A Cinderella Story

Chapter 6

Jake's POV

I tried calling and texting her but she won't pick up my calls and answer my messages.

This is so messed up!

First of all I didn't kissed Fiona. She kissed me.

*Recall*

I grabbed my phone to call Ella.

"Hello? who is this?" She asked

Oh I forgot I hadn't gave her my new number yet.

Stupid.

"It's me." I answered

"Jake! Hi babe where are you?" She asked

"Meet you later at your house. Bye love you babe, and don't come to my house okay?" I said

"Why?" She asked

"Because no ones home. I'm out right now." I said

"Okay love you too." She said and hung up.

I'll surprise her later.

I don't want her to come her because one time, I was alone in the house. I heard some noises in the kitchen so I went downstairs to check who it is. Then I saw a burglar who he was holding a knife, he tried to snab me but I avoided it. It always happens when my mom and dad are out of town. And I can't even understand how did they know that I'm alone?

Later I'll buy a gift for my girlfriend. And I don't want her coming to our house alone. What if the burglar is here? I haven't told this burglar thing to her yet, I don't want her to worry.

I went downstairs and opened the door.

I was shocked when I saw her crying.

"Jake." She said and hugged me

"What's wrong Fiona?" I asked

Fiona, is my brother's girlfriend. They are dating for 2 years now.

"Your brother, he cheated on me!" She said and still crying on my shoulder.

"Let's come inside." I said

I went to the kitchen, while she is sitting on the sofa in the living room.

I opened the fridge to get some water. When I came back to the living room, she wasn't there.

"Fiona?" I said

No answer

"Fiona? Where are you?" I yelled

Still no answer.

I went upstairs. I checked all the rooms and the bathroom still no sign of her. But there is one room I still hadn't check.

My room.

But I know Fiona she wouldn't come to my room.

Then I heard noises. Coming from my room. I went to the door and leaned on it. I heard someone talking.

"Poor Ella, she wouldn't know what hit her." She said

What did she mean by that?

I opened the door and saw her laying, in my bed.

Then she jumped. The sign that she was startled to see me.

"Fiona, I've been looking for you everywhere." I said and sat beside her.

I handed her the glass of water. With just one gulp she drank it all.

"Thank you." She said

"So tell me what happened." I said

"I don't want to talk about it, yet." She said

"Okay. I'll just be downstairs." I said and stood up.

But she grabbed my arm.

"What?" I asked

Then she suddenly pushed me in the bed, and kissed me.

Then the door suddenly opened. And it was my girlfriend.

*End of Recall*

After what happened I tried to exlain to her but she drove away.

Then I heard a news that she's in the hospital.

Me and Grace arrived at the hospital. Grace and Ella's dad talked about something and I went straight to her room.

"Ella, are you okay?" I said barging in.

"Um, who are you?" She asked

What? Does she had an amnesia or she's just pretending?

"Jake I need to talk to you, outside please." Ella's dad said barging in with Grace.

So we went outside.

"Jake, I don't want you to tell Ella that your her boyfriend? Okay? Not now, she has a temporary memory loss if she tries to remember something it will become prrmanent. I don't want to know what had happened between the two of you, just make an excuse or something, just make sure she will not know about your relationship. But I kniq that it's your fault that this happened, if anything happens to my daughter, I'll make sure she'll never see or remmber you ever again." Ella's dad said

"I prom-"

"I don't need your promise, I just need you to do it. Okay?" Ella's dad said cutting my sentence.

I just nodded.

We went inside.

"Sir can I talk to your daughter?.. alone." I asked

"Sure but only a few minutes Jake and don't tell her about what had happened." Ella's dad said

Grace and him left leaving Ella and me.

"Ella, I'm your bestfriend too, just like Grace." I said

She smiled.

Even I don't want to lie or pretend to be her bestfriend. I had to, for her. For now I have to hide my feelings for her.

Pretending to be her bestfriend, is much better than being a stranger.

"We three have been bestfriends since were little. And please Ella don't try to remember it." I said and she nodded.

I tried to make up stories that are believable ofcourse so that her curiosity will not grow.
