"This isn't you Cade." My voice is small.
I don't know if I'll ever understand why he suddenly changed, but I'm grateful he did. Whatever happened to him is a benefit to what is happening to us right now.
Cade tucks the strands of my hair that fall...

Jacob's jaw hardens as he stares back at me like the spinning bottle that chose to stop at me.
Can he fight?
Shut it!
I know what you're trying to do and I won't let you.
The other Cade likes violence. He embraces it and enjoys it, but despite finally accepting him, I won't let myself resolve and handle everything with violence.
"Parece que el universo nos odia esta noche Cade." I hear Camila say to me, but I don't respond.
Yeah, the universe really hates us.
The atmosphere Camila and Dylan created has suddenly shifted from the gratifying groove to strong, uncomfortable tension. By the awkward silence in the room, I know everyone is sensing it.
"Truth or dare Eric Roberts." Jacob's whole countenance is covered by anger and distaste. He's gripping the bottle in his hand way too tightly and I wonder how much self control he has left.
I know he has every right to be mad at me, but something tells me it isn't just me breaking his sisters heart that is getting him on the edge so easily.
"I'm not Eric Roberts. The man is like an hundred years old now." I mutter as calmly as possible.
I had no problem when the others made the reference, but it's starting to get on my nerves now.
Calm the fuck down Cade!
I'm calm.
I've seen Eric Roberts and watched most of his movies. Although, I've not seen him when he was way younger, but they apparently claim that I look like him.
"Why the sudden mood change in here guys?" April ignorantly let out words from her fast mouth.
"I asked the question Cade, just pick one." I know what Jacob is trying to do, but I won't let him get to me.
He wants to get on my nerves. Thankfully, I've succeeded in learning how to control my emotions, my anger and myself in general.
Only God knows how I would've retaliated to something like this a year ago.
I contemplated saying dare, but I know Jacob will mostly dare me to leave and not come back, so I choose the other. Although, I know truth isn't safe either.
