Don't Let Me Go

Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Sebastian had never been more bored in his life than he was at the moment. He was lying on his bed facing the ceiling with both arms spread out. He had been in England for three weeks now he had done absolutely. Jacob on the other hand had been in and out of the hotel they had stayed in for the last three weeks.

He still hadn’t been able to figure out what Jacob was up to. He missed the sea and he knew that Jacob did too even though he insisted in coming. He knew that he was just as eager as Sebastian to return to their life of fun, adventure and most of all freedom.

Breaking him out of his reverie was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” he said sitting up from his bed.

“Hey Sebastian, I need you to go somewhere with me,” Jacob said the moment he crossed the door.

“Well, hello to you to Jacob, and yes, I know the weather is fine outside,” he said sardonically while talking in an imaginary conversation. He was answering questions that Jacob would have generally have asked but was too rude to ask them at the moment because of his impromptu question.

“I am sorry Sebastian. Hello. Now I need you to go with me to a ball,” he said to his friend.

While hearing this he was making his way to a cabinet that was filled with liquor. The entire walk Sebastian gave Jacob a quizzical expression.

“It’s not what you’re most likely thinking like that,” Jacob defended himself after understood what his friend had assumed by him asking him to ball.

“Good, because I don’t have a dress to wear,” Sebastian joked.

Jacob chuckled. “I just need you to go with me as company, if you will, I have no one else to go with and I don’t wish to go alone,” Jacob said looking at his friend in an almost kind of pleading kind of way, ushering him to agree.

“Why?…as in, you’ve been doing just fine for the last three weeks alone,” he reprimanded, “when I would ask you is I could join you,  would dismiss me saying you didn’t ‘need my help’ or that you were ‘fine doing it alone’.”
