Dear Diary...

Chapter 15

~Dear Diary
   After leaving Scooter's house I decided to end my two week, holiday off campus, early. I texted Jacob Dartwood to come pick me up and take me back to UCLA. With Shaggy being here, Lux is occupied and my parents house is a war zone between Levi and I. Not like I could exactly stay at Xavier's with Landon there if I want him to make it out alive. However why would I want him to make it out alive? Why do I still care? Yes Scooter got him to admit that I mean something but it just seems as though he wants me, but also the free reign to fuck other girls. And I don't share. Jacob has been a nice breath of fresh air when I told him what happened and asked for a ride back. Though Landon is his roommate, it's nice to know guys don't always take each others side.

*honk honk*

   I am pulled from my writing when I look up to see Jacob in his Gray F150 smiling at me. I stand up from the curb of the cemetery that I have been sitting on for the past two hours and gather my things before throwing them into the bed of the truck.

   "Thank you again for coming to pick me up. That is a two hour drive and I know it was a lot to ask of you. I really do appreciate it." I say leaning onto his driver side window from the outside of the truck.

   "Really it was no problem. I have always wanted to come down to San Diego anyways and now I had an excuse. Not like my family is very close anyways." Jacob says smiling down at me. "Come on, get in. Show me around town a bit and we can grab something to eat before hitting the road." I walk around to the passenger side of the truck and hop in before closing the door.

   As I reach for my seat belt I hear the familiar roar of a mustang coming down the street from behind. The black and white car swerves around The f150 and pulls right in front of us, blocking our path.

   The blonde gets out of his car and is heading straight for my side of the truck. "Ashton are you seriously going to pull some grimy shit like that and then take off?" I can almost see the steam coming out of his ears as he gets closer and closer to the window. 

I'm grimy? He fucked a bitch the second he got out knowing I was waiting for him, dry humped her on the dance floor infront of me, and then denied even knowing me in front of everyone. But I fucked MY ex fuck buddy and that makes me grimy?

   Before I can fire back I am interrupted by the man in the driver seat next to me. "Hey man just let us leave alright? She told you to leave her alone already last night so just back off." Jacob defends. Landon's piercing blue eyes, suddenly dark with rage, switch to Jacob in a matter of seconds.

   "You can shut the fuck up man." I shift uncomfortably in my seat praying there was a way out of here. "Why the fuck are you even here? What you mad that I stole your bitch so now you're trying to get my sloppy seconds?" I turn my head to look at Jacob to see him clutch the steering wheel to the point his knuckles turn white.

   Jacob quickly puts the truck in reverse and pushes on the gas before smoothly jerking the wheel facing the truck toward a dirt road right across from the grave yard. He quickly puts the truck in drive and slams his foot onto the gas pedal and speeds down the dirt road.

   When I look in the rear view mirror I see Landon watching us as we get further down the road until he disappears in the cloud of dust.

The entire ride back to campus, Jacob kept trying to make me laugh to keep my mind off of things and I have to say he is pretty funny.

He decided to hang out with me in my dorm because we are some of the only people left on campus due to everyone else going home for the holidays.

Jacob made two cups of coffee and joined me on my couch after I got changed into some comfy clothes. "So...Adrianna cheated on you?" I ask.

He looks down at his coffee before looking back up at me. "Yeah...apparently she's been cheating on me for a while." He answers. I expected some more emotion from him but he seems numb. Like it doesn't effect him at all.

"We'll I'm so sorry that Landon would do that. And Adrianna is a bitch because you're a great guy." I smile trying to provide a little comfort to someone who doesn't seem to need it.

"No I'm the one that would be sorry. Landon's a dick for doing that to you. No one should ever treat someone like that." He says and places his hand on my thigh. I look down at his hand and he quickly moves it away.

Before he could say anything I quickly turn on the T.V. "We can watch Elf! It's still the holidays after all!!" Trying my hardest to not make this awkward but failing miserably. I try to ignore the tension as I turn on the movie without a response.

I feel the warmth of him watching me but when I look at him, he is watching the movie like it's the most interesting thing in the world.
