Nothing is What it Seems (BVB Fanfiction)

Chapter 16: Informed

(Jake POV)

I was in the middle of texting Ella when an unknown number texted me. I looked at it in confusion, then opened the text.

'Hello Jake, It's Ira, we met at the Rose Thorns an hour ago. I have an hour and a half to kill before my plane boards. So I figured we could talk until then. I know it may sound weird, but I had noticed that my crystal had changed it's color after I had met you. If Jinxx had told you as much as I think he has, then you may know what this means...anyway if you want to talk either reply back or call. If not, then I understand. '

I froze at the crystal part and stared. Her crystal changed?...but wouldn't that make me? ... may be it was someone else sh--no it can't be someone else she had seen or talked to...because our bare skin touched...and what I had seen afterwards...may be I should ask Jinxx about it.

I opened up the second text. 'Though I also understand that you're a musician in Jinxx's band, so it may be that you'll be preforming when you get this...or on your way to a venue to preform. Anyway, it was nice meeting you. I know I've probably put a complication into your relationship with someone else. So I understand if you don't want to hook up right away...okay I better stop typing and send this to you. From Peace.'

I want to reply to her, but I don't know what to say. What should I say to something like this? Just then I hear footsteps coming towards the bunk room with a knock to follow.

"SHIT!" I said. "I'm so screwed!"

"Jake, is everything all right?" Ashley's voice came.

"Y-yeah...um...could you get Jinxx for me please?" I asked as I went back to reply to whatever it was Ella had texted me earlier.

"Sure...Though what for?"

"There's something I need to ask him."

"Okay."

"Thanks." I say as I hear him walking away.

(Jinxx POV)

Ashley came walking back to the little kitchen area. "Hey, Jinxx...um...Jake wants you. He wants to ask you something." He told me.

"It probably has something to do with the Mystic that he just met at the bar." I said as I got up from my seat.

"Well, he definitely said he was screwed." Ashley said.

"All right, I'll see what I could help him with." I replied as I made my way to the bunk room.

Once I got there, I knocked on the door.

"Come in." I heard Jake say.

I opened the door and entered. "Hey, Ash said you needed to ask me something."

Jake sighed irritably. "Yeah, here...not sure what to do about this." he said as he handed me his phone.

It was opened up to a text message. "There's two little pages of the text...they're from Ira...the rare mystic..."he said.

I then looked and read the messages. I reread the messages then handed his phone back to him. I looked at him shocked. "Dude...a rare mystic is your true love. It's up to you if you want to pursue her or not...either tell Ella things aren't working out between you two or not. It sounds like Ira knows what she had gotten herself into. Though since her necklace turned pink, everyone that's like me will know she's taken by someone else and won't pursue her."

"Meaning what?"

" Meaning that she's going to have to wait until you're ready to be with her...as in after Ella is out of the picture." I answered him. "It's your decision Jake though. Either walk the single life again until you're ready to be with Ira or marry someone you may not be happy with for the rest of your life."
