Jacob pov
Makayla has been acting weird ever since I told her I didn't love her. I do love her but I just feel like she might use it against me but maybe she won't. I got up and walked out of my room and looked for her.

That's weird she isn't anywhere to be found. I looked over to see Santo walking out of the basement. I walked over to him.

Jacob: have you seen Makayla I wanted to talk to her about something.

Santo: she's in the basement and she'll stay there until she learns to listen and not be disrespectful.

Jacob: ok...? Well, I'm just gonna go talk to her then. I say heading towards the door.

Santo: no she's going to stay in there alone and she won't eat or drink either. He says grabbing my arm and stopping me.

Jacob: you can't do that she has to eat and drink and you can't tell me not to talk to her or see her she belongs to me too. I say snatching my arm away.

Santo: she needs to learn her lesson.

Jacob: fine I won't talk to her or see her but she will eat and drink.

Santo: no she won't! He says yelling and clenching his fist.

Jacob: yes she will and you will be giving her the food and drink since you don't want me to see or talk to her! I say yelling back at him.

Santo: fine I'm going to bed so don't bother me. He says walking away from me.

I roll my eyes and wait until I hear his bedroom door shut. Once I heard his bedroom door shut I walked into the basement. I looked around and saw Makayla laying on the floor curled up in a ball crying. I quickly ran over to her and kneeled.

Jacob: what happened? I asked in a panicked tone.

Makayla: nothing I just fell down the stairs. She says crying and hiding her face.

Jacob: Santo didn't help you? I ask standing up.

Makayla: no I told him I was fine please just go.

Jacob: I can't just leave you like this. I say helping her stand up.

Makayla: Jacob please just go I'm fine. She says crying still hiding her face.

Jacob: why are you keeping your face covered? I asked getting suspicious.

Makayla: Jacob please just go I said I'm fine.

I grabbed her hand and pulled them away from her face. I looked at her face and saw a handprint and bruises. I sat there in silence looking at her.

Makayla: Jacob let me go! She yells at me and tries to get me to let go.

Jacob: did he do this to you? I asked holding onto her and getting angry.

Makayla: Jacob, please. She says looking down.

Jacob: answer me now. I say in a stern voice.

Makayla: yes he dragged me down here by my hair and threw me down the stairs and practically beat me. She says crying a lot more.

Jacob: I'm sorry I'm so sorry Makayla I didn't know. I say hugging her and tearing up.

Makayla: it's ok this isn't the first time. She says wiping her face.

Jacob: what do you mean this isn't the first time! I yell feeling my blood boil.

Makayla: he's done this to me before and those bruises you saw sometimes and I told you were just from me being clumsy It wasn't true I lied I'm sorry but he threatened me he'd hurt you if I ever told you and I don't want anything to happen to you. She says looking up at me.

I grab her face with my hands and look into her eyes. I can't believe he's been beating her and I never knew about it. I kissed her on her forehead gently and I feel the tears rolling down my face.

Jacob: I can protect myself, Makayla but I can't protect you if you don't tell me what he's doing to you. I say rubbing her cheek with my thumb.

Makayla: please don't try to do anything about this I don't want anything to happen to you. She says looking at me with teary eyes.

Jacob: I can't just let him keep hurting you.

Makayla: please Jacob. She asks me with pleading eyes.

Jacob: fine but I'm getting you out of here I can't have him hurting you anymore.

Makayla: no I don't want anything to happen to you I'll be ok.

Jacob: no I'm getting you out of here I love you Makayla I know I said I didn't but I do and I can't stand to see him hurting you or treating you badly.

Makayla: you love me...? She asks letting the tears fall.

Jacob: yes I do love you I've loved you since the first day I took you and nothing is ever going to change the way I feel about you. I say smiling at her.

She hugs me tightly and cries into my chest. I hug her and comfort her. I smiled to myself knowing that we will finally be together.

Jacob: we're going to have to wait for a little before we can leave I have to make sure he doesn't find out.

Makayla: ok I'll be ok until then. She says looking up at me and smiling.

Jacob: I have to go back up there so he doesn't find out I came down here and hurt you again.

Makayla: ok. She says letting go of me and standing on her tippy toes and kissing me.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and deepened the kiss. I pulled away and kissed her on her forehead and walked out of the basement.
