Jake's Younger Sister

• heartbreak •

Once Jake had stormed out of the arcade, he never came back. He must've gotten an Uber because when I looked outside; he was nowhere to be seen. I know Jake and when he gets pissed off he'll walk away from his problems. He'll come back.

We were all frozen. I don't think I've ever seen Jake so mad before and I don't think the boys have either. It was a deafening silence, a silence that made me feel sick.

Once Jake was nowhere to be seen, we grabbed our bags as well as our equipment and we scurried out of the arcade back to the car. As we walked back to the car still in silence, I looked to Colby; He looked straight ahead with an iced glare and a cold demeanour. He didn't dare look at me, not even a glance.

-

The car ride home was sickening and heinous, once Sam started driving he put on the radio but that still wasn't enough to put me at ease. The whole ride home, the only thing I could think about was Jake and what I did. I felt horrible and disgusting but I can't help who I fall in love with.

I knew once we got back to the house, I wouldn't be able to stay for much longer. I needed a place to stay and quickly, I didn't know anyone here, except for the girls. I prayed and hoped one of them allowed me to stay at their places for at least a night.

I glanced to my right, Colby was sitting a seat away from me. As if he couldn't even sit next to me, that thought made my stomach churn even more than before.

-

Once we got back, I saw Jake sitting on the couch and knew at that exact moment that I needed to leave as fast as I could. I ran upstairs to my room and I started maniacally packing my suitcase. The faster I got out of here the better it would be for everyone, I knew this would've never happened if I followed my brain not my stupid heart!

I heard someone come up the stairs but I couldn't care less and I kept packing, my door squeaked as opened frantically as someone rushed into my room.

"You're packing?" Colby muttered looking at my belongings scatter all over the floor and room in general, I didn't say a word. Instead, I nodded my head and kept packing; not daring to look at him. He sighed and sat on my bed, looking up at me; trying to grasp my attention.

"Amora," Colby stated, placing his hand under my chin. His touch created a shiver down my side and I huffed knowing that I now had to talk to him. "Where are you going to go?" He demanded bringing back his hand and crossing his arms, I hadn't quite thought that far. "You have nowhere to go, Amora." He stated truthfully, I sighed knowing he was right but I kept packing. "I'll find somewhere." I coldly replied.

As I kept packing, Colby gently grabbed my arm trying to get my attention but I roughly got out of his grasp. "Don't touch me!" I shouted as I backed away from his touch, Colby scoffed and stood up from the bed; towering over me. "Oh, so you're mad at me now?" He shouted back. I blew the air out from my cheeks and glared at Colby. "Yeah, I am!" I seethed, I stood back from my suitcase and crossed my arms. Colby chuckled with anger, "Wow." He muttered.

"Y'know what? you were shocking back there!" I coldly replied. He grimaced, he knew I was right. "When I needed you the most, all you did was stand there!" I frowned, studying his facial features. He looked like he was going to burst, "I didn't know what to do alright? It's your fault for becoming obsessed with me in the first place!" He shouted and that's when all hell broke loose.

"Obsessed with you?" I shouted with fury, "Colby, for the first time in my life I was in love!" I seethed "Call my love for you an obsession, I don't give a fuck! But don't blind my love with your obsession with being a fucking player." I yelled as my eyesight once again became blurry with tears of rage and heartbreak. Jake was right, he did end up breaking my heart. Colby stood frozen for a moment; caught in the fact that I just confessed to him that I love him. However, after his single moment. He breathed out heavily and shook his head. "This was a mistake, a big fucking mistake!" He yelled and my heart felt like it had broke into a million pieces but I masked on a brave face. "It sure fucking was." I scoffed.

I zipped up my suitcase and placed it on the floor. "Goodbye, Cole Robert Brock." I seethed while pushing past him, rolling my suitcase behind me. As I got to the door, I paused and turned to him. "Go fuck yourself, Brock" I smiled fakely before slamming the door in his face and walking down the stairs. As I reached the door, I breathed out heavily, kept my head high and walked out without another word.

The tears began flooding out of my eyes once I had shut the front door behind me and I couldn't control them anymore. I let them fall, I walked away from the house and down the road. I took out my phone and called a girl I knew would pick up. Katrina answered the phone with a weary 'hello?'. Through the phone she could hear my sobbing and uneven breath, she asked me what happened and I told her everything. Without even asking she told me confidently that I could stay at her place and I've never been so thankful to have Kat in my life. 

Kat had told me she was going to pick me up, I thanked her and ended the call. I sat down on a park bench; waiting. I felt bad for the trouble I was causing right, left and centre but there was nothing I could do now.

I wiped the tears off my face when a familiar car drove into my view. Kat's car. I stood up from the bench and hopped Into her warm car. As soon as I closed the car door; Kat embraced me into a homely and reassuring hug. "Amora, I'm so sorry." Kat worried. I tried to laugh it off but it was impossible, I'll admit; I'm fucking heartbroken.

-

Once we arrived at Kat's apartment, she opened the door and showed me to the spare room. I placed my suitcase into the spare room; not bothering to even unpack and walked through to the living room. Kat was sitting on the couch waiting for me. I sat next to her and was engulfed in a hug, a true hug. Something I was in desperate need of, I hugged back and held back my tears.

Kat told me she was on my side and that I was allowed to stay here as long as I needed. I was so thankful for her, she was the purest soul. That was one of the things I loved most about Kat, She always thought of her loved ones before herself. Kat and I watched a movie, a comedy. I won't lie it was pretty funny. Well, most of it was funny but we both fell asleep halfway through it. I woke up a little later and the movie was just finishing.

-
I decided not to walk up to Kat and let her sleep, I turned off the tv went to her balcony and sat down on one of the chairs. I looked out at the scenery of LA. The once beautiful and new start that I had has crumbled down and has turned out to be nothing but trouble.

Everything is falling down like a ton of bricks; my friends, my relationship with my brother, my relationship with Colby. Everything is ruined.

I fell in love with someone I knew I couldn't be in love with but I did it anyway and now It has come to bite me in the ass.
