NEW HEARTBREAK [jake] *EDITING.

26.

jake ended the call so bella can enjoy her sleeping. he moved his eyes upward, holding a picture frame.

he stared at a polaroid picture in his fingertips. a polaroid picture of little bella and jake doing peace signs at their family bbq nine years ago.

"i don't think i can see you anymore."

bella widened her eyes, her heart beating faster in nervousness.

jake licked his dry lips before responding, "my parents are moving to australia."

bella didn't know what to say. was she supposed to be happy? sad? angry? because jake is leaving her.

"are you....coming back?" bella spoke up, sounding like a soft whisper with saddened eyes.

jake sighed. "i don't know yet."

bella started heavily crying and jake was panicking. he didn't know what to do, his actions nor his words.

"hey hey hey.." jake whispered softly to bella's whose head was covered in her knees.

jake slowly grabbed the soaked cheeks of bella, lifting her head up to face her. "don't cry please.."

"w-wh-what if we d-don't see e-each other a-again." bella stumbled upon her words when crying her eyes out as tears were overflowing at jake's small hands.

jake sigh at her negative thoughts. "we will see each other again okay?" he reassured.

bella shook her head, her frown and trembling lips being visible.

"we will i know, and i won't forget you." jake sniffled bitterly, biting his bottom lips to hold himself from crying.

"really? you won't forget me?" bella wiped her tears that were going down her cheeks.

jake chuckled, nodding as his thumbs were removing bella's tears.

"i will come back older and maturer, to tell you how much you mean to me."

jake exhaled, remembering that vivid memory he had ever since he went to australia.

he flickered the polaroid with his other hand, snickering bitterly at the sight of it. their two baby smiles.

-

and as always, bella woke up with an irritated mood from the next five hours of sleep she had.

she placed her glasses on, having an annoyed- much as like scary expression on her face. she was indeed lacking coffee.

she went downstairs with a large hoodie and jogging pants, she didn't have time to dress up accordingly.

"good morning- oh my." her mom paused her words after seeing a dreadful bella, forcing herself to go downstairs slowly and slowly.

"what happened- oh." her dad glanced from the dining table with his newspaper and shut his lips up.

bella stayed silent, opening up her fridge to grab a ready-to-go coffee drink. "i'll be going now." she stated as she walked outside her house without any proper greeting for her parents.

she walked towards school as for her mini morning exercise routine.

"hey-" sunghoon bumped his hip at bella, trying to be playful. bella stopped her tracks while going up the entrance hill.

she mentally sighed and gave a shot up glare at sunghoon who was taken aback from her resting bitch face.

"here." sunghoon shuffled between his pockets. he took out a piece of strawberry candy that can wake bella up a bit.

"i read your message and i'd figure you needed some help." sunghoon offered, smiling innocently.

bella took the candy from his palm without any saying. sunghoon was nervous if bella would throw away the candy because of her irritated yet neutral expression.

bella smiled, her eyes softening at sunghoon's. she unwrapped it and plopped it in her mouth. "thanks sunghoon."

sunghoon sighed in relief and smiled as well.

as the two- well mostly sunghoon was talking to bella in the hallways up to their class.

bella would sometimes dazed off at the ground while listening to sunghoon and his boasting of his ice skating accomplishments.

bella would simply nodded to show that she was listening while the straw from her plastic cup never escaped her lips.

some group of girls girls purposely hit bella's shoulder, making her straw escape her lips.

bella looked at the girl- no sympathy or an apology coming from her when obviously she was coming at bella.

bella was expecting a slow apology and move on but the girls stayed still- as if they were the ones waiting for an apology.

bella raised an eyebrow at the girls in front of her as sunghoon was a bit awkward behind her, sensing the tension between them. he was certainly worried since bella's anger issues can go off the roof.

"move." bella harshly spit out when the girls weren't moving an inch. sunghoon shuddered from her tone blunt tone.

the girl in front of her, snickered. "you're so amazing bella." she crossed her arms.

bella sighed, mentally ready for what she will say next.

"you're with jake the first day and now you're with sunghoon. are one of them your side chicks ? are they boring you ?"

sunghoon gasped at that nonsense the girl was spitting. bella didn't expect this either so she raised her eyebrows, dryly light chuckling.

"what do you like to know little miss nosey pants?" bella kept her neutral expression but she was definitely boiling with anger. she scanned the girl up and down, noticing that she was smaller than bella.

the girl lightly scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"watch your mouth slut."

bella's lips opened a bit, hearing a light gasp escaping her mouth.

sunghoon was too boiling with anger but was trying to keep the situation calm and light.

"watch your goddamn word." sunghoon threatened, taking a step forward as he was glaring at the girl.

the girl chuckled, "awe sunghoon you're so cute trying to be a man in front of bella." her friends laughed along.

"i'm not-"

"don't ever fucking say that towards sunghoon." bella cursed out, interrupting sunghoon's defense. hearing bella's cursing is like hearing your parents scolding you, you seriously don't wanna hear it.

"and what you're gonna do? play around with more boys? who's next?" the girl was texting bella's limits.

"your brother is next." bella replied. everyone stayed silent as she was amused by the girl's surprised expression.

"what?" the girl asked, taking a step at bella.

bella's smile corners raised up, "even your breath smells like expired milk.." she muttered.

"you bitch-" bella grabbed the girl's wrist that was about to slap her across the face. the girl widened her eyes, surprised that bella stopped her.

"if i'm a slut, let's ask the multiple boys who you decided to fuck." bella threatens, clenching her teeth. "shall we?" she tilted her head, smiling.

the girls gulped.
