JAKE'S POV
It was Monday morning and my alarm clock just HAD to wake me up a 5:30 am... I looked over and almost forgot that Eric had gone home that Sunday night. I crawled out of bed and reached for my phone. I dialed Eric's number only to recive his cutesy voicemail.
"Eric bitch! I can't get to my phone because you aren't important enough to recieve any of my time... Just Kidding! But I am busy so Leave a message!"
*BEEP*
"Hey Eric... Do me a favor... WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!" I hung up the phone and texted Cally to see what was wrong with Eric... He always answered the phone...
"Cally, why won't Eric answer his phone?" A few minutes passed before she answered...
"Jake... I think you should come over... NOW..." Fear passed over me.
"WHATS WRONG?!!"
She didn't answer... I felt wet, hot, salty tears stream down my face as I slid my t-shirt and jeans on.
I ran to Cally's with tears increasingly blurring my vision. I burst into her house to find her curled up on the floor of her living room... Crying..
"Cally... What's wrong?"
"I... I tried to stop him.... I tried so hard... He... He... No... He can't be..." Cally slurred in between her sobs..
"W...Where is he?"
"He's upstairs... I... I brought him here.... Please... Tell me he's okay.... Tell me he's okay... Please..."
I ran upstairs to find Eric on the floor of Cally's bedroom. His hands covering his face... The blood running down his arms.... He was crying...
"How could I be so stupid Cally? How? I can't kill myself... I can't... It would upset Jake... I love him... Cally... I love him.... I love him more than anything in the world... I don't want to hurt him... Cally... I'm so goddamn stupid... I let shit get to my head... That he doesn't really love me... That he's just messing around... You know what I mean? Like this is all some fucking joke to him..." He sat up and leaned against the wall... His eyes still closed... I walked closer to him.. I sat a few feet away from him so he wouldn't know...
"Eric... Why on Earth would you think this is all a joke to me? That I'm just messing around? I love you... I love you more than anything.. I love you more than life itself... I love you Eric... Don't ever doubt for a minute that I don't... Because I do." Eric looked up and tried to hide his arms...
"Hey.... Stop..."
"I broke your promise Jake.... I'm sorry..." I ran two fingers over his freshly made cuts. Tears streamed down my face... I cupped his face in my hands and kissed him... He kissed back gently and softly bit my bottom lip making me moan and laugh... He smiled and pulled me closer.. I picked him up smiling and carried him downstairs.. Cally looked up and smiled...
"What are you doing?"
"Carryiing Eric down here."
"Why? So I can watch you two make out?"
Eric and I laughed.... I winked and kissed Eric's nose. He snuggled his nose into my neck and laughed. I sat down holding him while Cally cooed in Awe...
"YOU TWO ARE SO CU-UTE!!"
I flipped Cally off while Eric laughed... I whisphered in Eric's ear..
"Please don't cut anymore... Baby, please..."
"I won't Jake... I love you.."
"I love you too."
