"Jakob." He whispers. I stare at him and my mouth opens to say something, but nothing comes out.
"He's not who you think he is."
"What do you mean?"
"He's only trying to get with you to get back at Chris...... Wait what am I doing. Im not even supposed to tell you." He shakes his head.
I can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. This isn't right.
"I-I don't believe you." I finally manage to stumble out. He raises an eyebrow. "You don't believe me? Or you don't want to believe me?" He takes a step close to me. I don't even know. Jakob is so.... I can't find the word. He just doesn't seem like the guy to do that to me.
"If you knew, why didn't you tell me?"
He stares at me. His two sides fighting over if he should tell me or not. "Because, he threatened me." He shrugs.
Lie.
I've known my brother, twin brother to be precise, since we both popped out of my mummy. I can definitely tell when he lies. But for now, I won't push him.
I give him a hard look, snatch my phone out of his hands and walk upstairs without saying another word. I just sit down on the edge of my bed, deciding whether I should call Jakob or not. I really want to know the truth, but i know asking him straight off won't help at all.
I take my phone and go into Jakob and I's convo. Slowly my finger seems to scroll up to our previous messages. 'Goodnight beautiful.' 'Trust me, you always look gorgeous<3' 'I can't stop thinking about you.'
I sigh. Was this all really a lie? The butterflies and snakes were just plain old fake? I really thought he was better than this. He distracted me from Chris and my hard time trying to get over him. He was there for me when Chris obviously wasn't.
Chris.
That name feels so.....distant. Different also. It held so many memories.
What happened to us?
This is wrong. I shouldn't of gone with Jakob. Well, I'm not exactly dating him. I don't even know where we are! Maybe this was actually all wrong.
Me and Jakob, we were inseparable.
Me and Chris,we were unstoppable.
Well until he decided to get over protective.
Should I text them? I really want to sort all this shit out. You know what, stuff my life, I'm gonna call them. First my finger hovers over Jakob's contact. Dial. I wait a few rings till he picks up.
"Hey Lara, what's up?"
"Nothing much." Actually, a lot. "We need to talk. Meet me at Starbucks in half an hour, 11:30pm." And with that, I end the call before he could say anything else. Now Chris. Why do I feel so nervous all of a sudden. This is gonna be awkward. I try calling him but it goes straight to voicemail. I keep trying but he's not picking up. Oh well. Yay for me, I don't have to talk to him anymore.
I meet Jakob in Starbucks 30mins later.
"Hey Lara." Jakob's face brightens up as I take a seat opposite him. "Uh hey.." I tried to cover up my uncertainty but as you can see, that completely failed when you heard the tone of my voice and the expression of my face. Jakob notices and i see a hidden frown slip across his face, but he quickly covers it up well , unlike me."Before we um talk, I'll go get us some drinks. What do you want?" I rush. "I'll have a Vanilla Frap, and don't worry about it I'll pay." He says as he is about to stand up. I gently push him back to his seat. "No I'll pay." And I walk off to the counter.
As I come up to the front of the line, I see who serves me. Yeah you guessed it. Isaac.
"Oh hey Isaac."
"Hey Lara.." He gently smiles. "Haven't seen you in a while."
"Yeah. I didn't know you still worked here."
"Now you do. In fact I got promoted to manager a few months ago."
"That's great." I smile.
"Yeah." Now it became really awkward.
"So um, could I get a venti Vanilla frap and a Pumpkin spice latte?" I finally ordered.
"Sure."
I bring back the drinks to Jakob and i's table and sit down. Now here comes the fun part.
Not.
Jakob looks at me with concern. "So what's up?"
"A lot actually. And surprisingly you're part of it."
