Never Love An English

Girlfriend

Be Jane:

Jake hugs me tightly when he sees me in the crowd. He was taking to a long blonde haired girl when he entered. Almost everyone in the room was wearing a, unbuckled arms, straight jacket. It was strange seeing Jake in one. He gave me a quick peck on the lips then said, "Hi Janey." A light blush dusted my face.

His new friends came over to us. A guy with his lips sewen shut with black string, a girl with fake cat ears and tail, and the long blonde haired purple eyed girl. Strange crowd but it is a detention center, it's expected to find people like this.

Jake pulls away from the hug. He introduces his friends, "this is Kurloz, Lalonde, and uhh. What was your name again? " the girl rolls her eyes. She pulls out a paper, It reads, "Hi I'm Meulin, I'm deaf. If you face me when you talk, and speak at a medium pace, I should be able to understand. Kurloz and I only speak in writing. Rose can speak and hear tho."

I figure that Rose is Lalonde. Jake must've forgotten her first name. I smile, "nice to meet you, I'm Jane. " I say. I chat with Jake and his friends for a while. Checking my phone for messages from my dad.

Rose chats with me a lot. "I feel like I've met you before. " she says to me. I wiggle my eye brows at her. "Do you possibly know someone named Roxy?" She asks.

I think about it, "I think I know someone of the name Roxy Lalonde. I believe I came to her house to walk her to mine once or twice. Then she moved or something. I haven't seen her in a few years. I think I lost contact in 5th grade." I say to her.

"So, you lost contact with her after I left... after I was brought here.." Rose says frowning. I didn't know what to say. Meulin seemed to have been listening in because she hugged Rose, patting her on the back. I gave a small smile then turned to see what Jake and Kurloz were talking about.

I'd seen Meulin and Kurloz signing before Jake saw me. I'd learned the alphabet when I was in primary school.

"Nice to meet you Carlos" I signed. He had wide eyes but then calmed down signing back to me,"It's Kurloz. Nice to meet you as well."

We only signed spelling every single word out. Jake was confused. But since I said everything we said verbally then signed it, he was a little less confused.

I looked down at my phone, "15 minutes, then we have to leave." My father texted me. I frowned.

Jake lifts up my chin with the gentle touch of his fingers. His eyes stare into mine. "Are you okay Janey?" He says softly.

"My father wants me to leave soon..." I say. Rose and Meulin come over to Kurloz, Jake, and I.

"Jakey, I don't want to leave..." I say, tears threatening to fall. My eyes wanting to come out of their sockets. "I don't want to wait another month to see you.. I don't think my father will let my visit more then two more times over this summer. He probably won't let me come in the school year.."

Jakey held me in his arms. I cried. Gripping his shirt tightly, I kissed him through the tears. When I pulled away, I saw he was crying to.

"I-i guess that means I wouldn't get visitors anymore. Momma hasn't visited and I've been here for a whole month. She probably has forgotten about me by now. " he says, looking down at the floor. I hold his hands.

"She hasn't forgotten, I'm sure she's just busy with Jade starting kindergarten and all of that. She'll visit. And don't think I won't beg my dad to come here every weekend. I love you Jake." A tear rolls down my face as I wipe his from his cheeks.

He takes my hands, putting them on his shoulders. He kisses me, his arms around my waist. My eyes close, just hoping I could stay, hoping this feeling of fuzzy warmth would forever stay in my body. Hoping, that I wouldn't have to leave. I heard and felt my phone ringing, but I didn't care.

He pulls away, I take out my phone. I see my father's missed call, and tons of messages. I give Jake a kiss on the cheek, and one last hug. "I love you Jakey." I say.

"I love you to Janey." He gives me a peck on the lips, slowly letting me go. Sadness in his eyes. I walk off, scared to look back. I meet my father at his car. He's angry with me, but I don't care. Tears are flowing down my face, I couldn't hold them in. I take off my glasses, covering my face with my hands.

I miss him already...
