Vine Love-Book One

Chapter 18

I stood there for a while, staring as Jacob ran down the streets. The whole school watched the scene. Then the hard truth hit me: Jacob just broke up with me. He hated me now. I blinked and realized that I had to follow him. I began to run down the streets.

"Jacob!" I shouted. The rain blurred my vision and I kept on slipping every other step. "Jacob!"

I finally ran to his house. I pounded on his front door repeatedly. "Jacob, open the door now!" There was no reply. I pounded harder. "Jacob, please!" I spent five minutes pounding on his door, rain pouring down on me. I stopped; he wasn't going to open it. I began to cry even harder. I had lost Jacob for good. After five minutes of crying on his front door step, I turned around and walked home. When I stepped in the house I kicked off my shoes and ran up the stairs, ignoring my mom saying, "Hi!"

I slammed the door to my room and leapt onto my bed. Even though I was soaking wet, I didn't care. I lay there crying my eyes out. I screwed up, big time. I should've told Jacob from the start. I shouldn't have have waited two months before we were moving. Because I was stupid, now Jacob dumped me and probably hates me. He won't even say goodbye to me when I leave. I heard my mom pounding on my door, shouting, "Honey, what's wrong? Open the door!" I didn't care. My best friend was gone and there was no going back.

I don't know what motivated me to get up, but I did and went to school the next day. When I arrived at my locker, I was relieved that I didn't see Jacob. I was slightly surprised, although I don't know why, to see that there wasn't a blue sticky note from Jacob.

"Well, he doesn't like you anymore." I told myself. I sighed and opened my locker and headed off to class.

I was glad that Jacob wasn't in my first class. I told Becca, who was in my class, about what happened between me and Jacob.

"I'm sorry," she said hugging me. "Even though you should have told him earlier, I loved you two together and he shouldn't have done that."
Unlucky for me, Jacob was in my second class. When I saw him sitting in his normal spot, I almost wanted to sit next to him. But I chose a seat half way across the classroom. I didn't look at him the rest of class because I knew that I would start crying if I did.

The day was boring without Jacob in it. But I knew that he hated me now. I felt depressed without him. After the final bell rang and I was heading out the front doors of the school, I saw Jacob talking to Becca twenty feet away. I couldn't hear what they were saying.

Then Jacob saw me watching them. He turned back to Becca, grabbed her, and kissed her. Her eyes widened, so did mine. I felt my cheeks become warm and my eyes sting. I ran away from them, tears spilling out. I couldn't look at them any longer.
