Rebuilding [ Book 2 of Rewritten ]

Chapter 11

I hang up the phone and then turn to the group.

"So uhm.. a fake break up isn't going to work.."

"What? Sydney what do you mean?"

"Jacob. We have to breakup 100%. According to the shooter, you have to date someone else.. or else y'know."

Thomas and Jake look at each other.

"Look, we can't let you guys breakup for us."

I turn around.

"You guys are like family to me. I'm not letting either of you get killed."

I kiss Jacob not knowing what to do anymore.

I grab Jacob's hand and pull him upstairs.

"Jacob, do you want to do this?"

"Sydney. This might be my last chance to show you how much I actually love you."

- in the morning -

"So is this it? For us?"

"For now..."

I stand up and kiss Jacob again. I never thought I'd have to breakup with someone to save my friends, but here we are.

Jacob leaves my room and I knock on Vinnie's door.

"Hey Syd.. did you and Jacob?"

"Yeah.." I hold onto Vinnie tight as I begin to cry. For some reason, I wasn't as sad as I was when Vinnie and I broke up.

Vinnie and I have a bond, and I can't figure out what it is. All I know, is I end up in Vinnie's arms every single fucking time.
