I'm in love with the Devil

You never told me

Jake's POV

We sat at the table my legs and hands wouldn't stop shaking. Molly was looking at me expecting me to say something. Ellesse looked down at the table, everything being too awkward.

"So your not with Chloe anymore?" Ellesse asked, I shook my head.

"No I'm with Molly now." I said grabbing Molly's hand in mine. She looked at me but her eyes were hard, she was angry she has the right to be. I haven't told her everything about my life.

"What about Chloe?" Ellesse asked, why is she obsessed with bloody Chloe. Molly looks at the table, I bet she feels so uncomfortable being her sitting across from my first ever love; hell the love I had for her still hasn't vanished.

"I still see her, in fact we have a four year old daughter together" I say earning a gasp from Ellesse who looks absolute shocked to learn I have a family, well a broken one.

"Ah that's sweet, where is she?" Ellesse asked looking around the kitchen as if Olivia would just pop out from the cupboard or something.

"Not here. Look I think we need to talk" I say wanting to know exactly why I was lead to believe she was, dare I say it, dead. I felt like the walls were closing in on me, how can she be here after being dead. Is this some sick joke?

"I didn't invite you to have small talk about a daughter that doesn't concern you. I want answers now, and if you don't, I'll fucking be digging you a grave to lie in" I spit my words may be sounding hurtful but the pain that this caused me is enough to actually want her dead.

"Jake!," Molly scolds "there may be a rational explanation. Just chill alright" Molly says grabbing my hand under the table.

"Fine, talk" I demand, alright hearing the words I dread to hear. It's all Chloe's fault.

"Um, well not after you and I started dating Chloe started getting jealous. She told me that I always take everything she wants; you being one of them.

"She told me that I wasn't capable enough to love you, that she was the only one made for you, match made in heaven she said. I disagreed, I told her we loved each other and she had no right to get in the way of it, that she should let you be happy if she loved you as much as she claimed she did. But Chloe said she always got her way in the end. She told me one night, that I was going to break up with you. That I would make you sleep with me then leave you straight afterwards telling you I just wanted to get into your pants, then she'd come sweeping in helping you get over the heartbreak, hoping she had a chance with you.

"I refused point blank, I wasn't ready to sleep with you and you knew that so I refused, course Chloe didn't like this so she threatened me. She said I had to or I could kiss my life goodbye, I refused to break you like that, so I chose to die. Chloe was shocked I gave in so easily, but I was tired of her bullshit. But on the night of my murder she chickened out, said she couldn't kill me, so she faked my death. She told the police she saw a man shot me and before she had time to call the police my body was set on fire and all the evidence was gone. She's a bloody good liar and actress. But I couldn't stay away, even after six years. I still love you."

My eyes burned with tears at her confession, Molly's hand gripped mine harder. Ellesse still loves me, I love her. I looked at Ellesse who just looked at me in anticipation, eating for me to say something, Molly also looked at me begging me to say something. But I couldn't find any words to say. What do you say to a girl you love unconditionally then you get told they are dead only for them to show up on your doorstep six years later, telling you that my ex is the cause of this and she still loves me?

"I can't do this, I need some air" I whisper standing up the wooden chair scraping against the tiled floor. This is all too much.
