11. Lets Dine

Jake's POV

Way to go matten!

They put my dad into the back it the cab. Glaring at me as I smiled a big smile. Katie. I look back and see Katie with a sorrowful look.

"Sweety"

She glances at me and pries a smile into her face.

"I'm sorry." I apologize

She walks up to me and grabs my hand pulling me close, whispering, "I'm sorry" and kisses my lips softly.

My mom is standing there with tears rolling down her face, her makeup is raining down her face. I kiss Katie on the forehead and ask her to accompany me. She follows me through the police talking to my brother.

"Mom."

She looks at me with disappointment.. I drop my head. It was the right thing. I keep telling myself, he's the bad guy not me. I did the right thing

"Please. Look at yourself. Look at what's happening. I didn't do this to our family. Please don't blame me. It's not my fault" my voice cracks at the end.

My mom kisses my forehead and walks away to her room. My head drops and my breathing increases heavily. Tears are strolling down my face. Katie puts her hands on my face bringing us eye to eye.

"She's heartbroken Jake. She doesn't blame you. All a mom wants is her family to be together. It's breaking right in front of her face. She just needs space". She had a point I know. I just can't stand her being hurt.

Just then officer Matten calls, "Jake! Where is your mother?" He looks up rubbing his hands over his face, "upstairs." Matten walks up the stairs

"Sherry? It's Lincoln. Are you okay?" He knocks on the door. She opens it and he walks in she closes it.

Katie's POV

Jake...his family is a mess. "Jakob, come" I motion my hand to the den. "Yes?" He follows.

"It's almost 9pm, would you like to watch a movie or play some games I have a couple hours left. We could go out or stay in? Anything?" I ask pressing my lips.

"Come with me" he grabs my hand and navigates up the stairs. He stops by his moms rooms and hears her laughter, lets out a breath of relief and smiles, continues to his room and through the door shutting it behind him.

He stops and stands there with a huge grin on his face. I look side to side and back at him laughing. "What?"

"Sit" he insists.

"Right here? On the floor?" I ask with a confuse tone.

"Mhm" he says smiling

So I sit right there in the middle of his floor crisscross apple sauce. And he walks to his window and back to his closet rummaging though. Back to his window, under his bed "close your eyes" he says

I close my eyes and feel him walking around me stumbling. I chuckle "don't laugh at me" he laughs. I seal my lips. He closes and then reopens  the window. Moving thing around his room. It gets darker and then a small light appears. What in the hell is he doing. I hear him walk out the room and run down the stairs.

I'm not gonna peak. I'm not gonna peak! I hear stumbling back upstairs  and a slam of the door dropping stuff in the floor.

"Okay! stand up slowly and open your eyes."

There are blankets thrown everywhere above us strung across the room from the closet to the window do wall tacs holding blankets to the walls. He built a fort. Every boys has an inner child inside them I laugh to my self looking around. There's a lantern in the middle of us and plates of food on a small coffee table with wine glasses and a bottle of sparkling cider.

I look up at him and smile "this may not be a five star restaurant but I'd like to dine with you" putting his hand out.

"This is amazing. I would love to dine with you on this fine evening" I take his hand, sitting down.

It's been a while but here is the 11th chapter. I love all pm feedback! It helps me to Continue to write.
