Lost In His Eyes - Jakob Delgado

Chapter 23 - Spoke too soon

JAKOBS POV:

"Sorry for what", a voice said from behind me before I could get a chance to speak myself.
I quickly snapped my head around to find no other than Grace.

"What are you doing here?", I snapped at her, my hand still leaning on the wall next to Cara's head. All when I thought we were getting somewhere, Grace had to show up.

"I heard about your mum and thought you would want some comforting..", she trailed of as she bit her lip and pulled on the top of my shirt.

"How did you find me?", I said trying not to raise my voice too loud as the nurses made their way past us.

"Mmm that's a secret."

"Seriously how did you know I was here?"

"Ethan told me you would be here but...."

"That prick", I said under my breath as I cut grace off.

I then turned back around to find Cara gone, panning my eyes up and down the hall, I spot her walking towards the exit.

"Cara", I yell, not caring how loud I was now. "Stop."

She wouldn't listen so I had no choice but to grab her wrist once again.

"Get off me Jakob", She said whilst raising her voice. Whilst doing so she tried to pull away from my firm grip but I wouldn't let her get away this fast.

"Cara I didn't...", I began before she cut my off and turned to look at me.

"What Jakob? Are you going to make up some bullshit and say you didn't invite her here or that she just happened to show up? you know what save it. You know what you are?", she then paused for a moment to gather herself. "Your a fucking hypocrite you know that. You walk around thinking you can do whatever you want. Telling me that I shouldn't be inviting other guys here when you go ahead and invite Grace yourself. So really I'm not the bad guy in the end and to the think I would ever be sorry for bringing Ethan here was stupid.",  she then tugged one last time and her hand slipped out from mine before she made her way up the hall and out of the door.

I just stood watching as the door opened and close, her cries still heard once she had left the building.

"So you ready for some comforting?", Grace said from behind me, interrupting my thoughts.

"Get lost Grace.", I snapped. "What happened can't happen again. Ok?"

"Give it time and that won't be your answer.", she said before pecking the side of my lips. "See you soon Jakob."

So many different emotions were running through me at this point. Guilt, fear, loss, sadness, curiosity, all in which making my head spin. I couldn't physically get myself to move from that spot in the middle of the hallway. I have stuffed up badly and I don't know how I am going to fix it. It was all hitting me now, everything was.

CARA'S POV:

As soon as I pulled away from Jakob's grip, I ran out the exit door and hid behind a brick pillar around the side of the hospital. The tears were coming out faster and faster, my breathing becoming heavy and hard to control as my head became the worst of it. The constant throbbing was driving me insane and my eyes were starting to sting.

I then pulled up my legs to my chest before leaning my head down. The feelings running through me are indescribable and are quite frankly making me feel sick to my stomach.
"why me? why cant there be anything good in my life?", I said under my breath.

"Cara?", a voice called breaking my thoughts.

I tried to make myself as small as possible to make sure no one could see me but I was too late, I had been found.

"Ethan?", I said trying to clear my eyes from the tears as I could see a tall figure before my eyes.

"Yes it's me. What's wrong? What happened?", he then paused for a moment before continuing. "Is it your mum, Jakob?..."

"Both", I said before he could finish guessing.

His face then became unreadable as he made his way next to me, crouching down to my level.
"I'm here now, talk to me", he said whilst wiping my eyes from tears. "or if you would rather not right now I am cool with that too."

"Do you think we could just sit for a while", I said, tears still falling from my eyes.

"of course. Now come here", he said opening his arms, letting him wrap both of his arms around me as he pulled me into his chest, stroking my head whilst doing so.
"everything is going to be alright, just remember that. No matter what happens we will get through this."
I squeezed him tighter as I leaned my head on his chest. My sobs slowly dying down as the warmth and feeling of Ethan comforted and made me forget about everything for a while.
I could feel his soft hands make their way to the side of my cheek, his fingers so warm as they slid down past my lips to my chin.

"Thanks Ethan. Thanks for everything.", I finally said looking up at him as my head still rested on his chest.

I think when I said there was nothing good in my life, I spoke too soon.
