The lie that brought us together --Jerika Highschool

Goodbye!?

Erika's POV
Did Jake really just ask me that??

E: Im sorry Jake. I wouldn't like to be your girlfriend. I'd love too. You are literally the sweetest. Not only that but you where there for me when I needed someone the most.
I love you Jake and I hope you do too.
J: Of course Erika. What's not to love about you. Now lets get you better so we can go on that date.

*One week later*
Jake's POV
Gavin has been expelled for what he did and Erika is finally out of the hospital. Today is the day I want to take Erika on the date.

I texted her that I was going to pick her up at her house later. Then I left school early to set up.

Erika and I had told the school we were dating and most people were happy for us.

Erika's POV
When Jake and I told the whole school most people were happy except for the people I used to call my friends. During class all day people were giving me notes about how I too popular to be with Jake and that I should dump him for someone better.

I know I shouldn't listen to the haters but they were really getting to me. I knew Jake had left early so I drove home silently just thinking. By the time I got home I had tears streaming down my face. Why do bad things always happen to me.

The next thing I know I start hyperventilating. The only person who can calm me down is Jake and I can't move or I will freak my self out. Hopefully he will be here soon.

Jake's POV
I was done setting up for the date so I decided to head to Erika's house. When I arrived I saw her lambo in the driveway. I knocked on the door and Erika's mom answered. She told me Erika hasn't been in the house since this morning.

I run out to her car and I see her sitting in the lambo having a anxiety attack. I am the only one who has been able to calm her down. I wonder why she didn't call me? Did I do something wrong?

I sit next to Erika on the car seat and pull her too me and I rest her head in my chest. I whisper in her ear that everything is ok. Finally she starts to calm down.

J: Erika are you ok? Please tell me what's wrong.
E: After you left people kept walking up to me and giving me notes telling me that your not good enough and I should dump you for someone better.
J: Why didn't you call or text me. I could of helped.
E: I didn't think it was going to bother me that much.
J: Also why didn't you call me when you had your panic attack. I could of calmed you down.
E: I never told you this because I thought you were going to think I am weird. But when I have a panic/anxiety attack I cant move or I will make it worse and I could have a heart attack.
J: Why would I think your weird?
E: I don't know. Do you want to know why this happens?
J: yes please
E: ok well I have a heart condition that if I start getting out of breath or if my heart has to work a tiny bit harder than it should. It will start to fail. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry. Im sorry.
J: No im sorry. This is all my fault. If I wouldn't of lied you wouldn't of had to be my friend or even meet me. I put you in the hospital twice. Ive made everyone at school hate you. I am really sorry Erika but I don't think we are going to work out. I just can stand there while you are being hurt. Im sorry Erika, just know that I love you.

With that I walked away, got in my car, took one last look at Erika and drove away.

What's going to happen to Jerika? What's Erika going to say.
