ONE MORE LIGHT (Watty 2019)

SEE YOU AGAIN

Mia
I drove without thinking about the consequences, without thinking about  Cameron and my family. I needed to be alone. I needed to talk to someone who won't remind me of Sam the whole time.

I drove as fast as i could. It's been 4 hours since I snapped at my mother and fight with Cameron. Another 1 hour and I will be away from everything. I needed to get away from Lockwood. Why the hell did I even return there?

I fought my need to sleep and focus completely on the road.

Jake
I stood against the wall in the shower letting the water flow, thinking about her. Ever since I came back I've been going through hell. I must say that being away from her is so bad that all I could do was sat alone in my apartment every day.

I had promised myself that I will move on. That I would let her go. But I guess I failed. I never thought her being away from me would hurt so much.

After the shower I walked back to my bed to see 23 missed calls from..... wait  what the hell? I unlocked confused why the fuck would Cameron call me for? What if something was wrong? I called him back when I heard a knock at my apartment door. I walked towards it with my phone near my ear as I opened it My heart broke into million pieces.

Shocked seeing her, I ended the call looking at her. She looked so weak yet incredibly beautiful. She was sad and had puffy as as well as red eyes. She looked at me as she dropped her bags weakly on the floor. "Mia" I managed to said.

"I.. I know you told me to not show you my face. I know you told me not to call or come to you. Jake I'm so sorry. I didn't had any choice..I... shouldn't have....." She panicked as she cried and cover her face in her hands...

Seeing her like that makes me feel broken. I quickly pulled her in my chest as I ran my hand through her hair. I've missed her.

She hugged back as she cried hiding her face in my chest. "I screwed up. I screwed up so bad" she said as she trembled. "No its ok love. Shh It's ok I'm here" I calmed her.

Having her near me made me forget about our fight. Despite knowing that I have to let her go I allowed her into the apartment. I made her some food as we both ate. She sat quietly not knowing what to say. "So are you going to tell me what happened?" I broke the silence as she moved her plate aside.

"I needed to get away from there" she lied. "You know you are a terrible liar" I said waiting for her to answer me. "Why did you let me stay with you?" She asked weakly.  "I Uhh i may be disappointed towards you but that doesn't mean I won't help if something happened" i replied.

Mia
I woke up after what felt like hours later to realise I wasn't in my room. I sat in the bed to see Jake and my bedroom. I missed these days. Everything used to be so easy.

I freshen up and walked slowly towards the kitchen. I watched around the apartment. It didn't change at all. Our pictures still framed and fixed on the walls. Our favourite movies still on the table.

"It's still beautiful right" I heard Jake's voice from behind as I quickly jumped to the side. "Hmm it's still amazing" I replied avoiding eye contact. "I thought you would already throw them out by now" I said walking to the dining table. "It's not that easy" He replied looking away.

"Hey Jake is it OK if I stay here till tomorrow?" I changed the subject.

"Yeah it's still your apartment you know" He laughed and placed a plate of bacon and fruits in front of me.
"Thank you " I smiled when my phone vibrates on the table to see Cameron's name popping. I quickly turn off the phone. Jake have me a confused look. Before he could say anything I quickly brush him off. "So how was your thanksgiving? " I asked smiling but deep inside I know I was messing up.

I was sleeping with Cameron while Jake was hurt and broken here.

"It was great. What's the plan for today?" He asked waiting for me to answer. "I don't know how about we spent the entire day watching movies and talking." I suggested as he quickly smiled and agree.

Cameron
I been calling Mia since the morning and she wasn't picking up. Her mom is sad as hell and his dad is so sad that he won't talk to anyone.

I sat in the kitchen with my phone calling Mia and again no answer. Nash entered quickly which I assume that he was still mad. "Hey dude" I looked at him but he looked away. "Come on Nash are you serious now you won't talk to me." I said annoyingly and worried.

"We have 3 meetings and people are starting to ask questions about your relationship with Mia. They think that was the reason why you let her take over the hospital so fix that" He informed me and walked away. "Sometimes I wonder why are you even the mayor of this town....I mean isn't Nash more responsible than you" We heard a familiar voice at the door.

"Luke what are you doing here in the morning? " I asked standing up as Nash stood still but very alert. "Oh yes I was hoping if I could talk to you about selling the hospital to my company" He suddenly asked.

"You didn't had money to save the hospital few weeks ago how the hell did you get that much money to buy it now and why do you think I'll sell it to you?" I snapped at him.

"Well the whole town is yours and the hospital is legally on your land which means if you sell the land the hospital would be either destroyed or hand over by the owner of the land automatically." He explained.

He does have a point. "Still didn't answer my first question" I gave him a confused look. "No the hospital will remain for the Steel Family and I cannot do anything anything about it." I said roughly. "You've already deal with so much drug dealing and murders god knows what will happen next but I won't sell it to you" I snapped again.

"Cameron I came asking for you to sell the hospital. There's no need for violence. If you won't sell it...I know ways to do it." He threatened as he left. How can he be so arrogant and selfish? " Luke? One last thing. Was it necessary to shoot Sam that night?" I asked needed to know.

"I see Mia already told you everything. I really love the way she act and react to things by the way.  However let's agree to one thing. She will always be a slut right I mean after that drama thing on thanksgiving she left you and went to her ex boyfriend" He laughed.

"You fucking bastard" I said angrily walking towards him. "How do you know where she is?" I was stopped by Nash question which hit me into realising that Luke was actually tracking is down.

"You see right now if I don't buy the hospital my whole business will suffer a great loss which will not only destroy me but the whole town and if I burned down you burn down with me." He threatened once again.

Nash and I watched him leave when he stopped. "One last thing.. That night I didn't had any choice. I was angry because Sam took the only most important drug that I needed to sell to buy the whole town. And I guess you should be thankful rather than crying for him. He saved you all....which was in fact horrible for me."

Luke is a freaking monster. I need to make sure Mia was doing ok.
