FALLEN

014

"Its 9am arent you supposed to be going off now?" Jacob asked

"Going off where?" I replied

"To Jog or gym?" He said

I shook my head "Nahh i think im gonna sit this day out. You? Going somewhere?"

"Yeah i'm meeting Taylor." He said

I nodded. "Cool cool. Can you uh could you guys stay here after your errands or whatever?" I said

"Why?" He asked looking at me

"No reason. I just want you guys here and uh i missed you all, besides i wanna still know her" I said

He gave me a look. "Okay then. Are you gonna stay here all day?"

"Yepp" I said and opened the tv.

"Okayy. I'll see you later then." He said

"Uh Jacob.. Could you not silent your phone?" I said

"Why?"

"No reason. Just in case someone calls you or me" I said

"Yeah sure bud. You sure you're okay?"

"Yeah. Thanks have a good day" I said

He nodded and closes the door. I looked around and went to the door to double check it if its lock. I am scared, i just don't want to admit it but i am. I don't even know why.. I am safe, i am not unharmed, i just i don't know. I don't feel safe all of the sudden. I am freaked out and i havent showed it to anyone but i am. I fucking am.

Bruna's POV

I am at work when Jacob is calling me. What does he want now?

"Yes?"

"Hi Bru, Where are you?" He asked

"Work. Why? Look i gotta go. Can this wait?" I asked then i saw my photographer calling me

"Oh okay. Nevermind then. It's about Xolo but you're working so sorry and goodluck there" He said

"Wait what about Xolo?" I asked

"Nothing you go back to work i'm sure this can wait till later" He said

I looked at my photographer pointing his watch. Ugh.

"I really gotta go. Tell me later" I said then i hung up

That really got me, i wonder what happened.

Jacob's POV

I'm at the park with Taylor we're just walking after we ate. This is the first time we did this, holding hands while walking in a public place.

"You're phone is ringing like every 60 seconds arent you going to answer that?" She asked

"Maybe later" I said. It was Xolo i don't know whats gotten into him. he's been like calling me nonstop.

"I think you should answer it, what if its urgent?" She said

"No. It's just Xolo, i don't know why he's been acting all strange" I said

"If its Xolo you should definitely answer it. What do you mean acting all strange?" She said

Then i told her everything that he's been doing and telling me to do, this morning too.

"And it didn't occur to you that maybe he's freaked out? You told me what happened to him. What if that's the reason?"

And that made sense. The all checking out on me, asking me to tell Tay to stay the night. I feel bad all of the sudden for ignoring his calls.

I called him back after my talk with Tay and we told him will be at home in an hour. He said no need but i know he's lying. He wants to be with someone. Then i called Bru, unfortunately she's at work. Peyton's too she's in Vancouver right now for a month if i remember right. Mary and Tanner are i don't know, i just don't want to bother them. The easiest is Bruna because she's our neighbor and she cared for Xolo more than anyone, i mean not more than me or Pey but yeah.

Bruna's POV

After my shoot i called Jacob back and he filled me in. Oh poor Xolo, i feel bad for what happened. I canceled my lunch with a guy then i went home as quickly as possible.

*knocks* 3x

No one's answering. Maybe he's in the shower ot bedroom, he couldn't hear.

*knocks louder* 3x

"Are you sure he's home? No one's answering" I said

"Call his phone and let him know it's you" He said

Then i hung up to call him.

"Who is this?" He said

"Bruna. Did you delete my number?" I asked

He chuckles "Im kidding. What is it Bru?"

"I'm at your door." I said

Then without responding to me he opens the door quickly.

"How are you??" I asked

"I'm fine. What are you doing here?" He asked

"Just visiting. Did you eat? I bought pizza" I said

"No. Thank you! You're my saviour" He said and ate

I stared at him eating. He offered me but i said i already ate.

After eating he cleaned and went back to me. He continued watching adam sandler movie.

"Adam sandler is also my saviour you know. Anyway, Thank Bru" He said

"Yeah. He's good and Welcome. Hey Xo, are you okay like for real?" I asked

He chuckles softly "Yeah. Why?"

"Just wondering since you know" I said then he stopped. I turned my eyes looking at him, he becomes so quiet.

"Hey? It's me. You know you can tell my anything" I said

He looks at me, his eyes are turning red. I hugged him and i felt him sobbed. The door opened, Taylor and Jacob entered, they saw Xolo sobbing on me but Xolo did not see them because i am the one facing the door so i told them to leave first. They nodded and they closes the door again quietly.

"It's okay to be freaked out and scared. You dont need to act all tough everytime" I said while rubbing his back

"I don't wanna go outside. I don't wanna talk to people." He said

"But you need to, face your fears. Not all people are going to get or hurt you." I said

"I know, its just that, its so hard. 3 days, i didnt do anything because i was too afraid to hurt her, i let her get away with it for 3 fucking days." He said

"Because you're too nice. You don't hurt people physically especially girls, you respect us too much. Come on now, don't let what happened scare you to death and just stay here for the rest of you life. You need to go out and try again. You're Xolo, everybody loves you." I said and tried pulling him to stand up

He looked at me and chuckles softly. "Thank you Bru. I don't know what to do if you're not here" then he hugged me again. I can't help but smile. He's a grown up but he still get scared, he cries, he shows his true feelings. He's not filtering anything on anything.
