Die for Me - Duskwood

Part 2

MC POV: I get out to my car and I put my bags in the backseat. I should have known this was coming but man not wearing my engagement ring hurts. I let out a sigh and pick up my phone. I have nowhere to go so I call Jessy. She answers and I hear Dan in the background say something and her laugh. "Hi MC, everything okay?"

"No, do you think I could spend a few days with you and Dan?" I ask hoping she doesn't ask me what's wrong on the phone.

"Yeah but we will need to talk when you get here," she says and I hear the concern in her voice.

"I know, thanks bestie" I say as I hang up the phone.

I see my phone background. I wonder where we went wrong. He proposed to me just over a year ago, and we were so madly in love. I go to call him but I stop myself as we both have hurt eachother so much this last ten months. I pull out of the driveaway and head over to Jessy's.

I have a key and I open the door. I hear them in the kitchen and they sound so in love. I wonder if I did the right thing, but Hannah and Lilly are going to take his side as soon as everything comes out. Jessy has always been on my side. I put my bags down and I walk into the kitchen.

"Hey!" she exclaims.

"Hi' I say sadly.

"'What wrong boo?" asks Dan.

"MC where is your engagement ring?" asks Jessy as I grab a coffee cup.

I sigh as I close my eyes. ''It's over, it has been for a while and we have been faking it, ''I say, pouring myself a cup of coffee.

'What did he do?" asks Dan.

"It was both of us. Don't get in the middle you two please?" I plead with them.

"What happened?" Ask Jessy

"We fell out of love about ten months ago and didn't want to admit it. We've both been sleeping with others during these times and we both caught eachother. It's unfixable at this point and I'm unsure if I want to try and fix it." i say

Jessy looks at Dan and he leaves, then she turns and looks at me. "I doubt it's unfixable. You two are perfect for eachother. You've both been under a lot of stress just maybe you guys need space." she says holding my hand.

"No Jessy, this time there is no fix. Not for this one, we both knew it when we fought this morning. I'm going to the guest bedroom and going to unpack. I still need to get the rest of my stuff but I'll find my one place so I'm not putting you two between us. I know Dan is his best friend now and you're mine so that puts you guys in a bad spot.' I say as I walk out of the kitchen. I hear Dan on the phone in the living room.

"She's here man. I don't know what happened but you two need to fix this."

In moments like this I wish I could hear what he is saying but I give up and grab my bags as Dan looks at me.

I'm in my room. I unpack my bags and sit on the bed. I think back on what could have happened and all I can think is we fell out of love. But did I really stop loving him or am I just scared?

Jakes POV:

I watch her walk out of the office with her phone. She doesn't say anything to me and I hear the front door slam shut. I know she's gone, this is really over. I look at the engagement ring on the desk and I try to figure out where we went wrong. I never stopped loving her really. Are we just not meant to last forever like everyone thought? I walk into the bedroom and I see most of her clothes are gone and I sit on the end of the bed. I look at my phone and want to fix this. There is still a large part of my heart she still holds but we both cheated for this long by acting like everything was fine.

I never imagined us to have gotten to this point. I remember asking her to marry me, we were both so excited for the future and it was only just over a year ago. We kept pushing this wedding off, saying we were just too busy to do this but really we didn't want to.

I wake up to my phone going off, I realize I dozed off and I see it's Dan. "Hi Dan." I say answering. I know she probably went over there.

"What the hell is going on with you two? She's here and not wearing her engagement ring. She says it's over." he says into the phone.

"We havent be in love for ten months. We both" he cuts me off.

'I call bullshit. You two are eachothers soulmates.'

"Daniel! We both cheated on eachother for ten months.'' I feel my anger getting the best of me.

'She's here man. I don't know what happened but you two need to fix this." "There is no fixing.'

Dan is silent and I know she's right there. ''She can hear you huh?" I ask him

"Yes but she just went to the guest room. Why don't you come by for dinner? Let you both calm down and we can figure out where you guys went wrong." he says. I know he's trying to be a middle man for both of us but there is no fix.

"Sorry but no." I hang up the phone.

I look at my phone and I see a picture of us and my heart breaks. We did this to eachother without even caring. I guess we should be happy we didn't go through this wedding but it still hurts.

I open my chats and open her name. I see she's online and I start typing.

Jake; MC, I am sorry for everything. I know we can't fix what happened. I just hope you find true love.

I see her typing and deleting and typing and deleting over and over again then a get a notification

MC: Jake, I am sorry too. We shouldn't have let this go on this long. I thought you were my true love but I guess we were both wrong. I don't regret falling in love with you and getting to know you. I just wish we could have seen these signs sooner between eachother instead of it happening now. I hope you love and trust someone else again.

MC: I will come by in a couple days to get the rest of my stuff, I just need to find a place as I'm at Jessy's and Dans right now.

Jake: I know, he told me. He thinks this is fixable and we will get back together.

MC: So does Jessy but I doubt that can happen. Goodbye Jake.

She signs off and I sigh.
