Terrified Connection

Daydreams and Deep Thoughts

Jake pulled back.

In love with my bestfriend? Woah. That's like , that's like...having nachos without cheese. It's not right.

"Your game," I heard Jake say, snapping me out of my daydream, but I didn't catch on to the rest of his words.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't... What did you say?" I stumbled on my words. I was unable to form sentences at this moment.

"I said," he began very annoyed, "I was planning on taking you out to eat since I missed your game. So, are you ready to go?"

My heart told me he wasn't being sincere, but i couldn't bring my lips to tell him 'no'. I was afraid of what might happen if I went along with him. I knew he'd yell at me and he'd probably try to hit me. He didn't like that I always spent so much time with Abel. Somehow most of our arguments were based around what Jake thought Abel and I were doing.

I only wish we did some of the things Jake thought we did. Damn Sofia, you have got to stop thinking about Abel that way! I mentally slapped myself and went back to paying attention to Jake. "Greatest boyfriend ever."

Jake looked down at me. My heart rate accelerated at an abnormal pace. I let out a long sigh and replied softly.

"Yes Jake. I'm ready, I'm ready.....to go."

Jake whispered in my ear with gritted teeth, "Get in the car."

"Okay, I just need to get my purse."

Chills ran down my spine. The brim of my eyes became watery but I refuse to cry. I walked back to Abel's car to get my purse. On the way, I took deep breaths. I tried to form a natural looking smile on my face.

"So what happened," Abel asked. Concern was written on his face. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," I said and I felt that my lie was unconvincing. "I'm going to Jake's, so can you watch Matthew for me?"

"Uh sure, I just..."

"Thanks Abel," I cut him off, "love you." I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and blew a kiss to Matthew before disappearing with Jake. I could already see the anger on Jake's face and I immediately regretted the friendly kiss.

Abel POV:

I'm no so sure about this Jake kid. I've never really been sure about any of Sofia's boyfriends. I don't understand why she feels the need to always have a boyfriend. She always chooses the worst guys. I've wanted to talk to her about it but she's always with Jake now. If she wanted a boyfriend that would take her out and treat her how she deserves to be treated well, she can have me. I can be her boyfriend. But it seems like she's only attracted to jerks.

"Abel," Matthew began curiously.

"Yeah buddy?" I responded shaking my thoughts away.

"Are you sad?"

"Why would I be sad?" At this moment I'm lost in confusion.

"Because you love her and," my eyes widened. I put all my attention on every word that came out of Matt's mouth. "You love her but she has a boyfriend. But it's okay because, I think she loves you too."

I could see Matt put his head down through the mirror. He looked like he had said something he wasn't suppose to say.

"You know buddy, I'm not sad that she has a boyfriend. I just wish that one day it'll be me."

"Well then one day needs to hurry up. Then we will all be happy." He said calmly and all serious like.

This is the day I decided that I will no longer hide my feelings from the girl I'm in love with. She needs to know. I'll tell her everything. She needs to know everything.
