Pick Me.❥// Jacob Sartorius

hunter...

[ right when the music starts playing start reading!]

Throughout the week Jacob and i start hanging out more. And by more I mean every day after school and on the weekends.

Hunter doesn't talk to me as much and I start growing closer to Jacob.

One day after school I get a text from Hunter.

H: hey can we talk?

B: yeah what's up?

H: I don't think this long
distance thing is working.

B: ok..?

H: so I feel like we should take a break.

B: take " a break"
or break up?

H: I think we should just
take a break.

B: well we might as well break
up because taking a break won't help.
I text you everyday good morning and
goodnight but you never text back.
I call you almost every day after
school but you never answer.

H: I'm sorry Brook.

B: sorry won't fix anything.
But what I've been
meaning to say is we're  done.

I turn off my phone as soon as I send that.
...and i immediately regret it.

I rip off my necklace and throw it on my desk.
A few minutes later my doorbell rings.

"Come in!" I yell knowing it's Jacob.

" where are you?" He calls out.

" my room. " I say.

He walks in and can tell that I'm not okay.

" what's wrong?" He asks.

" ...well... I broke up with Hunter.." I say.

" oh.."

Silence.

" so why'd ya come?" I ask.

" to tell you something.." He mumbles.

" what? I mean my day can't get any worse. "

" well.. I asked Bella out today." He says.

I gulp.

" ..and she said yes."

I can't get any words out so I just nod.

" is that okay..?" He asks.

I nod again but this time with tears in my eyes.

Silence.

We both sit silently in my room.

My phone buzzes.
I ignore it.

Hunters personalized ring tone goes off.
I ignore it.

He calls again and I answer.

" what?" My voice cracks.

" I don't want it to be this way. " he says.

" yes you do. this is what you wanted." I say.

" well I didn't think I'd feel this way."

" bye Hunter-" I start to say.

" wait." He says.

" what?"

" I love you."

I hang up.

I'm crying.
I forgot Jacob was in the room.

I curl up in a ball and dig my face into my knees.

" you...should...go." I say in between sobs.

He waves with a sad smile and leaves.

I sit crying on the floor.

My phone buzzes and I grab it.

Hunter posts on Twitter:
Not having the best day😞

I know he'd never see my comment so I go ahead and comment, "me too".

I lay on my bed and wonder why I'm so sad.
I dated Hunter freaking Rowland.
And I'm best friends with Jacob Sartorius!
Why am I sitting here crying?

I have the best friends in the world and I'm all alone grieving.

I wipe my tears and text ally to come over.
She comes within 5 minutes and vent to her about everything.

" i don't know what to say..." Ally says.

" today's been going "great" for me." I sigh.

" yeah I noticed. "

I walk to my desk and grab my necklace and slowly put in back on.

I grab my phone and text Hunter, goodnight💤
And for the first time in a while he texts back,
goodnight🌙❤️.
