Triplets (j.s.)

Chapter 20

anonymous pov

i saw everything.

i saw austin pinning adeline up against the wall and kissing her. i saw the tears running down her face and begging him to stop. i saw jacob come in with the roses. i saw hurt in jacobs eyes and leaving the highschool. i saw austin rant to adeline.

as i said, i saw everything.

i kept replaying the video that i took, wondering if i should give it to adeline and jacob or not to.

Adeline pov

weeks. it's been weeks since that incident.

weeks that i haven't talked/heard/seen jacob.

weeks that i've been miserable.

going to school has been extremely hard. everytime i go there i just want to burst out into tears knowing that that was the last time i would probably ever see him.

it sucks being a depressed person get the one thing that makes them happy taken away from them.

i've lost my mom, my brother, and my dad. but now jacob?

does everyone and every fucking thing hate me?

as i'm sitting in my bed going through my thoughts, i ponder upon the card that jacob got me.

am i going to open jacobs card? maybe later, but i think i know what card i should open.

i get off my bed and head straight towards my brothers room. i place my hand of the knob and take a deep breath before opening up the door.

the scent of my brother rushes towards me, making me let out a sad smile. but i walk to his bed and grab the letter he had wrote for me. i slowly pick it up and unravel it, getting ready for what he's said.

Dear Adeline,
i'm truly sorry this had to happen. please know that i did this for a reason and not that i was caught up in the moment. i knew by doing this i'd loose everything. but i had to take that chance to make me happy again.
but adeline i will miss you. i'm so sorry i left you alone. i'm so sorry i had to leave you behind. but i need to tell you something that might make your life a bit easier.
i need to warn you about austin. i'm not trying to bash your boyfriend but something is just kind of fishy about him. i still don't know what it is, but i needed to warn you about that.
hopefully i get to see you again addie.

i love you
- justin

i wasn't surprised that i was crying. i missed my brother so much.

i set the note back down and walk out of his room. my own brother knew something wasn't right with austin. how more blind can i be?

i leave the room and go to my room and straight towards my phone. i open up my messages and go on jacob's contact.

i wonder if i should try and text him.

i don't know if you have blocked my number but i just wanted to let you know that i read my brothers note.

i press send and set my phone down. but that's when everything hits me.

my brother misses me and i miss him. he felt terrible for leaving me but he had to make himself happy.

maybe i should do the same.

***

i'm standing in front of the bridge i tried to jump off of.

if this is what it takes to see my brother, it's a chance i'm willing to take. i have to make sacrifices in life.

i lean against the bridge and stare out into the water. i set my phone down on the concrete and lift myself up onto the railing.

here goes nothing.
