Lost In His Eyes - Jakob Delgado

Chapter 26 - Don't

CARA'S POV:

As we neared closer to Jakob's house my hands became sweaty and my stomach began to feel queasy, something I have never experienced before seeing Jakob.

I had to be strong and stand my ground with him but am I really that strong?

"I love this song, turn it up.", Mikaila squealed, making me lose track of thought.
"Jakob said you liked this song too apparently", she said directing the question at me as she turned around in her seat.

"Yea I do", I replied back, forcing a smile upon my face.

"I always knew you had the best music taste out of the boys and their friends"

"mm not too sure about that", I giggled a little.

"Well I am."

The song then finished shortly after Mikaila stopped talking and the rest of the way over to their house was just full of radio presenters talking and ads.

As I lifted my head to look out the window I noticed we were now on their street, Jakob's house coming into eye sight faster than I ever thought possible.

The weird feeling in the pit of my stomach was getting bigger and bigger the closer his house got.

"Here we are.", Jakobs dad, Leo said as he pulled into the driveway and hit on the brakes.

"Thank you", I said as my hand begun to shake whilst I opened the side door, grabbing my bag as I did so.

"No worries."

We then made our way up to the front door, Leo waiting by it until I was inside.

"Mikaila can take you up to your room if you would like", he then said.

"Thank you", I replied, before following Mikaila upstairs.

She led me into the spare room where I dropped my bag and set up my stuff before starting to make my way into Mikaila's room. Whilst we were walking she stopped at Jakob's door and knocked before going in, pulling me softly along with her. The smell of Jakob then filled the air making my cheeks heat a little as I took it in. I missed him but..

"Cara's here", Mikaila said as I lifted my head to find Jakob's, his eyes instantly meeting mine.

"Cara..", he started before I cut him off.

"Um I'm just going to go finish unpacking", I said turning to Mikaila, ignoring Jakob entirely.

"Oh ok, no worries", she said back, her eyes flashing between Jakob and I.

I then put on a fake smile and began walking to the spare room although I was stopped by an arm grabbing mine.

Jakob.

"We are not doing this again.", I said sternly trying to avoid eye contact.

"We won't and we aren't. Just Cara come on. Your going to be staying with me for a while and ignoring each other isn't going to work.", He said as he tried to move his head so that his eyes could meet with mine.

"It seems to working just fine already.", I said faking a smile.

He paused for a while before sighing, "Don't."

"Don't what?"

"Don't be like this.

"Don't be like what Jakob? Don't be angry that your boyfriend cheated on you? Don't be angry he lies to you?", I swallowed hard before continuing. "You know what forget it, your not worth it."
