making sure she isn't pressing on her burn- which looked like a red scratch mark now.

jake pulled both of his sweater sleeves up, focusing on bella's scratch now. bella noticed that jake pouts his lips when he's focused.

not gonna lie, bella's heart somehow fluttered, either from seeing jake being focused or the gentleman action of his.

"there." jake said after placing the bandaid on her injured ankle, softly tapping the dog smiling. bella gave a small smile, mumbling a whisper-like thank you.

bella also noticed jake's small smile, satisfied with his work. bella's cheeks flushed, she avoided eye contact.

"it sure is cold.." bella awkwardly laughed, trying to make an excuse of her pink cheeks forming.

"bring a better jacket, thin layers are not gonna work." jake advised with a worry tone. bella nodded.

jake's curiosity formed. "how did you get a burn?" he bluntly asked. bella made eye contact with him with the sudden question from his mouth.

jake regretted a bit for asking that question. "you don't have to answer.." he spoke in a low-whisper life tone, not trying you to not force you to answer that.

"well i simply fell." bella replied, drawing a flower at the sand.

"you can't run now?" jake added a higher pitch at the end of his sentence, sounding shook. he added a light scoff.

"be quiet." bella embarrassingly muttered.

jake chuckled as he suddenly kicked bella's sand flower. bella opened her mouth in a shocked expression, her fingers freezings at jake kicking her creation with his dirty old shoes.

"hey!!" bella yelled, sounding angry with her twitched eyebrows. jake placed an index finger in his mouth. "shhh~"

bella forgot that it's late and neighbors are sleeping.

"let's race!" jake suddenly suggested, suddenly untying and tying his shoe laces. bella blinked- what?

"i have a bandaid though??" bella excused herself.

"it's not twisted or anything." jake raised an eyebrow showing his cocky personality. bella glared at the tiny boy.

"no tomorrow, i have no energy." bella confessed as she pouted.

jake understood as he kneeled down. bella's stomach suddenly growled.

her first instinct was covering it with her two arms. jake saw bella's embarrassed expression with her pink cheeks being visible.

"bring food with you next time.." jake sighed.
