Jake POV:
I can't stop thinking about him... The guy with the red eyes from last night... Im fucking terrified.
Emma doesn't know about this. I don't want to worry her with my problems. She doesn't have to know. I can handle this.
Or can I?
I cover my eyes as I'm getting close to losing it, I'm really about to cry in the middle of class like a baby. I let out a soft whimper, like a scared little puppy.
I feel Emma's warm hand on my back, and I don't bother to push it away. It was oddly comforting.
I quickly recollect myself before I embarrass myself even more.
"We can talk about it later, okay?" Emma reassures me, with a smile of precious gold.
"Uh- yeah.. Whatever." I responded.
Emma's pov
"Jake baby are you ok" I ask in a soft spoken voice
"No no- I mean- like- yes, but like- no, I'm sorry... I just" Jake said in a soft and sad voice
"Shhh, it's ok baby do you want a head rub" I ask in a soft voice
" you know it's been years since I felt fear yet I yearn for him "
Later, after class
Emma:
"Jake, what were you so worried about?" I asked, concerned.
"It- It's just... last night... I came across this shady dude... It's probably nothing- but I can't help but feel... nervous?... a- afraid?"
"Oh. Who is this?"
"I have no idea... I can tell he's up to something though..."
"Jake, whatever happens, I know you'll be okay. We will be okay."
"Yeah.. I know." He looks down
I gave him a pat on the back before the bell rang, and headed to my next class.
I hope you'll be okay.
