Chapter 21

jacob pov

i haven't talked to adeline in weeks. i haven't seen her in weeks. but for all i know she's probably kissing austin.

am i jealous? yes. was it hard to leave her? yes.

i never blocked her number because i like to re read our text messages. it may sound creepy but it makes me feel better.

but most of my time has either been in bed or at the gym training. i've regretted leaving her so much but i can't bare to go up to her and talk to her. i've been miserable and everyone has noticed.

"good job today jacob. how have you been lately though?" my trainer jason asks.

"absolute shit," i answer wiping the sweat off my forehead.

"still caught up on that kiss?" he asks.

my phone vibrates in my pocket so i pull it out. "one second," i tell jason as i open up the text.

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 look at the text and see it's from adeline. she never said she missed me or she wants to talk things out.

she must already be over me.

i close out of the text and place my phone back into my pocket and return my attention back onto jason.

"to answer your question, yes i am."

"sorry bud. but i'll see you here tomorrow?" he asks.

"yep," i answer and grab my bag and keys and head out to my car. everyday since the incident i always pass the bridge adeline about jumped off of.

the reason i do this is because i know that i saved her life and this is how we met.

i start my car and back out of the parking lot, heading down the road that leads to my house.

i usually am pretty cautious about my surroundings, but i guess i didn't notice when i was by the bridge.

i hear my phone go off so i pull over next to the bridge and put it in park. i grab my phone and find the text, first noticing it was a video.

i click on the text and see that it's from a random number, but i go ahead and check the video.

i couldn't believe what i saw. i couldn't believe it at all. adeline was crying and austin wiped away the evidence. he forcefully kissed her and she cried more.

how was i so blind?

i set down my phone and get out of my car.

"fuck!" i yell as i loose control. i start pacing back and forth and walking next to the bridge.

she probably hates me! she might not ever want to see me again! why didn't i believe her?

as the thought are going through my head, i step on something. i look down and see a phone.

i bend down to grab it and flip it over. pressing the home screen, i see a picture of me and adeline. it was a mirror selfie that she took with me hugging her from behind and smiling.
