Where Were You ( A Jacob Perez Love Story)

Chapter 11

Jacob sat in his car infront of sonays house just thinking. He was debating on weather or not he should turn around and go home. He had got a little tipsy before he came, but he wasnt drunk. He took a deep breath before steping out of his car. He stumbled a little bit before regaining his balance. "mabey, I should go home" jacob thought to himself. He was nearly waisted, and not in his right mind. He could barley walk. But before he could change his mind sonyas door was swinging open. And jacob being incredibly good at hiding the fact that he had been drinkin acted natural.

"hey, sonya do you have a minute." jacob said, sounding.completly sober.

"ugh yeah, whats up" she asked opening her door for jacob to come in. he walked inside the house and took a seat on the couch in her livingroom.

"we need to talk" he said. Sonya joined him in the livingroom.

"jacob I know what this is about, what happened happened. It doesnt matter." She said waving her hand at the thought.

Jacob sat with a puzzled look on his face.

"so, everything is all good now. No weirdness between us right" jacob asked. Sonya shook her head.

"we're all good" she said.

"wow, that was easier than I though" jacob thought to himself. He stood to leave but suddenly everthing started spinning. He was hot, he felt sick, he was stumbling, and he just blew his cover.

Sonya went to his side to help him stand.

"jacob, you smell like a mini bar. Have you been drinking" she asked. "ye-yeah" he slurred after sonya sat him back down on the couch.

Jacob was sweating uncontrollably, and he knew what came next. He felt his mouth filling up with liquor he previously consumed. Hand covering his mouth, he jumped up from the couch running for the kitchen sink. Sonya followed behind him.

"jacob, are you okay?" She asked after he threw up. Jacob was begining to regret going into his liquior cabinate earlier. He just stood there. His hands resting on the sink to keep his balance. After not responding sonya grabbed his face, turning him to her.

"jacob, baby are you okay" she said, unconsciencely saying baby.

"i-i juss need ta lay down" jacob said sluring his words. He all of a sudden felt really tired.

"oh, okay come on" sonya said linking arms with him. She walked him as he struggled to keep his balance.

"i got you" sonya said trying her best to hold up him up. They went into a bedroom. Jacob saw the bed and layed right down." Im just going to lay intill my head stops spinning, then I will go home" jacob thought as his eyes closed.****

"ughh" jacob groaned in pain as the sun shown in his face through the window. Rubbing his eyes, he sat up. His head was throbbing. "i will never drink again" jacob promised himself. A promise that he knew he would break. The sound of keys jingling came from up the hall. He looked around and remembered he wasnt at home, but at sonyas. He had a little to much to drink last night.

"jacob, are you up" sonya yelled from what sounded like the kitchen. Instant headache. His head was throbbing.

"yeah." He said loud enough so she could here him, but not to loud so his head wouldnt hurt.

He got up from the bed he passed out on and slowly, but steadily walked up the hall. His socked feet shuffling agains the carpet. " hey where did my shoes go?" he absently thought to himself. Making his way into the kitchen he saw sonya standing infront of the island with bags on top of it. She turned to him as he took a set on one of the stools.

"goodmorning, here I got you some coffee and cresant sandwitch I know you need it." she said sliding the starbuckd coffee infront of him.

"thanks" he said taking a drink of the warm brew. He looked over at sonya who was staring at him from the other side of the island.

"i know, I know. I look fucked up" he said trying running his fingers through his tangled hair. Fail.

"no, I wasnt thinking that. Its just you look so diffrent when you first wake up" she said. He just shrugged his shoulders.

"oh, I want to apologize for last night. I honestly didnt know I had drank that much sorry." He said. He was kind of embarassed about what happened. Sonya just waved her hand at him.

"its okay. Im just glad that you didnt get a d.u.i or get into and acciedent on the way over here. So im good" she said sounding releved. Her comment got him thinking about a question thats been bothering him for a while.

"hey, can I ask you something" he said looking sonya in the eye. She shook her head yes.

He sighed.

"do you ya know, care about me still. Like if I were to die would you be sad." he asked. He needed to know.

"oh my god jacob, yes I would be sad. I've known you since I was 15 years old and you're the father of my children. I dont know what I would do if you died. Jacob dont even talk like that" she said sounding like she was getting emotional. Wow he never thought she really cared for him anymore. He thought that left when she did 6 years ago. He just shook his head taking it all in.

"what are you doing this afternoon" he asked sonay.

"nothing, why?" She asked.

With a smile he said, "well, ray ray is having a Bar-B-Que at his house and I dont wanna be lonely so I want you to go with me" he finished. Sonya looked like she was thinking about it.

"okay, what time" she asked

"1 o'clock" he said.

She shook her head approving of the time. Jacob just knew that today was gonna be funny. He could feel it.
