Everyone just arrived at my house. Mark and Ariel are talking to each other, privately. Mario and I are just talking, and I told him about Jacob this morning.
"I think you should talk to him." Mario says.
"But why? He broke up with me! He is the one that said not to talk to him." I say angrily.
"Calm down. I'll talk to him, okay? I'll tell him not to talk to you and to give you some space, for now. Until you go to him." Mario says calmly.
"Ok thanks." I say as I hug him.
"Brooklyn! Come here real quick." Mark says.
Mario goes next door to Jacob's house when I walk over to Mark.
"Don't get mad about what I'm about to say. Okay? You got mad last time but this time it's a good reason." Mark says nervously, making me nervous.
"Ok." I say.
"You need to talk to Jacob. When we went to his house we yelled at him and he was confused, he told us some stuff and you should hear him out. You need to forgive Jacob." Mark says nervous that I'm gonna get mad.
"We would tell you what happened but you might not believe us. Go talk to Jacob." Ariel says helping Mark out.
I leave silently and go towards Jacob's house. Mario meets me in front of Jacob's house.
"Talk to him." Mario says and walks away before I can respond.
I knock on the door and Michelle answers. "Hey sweetie. Jacob is in his room, he's been sad about something. He can use some company."
"Ok I'll only be here for a little." I tell her and walk upstairs.
I quietly open the door so that Jacob doesn't hear me. I look inside his room and see him laying on his bed with a tear on his face. He notices me. "Brooklyn?"
"Jacob." He runs up to me and hugs me. I don't hug back. My eyes start tearing up.
"Brooklyn I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you! I wasn't even the one that hurt you!" He says crying.
I push him off of me. "What do you mean you weren't the one to hurt me? That's bullish-" I say getting cut off by Jacob's talking.
"Brooklyn! I don't have my phone still!" Jacob yells. He continues yelling, "I still love you! You didn't even let me explain! That morning that I left your house, on my way to Mark's I dropped my phone somewhere! I still haven't found it! I don't have my phone Brook! I d-don't have it."
Him yelling scares me. He doesn't have his phone? So someone found his phone and decided to make it seem like he dumped me. Wow.
"Jacob I'm sorry! How was I suppose to know? Don't blame me saying I didn't let you explain because the way that person texted me really hurt! I-I cut for you!" I yelled.
"What?"
