Chapter 48

Jake's P.O.V.

I slowly turn around and there she is standing, Stephanie. "What are you doing here?" I ask her, not really wanting an answer. It's her fault me and Valerie haven't been together this week. And I just don't understand her intentions? Why the hell would she do something like that, when she knows me and her were together? 

Her gaze goes to Valerie, who is behind me and she makes a face and then walks over to me. "Just wanted to talk to you."

I frown. "About what?" Even though I don't want to know it, I still want to ask her some questions. 

She looks at Valerie again. "Alone?"

I look back at Valerie and see that she knows it's Steph. Especially because of the way she is looking at her. If eyes could kill, Steph would definitely be dead. I turn her face so she looks me in the eye and her gaze softens immediately and she nods. As if to say I can go to talk to her. But I don't want to if I'm being honest.

"Are you sure?" I ask her and hope she says no.

She looks me in the eyes and then kisses me. "I love you." She smiles. 

Did I hear her right? I am not hallucinating am I? Did she just say the three words I never thought I would hear from. My heart is beating fast and I can't stop but smile so hard, my cheeks starts hurting. 

"Jake?" Stephanie's voice ruins my moment with her. I don't hit on girls, but she is really tempting me right now. 

I fight the urge to snarl at her to give us a moment and just look at her normally. "Yes?"

"Can we talk now?"

She starts walking like she expects me to just walk with her and I do because what the hell else would I do? When we are far enough away she turns and looks at me. But doesn't say anything.

"What do you want?" I ask her harsh, even though I don't mean to. Yes, she is a snake who want everything in her own way, but right now I am mostly mad because I want to kiss the hell out of Valerie right now and tell her repeatedly that I love her again and again.

She smiles at me in that way she does when she's up for something or she want something. Me and Steph have never had someting relationship kind of friendship. We only fucked and we were both agreeing on that it won't be anymore than that, but when Valerie saw me with her at the party I told her that we are over. We are not going to fuck anymore and she didn't look happy but she said okay. "I've missed you. I've missed it all. Us." She starts getting closer to me.

What the fuck?

Fuck politeness. At least I tried. "You missed me?" I ask her. "I am really sorry, Steph, but we agreed that this thing we had were nothing but a quick fuck. And I haven't missed you, cause I have a girlfriend. And what you did last week was not alright. I'm sorry if I gave you some wrong impressions but I don't like you."

She shrinks. "Stop lying Jake. You have missed me, I could feel it in the kiss last week. you don't need to be with that whore anymore." She nods in the direction of where Valerie is sitting.

I grit my teeth and try to control myself. Is she calling Valerie a whore? I think she should look at herself in the mirror. "That whore? Don't you fucking dare talk about her like that."

"But I love you. And I always have, I don't understand why you are acting like this. We always had a great connection and you can't lie. There were something between us."

"Stephanie, thats not... fuck, I don't like you and I especially don't love you at all. I am sorry but this is awkward. And don't ever try to kiss me again." With that said, I turn and leave her. Josephine and Stephanie have been a part of my past, and I will never forget Josephine. She meant a lot to me, and even though Stephanie isn't really a person I like, I still have a bit respect for her. 

Stephanie was one of my best friends, when I started at this college, but we have just drifted apart. I guess the friendship only holded because of the sex. 

When I get to the car, I get in and turn on the engine. "How did it go?" Valerie asks me smiling, god how I love her.

"It went well." I take her hand and intertwine our fingers.

Today has just been a weird day, I have realised a lot and one of those things is that I did love Josephine. A lot. But the love I have for Valerie and the love I had for Josephine Is completely different. Me and Josephine were sliding apart the weeks before she died. I feel like the only thing that kept us together was the baby. And of course I still loved her, it doesn't just dissapear because we weren't working out, but me and Josephine knew we wouldn't work out in the end. We never said it out loud but we both knew. And now when I think about Josephine I only see the past. Whereas with Valerie I see present and future.

And I am exited for seeing what the future holds for us.

Guys I thought it could be so sweet to write what Belly said about Jeremiah in this book and thought Jake could think the same, even though it is written a bit differently. And if you don't know what I'm talking about It's from The summer I turned pretty season 2.

And i would also say thank you for reading this book, and don't worry It's not finished yet, but i never thought that anybody would read this book and I'm so happy i was wrong. I love you guys.

Please voteeee<3
