Hope

Chapter 12

» Jace's Point Of View

"How's Bla- How's Anderson?" I ask Aaron when he came out to the back of Eve's Restaurant.

"She was crying hysterically. . . You guys seem like you have such deep history, did you love her when we were 14?" He ask.

"How is she now?" I ask, ignoring his question.

"She's knocked out, I am going to send her home." Aaron sighs, "she love you for four years, Collins." He stated.

"I will send her home." I told him and walk into the restaurant.

"Jace--" I cut Eve off by putting my finger to my lips.

I pick up Blake in my arms, and her head lay on my chest. I left the restaurant, Aaron following behind. He opened the passenger door seat and I set her down.

"She will be fine, her family and I are close." I assured the guys and Eve.

"We know," Eve nods and started crying.

"Why are you crying?" Cameron put his hand on her back, "it's so sad." Eve whimpers.

I wave goodbye and got into the driver's seat and drive back to her house.

I stop in front of her house, the lights were still on. I look at Blake who is deep in sleep.

I put my hand on her cheek, caressing lightly with my thumb. "I am sorry, Blake. Please understand. When we were 14, I could've ask you out or something.. But then you told me you were leaving. You came back, and I realize I still have feelings for you. But we're both leaving this time, for college. I love you more than anything in the world." I kiss her lightly on the forehead and got out of the driver's seat.

I stood out for a while and took a deep breath. I then walk up to the front door and knock several time.

"Jace!" Alex looks at me with surprise, "did you find Max?" I ask.

"Yeah, he's in bed." Alex nods, and furrowed his eyebrows at me, probably wondering why I am here.

"Blake is in the car, she's asleep. Please do me a favor and not tell her that I brought her home?" I requested.

Alex simply sighs, "sure thing, Jace. Thank you for bringing her home safely." He pats my back and went to get Blake. He got Blake on his back, "geez, you sleep like a pig." Alex groans. I wave goodbye to Alex and got back into my car.

What about Diana, Jace?

"Hey sleepyhead, it's time for school." Alex shook me awake. "Is Max home?" I ask.

"Well, good morning to you." Alex rolls his eyes at me. "He is home safe," Alex assured. "Where did he go? How am I here?" I ask, panicking a little on the inside.

"He went to the playground... Aaron's mother brought him back." Alex explains and sat on my bed. "Well, Max and I went to fetch you from Eve's restaurant. You were sleeping like a pig, and I carried you up the stairs and throw you down."

"Who kiss my forehead?" I question, putting my hand over my forehead. "What are you talking about? It's probably the wall that kissed your forehead. Your head hit the the door frame once and you still didn't wake up!"
