Misfit Love

Roxy and Jacob.

I stared at my phone debating if I should call Jacob to check on him.

Why wouldn't I? He used to be my bestfriend..

Stop being so stupid and call him!

I sighed and dialed his number. it rang twice before I heard a familiar deep voice.

"Roxy?"

"Jacob.. "

There was a long pause before I finally gave in. "How are you, Jacob?" he answered faster than I expected. "I'm okay, what about yourself?"  I wasn't sure how I'd answer that. I finally said, "I'm fine." Ever since he left, I wasn't fine. I wanted to see him again. I missed him. "Jacob, can you come over for a little while?" I could hear the enthusiasm in his voice "Be there in five minutes!"

It was the longest five minutes of my life, I readied myself for his arrival. I stood by the door and waited. I heard a faint knock on my door. I took a deep breath and answered it.

My God.. he was still beautiful.

He wrapped his arms around me and lifted me off the ground. Every time he saw me, this is what he'd do. I hugged him close to my body.

I missed feeling his warm body against mine. Without saying a word he pressed his lips against mine. I'm not sure what came over me, but I couldn't stop, I didn't want to. I grabbed his shirt and kissed him back.

I pulled away from him and placed my hand over my mouth. "I'm sorry, Roxy. you're just so beautiful and I missed you." I walked over to the couch and sat down. He plopped down beside me and I smiled.

"Hi."

"Hi, Jacob."

He didn't say anything after that for a while. He looked like he was deep in thought. Then he reached over and grabbed my hand. "Be with me, Rox. " Taken back by his demand I stared at him. Without thinking I nodded, "Okay. " He kissed me with so much passion, it took my breath away.

Just like that, he was back in my life.

Four months have passed..

"What is your fucking problem, Roxy?!"

he spat those words at me like venom.

"MY problem? I'm not the one going out with other people! I saw you kiss her and you act like it's my fucking fault! I'm done with you Jacob! " he glared at me and stormed into the bathroom, slamming the door. I sat on the couch as I felt the tears falling down my face. I heard him yell as if he was in pain. I ran to the bathroom and began banging on the door. "Go away! " I banged on it harder. "Let me in!" the door opened slowly. That's when I saw it.. he was covered in blood. He dropped the razor and walked towards me "W-what have you done?! " he grabbed my face "If you leave me.. it'll get worse. I won't ever stop. "

I couldn't leave him...

Everything was okay for the next few days. Then he was having one of his bad days.

"You're fucking worthless! You're just a pathetic excuse for a girl." I stared at him. "Fuck you. " with that I walked out the door and got in my car and I left. I pulled over and cried. I finally calmed myself when my phone went off. It was Jacobs best friend, Kyle. "Hello?" "Roxy? where are you at?" something was wrong. "I'm about thirty minutes from Jacobs house, why?"

He said the words I'd never forget..

"Jacob is in the hospital." I rushed to the hospital and Kyle greeted me.
