BACK TO YOU | JAKE ENHYPEN FF

1

I have known jake for almost my entire life. His mom and my mom have been best friends since college and both of them got married around the same time and had us around the same time too.

I'm only a month and a half younger than jake but he always used to tease me because of it.

Jake and i basically grew up together like siblings. My mom was a single mom so i was mostly at his house after school and his mom always adored me like her own.

We used to play together , eat together and sometimes even sleep in the same bed when my mom was late from work.

This was all when we were young. As we grew older we started becoming distant but not entirely. We still visited each other and hang out sometimes, but it was not the same.

During middle school we were assigned the same class and sat next to each other for 3 years and honestly that made us even closer to each other.

We used to do our homework together and went to school together, ate lunch together, walked home together. There wasn't a moment when we were separated and honestly I didn't mind it, i loved his company so much that I started taking a liking to it and to him..

Middle school was coming to an end and our moms were discussing about which high school to send us too. They wanted us to go to the same school so we could have each other's company and also not get bullied.

Jake and i were also okay with that. We decided on a high school nearby, it was a 15 minute walk or 5-7 minutes by the subway but honestly we both preferred to walk.

We were assigned different classes in high school, honestly i was a little sad at first but i guess it's fine.

It's been a week since school started and my classes were all pretty boring. The only I looked forward to was lunch break so i could see jake.

The first year of high school was pretty okay, me and jake had lunch together and hangout whenever we had a free period. We used to go home together and hang out sometimes.

During the second year of high school jake made new friends and would often hang out with them, honestly i was happy and sad at the same time. I was happy he had more friends but sad that we couldn't hang out a lot.

We rarely had lunch together so i would mostly just skip lunch and sleep on my table since I didn't have many friends.

I had friends in my class but they were more like classmates rather than real friends. Most of the girls I tried becoming friends with were only friends with me so i could introduce them to jake. In the end i gave up on friends and just thought being alone was better.

Jake didn't know about any of this. I never told him because he always encouraged me to make new friends, maybe it was because he thought i was too dependent on him which in reality I wasn't, i just liked having his company.

Me and jake often come home separately now since he goes to the arcade with his friends after school.

I stopped going over to his house after middle school because my mom said i was now growing up and should learn to be independent and not trouble his mom for food. That's when I learned how to cook.

At first i found it frustrating but now it's kind of relaxing. I come home from school and make lunch for myself and even dinner sometimes for me and mom.

I like to bake too. I find it very therapeutic. I love sweets and desserts and experimenting with them is even better. I often make cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes. sometimes if they look good which they rarely do since I'm just a beginner, i give them to jakes mom too as a thank you.

She always accepts them with a big smile and always tells me to come over more often. She's honestly the best, sometimes i love her even more than my own mom because of how kind she is towards me. Not that my mom is  bad but she's just very different from jake's mom (in a good way obviously)
