Claude's POV:
Jake, always the observant one. I had my back leaned up against the wall, not bringing attention to myself, but naturally he saw me. His blue eyes widened with shock blinking several times. I laughed out. The group next to me thought I was mad.
Jake snapped his head over to where Nathan sat on the bar stool then back to me. I lifted my drink towards Nathan with a kiss. That sent him running. I watched Jake grab Nathan's arm and drag him out. Not once again did Jake look back.
I moved my eyes to Kelsey and Tom dancing on my right. Never really loved Kelsey. She was obviously beautiful, leading me straight towards the other beauty. Then Jake had to follow us, open the car, and ruin everything. I had to live in prison for almost 7 years. Jake ruined everything. Everything.
Nathan's POV:
You saw Claude? Kelsey asked Jay. We checked in a hotel for the night, paying extra since it was late. We got one room with two double beds, you can imagine who with who.
Your joking. Could have spent more hours down in the club. Thanks a lot Jay. Tom said.
Claude's locked up. 20 years. It must been a lookalike Jay. I said. He couldn't have gotten out.
I know who I saw. Jay said.
Did you see him? Kels? Nath? Cause I didn't. Tom said.
Are you accusing me of lying? Jay asked him.
I didn't see him either. Nath? Kelsey asked me. I looked at Jay's pleading eyes then at Tom's asking ones.
I-..I didn't see him. Sorry Jay. I said truthfully.
I can't believe you guys don't believe me. After years Nathan, I thought even you'd believe me. I'm going to bed. Night. Jay said. He got up and got in bed throwing the cover over his head. He didn't said "goodnight" nor "I love you" but I knew he was upset.
Tom and Kelsey said goodnight as well and got in their bed, all cuddled up. Then it was just me. I changed in the bathroom then got in the bed with Jay. I looked at Kelsey and Tom once more. Kelsey in Tom's arms both asleep, but smiling. I turned to Jay.
I tapped on Jay's back. Nothing. I tapped again. Nothing. Third times the charm. I tapped again, but in return I got bumped by his back.
Stop it. I don't want to cuddle you. Jay whispered. Still mad.
I turned so I lay on my stomach, putting my head under my pillow. It's not that I didn't trust Jay. If Jay seriously says something I believe it. This wasn't one of his pranks. He wouldn't joke about Claude. Tom did, I was 15 and didn't laugh because it wasn't funny.
Jay's the only one who saw him. What if he's really back?
