13 Reason's Why: [TEAM10]

Tape6: jake paul

"Jake paul, welcome to your tape..."

----------

It's been a few weeks since I left the team 10 house, and am still living in my small apartment in Michigan. Chance and I talk, but not much, not much at all. Here I was again, zipping up my duffel bag, and getting into an uber.
Kade's birthday was coming up, and I wanted to be there for him... and so I was staying for a day. Kade and I shared the same birthday, and I never really cared much about my own. But I thought spending time with my best friend, and new friends, would be nice. I hoped on my plane, and was off.

"You're back!" Chad welcomed me inside.

"Yes! Missed you guys!" I said giving him a hug

"Oh god" I added, seeing the added room Ivan and Emilio had built. I laughed as Tessa ran up and hugged me

"T!" I said wrapping my arms around her

"I just came for that latte" she said, taking a sip

I rolled my eyes and laughed.

"SAGE!" Kade said, running downstairs

"happy early birthday ya freak" I said, as he grabbed me into a hug.

"You too!" He replied

"Yo, what the f*** is that sh** doing in my face" I laughed

"I, am a vlogger now" he said proudly

I laughed "congratulations, I guess?"

I was never into becoming a vlogger. I like being behind the camera, but I've been on a few podcasts and had a few successful ones myself.

I noticed Kade's, Tessa, Ivan, Chad, Emilio, everyone around me, their face dropped.

"Let's go upstairs" Ivan suggested

"What! Nah let's hang in your new room" I laughed

He got serious "no"

Kade grabbed my shoulder "let's go"

"What?" I said half smiling "I don't understand?" I noticed that, the car engine in the background had stopped, and a car door had been slammed shut. I turned to face the door as it opened

The team behind me tried to turn me away, but my complete shock and confusion overpowered all of their strength. In stumbled Chance, his hair messy, as if he hadn't even done it, his clothes torn, shirt backwards, sweat was streaming, and his cheeks were red, lipstick stains on his collar. Hickeys.

"Oh." I said, my eyes almost filling with tears "oh" I repeated

Chance has stopped
Again the group tried turning me away, but this time I let it happen. I couldn't face him.

"Sage I-" Chance started

"Oh" I repeated. That's all I could say, nothing was coming out. At all.
"Ok" I said. I grabbed my backpack sitting on the bottom stair, where I kept one backup box of cigarettes, when I used to smoke. I took one, two, three, my vision was fuzzy. I shoved them in my pocket, grabbed a lighter on the counter, and walked outside.

I was saving a photo shoot picture for my birthday, again I never have really cared for my birthday, but I was in love with this picture, my outfit, the setting. But now was no time to celebrate

"Sage" Jake said coming out

"Hi jake" I smiled a weak smile.

"I'm so sorry Sage, what he did was wrong, so wrong. I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine- anyways. I know you may not want to see him right now, but I want you and Kade to enjoy your birthdays. So, first, here"

He handed me a slip. I read it over and over again

"Jake!" I beamed, and gave him a huge hug. The paper was an opportunity a lifetime, model industries, Vogue, Victoria's Secret, were asking me to come in for a day to work with them, and see if I wanted to join their company. I never auditioned for modeling though...

"I emailed them the picture you just posted a few hours ago, the birthday one, and they want you!" He said proudly

"Thank you so much Jake"
