Triplets (j.s.)

Chapter 6

Adeline POV

"i was wondering if you could tell me why you were trying to commit suicide, if that's okay with you," jacob asks. jacob was a pretty nice kid. he brought me back into his car so we could sit and he could let me cool down.it was a very nice thing to do because i really didn't want to be by myself right now.

"um yea," i sniffle, "i saw my boyfriend kissing my best friend at a party. once we arrived he was already being rude. i asked him to not drink tonight since he was the driver, but he just kind of went off on me. he left me once i got inside so i was alone. i talked to his brother for a bit before i went back into the party, looking for my best friend to take me home. i then found her talking to my boyfriend saying that i'm never going to find out and then they both made out."

that was very hard for me to tell him. just thinking about the memory made me want to cry even more. she was my best friend and he was my boyfriend! i always knew they were close, but never this close. maybe that's why he got his brother to pick me up instead of himself. maybe him and hayleigh had a thing then too, but i just never caught on.

"well, i understand it's heartbreaking to see your best friend and boyfriend make out right on front of your own eyes, but why would you decide to jump off a bridge? i get your going to be sad, don't get me wrong, but something else must have wanted you to kill yourself," jacob says as he looks me straight in the eye. this kid was good at catching on. he already knew so much about me all from this, so i might as well tell him.

"this is hard to say, but im suicidal. i have depression and i cut. just seeing them do that to me added on everything else that was wrong in my life," i tell him as i start to take off my leather jacket, showing him my right wrist. he carefully grabs it and inspects it closely.

"why do you cut?" he asks me in all seriousness.

"i have no purpose," i tell him.

"if you had no purpose, then how come you were put in this world in the first place? god put you here for a reason," he assures me as he looks up from my wrist.

"ever heard people say 'everyone makes mistakes'? well, god made a mistake by putting me on this planet," i say as i pull my wrist away from him, sliding back on my jacket.

"adeline, don't think like that. please don't. i know you're hurting a lot right now and it must suck. even though i just met you, i dont like seeing you like this," he tells me truthfully.

i let out a small smile. 

"can we step outside?" i ask.

"sure," he replies back as we both get out of his car. we both walk to the front of his car and i immediately pull him in for a hug. he wraps his arms around me and rests his chin on the top of my head. i lay my head on his chest, hearing his heartbeat. I could stay in this position forever. i've told him so many things that not even austin or hayleigh know. i have a good feeling about him.

Asher POV 

I push past all of the drunks, looking for my brother. I was gonna ask him about what happened with him and adeline and make sure everything is okay. i go up the stairs and roam down the halls seeing hayleigh and austin laughing together. i walk up to them and start to talk.

"hayleigh, i thought you were taking adeline home. you were back pretty quickly," i say and look at her with a confused expression.

"i never took her home. i was talking to austin the whole time," she answers me. 

i shift and turn my body towards austin, "do you know where she is? you were kind of hard on her when you guys arrived here from what i've heard."

"i haven't talked to her," he answers me.

"she isn't here though," i tell them, starting to get worried.

"guys, we have to go find her," i say as i grab their wrists, heading down the stairs and out the door and into my car. they both get in as i start the car, pulling out pretty quickly. we get out of the neighborhood pretty quickly. as im driving i look in the rear-view mirror and see hayleigh and austin holding hands as they look out of the window.

is that why adeline left? because austin broke up with her for hayleigh?

i look to my right and see a bridge. i see two people hugging in front of a navy blue car. and one of them look like adeline.

"i see her," i say as i start to pull over. i park rather quickly and get out of the car faster. i walk over to the both of them and split them apart.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU HUGGING HER?" i yell at the guy who was hugging adeline.

"ASHER! STOP!" adeline yells and goes over to the guy.

Adeline POV

"ASHER! STOP!" i yell at him as i walk back over to jacob. i look behind him and see hayleigh and see a very pissed off austin.

"What the hell are you doing with MY girlfriend?!" he yells as jacob.

"look, i just found her before she was ab-" i cut off jacob before austin and asher knew what i did.

"what the hell were you doing kissing my best friend?!" i question.

he stands there in shock, not knowing what to say.

"and by the way, this is jacob," i tell them as i stand up tall next to him.

"we were just leaving," i finish as i get into the car. he gets into the driver's side and starts up the car. he gets on the road and the last thing i saw was hayleigh standing next to austin and holds his hand.

"so he's a twin?"

i sigh.

"triplet, actually"
