"Why cant he just go away?" | a tmf Jailey fanfic

chapter 4

Jake only got about 20 minutes of sleep last night, he was up all night crying his eyes out. It was only 5am but Jake didnt see him being able to fall asleep again.

He looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes were red and puffy and he had heavy eye bags. His hair was all ruffled up and he couldnt muster up a smile even if it was fake. He let out a loud sigh and flopped onto his bed. He was debating staying home before h got a text from Zander.

"Come to school 20 minutes early and meet me in the library, ive got a plan"

Jake groaned, well now he doesn't have a choice. He replied with a simple thumbs up emoji and got dressed for school.

He arrived at school and made his way to the library and spotted Zander and... Luke?

"Hey" Jake said, looking at the ground.

"Hey, Jake. Zander explained everything to me and i trust Zander" Luke said, giving him a soft smile. Jake looked up and smiled back.

"Okay so anyways, my plan is, we have to catch him in the act. I'm thinking whenever Trevor goes to talk to Jake he has to start voice recording so we have cold hard proof." Zander explained.

"So Jake, always keep your phone in hand just incase" he continued. Jake nodded, grabbing his phone out his bag.

Little did the trio know, there was somebody around the corner, listening to every word they said.

Trevor

He chuckled to himself, thinking how the boys could be so stupid, he was always around of course.

Jake walked out the library and towards his locker. He saw Trevor in the distance and trembled trying to get his phone out. Trevor, no surprise walked up to Jake.

"Hello Jake" He looked Jake up and down, searching for his phone.

"Hi." He bluntly replied.

Trevor could not see his phone anywhere, which was odd. Had this dimwit really forgotten about the plan he made not even 5 minutes ago.

"Do you need something?" Jake said.

Trevor realised he had been staring at Jake for a bit to long. "um yeah, just so you know I have more up my sleeve then what you think" he said then walked away.

Jake sighed, his phone was still in his hand but he hadnt been quick enough to start the recording. He slammed his locker shut and headed to his first class of the day, English with Miss Jones.

He walked in and sat near the back, coincidently on the desk next to haileys desk. She was sitting alone because him and Hailey usually sat together during this class. Once he sat down Hailey quickly glanced at him before looking back at the teacher.

With that quick glance of Jake, she noticed something off about him. His eyes were puffy and red, and he looked like he'd been crying all night. A part of Hailey wanted to forgive him, let him back into the club. It was just so... weird. Like if he did write the note why would he beg to get back in the club, if he really meant it then why didn't he just quit. She sighed and looked out the window.

She felt some movement near her arm and she looked down to reveal a note, folded up perfectly into a square with her name written in neat writing. She glanced over her shoulder to see Jake, looking at her. Hailey picked up the note and unfolded it.

I think we have some things to talk about Hailey.

Please meet me on the rooftop after school? I really want to explain everything.

- Jake

Hailey read over the note a few times before sliding it over to Zander. He read it then nodded his his head, signalling that she should hear him out. Trusting her brothers opinion, she quickly wrote something down and passed it back to Jake. Jake grabbed it and unfolded it, praying she had said yes. He slowly opened his eyes to reveal what she had written.

"okay sterling"

Jakes heart fluttered, reading the nickname she used to call him. Hailey looked back and Jake and he couldn't help but smile. Hailey felt a smile tugging the corners of her mouth but fought it. The class went by slowly and Jake was deciding what he was gonna say to Hailey. The only way to actually get out of this situation was to tell her the cold hard truth.
