A Hand To Hold

Chapter 5

You and Jacob go into the closet and Hunter closes the door.

Jacob: "Earlier you mentioned that you cut yourself." You blush.

You: "Y...yea."

Jacob: "Y/n, umm...can I see your scars?"

You: "Oh..okay. But, why?" You show him your scars and he gently takes hold of your left wrist. You watch him as he individually kisses each scar that you have. He does the same to your right wrist. He was so focused on kissing your scars and you were so focused watching him, that neither of you realized that Hunter had opened the closet door and everyone was staring at you two in silence. You are both startled back to reality by Blake clearing his throat. Jacob stands up then offers you his hand to stand up. You accept his offer and grab his hand (you are a known klutz, so of course, this happens) but you trip over the air (that's right, you trip over the air) and almost fall over. Jacob catches you in a dip motion then twirls you up and wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you tight.

Loren: "Aweee!"

Boys: "Eww!"

Loren: "Grow up you little girls!"

Everyone laughs then sits back down to play T.O.D. After awhile the game was forgotten and you all fooled around until it was time for everyone to leave. Jacob offers to walk you home and you don't object. You two walk to your house and he grabs your hand. He intertwines his finger with yours and you do the same back to him. You reach your front steps and Jacob walks you up.

Jacob: "Thank you for coming to my party y/n, I had a great time with you tonight."
(What is this, a first date?) you ask yourself.

You: "I'm glad that you invited me Jacob. I had a great night with you too!"

He takes both of your hands in his and then they move to your back, then your waist, he leans in close to you...
