Rachel's pov
Jacob's been acting really strange lately.He keeps ignoring me,especially when I try to ask what's up with him.I've also been getting bullied by a lot more people because of it.The only one that really hurts is Jacob though,because I care so much about him and how he feels.
At school
"What's up with you today?Huh?Got a problem with me?"Spencer uttered.
Spencer is the bully of the school,but even though Jacob doesn't go to my school,he protects me. Not today. Spencer knocks my books out of my hand.Abbey and Carson are at Disney together.I'm happy for them,but sad at the same time.
As I get home
I just run straight to my room and cry.My mother comes in and helps me out though.I tell her everything.As she leaves,though,I still have tears welling up in my eyes.Then they burst out when I look outside to see Jacob.I can see straight into his hazel eyes,even though his window is a little bit to the side of mine and at a diagonal from the way his house is shaped.His eyes say "torture","sadness",and are yearning for help-from me.They soon become glassy with tears wanting to be set free from them.I know he's not doing this on purpose.Someone has to be making him.For some reason.I'm putting all of my trust into this boy,and I know that it's the right decision.I love him and I know he loves me too.I can't stay mad at him.I slowly say the words,"I know that this isn't your choice.Someone,for some reason is making you do this and it's not okay.I trust you,Jacob."He nodds,not saying a word,and quickly makes a kind and gentle heart sign with his hands,just so that I could see it before he turned away,eyes welling up with tears just like mine.
