Story of a Victim [COMPLETED]

Part 31: Secrets

Sabrina's POV

"Jacob, we should tell each other our secrets. I mean, we are a couple and we have to get to know each other," I say.

"Sure. So are we just going to ask each other questions we don't know about each other or what?" Jacob asks. 

"That way sounds good," I agree.

"Okay, I'll go first. When I told you I was Conner, why didn't you believe me that I wasn't going to tell anybody?" Jacob asks.

It takes me a moment to answer. "You did bullied me, and you betrayed me, so I didn't fully trust you" I finally say.

"Okay, your turn," he says casually.

"Okay then. Um... how come when you came into class on the first day of 7th grade late you had a black eye?" I ask.

"Remember when I tried to... hurt you that morning?" I nod my head unsure. "Well my friends got really mad that I missed, so they beat me up, he admits.

"Oh, Jacob. I'm really sorry," I answer.

"It's the past, we both have mistakes, so let's get past it," he says.

"Okay. That's a good idea."

"Sabrina, when you woke up from that dream, what did you think was going to happen?" He asks.

"To be honest, I didn't know. I just felt something was going to happen in my gut," I tell him.

"That's weird," he says.

"It was. Now my turn.  How are you always so confident and don't worry?" I ask.

"I am worried, all the time. I just keep those worries out of my head and try to keep positive" he says.

"Huh. I never thought of trying that," I say.
"The bad thing about that is that I don't speak my opinions very often" he says.

"You sure about that?" I ask.

"Okay, maybe not always," he chuckles. I laugh.

We tell each other more and more secrets. It feels good to know about each other.

"Your- mid-dle n-name is Herbertski?!" I say in between my laughs.

"Yes," he sighs. I laugh again.

(Note that Herbertski is not Jacob's actual middle name, it is Jacob. His first name is Rolf.)

"Oh my god. I'm sorry. It's just, I didn't expect you to be a Jacob Herbertski Sartorius," I say calming myself down.

"Well that's why we're doing this," he says.

"I guess" I agree.

"Hey, it's 11, do you want to go to sleep?" I ask.

"Sure," he says. He lays his head on my chest while I stroke his hair. I soon fall asleep.

Jacob's POV

It feels nice to know more about Sabrina and it's nice to know she knows me better. I wake up at about 3 am, with Sabrina's hand still in my hair from when she was stroking it. I try to go back to sleep, but I can't. I quietly get up and looks around the room. I look at the pictures of us on the walls.

There's us riding our bikes without training wheels for the first time.
Us rolling in the grass.
Us making sundaes.
Us having a mud fight.
Us swimming at the pool.
Us playing at the park.
Us making a sandcastle.
Us just hugging and smiling at the camera.

What I did to her; betraying her and beating her. I don't understand why I did it. I was truly insane. I love her more then ever now. Nothing, no lie that anyone tells, no nothing will ever make me stop.

"Gosh, I love her so much" I whisper out loud. I suddenly feel a head on my shoulder.

"And she loves you too" Sabrina says. I smile. I turn around and wrap my hands around her waist. She wrap her hands around my neck. She starts to sing to sing softly into my ear.

You can count on me like 1,2,3 I'll be there. And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4,3,2 you'll be there. Cause that's what friends are suppose to do, oh Ya. Ooooooh, ooooooh, yeah.

That's are song now. It's a cheesy song but so are we.
