You've Got The Glow (A Jake Miller Fanfiction) [Editing]

You've Got The Glow chapter 15

**NOT EDITED**
Chapter 15:
Jake's POV

***

Right now the music video is being shot for A Million Lives. There's only a few scenes done, but so far I can tell it's going to be great. It's going to put more of a story to the song, a better visual picture to be created. The emotions from the lyrics are literally being displayed in a video, and that's more than I could ever ask for.

On set I have my team, mom, dad, and sister. The seat next to Jenny is empty though. "Kayla" displayed across the back of the chair for everyone to see. Everyone to see that she isn't here.

After the argument Noah and I had shes been avoiding me. There's something in the back of my mind saying maybe she did choose him, but then my hearts saying she would never do that. I always knew Noah would be a real scum bag. I mean who makes their girlfriend choose between their boyfriend and best friend? That's just low.

"Jake!" Kayla's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. Wait Kayla? I look around for her, but I don't see her. "Hey Jake?" This time it's not her voice, but its Jenny's, "Are you alright? You seem a little lost."

Is it really that bad that I'm imagining other people having Kayla's voice? "Yeah, yeah I'm fine." I reply, shaking everything out of my mind.

The director came over and said, "I think that's good for today. We can finish the rest tomorrow, okay?"

I want to fight against it, but I just nod my head yes and walk out of the building. My minds drifting off to Kayla every second and I need it to stop. I get into my car and speed down the various streets until I reach my street and pull into Kayla's drive way.

Instead of knocking I just barge right in ignoring Mrs. Parkers hello, and go straight up to Kayla's room. Slamming the door open I find her on her laptop.

"Oh, hey Jak--"

Before she could say anything else I cut her off, "Dammit Kayla! I can't take it anymore! Why are you ignoring me? It's driving me crazy, your always on my mind and it's so damn distracting. Today I couldn't even finish my music video because of you! That empty chair with your name on it? That was eating away at my mind. The fact that you might've chose Noah over me? It's killing me inside. Just tell me what's going on, and whatever it is I want it to just stop."

"Jake I--"

I cut her off again, "No Kayla. No bullshit excuses, tell me what the hell is going on." By now I was fuming with anger. I just wanted answers, I wanted explanations to all of this.

She looked everywhere but at me and I could tell she didn't know what to say. It took her a minute to take in everything before she opened her mouth to speak.

"What the hell is going on here? I could hear you yelling from the basement." Kyle said barging in.

"Nothing." I replied glaring at Kyle.

He searched Kayla's face for any sign of disagreement, but found nothing. He glared back at me before leaving her room.

"Kayla, just answer me this, who did you choose?"

"I chose Noah." She said looking down at her hands that were fidgeting in her hands.

I stormed out her bedroom door and slammed it shut. I let out a big breath that I was holding. There was someway I had to let everything out, I needed my notebook and pen. But before I could leave I heard the faint words of the song Let Her Go in a flawless singing voice:

"Only need the light when its burning low, only miss the sun when it starts to snow, only know you love her when you let her go. Only know you've been high when your feeling low, only hate the road when your missing home, only know you love her when you let her go.

And you let her go."

Jenny's POV

From downstairs I could hear the loud sounds of something being thrown and hitting the floor. "Dad do you hear that?"

He nodded his head and looked up at the ceiling, "Sounds like its coming from Jake's room. Why don't you go see whats up?"

I nodded to my Dad and went upstairs to Jake's room. He's been really out of it lately and I'm worried about him. Sometimes all the fame is hard to handle and stressful, I hope it didn't get it him.

When I got to his door I could tell he was the cause of the noise. I knocked on the door and said his name, but he didn't answer. I tried again and he still didn't answer. Finally, I just opened the door and walked right in.

He was sitting at his desk with his head in his hands. "Why?" He asked, but he kept his head down, "What did I ever do?"

It really killed me to see my brother like this. He was never like this. "What's the matter?"

He shook his head and got up from his chair and started pacing. "I'm just a big screw up. I can't do anything, I'll never be anything."

His words aren't what broke my heart, it was the look on his face. The sadness and anger all in one look. Everything about him just screamed "I give up. I'll never be good enough."

"Jake, don't think like that. You have thousands of fans who love and support you and--"

"No Jenny!" He cut me off, "It's not about that. Its about her. Kayla fuckin parker. I'm not good enough for her, she didn't choose me. And I just let her! I let her push me out of her life! But that's not it either, it's the fact that she pushed me out of her life in the first place!" His voice was intimidating and furious, I didn't want to be near him when he's like this. He turns into someone he's not and he can't control himself.

This was probably the worst thing that I could've done, but I just walked out. I left him there, all alone, when he needed me. I'm pretty sure I just won crappiest sister award.

I knocked on the door to be greeted by Mrs. Parker, "Hello Jenny! Kyle's not home right now, but he should be home soon."

Kyle and I have become super close, he's probably my best friend. We always hang out so it made sense she thought I came here to see Kyle.

"Oh no, I'm not here for Kyle. I'm here to see Kayla."

She seemed a little shocked, but she told me to come right in and I would find Kayla in her room. Second door on the right upstairs.

I followed her directions and knocked on Kayla's door, "Hey Kayla, it's Jenny."

The door opened to reveal Kayla. If I thought Jake was a wreck, then Kayla was a complete disaster. Her hair was in every direction, she was in sweats and a hoodie, and the worst part was her mascara was running down her cheeks.

She also seemed surprised by my presence, "What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I came to see you. We need to talk."

Kayla opened her door wider so I could come inside her room. I took a seat on her bed and patted the spot next to me indicating I wanted her to sit next to me.

She sat down and faced me, "About what?"

"My brother." As soon as I said it her eyes got glassy again. I wonder why all of this happened. "Can you please explain what's going on? Jake wasn't very clear about it. And no offense, but both of you are a complete mess."

She just shrugged and said, "It's a long story, but me and Jake are no longer friends."

"I got time, tell away." I replied. I was getting really impatient with her. I just wanna know what happened so I can help. They both really need it.

She told me everything from when her and Noah started dating to the fight he had with Jake and how he told her she had to choose. Kayla explained how she picked Noah instead of Jake, and I asked her the question I was dying to know.

"Why? Why did you pick Noah?"

She let out a long sigh, by now all the tears were dry and I think she couldn't cry anymore even if she wanted to. "Because, Jake's going to become bigger and bigger. He's going to be busy, he's going to forget about me. I'll just be another girl standing in the crowd. Noah is here to stay for me."

I was debating if I should tell her what Jake thinks, but I can't exactly do that to him and betray his trust. He deserves to be the one to tell her what he thinks. Instead I settled for, "Jake can't just suddenly become the next Justin Bieber over night. As much as I hate to say it, he's going to be here for awhile. Do you really like Noah or is he just backup?"

She shrugged, "At first he was great, I really liked him. Then he started to change. Now he's a total ass and I have no idea why."

I gave her "the look" and she picked it up right away. She nodded her head and walked out of the room. A satisfied smile was on my face, I just helped my brother get his girl back. Who's the greatest sister ever now?

Kayla's POV

***

I stood outside his door and listened to the faint sound of his voice and the strum of his guitar.

"Here I stand in the cold. I try to knock 'cause you changed the locks now I'm all alone. Where am I supposed to go? If you are where my home is I guess that makes me homeless."

His voice was so empty and depressing, I hated it. I had to do something, say something, anything. I finally knocked on the door and took a step back. My heart was racing, my stomach had man-eating butterflies in them, and my palms were soaking wet with sweat.

"Go away Jenny, I don't wanna talk about it!" He yelled.

I took a step closer again and replied, "It's not Jenny, it's Kayla."

The door flew opened and he looked down at me. He looked so intimidating and scary. "Go. I don't want to see you."

"But--"

Jake cut me off, "Go Kayla! I don't want you here! Just go home!"

The tears that I thought were gone for good came back. I never wanted to cry in front of Jake, but right now this isn't him. He's locked deep down inside somewhere, he just won't come out and it's all my fault.

"I'm..so..sorry." I said in between sobs. I slowly backed away and then turned around and ran down the stairs and out the door. I heard his door slam shut from outside.

What did I do to him?
