Song of Chapter: Hold Me: Janine and the Mixtape ft. Pusha T

"I didn't wanna wake up.
I was having a much better time asleep.
And that's really sad.
It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved.
But I woke into a nightmare."

Chapter Two
Jake

I heard that Tris had woken up, but I didn't dare to call her and ask how she's doing. Because I know that she'll be asking lots of questions. Plus, how could I tell her about Audrey? Audrey and I had been together since the month after Tris had fell into a coma.

It wasn't really easy moving on, but I've had a doubt that she'll wake up so I just moved on. Now she had woken up apart of me wanted to talk to her and the other half just known that I shouldn't.

I feel like if I tell her, her heart will break. Audrey kissed my cheek.

"Hey baby how was your day? I heard your high school sweetheart had woken up from her coma" She said like it was nothing. I stiffened when she said "Your high school sweetheart".

"Oh she did? That's amazing" I said lying and acting like I didn't know already.

"Maybe you should give her a call and see how she's doing or maybe we could visit her" She quietly said while shrugging her shoulders.

"Maybe." I said quietly

I looked at my phone, staring at Tris's number. Trying to figure out what to say. Also wondering if I should call or text.

I decided to text her.

I know you're awaken from your coma and I'm very happy you're awake. But there's some things you should know. I waited for you, well for like a month. Then I met Audrey, you can probably guess what's next. She's my girlfriend and I really like her. I'm sorry Tris, you deserve better than me anyway. I'll always love you.

Tris texted back five minutes later.

I can't fucking believe you Jake. I hate you. I should've known, Why did I think I actually had a chance? Why did my dumbass think you would actually wait for me? Don't worry. That was my mistake for thinking that you were that trustworthy person. But you're in love with someone else. Audrey. Never say you'll always love me because that's a lie. Because you're just crushing my heart into pieces. Just leave me alone.
Goodbye Jake.

Tris
I couldn't stop reading what our two message conversation was. Audrey and Jake. No more Tris and Jake. So many questions. A tear slipped down my cheek, I wasn't as worth it as I thought I was. I smiled sadly and sniffed. Memories flashed into my mind.

"Jake honey close your mouth you will catch flies" I said. He recovered and closed his mouth.

"Whatever but you look hot" he said I blushed I tried to hid it. Jacob lifted my head up with his finger.

"Don't hide its cute" he smirked I rolled my eyes. We drove to school I was listening to songs on my phone with my beats headphones there white. Once we arrived I took my headphones off and left them in the car. Everyone was looking at me or Jacob. It felt like everything was in slow motion.

"Tris" Steve called he pulled me to his side and intertwined our fingers.

"Steve please let go" I said trying to get out of his grip. But this time Jake wasn't in for my rescue. He just stood there and walked away. I sighed as I watched him leave.

I was quiet the whole day lunch I didn't wanna eat. I starting to fall for him.

One of our first moments. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. A new chapter, a new beginning. Tears poured from my eyes and I smiled sadly. Tris and Jake was gone.
