Falling For The Opposite

32• I Need You

I need your love

I need your time

When everything's wrong

You'll make it right

I feel so high

I come alive

I need to be free with you tonight

I need your love

I NEED YOUR LOVE

Ellie Goulding & Calvin Harris

Jacob's POV

With Ana's graduation coming up, she's very excited and happy. I still didn't tell her that I'm not in school. I used to go but I stopped in the 11th grade. The guys thought it'll be better that way.

As much as I don't want to tell Ana, I know she deserves to know. Especially since she's trusting me again. I don't wanna lose her or her trust. I need her more than anything.

We met up at her house to watch movies, order pizza and just hang out. She isn't that sappy movie type of girl, she wanted to watch something scary. We decided to watch Drag Me To Hell.

She ordered pizza and I popped the kettle corn. Her family were all in different places so it was just the two if us. The perfect moment to confess.

"Ana I want all our secrets to be told so I have something to tell you..." I start. She looks at me with a confused expression.

"Er...uh...what?" she asks.

"I...you see... I lied about being in school." I blurt. Her eyes widen and she looks a little upset.

"Why didn't you tell me? And wa-why not?" She asks.

"School just wasn't for me. I'm not smart. And my gang and I bot thought that I was better off instead of making myself look like a complete dunce." I explain. "I didn't tell you soon because I was...afraid...that you wouldn't like me since ya know...I was dumb."

She walked over to me and quickly slapped my cheek. I was shocked completely. Shit.

"That's for not telling me." And then another slap. "And that's for thinking you're dumb and not good enough for me." it was quite funny actually. To see her like this.

Then she rested her hand on my cheek. "I understand you. But you don't need to feel that way around me. You should've told me. I'm not judgemental or stereotypical. But I think you should finish school." She says.

"Oh no, I can't. I'm 18." I say.

"GED." She says calmly.

"Ana, I just...I can't. I rather just get a temporary job." I say. She glares at me without saying a word.

"Promise me you'll get your education. Then a job." She says. I look into her eyes. I never fall for that. But the thought of losing her just tied my arms behind my back.

"Uh...um...we'll see." I say. She cheers and kisses my cheek.

"Good. And...I'm going to college in Syracuse." She says softly. What?

"What the fuck?" I ask.

"I...Im sorry. I should've told you. I just...it was so long since we spoke and I..." she trailed off. No fucking way was this happening to me.

"Jacob I'm so sorry." she says. I stay quiet and just stare blankly at the wall behind her.

"Jacob." she says, shaking me. She chants my name a few more times before snapping me out of my trance. Am I gonna lose her...again?

"Ana you can't go. I...I need you." I say.

"As much as I want to be with you, I just can't give this up. I can't lose this chance." she says.

"Ana." I say.

"Can we...discuss this later? I don't feel like crying right now." She says. All I do is nod. Am I'm losing the love of my life again? Why did she always manage to slip right through my fingers?

••••••••••••••••••••••

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Ana going away to college? Leaving Jacob alone without anyone to love? Ahh stupid young love! But how sad is that?

Anyway, this book is ending real soon and I'm thinking about making a sequel. I honestly don't know what to make the sequel about. So if you give me ideas or persuade me to right a sequel, I'll consider it. So work your magic because I'm PRETTY hard to convince. So get to work people.

Ta ta!
