believe me

Tuesday

Cloe's POV

I'm slowly getting tired of keeping all your secrets.

That sentence was what kept me up all night. Reaching for my phone I turned off the alarm while rubbing my eyes exhaustedly.

It sounded bad but was it a no?

To avoid facing the boys, I woke up early to get home before school started.

As I got ready, I left the dorm with Yoongi's black hoodie around me which radiated some type of support.

After being at home, I made my way to school, taking a special path this time to avoid any unwanted encounters. Along the way, a bad feeling was crushing my heart by leaving the boys' dorm wordlessly. After all, they took good care of me but the risk of Jungkook spilling my secrets was too high to actually stay.

Earphones were plugged in my ears to keep my surroundings as far as possible from me but still I had a strange feeling about the situation. As if someone was following me.

Didn't sleep enough.

Just a few minutes away from school, I suddenly noticed a shadow in front of me and turned my head quickly to be shown a dead tired Jake grinning at me.

"Jesus Christ, Jake! Don't you dare to scare me like that!"

He just laughed and came closer.

"It's not funny, my heart almost jumped out of my chest and ran away on its own!"

"Would it run to me?"

Jake was now really close to me and he seemed different than usual, more tired but there was something else.

"What?"

I snapped at him half annoyed half questioning.

"I need to tell you something."

He grabbed my wrist and dragged me behind a corner into a small alley.

"Can't it wait? School is starting soon or tell me on the way there."

I suggested trying to get rid of his grip but he wouldn't let me go.

"No, I've waited too long to say that."

"Fine drama queen, spill it but let me go first."

I pointed at my wrist, signaling him to let go but in the next moment he took both of my hands and pressed me against the wall behind us.

"Jake?-"

"I like you."

He leaned in closer to my face, our noses were just inches apart and his beautiful blue eyes were staring into mine.

"What?"

I managed to stutter out as my mind panicked.

The red haired male broke the eye contact between us and his gaze slowly trailed down to my neck.

"I like you, a lot."

Jake breathed against the skin of my neck.

"I always did. Let me touch, just once."

He started planting light kisses on my collarbones. I was too shocked to move.

"Jake, what the fuck?!"

I tried to yell but my voice was just a dull sound, still enough to catch his attention as he lifted his head back up to face me.

"I love you."
