Finding Hope In You

two

As I walked closer to Dennis and Laila it felt like my heart was about to pound out of my chest. I was so nervous to say anything that I felt the vodka coming up. As I run to the bathroom and get to the toilet I throw up. I did not know why this is happening to me I didn't get drunk or anything like that. Why was I so nervous I was just walking to see Dennis. What the heck is wrong with me? 

As I finally manage to get up and out of the bathroom I try to walk back to Dennis. As I was walking I felt better maybe I just needed the alcohol out of me. I go and sit down and realize Laila is not there anymore. I turn to Dennis and say, " Where did the girl go?" 

"Oh she left a while ago she was very strange to be honest I wasted my time." 

" Really was she that bad? What was she like?" 

" Oh dude she was so shy and so closed off I was gonna get no where with her." 

I just decided to nod and walk out to my car. As I was walking out there I saw Laila sitting down near the bar wall crying. So I decided to go up to her and help her out.

" Hey Laila you okay? "

As she slowly turned her head up she looked shocked to see me. I would have been shocked if I were her too. As I sat down next to her she kind of jumped it surprised me. 

" Hey... Jacob right? Why are you here?" 

" Yes it is and I saw you here and came over to make sure you were okay. I mean we don't really know each other but what's wrong?" 

" Well if you would like to know I am upset cause I sat down with a guy because my best friend brooke told me to venture out and find something instead of my last breakup, and lets just say he was a complete jerk pointing out the obvious that I am super shy." as she says breaking down.

" Oh I think I know him does he have black hair?" as she nods I instantly knew it was Dennis. Dang I really wanted to punch him right now for doing this to a sweet innocent girl. " Oh babe it will be alright he is a jerk, I know, but I am sure you will find someone way better." As she nods her head I feel real bad for her so I decide to step out of my comfort zone. " If you want to would you like me to drive you home?" As she nods yes I help her up and walk her to my car.

As we are driving to her house she looks a bit better than she did when I got her so that's good. Hopefully I can keep a friend relationship with her and not screw something up like always because she is too perfect to mess up.

Laila's POV

It felt a bit weird to be sitting in his car I mean when he saw me I defiantly did not expect him or anyone for that matter to help me. But I am kind of glad he did. He is actually a better guy then I thought he was cause never in a thousand years would I have thought that Jacob would be so caring of my hurt feelings over some dumb idiotic guy. It makes me wonder why he even helped me to begin with. I mean does he care that much or does he just want to take advantage of me. It hurt my head to even think about right now so I decided to close my eyes for a little while till we got to my house.

Jacob's POV

I looked over to Laila and saw that she was asleep. She looks so cute asleep. We were close to her house I wanted to give her a little bit more time to sleep before I woke her up so I decided to circle the block a couple times. When it had been at least 10 minutes I decide to finally stop at her house and wake her up. I walked to her side and decided to get the keys in her purse and open up her door for her. Once I do that I decide to carry her in. While I was carrying her up to her door she woke up and looked at me with shock and fear in her eyes. I told her, "Shh its okay I am just walking you to your couch." 

"Oh okay how did you get my door open?" 

"Well you were sleeping so good that I hope it will be okay but I got the keys in your purse opened your door and we are here now." I said. She just looked me with a blank face.

"Yeah that's fine thank you." she said while smiling. 

As I set her down at her door frame she says to me, "Thank you for helping me out I would have been stuck at that club for another 3 hours. So thank you and to your question on if we should get lunch sometime I say sure here is my number." 

"Your welcome. Glad to help. Thank you for your number and I will text or call you when to pick you up." As I said goodbye and walked to my car I was so happy and glad that she said yes I could already tell this would be different.
