Dark Beauty

Chapter 32

I couldn't believe my eyes, it was Jake, was he here? Or was I having an illusion? No, he was really here, right next to me. But who had... So that's what Jessica went to do, she didn't go back to Peter, she went to call Jake! She knew I needed him. I would need to thank her later.

Why was he here standing in the rain, was he there to say I told you so? No Jake could be mad at me, but he would never do that. So, he isn't mad at me? I really hope he wasn't.

'You're freezing' he said taking of his Jacket and putting it over my shoulder. It smelled just like him, just with that jacket I felt much better. 'What happened? Jessica said you needed me, are you alright? I tried calling you, but you wouldn't pick up, so I tried calling your house, but your mom said you were with Lucas. Then Jessica told me where you were.' He sat beside me. It was then that he noticed I was crying. I looked at him quickly, even if my sight was all blurry because of the tears, I still saw he had a worried expression.

'What did that jerk do to you?' He asked. I just wanted to hug him tell him that I loved him and stay with him for a long time just the two of us, so I could forget all my problems.

I looked at him, his hair was already dripping, why didn't he bring an umbrella?

'Weren't you guys going to talk about breaking up or not?' Jake asked.

I looked at him. His green eyes were looking right into mine. Seeing him just made me cry harder. I was going to answer his question but instead I asked:

'Isn't this the part you say, I told you so and tell me how stupid I am?'

Jake wiped a tear that was running down my cheek, he smiled. I always melted with his smile.

'You are not stupid, and how can I say I told you so, if I don't even know what happened?' He joked. 'I know I was mad at you for going out with him today, but I wouldn't call you stupid, naive yes, but not stupid.' He explained. 'Besides, I was angrier at him for treating you the way he was treating.'

I looked at him for a moment, thinking how I would tell him something so humiliating. I felt the need to tell him everything, just get this out of my chest.

'Now tell me, what did Lucas do to you? Why are you crying like this?' he asked.

'Lucas broke up with me, but that's not the reason I'm crying.' I said. 'If he hadn't broken up with me, it would be me breaking up with him.' I said.

'What? He broke up with you. But why?' He asked.

'He never loved me.' I said looking at my knees 'He was only using me. He was using me to get Rebecca jealous.' I said. I hope he understood everything because I was still crying a lot.

'He came here and met with Rebecca they kissed and then she told me Lucas was using me.' I said. 'Lucas didn't deny it. I think he even had fun humiliating me that way.' I explained. 'It was all planned because today I was going to break up with him and he convinced me to go out so we could discuss it. The first time I tried to end it with him, he asked for another chance.' I explained.

'I can't believe it.' Jake said, 'What takes a guy do this to someone?' he asked, he looked angry.

'I was so stupid to believe him' I sobbed still looking at my knees. I just couldn't look at Jake. 'Rebecca was right I'm an idiot.' Now I couldn't even say a word I was crying so much that everything seemed smudged.

'Don't listen to anything that Lucas or Rebecca says you're way better than them, I never met a girl like you, you're sweet, kind, helpful always trying to make everyone happy that's why...' he was going to say something but then stopped.
