Tortured Soul

Chapter 14

(Max's POV)

I woke up to my phone sounding off because I got a text. I looked at my alarm clock and it read 6:30. Annoyed I grabbed my phone and unlocked it.

(J-Jacob, M-Max, A-Adam)

J- went for a walk. Don't know when I'll be back.

I started to write a text to Jacob

M- can you let me know where you are please? I want to know you're safe.

I was about to hit send when Adam texted me.

A- Jacob's with me, don't worry. He's okay.

M- okay thank you. Why is he over at your place?

A- he's dealing with emotional things right now about... y'know... what happened to him.

M- oh... well... please comfort him  Adam since I can't when dealing with this situation of what happened to him.

A- don't worry Max. I'll treat him like he's my own kid. I'll bring him back when he feels calmed down.

M- you're the best Adam.

A- don't remind me lol. I'll see you later Max.

M- see ya, and tell Jacob that I love him.

A- sure thing.

I put my phone down and laid in bed. I began to think of the old times, when I first adopted Jacob. Those were the good times, now our lives have been one crazy rollercoaster ride with a lot of ups and downs. There hasn't been a steady time when things were normal for us. It's been one event here, and another there, I wouldn't be surprised if another was right around the corner.

I continued to reminisce on the old times until my alarm clock went off at 7:30 AM. Reluctant to do anything, I got up anyways and got ready to take a shower to wake myself up.

(Jacob's POV)

I opened my eyes slowly, taking in my surroundings. I remembered I went to Adam's because I had a panic meltdown. I turned my body and saw Adam still sleeping. I turned back around and got out of his bed. I walked into his front room and sat down on the couch. I reached for his controller to play smash but didn't feel any energy to do so. I brought my arm back to my side and just stared at the controller.

I kept staring at it like it was going to move or something. In matter of seconds I broke down right there. Tears falling from my face. I felt weak, useless, a waste of space, just some thing that has used up its usefulness and is taking up space. I brought my knees to my chest and slowly rocked myself back and forth. I reached in my pocket a brought out the stress ball that was given to me and started to squeeze it to help relieve me.

(Adam's POV)

I stayed silent just outside the room where Jacob is. I hung my head low realizing what is going on with him.

Jacob is going through depression.

btw I'm not depressed.

*alrighty I almost forgot to put a notification on this story. And you might be wondering, "a notification for what?". Well I answer that now! For those of you who liked the concept from book two (Elementals) the remastered version is now out! The prologue and the first TWO chapters are now out and I highly suggest you all go and take a look. And if you don't... I can't control what you do but I'd really like it if you would at least take the time to check out the prologue. That's it for now! Till next time, byeeeee!*
