*Beth's POV*
I keep running, faster and faster.
Then, I, oh so gracefully, trip over my own foot and start to fall on my face. I know, I'm so graceful I could be a princess. Right before my face makes contact with the ground, a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist and steady me.
I turn around and my eyes lock with a pair of gorgeous blue eyes, Jacob's.
"Hey, were you crying," His voice was laced with concern.
"N-no," I answer with a lie.
"Don't lie to me. What's wrong?"
I don't answer. Instead, I turn my head so that I'm not facing him.
He wraps his arms around me. I turn back around and bury my head in his chest. He just stands there, holding me while I cry into his chest.
Finally, he speaks.
"What happened?"
"S-She k-knows," I reply.
"Who knows what?"
I try to answer, but I'm crying too hard. Jacob guides me to a bench, and we sit down. After I calm down, I answer his question.
"Kaylie knows about my parents."
He looks at me, the shock apparent on his face.
"Oh my god! Beth, I'm sorry!"
He wraps me in his arms again.
We just sit in a peaceful silence for what seems like hours.
"I know it's probably really inconsiderate of me to ask this right now, but did you mean it when you said you liked me," Jacob asks.
"Yes," I answer him.
"Well, I know that you have so much more in your mind right now, but I think I could help get your mind off things. Do you think you'd give me a chance?"
"Are you sure asking me out," I ask, stunned that he actually wants to go out with me.
"Yes I am"
"Are you sure you actually want to go out with me?"
"Positive," he says.
"Okay."
"So, Beth would you go on a date with me?"
"I would love to."

So, I'm just going to end it there.
I want to apologize for the wait. I know, I suck.
I've been taking forever, and I'm sorry. I've had a lot going on and a lot on my mind.
Oh! And I'm sorry it's short. I didn't have much inspiration for this chapter!
Anyway, I'm sorry, and thanks for being patient....well, if you were patient.
Bye!
