Come back to me...

Chapter 16

(A/N) ok so I know u guys wanna read the chapter but I just wanted to say something. Over the weekend I have been receiving comments on my story. I know what you're thinking. Kalah what's so unusual about comments? Well, while some of them have been good, some of them have been... Not so good. Umm I'm not gonna name names, but some of those people were my friends and it kinda hurts when someone close to u says something like, "Oh you're writing is too vivid" or "the gay relationship is wrong". I get it. People have their own opinions. I truly get it, but lately, the comments have been kind of making my mood not so good and had me thinking about things. Like is my writing terrible? Do any of you actually like my story? Is it even worth writing it anymore? Was it stupid of me to add in a gay relationship? I like the story, but it really does make you question it when some of the people you care about say it's not even worth the read anymore. If it was some random stranger saying these things then I would've ignored it. But idk. I guess this was inevitable. I might just be overreacting, but I guess that just me. On a final note, I have a question. Should I end this story? Since some of you don't like it, then what's the point? 😪 Thank you for those of you who have liked it so far and here is Chapter 17....

Rachel POV

As I went to sleep, I couldn't help but have my thoughts being clouded by Anna. I didn't care if I had just met Jacob and Kyle, if they were important to Dom then they were important to me. It made me sad how Jacob could be so blind to Anna's doings. It also made me sad how Kyle could be in love with Jacob. For all I knew, Jacob could be a homophobe.

I don't know what it is, but Kyle feels like my brother and I don't want him getting heartbroken. I am completely fine with him being gay. I just wish he could've fallen for someone that he had a good chance with.

Now, I said good chance. That doesn't mean that I don't have hopes for Kyle and Jacob. Whenever they're together, it gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling. Like when you're not in a relationship and you'll just be casually walking by and you happen to see a couple holding hands and giggling. That's how I felt when we were coming back from Mardi Gras and Kyle was piggy back riding Jacob.

I also saw something on Jacob's face when he was with Kyle. It was genuine happiness. No fake smiles, no forced laughs. It was real.

On the other hand, there was Anna. Whenever he was with her, I found that his smile would never reach to his eyes.
He didn't show as much affection as he would towards others. It wasn't the same.

I knew what Kyle felt, but I felt that Jacob being with Anna is a type of distraction. The distraction from what? I didn't know, but I had a feeling it would all come out in the end.

The following morning

I woke up with the sun shining bright in my eyes. Sometimes I wish the sun would die, but remember if it did, earth would probably be somewhat of an Iceland.

I groggily got out of bed and into Dom's bathroom. I brushed my teeth first, then took a shower.

I had always found the shower as some type of serenity place. If you had a bad day, you could just wash off all your worries. I washed my hair with shampoo and then scrubbed myself with body wash. After that, I rinsed my hair and put in some conditioner.

Turning off the shower and wrapping my body with a towel, I got out of the shower and into Dominic's bedroom. It was a Saturday so I decided to just wear some sweats and one of Dominic's Green Day t-shirts. He noticed how fond I was of his clothing, so he would always let me wear it. I thought I was being too pushy, but he insisted. To make me feel better, Dominic would always tell me how adorable I looked, ending with my face looking like the blood apple from Snow White.
