"I'm tired of yelling and fighting Jacob!" This is our third fight this week and our eighteenth this month. But who's counting?
"Well what do you want me to do Max? You never listen,"
"I never listen," I say trying not to lose my cool.
"Yea that's right! You always want to talk about feelings and when ever I try to talk you don't listen!"
"I-i don't want to fight anymore," I look down at my feel for I don't want to look him in the eyes for what I'm about to say next. " I don't think we should be together anymore,"
He lifts my chin with his finger so I can see his face. I look into his dark blue eyes. I love those eyes, they remind me of the dark night sky.
"I Love you M," I saw a flash of sadness in his eyes.
"Jake please don't,"
"Alright then, I guess it's goodbye then,"
"No Jake it's not bye just... see you around,"
*******
It's been two weeks that Jake's been gone. And I don't mean since we broke up, I mean since he died. He went to one of his skateboarding contests , missed the jump and broke his back. I never liked him doing those contests, they scared me too much. So while we were together, to keep my peace of mind, he didn't do them and when he did he didn't do anything too extreme. A month after we broke up he went right back to them.
Suddenly I miss his familiar sent of spearmint gum and nature. I miss his light brown hair, and how I had to go on my toes to kiss him. But mostly I miss the way he lifted my chin with his finger to see into his astonishing blue eyes. I smile with sadness of all our memories, and a single tear of sadness fell on my cheek.
To be honest I'm glad that I wasn't with him, as a girlfriend, when it all happened. There is no way in heck I would be able to handle that.
A knock on the door made me jump. Before I got a chance to even stand up Jennica yelled through the door.
"MAAAX! Lemme in!" Jennica yelled from the step.
I walked out to the door and opened it.
"THERE'S A NEW KID! HE IS SUPER HOT!" she yelled at me as she rushed in the door, and into the living room.
"Jenn, calm down. We get loads of cute new guys. What's so great about him?"
"Well I was talking to him and," She smiled her evil grin at me "well you came up in the conversation. He's so perfect for you !"
Here she goes again. Trying to do her match making. Witch take note, always fails.
"Jennica I don't even know the guy. And what you talked to him for about five minutes?"
"Fifty five." she objected "And you are going to meet him cause he's out in the car." she seemed too happy when she said this. Oh good God.
" You brought him to my house? What are you? Crazy!?" I can't believe she brought some stranger that she only talked to for almost an hour, to my house! He could be some kind on psychopath!
I watched her run out to the car. She opened the passengers door and out he stepped. And man was he good looking! He's tall, brown hair, and from what I can see dark green eyes. I couldn't help but stare. They walked up to me on the step. From what I can see he isn't a psychopath.
"Max this is Blake," she says with a grin.
"Hey ," he holds out his hand for me to shake. Even his hands are beautiful . Is that even possible?
I clear my throat "I'm Max," I say and shake his hand. "Nice to meet you , where are you from?"
"Stateen, big change!" he smiles at me. Wow what a nice smile. "Coming from a city to a town like Smithers."
" Yea I bet. Well I have brownies in the oven that should be ready to eat in abut ten minutes. C'mon in." I nodded my head at the door and looked at Jennica. Her face was lit. We went and sat that the island in the kitchen. After a few minutes of awkward silence Jenn busted into laughter.
"Jenn what's so funny?" I asked puzzled
" It's just cause I don't know why anyone isn't talking. Normally we don't shut up! And I think you and Max," she looked Blake right in the eyes "should get together because you're perfect for her damn it!"
All I could do was stare at her. This isn't her normal self.
"Uh I think the brownies are done M. The timer just went off," Blake nodded his head to the stove.
I froze. M. He called me M? If Jenn told him to call me that, I'm gling to kill her. No one calles me M, only Jake was allowed. What kind of sick joke is this?
"Did you just call me M?" I snapped not realizing until he flinched.
