adeline pov

jacobs kiss was full of passion and lust. it wasn't fast and rushed, but it was slow and savored.

after kissing eachother for a while, we had eventually pulled away gasping for air. our foreheads rested against one another as a smile was brought to both of our lips. he kissed me one more time before he tucked my head into his chest.

"you don't know how long i've wanted to tell you that," jacob says and laughs a little. i smile into his chest and cuddle more into it as he massages my hair. which by the way is the BEST feeling EVER

"actually, i told you i loved you first," i explain to him. he laughs and kisses my forehead and goes back to the position we were in.

as we rested in eachother arms, i couldn't help but think about how not too long ago i was about to commit suicide. not too long ago i had no one.

everything was so perfect at the moment and i couldn't have asked for anything else. all i needed in my life was for someone to be by my side and make me happy again.

who knew that i could still possibly be with austin and him cheat on me? well, little did i know that i would be seeing him the next morning.

***

the sun crept in through my curtains, making my eyes burn. i roll over to my side to snuggle into jacob but soon realize that he's not there.

i sit up and look around the room until i see a note on my desk.

sorry i left without telling you in advanced. you were sleeping and i didn't want to wake you. jason had asked me to be at the gym to train

-jacob

i set the note back down and get up, hopefully doing something successful during my day. i grab two towels and head to the bathroom to hop in the shower, washing my hair, body, and teeth. once i'm done with that i get dressed and do my hair and makeup.

i look at the clock and see that it's 10:20 am, an hour and a half after jacob left. seeing that there's nothing to do, i decide to-

dinggggg

"who the heck would be at the house right now?" i whisper to myself as i walk into the living room. i slowly unlock the front door and open it, revealing the person i would least expect it to be.

"dad?" i exclaim/question looking at the man in front of me. he still looked like my dad, but of course just a little older. at 42 he has a couple of gray hairs, but not too much. his head is mainly full of brown/red, just like me.

"addie," he says and stands there. at this point, i don't know what to do. i don't know if i should hug him or be mad at him for leaving me for so long.

"why didn't you ever come back?" i ask as tears try to fight their way out of my eyes.

"i am back sweetie," he tells me. i shake my head no and cover my face with my hands.

"no. you left me when i had no one. just because you paid for the bills still didn't mean you still wanted me. gosh, i thought you couldn't stand to be here because i was your dead wife's daughter!"

"i came back though addie. i'm sorry," dad explains.

"sorry won't cut it this time," i tell him as i shut the door in his face. i lock it and turn around, sliding my back against the door and plopping onto the ground.

i stayed there for who knows how long. but i couldn't stand to be in this house right now. all the memories are flooding back to me.

i had to get out.

i get up and head out the front door, going to the small park that no one ever goes to. the weather didn't affect me the slightest right now. i didn't even feel it.

i arrive at the park and sit down on one of the swings, starring off into the distance with nothing on my mind.

today was clearly not my day because everyone i saw, i did not want to see.

"hey adeline," i here a faint voice whisper. i look to my right and see austin sitting next to me on the swings.

i look over at him and then look straight back at my lap.

"look, i'm-i'm sorry," he tells me. i just nod my head in response.

"can we just please give us another chance?" austin asks lightly.

"i can't do that austin," i answer.

"why not? i'll change just for you, i'll get you anything you want, i'll-"

"that not what a relationship is austin. you shouldn't have to change for someone to make them like you. you shouldn't have to get someone a bunch of stuff so they will date you," i interrupt and say.

"i'm sure jacob spoils you," he tells me, starting to get angry. "i did so much for you for the whole time we were together and you just decide to go to him?!" he exclaims. he starts to get up and comes right in front of me.

"you're gonna choose him over me?" he asks.

"austin stop, please. i'm sorry," i say as tears start to flow.

"YOU'RE GONNA CHOOSE HIM OVER ME?" a voice yells at me with their hands grasping the sides of my arms.

"I'm- i'm sorry!" I say as more tears bursts down my face.

"adeline?!" i hear a familiar voice yell off in the distance.

"jacob?" i whisper.

two arms wrap around me and pull me off the swing set and into their arms. jacob wraps his left arm around my waist and his right hand is cradling my head into his chest.

"i was looking for you everywhere," he whispers to me.

"austin, leave. it's for the best," jacob says to austin. jacob picks me up so my legs are wrapped around his waist as he starts to walk in the opposite direction of austin.

"you're okay now," he whispers. "you're okay now"
