Triplets (j.s.)

Chapter 16

adeline pov

everything started to come together now. asher must have winked at jacob after we kissed. jacob didn't want me to meet jax ace because jacob himself is jax ace...

the whole gym is silent.

i look around in disbelief, trying to think of what's true and what's not.

so did this mean asher never liked me in the first place? that i was one of his games? and did this explain how jacob beat up austin ever so easily?

i look at jacob first, then leading my eyes towards asher and back at jacob.

"how come you didn't tell me," i say just below a whisper to jacob. he crouches down towards me and tries to place his arm around me, but i jerk away.

i had given into jacob too easily. i let him know so much about me, yet i didn't know anything about him.

"adeline-"

"jacob, just stop," i tell him. i get up and notice everyone is still looking at us.

"just take me home, please," i whisper to him. he nods back.

"stay right here while i go get my bag," he says and runs off in the distance. i look back at asher and see him smirking.

jacob quickly runs back towards me, making me take my attention off of asher.

"one more thing then we can leave," i tell jacob. he looks at me confused but then i turn around and grab asher's shoulders, kneeing him right where the sun doesn't shine.

he immediately covers his hands over where i kneed him and falls over. i hear snickers coming from fellow people that were listening, along with a jacob trying not to let out a couple of laughs.

"i would do the same to you but i wouldn't be surprised if it didn't affect you with me not knowing what you're capable of," i truthfully tell jacob and walk out of the gym, hoping he would follow me.

otherwise if he didn't, i would look like a lunatic.

i open up the doors, feeling the fresh air crawl up my nose in delight. i take a right and start to look for jacobs car.

"um adeline, my cars the other direction," i hear jacob say.

"well there goes me looking like a bad ass," i mumble to myself as i turn on my heels and head towards him.

we arrive in his car and i make my way to the passenger side before he can open up the door for me. i hop in and make myself comfortable, also trying to give him the cold shoulder at the same time.

he gets in as well and buckles himself up, but doesn't start the car. i know he's looking at me, but i look out the window anyways.

"adeline, im sorry," he admits. i could feel the sorriness in his voice, but i refused to let him in.

"please believe me adeline. i wanted to tell you, but i didn't think you would accept what i did. i didn't want to loose you," he pleads. sorrowness  is in his voice, making me just want to tell him that i'm sorry.

but i refuse.

"please say something," he begs. but i start to think. this is probably a personal thing that no one knew about. and i have a secret that no one knew about as well.

no one knew why happened to my brother.

"i shouldn't be mad at you," i say lightly. he looks at me with a confused expression.

"adeline, you really should be mad at me," he replies. i look at him and feel a warm, salty tear run down my face.

"i've been keeping a secret from you too," i whisper. jacob just gets out of the car as i put my hands over my face, crying into them.

suddenly my door is opened and i'm being picked up and out of the car by jacob. he shuts my door and opens up the back door. he sits in the back seat, placing me on his lap. he shuts the door and splays his legs on the seats as he's leaned up against the door. he cradles me in his arms which seemed like hours, yet it only was a couple of minutes.

"jacob, i really need to tell you my secret," i manage to get out. he runs his fingers through my hair, waiting for me to go on.

"i've never told you about my family, about how my life is a bigger disaster than what it is. you'll be the first person to know about this. i think hayleigh knew a bit but i'm not for sure, i don't remember"

"i used to have a great life. me and my brother would get along and same with my parents. we all loved eachother very much."

"my dad had joined the military, leaving all three of us behind. it was hard, not being able to see him. but we tried our best to make one another happy."

"my mom, she was never a drinker. she hardly ever drank. i only say her drink about once or twice. but a month after my dad left, she became drinking regularly."

"me and my brother were miserable. we had to take care of ourself because our mom was drunk and didn't know half the stuff she was doing."

"i knew it affected my brother, but i didn't know it affected him this much. i came home from one of my friends house and went straight to my room. i tried calling him into my room, but he never would respond which was weird and unlike him."

"jacob, i came into my room and saw him lying on the floor with a bottle of pills."

jacob hugs me even tighter than before, but i wasn't done with the story.

"my brother - he left a note. a note for me. i didn't know my mom was here until she barged into the room and saw him lying there on the floor with me beside him. she looks at me with disbelief and walked out."

"later that night, i found out my mom drank too much and passed away. she drank the strongest of liquors she could find and drank to her death."

"my dad knows, but he still hasn't come home. i don't think he can come home and see where his wife and son passed away. i haven't seen my dad in 2 years and 3 months"

i pull into jacob and bury my head in his neck, sobbing and sobbing. i hear him shushing my, attempting to get me to calm down. i feel kisses being planted on my temple, hair, and forehead.

i start to calm down a bit after words and soon enough he's talking to me.

"what did the note say?" he questions.

"i never read it. it's still sitting on his bed, waiting to be opened"

after spilling to jacob about my life story, i started to comprehend that we all have secrets.

we all have promises.

we all have tricks.

and most of all, we all have people that we don't plan on falling for.

and i think i just might be falling for jacob.
