Triplets (j.s.)

Chapter 19

Adeline pov

school.

i hate it.

why you might ask? because i'd rather be staying home sleeping or being with jacob.

anything but this.

me and jenna were by my locker talking. it was currently lunch but neither of us were hungry since we went to IHop before school and had a big breakfast.

but i just also didn't wanna see Austin or Asher. Hell, i didn't even want to see Elle.

Elle was probably pissed off at me since i broke Austin and became really good friends with Asher. i didn't know what triplets were capable of, but i sure didn't think it could be anything good.

"addie? adeline?" jenna asked as she waved a hand in front of me face.

"huh?" i ask blinking and squinting my eyes as i look around.

"i asked how you and Asher are," she explained, motioning for me to talk.

"ugh, don't even speak of him," i groan and smack my hand on my forehead.

"what? what happened?" she asks with concern in her voice.

"he just-" i cut off as someone placed their arm around me. i just looked jenna in the eyes as she had big eyes making eye contact with the person who put their arm around me.

"who's your new friend here?" Austin asks. once i hear him a try to get away from him as soon as possible, but of course right as i did that he had to tighten his grip on me.

"stop," i mumble, trying to push him away but all he does is tighten his grip around me.

"and why should i? i miss you adeline," he admits, placing a kiss on the side of my head.

"STOP THAT!" i yell once he kisses my head. i felt so uncomfortable, so... wrong. disgusted. intruded.

"austin, please let go of her," jenna pleads with worried eyes.

'get help' i mouth. she immediately nods her head and runs off going to get help from someone.

"aw, she was too scared to even help you. i guess you'll have to stick around with me," he says as he pushes me against the locker and hugs me.

"please just stop," i say as i'm trying to fight back tears, not wanting him to see that im weak.

"just one kiss babe. one kiss," he whispers against my ear. at this point, i let the tears fall. i couldn't hold them back anymore.

"no. stop, please. this isn't you," i cry. but he doesn't listen and just grabs my hairs and forces my lips onto his. i don't kiss back, i just stand there and let out whimpers as he sloppily moves his lips on mine.

austin pulls away and takes his sleeve to wipe away my tears, making sure there isn't any evidence in the end. he goes in for another kiss and i just stand there, hoping this all will stop soon.

"adeline... how could you?" i hear someone say. i turn my head to see a shocked jenna along with a torn jacob. jacob is dressed in khakis and a black sweatshirt holding red roses and a card.

"jacob, this isn't what it looks like. i swear," i tell him as austin is looking down with a smile and has me pinned against the lockers. more specifically, my locker.

"oh really? because i'm pretty sure you were just kissing him," he tells me truthfully. he clenches his fist making his knuckles turn white and sadness and hurt spread all throughout his eyes.

"austin, let go of me," i tell him. he releases me and i rush over to jacob.

"just stop adeline," he says once i get in front of him.

"jacob, you have to believe me," i plead and try to hug him, but he backs away.

"i believe what i saw. even if you tried to tell me different, you have no proof," he explains.

"jacob-"

"you know, i came here just to surprise you with flowers and a nice card to cheer you up and this is what i get in return? you know, i thought we had something adeline. i thought we liked eachother and were about to get somewhere. god, just to think that today i was going to tell you in such a romantic way that i think i'm in love with you. but no, i have to tell you like this because you're still stuck up on your ex. i can't believe after everything i've done, this is how you repay me," he rants. he then looks up at me and hands me the card and flowers.

"have this. this might just be the last thing you have left of me. don't try to come to my place, don't try to contact me, and don't 'accidentally' run into me. i can't see you after this. you really hurt me adeline. you really fucking hurt me."

i stand there motionless and look at the flowers and back up at him. he looks at me and takes a deep breath before turning around and heading out of the highschool.

but what do i do? do i run up to him and kiss him, hoping everything will be better? no. this isn't some movie, this is reality.

i slowly turn around and see austin standing at my locker still.

"i'm sorry. i didn't know he was here," austin mumbles.

"then why did you do it in the first place? why did you make me kiss you?" i yell at him.

"i-i don't know," he replies and looks at me.

"there has to be a reason!" i tell him, hoping to get the real answer.

"BECAUSE I FUCKING MISSED YOU. I MISSED OUR DRAMA FREE LIFE, JUST YOU AND ME. I MISSED HAVING YOU IN MY ARMS. I MISSED BEING ABLE TO HANGOUT WITH YOU. I MISSED KISSING YOU. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW THAT YOU KNOW THE TRUTH?!" he yells right back at me.

"i'm sorry austin but jacob was the best thing that has ever happened to me. and you just - you took it all away from me," i explain only slightly above a whisper.

"adeline, we should go," jenna tells me and rubs my arm. i nod my head and turn around, heading out of the school building with the roses and the card that jacob got me.

the person who hates me.

the person i think i'm in love with
