Dusk Manor

Ch12: Carter Grey

-Denice's Pov-

Morning came and I was just as distracted as usual. Shay didn't say much to me this morning when we woke up but I was fine with it because it was such a big thing to tell and I know for a fact it's going to be a while for all that to sink in with Ray, me and Shay. But another part of me wants to see him again because I want to know what he meant about me being the one. Like what does he mean by that? I kept thinking to myself maybe it's just a random feeling or something I just kept over thinking it and it was making me wondering what he meant by it all. I was so desperate right now that I needed to see him no matter what the consequences are I bet Ray will help me cover my scent up again since she did yesterday.

But then I remembered that feeling when I first touched him, how he jerked back, then I seen light blue lines, orbs or whatever it was all over my hands. It was crazy so I went to talk to Jake about this entire thing since his dad used to do descendant history. It was just before our last class before lunch came when I seen Jake and that girl walking down to the class entering it together.

I rush past Ray and her friends and see Jake sit down on the other side of the class when I rush over with my binder dropping it next to his, quickly sitting down before that girl sat down.

"Excuse me." She urged looking down at me. Jake glared at me but I quickly looked away from him and looked back up at the girl in front of me.

"I just need to sit with Jake this class. I need to talk to him. Than you can have him all you want afterwards." I replied. She bit her lip and grabbed her binder walking away from us to find another seat which was far away but I didn't care. Her actions got me so mad but I pushed it aside and turned to face Jake.

"Denice what are you doing? Kit Kat was sitting with me today." He said, with his eyes as big as apples. He actually looked serious and scary like I didn't even do anything bad but take her seat.

"Wow, you guys have nick names now." I angrily said which was oddly weird because why was I sounding like this.

"In that case we do, why do you care?"

"Back up here Jake, what's with the attitude here?"

"It's not only me. It's you too Denice I'm only acting like this because of you." He replied turning away. Mrs. Alexander wasn't in class yet so this gave me my chance but Jake wasn't cooperating with me.

"What are you talking about? Are you making me jealous with her?"

"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. What's it to you?"

"What did I do to you for you to avoid me like this? I never did anything wrong Jake." I questioned.

"Nothing. Never mind." He whispered not looking at me. I reach for his forearm and said,

"Tell me, because I need to know. If I did something wrong I want to fix it. Jake you're my best friend and I want to fix what I did." I whispered back. He looked down at my arm than back at me with his eyes so soft. He slowly moved my hand away and tucked his arms underneath the table. I watch his movements only getting hurt by them. But I tried my best to push this feeling away because this wasn't what I wanted this to be. I needed answers and he was my only hope.

"You hurt me yesterday. You pushed me away when I needed a friend. I told you my secrets, my family history which only you know about, I felt alone and I told you how I felt about being abandoned and you did that." He replied looking down at his hands. I felt terrible but at the same time I didn't know about his problems. He seemed fine yesterday morning.

"I didn't abandon you Jake I kept that promise. I never pushed you away either what makes you think that?"

"When you chose Ray to be you're partner. I felt like we drifted and you barely said anything to me yesterday and when I needed a friend you weren't there. So Kat came to help me out. Dee, I liked you so much and I thought I was going to end up with you. You being mine but I don't think I want that anymore. Or any communication because you hurt me." His words hurt me deeply inside it felt horrible as he made me feel like I was worthless. Just because I chose a different partner for one class he decided to think I pushed him away. It felt stupid now that I think of it but it hurt me deep inside and at this point i felt my eyes water now when he looked up at me when I bite my lip.
