The trip that changed my life // Jacob Sartorius

Chapter 8

As Mark and I are hanging out in his living room he gets a text from Jacob.

"Jacob wants to come over" Mark said looking up from his phone.

"I don't want to see him right now. I'll hide in your room for a bit don't be to long."

I went up into marks room. I turned on his t.v and watched an episode of greys on Netflix. After one 45 minute episode was done I was wondering if Jacob had left.

I went to the stairway to listen in on their conversation because Jacob was still here.

"It was only a dare why did she get so mad?"

"Dude I mean thinks got heated pretty quick. Do you even like Maddie?" I heard Mark say.

"Yeah I mean she's hot but she's kind of a bitch. At least you got Nadia."

"Yeah I got lucky there."

"Look I really think you should back off of her though. I really have a chance with her and I like her."

I can't believe he said that. That was a bitch move. And to Mark? His best friend?

"No I will not back off of her. I like her too. And I have as much chance as you have." Mark said for himself.

"Look Mark we aren't having some good understandings lately. Maybe would should take a break." Jacob said finally.

"Whatever man. But if you want Nadia don't be a dick to her and make out with girls in front of her."

Jacob got pissed off by that because his knuckles connected to Marks jaw, then gut. He kicked Mark to the floor until I ran down the stairs and he stopped.

"What the hell Jacob! Don't beat Mark up because he said something that's true!"

After that Jacob walked out of the house raging with anger.

I helped Mark up and comforted him. There was no blood luckily but there were bruises that we're going to form.

"Mark I'm so sorry, I caused this."

"No. Don't say that. You didn't cause this. Jacob. Jacob did." Mark said with tears making his eyes glossy.

I snuggled up to him because it's all I can give him right now. Comfort.
We fall asleep together on the couch.

My alarm on my phone woke me up for school. Mark didn't wake up yet so I used his bathroom upstairs to redo my bun. I realized I didn't have my toothbrush so I grabbed a mint from my pocket.

Luckily I keep a mascara in my backpack usually for after gym. I applied some fresh layers. And I grab my outfit for the day. My white jean shorts a tank top that says 'on fleek' and a blue flannel. I found a necklace in my backpack and put it on. {in the media}

I go downstairs and Mark made a nice breakfast. Pancakes and waffles with fruit and orange juice. We ate our breakfast and I thanked him. As he got ready I stayed downstairs on Instagram and snapchat.

I usually get on the bus with Jacob but I would be getting on the bus with Mark today. The bus gets Mark first then Jacob and I.

Before we leave I put on my white low cut converse. They were my favourite shoes but they were getting really worn out, I should probably get some new ones.

Mark and I wait for the bus and it comes in 2 minutes. We get on with a few whispers and stares. We sit beside each other then, Jacob gets on alone. He gives both of us a glare and sits alone in the back.

As we get to school we go to our usual group. Nick and Joseph were there today too.

The day went on as usual, Mark and I didn't say a word to Jacob. The end of the day Mark was at my locker waiting for me.

"Want to finish decorating your room?" Mark asked.

"Of course. Save me a seat on the bus."

"Okay." And he went outside to the bus.

I packed my bag and was heading out the doors when I ran into Jacob.

"Can we talk about this?" He pleaded.

"What's there to talk about? You making out with that slut Maddie?"

I had second thoughts about saying that because we were becoming friends. I turn around when someone taps my on the shoulder and I get a swift punch in my gut by Maddie. She started kicking me to the ground.

I grabbed her heels not caring how much they were and snapped the heel right off.

By that she started crying and screaming saying they were "800 dollar designer shoes." I didn't even fucking hurt her and she starts crying over shoes.

I get up to see some cuts and scrapes on my knees but I go to the bus with everyone staring at me even my bus driver Don.

I see Mark and I sit with him.

"I think everybody saw that." He said.

I just cried into his shoulder all the way home and didn't notice Jacob say across from us until it was our stop. Mark, Jacob and I all got off but this time Mark walked into my house, not Jacob's.

Mark and I started unboxing some pictures and things I had in my old room.

We put my bed in the middle of my room. We took two night stands and put them on each side of my bed.

My last room was flower themed so I had this giant flower thing. It was pink but Mark and I went outside and spray painted it with gold that I found in the garage.

I found two gold lamps that were in my parents room back home. I put black shades over them and put one on each night stand.

I put a rod and curtain above my bed to give it a touch. I put a few things on my nightstand like pots with a few flowers in it and books.

My chair that was already in my room I put beside the nightstand with books so I could read. I found a few pillows in the last boxes and we were done.

I loved my room and this is what it turned out to look like.

Mark and I were exhausted. But we were proud and accomplished. We fell asleep snuggling each other in my new room.
