The Pain I see Is The Pain I felt

Jake's Pov#

I washed all the grime and dirt off of my body and out of my hair. I stepped out of the shower and shook my hair free from all the water and wrapped a towel around my waist. I looked in the mirror and for the first time in months, I have been able to see what my face actually looks likes, a person's appearance does change in a few months, I stared at myself for a few minutes before getting changed. I was going to just wear shorts but you know, cbf. (can't be fucked)

I walked out of the bathroom and down the stairs, careful of my socks on the tiles as I walk into the now messed up kitchen.

''What is going on?'' I ask, confused as to why dinner is all over the ground plus the guy Chandler caked in egg, flour and who knows what else. They stop as soon as they spot me in the doorway.

''He deserved it'' Bekky says seriously with a hint of a smile on her face. Of course this was said at the same time Chandler said-

''She started it''.

''Okayy... let me know when you guys are done, I am keen for a movie'' I say shrugging my shoulders before walking off into the living room.

Bekky's pov#

''Is it even possible to hate you so much'' I screech at Chandler in a whisper as soon as Jake leaves the room.

''Dude we just spent the last five minutes throwing food at each other and laughing our assses off, is that your sign of hatred towards me?'' He asks cockily with a smirk. I was tempted to walk right up to him and tear it off myself.

''I wish I never met you'' I say under my breath leaving to walk out of the room in a fit of rage towards Chandler.

''Then why do you love me?''. I stopped in my tracks. How the hell?... I only told him once! He wasn't even paying attention.

''What did you just say?'' I sneer as I turn back around and march up to him, he was still sitting on the bar stool facing the kitchen counter.

''You said it twice, once when we first met and the other time when you were drunk-'' He began before I cut him off.

''Wait I have never been...'' I trail off, remembering the time Katelyn and I were trying to take our mind off things and decided to get smashed, I did she didn't. I remember nothing from that night. Nothing at all. Oh god, what did I do?

''What did I do?'' I ask in a serious tone, not caring if Jake could hear us now or not.

''It was quite funny actually... your way of coming on to me I mean'' He says with a hint of humor. Glad I amuse him in my drunken state.

''We didn't, did we?'' I ask seriously yet again. He better not have the little-

''No, chill'' He says stepping off the bar stool.

''Wait, why are you telling me this? Is the whole point here is to make me feel bad? To get some kind of twisted pleasure from this or something?'' I ask angrily, crossing my arms over my chest.

''The world doesn't revolve around you miss-'' he begins before I step towards him, ready to slap him. He stopped talking and sighed, lowering his head. Then for some strange reason he grabbed his head and yelled in frustration. What is going on? The next thing I knew Jake was in the kitchen laughing.

''Way to go Bekky, put him in his place-'' He begins to chant before I cut him off.

''This is serious'' I said calmly, not letting Jake's comment get to me. Chandler however glared at his rude remark and then bent over groaning in frustration. What was wrong with him?

''Chandler'' I say seriously, trying to get his attention.

''My head'' was all he complained.

''Jake get Andrew immediately, he'll know what to do'' I hurriedly say to Jake as he slowly nods. He walks out of the room and quickly to the front door. The door slams shut and my focus is back on Chandler. Was he in pain?

''What's going on? Please tell me!" I yell at him. Then I shook my head, that probably just made things worse for him.

''Please I'm sorry-'' I begin before he finally raises his head. There were tears in his eyes. He looked hurt, almost broken... What happened?

''What is it?'' I ask, moving closer to him, still leaving space between our bodies.

''Chandler?'' I ask again when he doesn't respond, this time I reach out to touch his shoulder. He shrugged off my touch. I try again but this time he grabbed me by both of my shoulders and forcefully pushed me into the wall. It hurt, I wasn't going to lie. I wasn't angry he did it, something was going on... It's like he wasn't even on planet earth. Didn't stop the fear of him hurting me again to rise though.

''Chandler! Please stop!'' I begin to cry in fright. My arms were up in surrender.

''Everyone always blames me for being the monster, knowing ever blames the world who made me one'' was all he cries out, he was full on sobbing now.

''What are you talking about?'' I ask him sadly. He just wrap his arms around my waist and buries his head into my shoulder, crying silently. The front door bursts open and multiple pairs of footsteps are heard.

''I'm so sorry'' he mumbles only loud enough for me to hear with sincerity. I just hug him back, wrapping my arms around his neck. Andrew, Jake and Danai make their way into the room with worried expressions on their faces, all except Jake, he looked lost.

''What happened?'' Andrew asks worriedly rushing over to us. I shake my head, he stopped and noticed how Chandler was practically holding onto me for dear life.

''I don't know'' I say shaking my head. Chandler's grip tightened but it was comforting him... and me.

''Look Andrew there is another thing'' I say. He looks at me confused and so does Danai.

''I know why Katelyn was kidnapped'' was all I needed to say. It took a few seconds to realize what I said to transfer into their minds. Chandler held onto me, rubbed his face into my shoulder a couple of times.

Everything is going to be okay...
