Falling...into the Dark.

Jake

I think today was one of the best days I have had in a while. She gives me so much of peace. She is beautiful...her eyes are enigmatic..her hair is the best feature of her. Everything about her is so gratifying.
"Hey man You're again sitting here alone with your drink and thoughts" Tony said as he sat beside me. We were In a club. I didn't want to come but Tony forced me to so I had to. Seriously who goes clubbing on a Monday night?
"Told you am not in the mood" I smiled sarcastically.
"Yeah you are drowning in Alice's thoughts I know" he smirked.
"Oh come on don't start with it"
"What? It's so evident man...you think I won't know?"
"Know what?"
"That you are falling for her"
"You're wrong...she and I can never be together"
"Why? She is a nice girl"
"Exactly..you answered your question"
"Come on Jake you're an amazing person..you can love.."
"Love? That's not for me"
"But Alice is...isn't she?"
I was quiet. I didn't know what to say.
"Okay seriously I don't have a reply to that"
"That says a lot" he raised his eyebrows.
"I need some air...am going home" I said standing up.
"When are you shifting?" Tony asked.
"I need to buy furniture and some stuffs first..then I will"
"Okay bro"

I walked out of the pub. In the parking lot I saw Bianca getting out of her car.
"Hey don't leave so soon" she said running her hands through my chest.
"You please start staying a little away from me" I said removing her hand off me.
"God Jake what's wrong with you?"

I ignored her and drove off. Things which I hated..which I feared..has started to happen with me. Maybe am tired. I'll just sleep it off...tomorrow it'll go away.

Alice
Morning

As I entered school today I felt a little guilty. I had bunked school yesterday. Come on Alice people do it every day plus you had such a good time with Jake...it was worth it.
"Hey Alice" I heard Max's voice.
"Hey Max"
"I kind of know the answer but are you going to the party on Friday?"
"Actually I am"
"Woah..that was unexpected...am surprised" he chuckled.
"Am surprised too" I giggled.
"So you are going with?"
"Umm Jake"
"Oh yeah of course...anyways will see you in the class" he said and walked off.
I felt a little bad but then he will get anyone to go with. There are many girls who want him.

"It was a tiring day" Mel said as we ate in cafeteria.
"Yeah..Mrs. Cooper taught a lot" I said.
"Oh fuck..I have her class next..am so bunking it" Case whined.
"Don't miss the biology class Case" Mel said.
"Unlike you I don't have Jake Brian in my class" she said sarcastically.
"Yeah but today his eyes were only on one person in the class" Mel said looking at me.
"Stop hallucinating" I said.
"And you stop avoiding" she said.
"What?"
"Whatever you are feeling"
"Oh please" I rolled my eyes.
"You saying that doesn't change anything" Case said.
"Case you too?"
"Yeah cause I can see how is Jake looking at you now" she said.
The bell rang thankfully.
"You both have gone mad" I said and walked out.
They are weird...just making up things..

Finally the last lecture was over too. I got out of the class. My phone buzzed. I pulled it out of my jacket.
Jake Brian- come to the parking lot.
Me- why?
Jake Brian- I'll tell you..come fast am waiting.

I walked to the parking lot and saw Jake waiting.
"Have a look at this" he said showing me a paper. It was his history test paper...there in the top was a big A printed in red ink.
"Great congratulations" I smiled.
"Yep you see now you're not the only A in my life..jealous?" He winked.
"Yeah very much"
"Okay now get in" he said as he walked to the other side of his car.
"Where are we going?" I asked getting in.
"My apartment..I need your help"
"Regarding?"
"Everything that's needed to set it up"
"Okay let's see"

We drove for quite a long time. He parked inside a residential block called the eastland. His apartment was on the 7th floor.
"Here it is" he said as he turned the key of the door.
"It's beautiful Jake" I said as I got in. Even without any furniture it looked amazing. The glass walls gave such a perfect view.
"Can I take a look around?"
"Sure baby doll...all yours"
I went inside the bedroom. It was quite big. "I think the bedroom needs some portraits" I said scanning the walls.
"Anything you say.." he whispered into my ears.
Chills ran down my spine again..I moved away immediately.
"Umm let's see the kitchen"
"Sure" he followed
The kitchen was quite well spaced. I opened the cupboards and drawers.
"You have nothing in here...when are you shifting Jake?"
"Thats why I need you baby doll...help me with all these stuffs"
"You are planning to buy everything?"
"Yes"
"The furniture too?"
"Yes"
"Thats lot of work"
"I know"
"I'll help you...tell me when?"
"This Saturday..if you're free"
"Oh yeah...sure"
