You sat there on the sidewalk in the falling snow for what seemed like an eternity. You couldn’t stop the tears from running down your face. All you could think about was how you had just turned down Jake, who was the best thing that ever happened to you. You just needed to think.
As you sat there trying to control your emotions you noticed a car pulling onto the street. Sitting there motionless, you saw it come closer and closer to your phone, eventually running it over and crushing it.
Fucking great you thought to yourself. As if this night could get any worse.
You stood up to go back inside so you could talk to Mel and get her to call you a cab, and when you turned around you saw a figure in the door.
“Y/N? What are you doing out here?” asked Mark Scheifele, Jacob’s best friend.
“Mark, hi,” you sniffled, trying not to start crying again. Needing to tell somebody about the nights events, you told Mark everything, from Evander being weird to Jake telling you he loved you.
“Wow. That’s some crazy shit,” Mark said, running a hand through his hair. “You know, Troubs has been looking for you. He’s really rattled up, not knowing where you are and if you’re safe. You should go see him.”
“I will right now. Thanks Mark,” you smiled at him and ran into the building.
You were freezing by now since you’d been out there for about 30 minutes. You searched everywhere for Jacob but couldn’t find where he was for the life of you. You asked like 8 different people if they’d seen Jake lately, but none of them had. Perfect. That’s when you bumped into Zach. He’d know where Jacob was for sure!
“Zach! Where’s Jake I need to find him,” you asked hopefully.
“He went back to the apartment looking for you! Where’ve you been kid you’re looking a little rough!” he replied.
“Thanks! No time to explain, I’ll talk to you later,” you said in a rush. All you were worried about was finding Jake.
You ran out into the street hailing a cab, directing the driver to take you to the apartment. Although he was driving over the speed limit, he still couldn’t get you there fast enough. You decided that you needed to explain everything to Jake. This was going to be hard but it had to be done if anything could ever happen between you and him.
“Thank you!” you said to the driver as you paid him, giving him a large tip since he sped for you. You ran up to the door and threw it open expecting to see Jacob there. “Jacob?” you called out hoping he’d reply.
After calling his name out several times and searching the apartment, you still had no luck in finding him.
“Shit,” you said out loud to yourself. You ran back out into the street, still in your dress (which was soaking from the wet snow) desperate to find Jacob. You had to tell him that you loved him.
Jacob’s POV
“Hey man, did you find her?” Bogo asked me as I returned to the banquet hall.
“No, I looked all over the apartment and the entire neighbourhood, but still no sign of her!” I replied. I was really worried that I had upset Y/N, and I really don’t want to lose her.
“I just sent her down there saying that’s where you went! You must’ve just missed her,” Zach replied.
“I don’t know what to do man, everything went downhill after I said the L word,” I explained.
“I’m sure she was just shocked. Trust me, she’s crazy about you. Right B?” he asked Bianca as she approached us.
“Totally! She wouldn’t stop talking about you Jake! Like, EVER.” She responded, a small smile on her face.
“Man, I gotta find her, and make sure she’s okay,” I told them. That’s when Scheif came along.
“Jake! Jake! Has Y/N found you yet?” he asked, a slightly concerned look on his face.
“No, I’ve been looking for her all night! I texted her like 7 times but she won’t respond! I think I really upset her,” I said, getting more worried every second.
“She’s not upset at you! She’s upset with Evander! You should’ve heard what he said to her.”
After Mark explained everything to me, I lost it.
Sorry for the long wait! I didn't think anybody read this so I was going to give up on it, but your support made me change my mind!! LOVE YOU ALL!! xo
