Forever&Always

I was sitting in class ignoring everyone as usual when I saw him. I haven't seen him for two years when he left me stranded. at first he told me I was crazy and broke up with me. But then he apologized because he was just stressed about moving, and he had to break up with me either way. At least that way had a better reason.. some what. After that I never heard from him again. But here he was in all him glory. My Jake. My Jacob.

"OH MY GOSH!! HEYY!!" I got up and gave him the biggest hug. "What are you doing here?!"

"I moved back and well I go here now?"

"Nice What class do I have?"

"Um this one?" He looked uncertain but I was so happy he was here I could not care less. I told him to sit I front of me. We had so much to catch up on. The bell rang and everyone was a seat now and the teacher had started the lesson, I could not hold it in any longer-

"So how have you been?" I whispered to him trying to block out the looks a couple people around me started to give me when I asked.

"Fine fine but how have you been"

"I've been good."

"No really how have you actually been?" I had to think what he was trying to get at. I mean I had a drug problem and became depressed and suicidal after he moved and stop talking to me. he was the love of my life and he just left and never spoke to me after.

"Um, Beth?" I looked up and the teacher was giving me the same look as the people around me. Kind of concerned.

"um yes?" I said mimicking her but win more annoyance in my voice.

"please be quiet and pay attention" I shrugged, because actually the answer would be no.

"anyways-" I whispered even quieter. "how was-" I stopped because the look he was giving me told me he REALLY did not want to talk about him. "Jake. I haven't seen or talked to you I'm two years. you got to fill m" in on how you were and all the cool things that happened I missed you"

"I missed you too. but I don't want to talk about me please. I want to talk about you"

"ok.." I said even though I didn't want to talk about me.

"Beth?" I looked up and saw my old friend Sammy.

"yes?" I really just wanted to get back to talking to Jake.

"um who are u talking to?.."

"Jake?" geez. why was everyone giving me that look. I mean I haven't seen him for two year we HAD to catch up.

"Have you dated anyone else?" Jake interrupted because that conversation was going no where.

"What? Oh no" I said a bit embarrassed. I was about to ask him if he had but I was cut off.

"Beth? can I see you in the hall please?"

"Way to go you got me in trouble!" I joked with Jake before entering the hallway.

"yes!"

"are you ok?" my teacher looked at me hard like I might have a sickness she could see with her eyes.

"uh.. yah are you ok?" I said mimicking her again.

"yes but- i mean, what happened in there?"

"What do you mea-" before I could finish my phone started to ring. At first I thought it was Jake trying to get me in more trouble, but I was slightly disappointed to see it was just my mom.

"I'm sorry I have to take this." my teacher nodded. "Hello?" I answered.

"Beth!" My moms voice sounded sad and apologetic.

"mom?" I started to worry something bad had happened.

"Honey. I'm really sorry" she said.

"mom, about what? what happened?!"

"Andrew just called.. Jake is dead." I could hear her voice start to crack.

"What? No! Jake is here. he's in my class. They moved back and he goes to my school now." I turned to my teacher and she started shaking her head.

"there's no Jake in that class. There wasn't even anyone sitting in front of you-" she went on, and so did my mom.

"He was found dead by the skate park near his house, they said that-" I couldn't here anything anyone was saying. They must have been joking right? I looked in the class everyone was staring at me and there was no one sitting in front of my seat. Tears started to form in my eyes I turned around so no one could see but Jake was right there. I reached out to touch him but my hand went right through. It was true he wasn't really here. And once I realized that I looked into his eyes.

"I'm sorry. I had to see you one more time I love you Beth, forever and always." And then he was gone.
