His Miracle

Difficult Truth.

"Me? What have I done?" I ask Jane in complete disbelief.

Jake frowns deeply before glancing between Jane and I.

"What does this have to do with you cheating on Tobias?" Jake questions her with a hard edge to his voice. Jane glares back at him before her eyes flash with hurt.

"Tobias doesn't want me, okay? I'm moving on," Jane says before leaning further into Dylan.

My eyes practically bulge out of my head. What happened between Tobias and Jane to drive her to this decision? What does it have to do with me? None of this is making sense.

"Why didn't you break up with Tobias instead of cheating on him? This is going to crush him," I tell her. Jane's eyes snap in my direction before blazing with anger.

"I'm not talking to you! Don't act stupid... You know exactly what you've done!"

She yells before flinging out her arms with emotion. I step back and narrowly avoid missing her palm by an inch. Wow, is this the real Jane? She's kind of crazy. How did I not see this before? Jake immediately steps in front of me and his voice lowers to a dangerous tone. His first instinct will always be to protect me.

"Step back, Jane."

Jane's eyes grow cloudy with uncertainty and her new lover steps forward to defend her. He grabs onto Jake's arm in an attempt to move him away from Jane. Jake immediately stiffens and stares down at Dylan's hand like it's scorching fire on his skin.

"You have a second to talk your fucking hands off me," Jake warns Dylan.

He immediately drops his hand and regret flashes across his face. His confidence begins to crumble to the ground when he drinks in the anger radiating from Jake's presence.

"I don't want you to hurt her!" Dylan cries out.

Jake scoffs before rolling his eyes.

"Run along, Dylan. I have no business with you," Jake says quietly.

Dylan glances between Jake and Jane before deciding she isn't worth it. He turns around and begins running down the street faster than the wind. I snigger with amusement.

"Nice replacement you've found yourself," I joke with frustration.

She replaced Tobias with Dylan? The whole scenario is insane to me. Jane glares at me from under her lashes.

"Shut up, Emily. You don't know what you're talking about."

There goes the hatred for me again... What have I done? I stare back at her in confusion as I try to remember a time I may have accidentally hurt Jane. I've always been welcoming and kind to her. I've always tried to make her feel part of the family.

"I don't understand what's going on here," Jake says quietly.

Jane holds her hands up in desperation and her eyes begin to fill with tears.

"I was scared to break up with Tobias, okay?! I couldn't do it!" Jane yells out.

I fold my arms across my chest because that isn't an excuse.

"So you chose to cheat on him instead? Great move," I mutter.

"This is all your fault, Emily!"

She points an accusing finger at me and I stumble back with shock.

"W-what have I done?" I question her quietly.

Jane's eyes blaze with hurt, fury and jealousy. Her lip curls up with disapproval. When she speaks, her response causes Jake and I to freeze in place with shock.
