Tortured Soul

Chapter 15

(Jacob's POV)

My sobs grew quieter as I calmed myself down. I stopped squeezing my stress ball once the tears stopped falling from my face. I heard something move in front of me and I looked up to see Adam. He was giving me a sympathetic look from across the room. I looked away from him not out of embarrassment, but out of guilt.

"Jacob I-"

"Save it Adam." I cut him off.

"I understand I'm going through a lot and that you all are here for me, but I'm still hurting. Still hurting from the scars that 'Max' gave me, from the pain inflicted upon me. I've been trying to heal but I can't. These emotional scars are too deep to mend fully. I don't ever think I'll recover but you should know that I'm trying."

"I... I don't know what to say." Adam muttered.

"I wouldn't expect you to know what to say Adam." I said coldly.

"Jacob. I know you are hurting and I've been through the same situation you are in."

"Really! You think that you have gone through what I have!? I've been kidnapped three times! Nearly killed three or four times! And during the recent kidnapping; raped, abused, punished, and tested like a lab rat. I have scars to prove my point! They may heal in the future but there is one in particular that will never heal!" I shouted at Adam.

Adam was surprised from my outburst. I let the rage subside and the hurt started to fill in again. I curled up in a ball once more and started to cry. Adam walked over and was hugging me. I latched onto him and cried into his chest.

"Shhh. I know I haven't gone through exactly what you have dealt with. I was saying that I've gone through depression as well." Adam said trying to calm me down.

"I-I'm s-sorry A-Adam. I didn't mean to yell at you" I said between sobs.

"It's okay Jacob. It's okay."

I know what you all are thinking... "an update!!! FINALLY!!!" And I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I haven't had time to write anything when I had ideas. And when I had all the time in the world I didn't know what to write. So here's an update for you all, I hope you enjoy.

Also if Max were to have a kid... would you want it to be a girl or a boy? And also comment down some names for the kid. (It's for this story)
