The Not So Desolate Life of Skylar Brown (Slow Updates)

Guy problems

Chapter 7

This whole Jake thing is stressing me out. I love Zeke with all my heart, but, there's just something that I like about Jake, something...I can't explain. I would never leave Zeke, I love him, he's the only one for me. I repeat this in my head many times. Ugh, I don't know what I should do. I'm silent on the way to Nancy's place. I'm driving and the radio is really loud. Zeke is singing along to some song and he keeps looking over at me.

"Sky?" He asks me. "What wrong?"

"What? Oh nothing, just excited to go back home." I say with a fake smile. I can tell he doesn't believe me. I feel my phone vibrate, I look at the screen and it says:

Jake: Hey, are you on the plane yet? with a heart emoji after it.

This stresses me out even more.

"Sky, I know that you like Jake." He says with a sigh. I swerve on the road.

"What? Why would you think that?" I ask really wanting to know his answer.

"I saw when he kissed you Skylar, I know you didn't want to hurt me." He says

I feel awful right now. I never wanted me and Jake to be a thing. I never wanted Zeke to almost die. I never wanted to have there be anyone who could ruin my relationship. I...just want to go home. I feel the tears run down my face. I start to breathe heavy. I see a restaurant an pull over to the parking lot. We sit there in silence for awhile.

"Zeke, I never wanted to kiss Jake, he kissed me. I love you and only you!" I start to get louder. "Zeke please, I don't want to leave you for some guy I met in a hospital. A hospital I was in for almost two weeks waiting for you to recover. I could've left Zeke, I could've let you stay there by yourself, but I didn't because I love you."

"Yeah, you could've." He says quietly. "And I love you for that. But what I don't get is why you didn't kiss him back." He finishes. I'm shocked, why would he wonder that?

"Why would I? Why would you ask that?" I say still shocked.

"Skylar Rae Brown, you are the prettiest girl I've ever met, why you're with me I don't know, but I'm glade you are. If you kissed him back I would understand. He's probably living a normal life, with friends and people who care about him. He way better looking than I am. You could have any guy, and if you left me, I would understand. I've had a lot of disappointment in my life, but it would be hard to have you leave." He stops a second. "What I'm trying to say is, that if you want we can be friends and you could date any other guy. I just want you to be happy." He finishes, I can tell that he had put thought in to this.

"Zeke, I don't want to leave you, I really love you. Nothing can change that. Please just believe me." I plead. He looks at me with his dark sad eyes. He leans toward me and kisses me. We sit there kissing for awhile. "Did I kiss better than Jake?" He asks me with a smile.

"Way better." I say laughing

"I love you." We say at the same times. We both laugh big laughs. I know he doesn't fully believe me but I will change that. Nothing will ever change my love for him. Nothing...
