Elle

We walk into Maddie's house and I look around, searching for any sign if Grayson. No sign of him or Ethan. I grab Jacob's arm and lead him back out front.

"What?" He asks and I turn to face him and fold my arms and put on a poker face. "I kind of regret coming. Can we go home and just binge watch Pretty Little Liars?"
Jacob sighs and looks back towards the house that was blaring music and was filled with party lights. "Why? Grayson isn't here. Pretty sure he won't come either. Just stay for another hour at least." He pleads.

I nod and smile, "Fine, but just a hour. That's it, then we are going." We go back inside and I head towards the drinks. "Want one?" I ask Jacob after I had filled my cup. He shakes his head, "Someone needs to take you home."

I giggle and take my drink with me out back where it wasn't as crowded. I see Maddie across the yard talking and laughing with Alissa. My heart drops at the sight of my best friend with someone I now don't like.

I decide to walk up to them because I didn't want to talk to anyone else I know that I saw here. I tap Alissa's shoulder and she turns around and her jaw drops. She pulls me into a quick hug.

"Where have you been? I haven't seen you ever since the whole thing with Grayson happened." She asks and I look over at Maddie uncomfortably. "I haven't talked to a lot of people expect Jacob after."

She nods and I look over at Maddie again and see her playing with her bracelets. I clear my throat and her head shoots up. "How are you?" I ask trying to make her feel included in me and Alissa's conversation.

She purses her lips together and looks down, "Terrible. I'm so sorry Elle. I really did feel bad, but she was paying me to do it. I promise." She continues to ramble on about how sorry she is and I roll my eyes.

"Just stop. It's fine, Vanessa got what she wanted in the end. And if money is more important than our friendship than that's fine. I could honestly care less about any of this right now. I'm here to have fun so please, do me a favor and don't bring that up again." I say.

I look away from her and see Jacob signaling for me to come over to him and I look back over at Alissa and Maddie. "Anyway, i've got a friend waiting for me. Bye now." I wiggle my fingers at them and make my way over to Jacob.

"Why were you talking to Maddie and Alissa for?" He asks and I shrug, "I wanted to talk to Alissa but I felt bad when Maddie wasn't included." Jacob rolls his eyes and I giggle. "What?" I ask about his action.

"Nothing. Just funny how you feel bad about her not being included in a conversation, but she never felt bad about spying on you and Grayson. You're way too kind hearted, Elle." He says and I just stay silent.

Me and Jacob just stand there in a comfortable silence until he says that he will be right back. I nod and head inside.

Grayson

Me and Ethan decided to go to this party at Maddie's tonight because Alissa invited us. I honestly hope that Elle will be there, I hate not being able to talk to her. But then again, I was the one that got mad at her.

—-

When me and Ethan arrived I didn't expect this many people to be there. I walk out back and look around for Alissa or maybe even Elle. Just someone. I spot Alissa but she was talking to Maddie.

I look around more and my eyes land on something that made my nose flare and my jaw to clench. Elle and Jacob. Together. I know I shouldn't be jealous because Elle isn't mine anymore, but she definitely didn't belong with him.

I watch as Jacob's eyes wander around the yard and his land on mine and I fake a smile before I nod my head behind me, telling Jacob to follow me and I head towards the side of the house.

A lean against the side of the house and wait for Jacob and as almost right on cue he turns the corner and walks up to me. "What do you want?" He asks, frustrated. "Stay away from Elle, you hear?" I say through gritted teeth.

He shakes his head very lightly and I raise my eyebrow. "What if I don't want to? She's my friend and she needs me right now because she has no one." I glare at him.

"She has me." I say. He shrugs, "Does she? Cause last time I checked she came home crying because you had broke her heart. She deserves better than that." I bite the inside of my cheek and look away from Jacob.

"I love her and she knows that. She is just too stubborn to admit it to herself. Just leave town, move back to New York, drop out of school, whatever. Just stay away from Elle. Or else." I say returning my attention to Jacob.

"Or else what? You aren't going to hurt me. You aren't going to hurt Elle. What are you going to do?" He asks, finally getting in my last nerves. I rub my lips together and chuckle, "You don't want to know."

He repeats his question and I have finally had enough, "I'll hurt Elle. I don't care, just as long as you are away from her." He laughs, "You wouldn't. You love her and she loves you."

"Only a fool would fall in love with someone as deadly as me." I say as my jaw clenched and unclenches. "Just leave before Elle gets hurt. And I will do it, don't underestimate me." I add and Jacob looks away, his jaw clenched.

"Fine, but just know, that she does love you and if you hurt her and she comes back to me, you can't do anything about it, cause she chose me." He says and I nod, "Yeah, whatever. Do Elle a favor and just leave now."

He nods and I watch him, with my nose still flared, leave. I smile in satisfaction and go inside to find Elle.

Jacob

Once Grayson said I had to leave, I left. I know he wouldn't do anything to Elle, but just in case he would, I decided to move to Utah where my aunt lives. Once I got home I packed everything and told my dad about my decision.

He accepted my choice and told me to leave tomorrow morning if I wanted to. I wanted to get out of here as quickly as I could. I went to bed, thinking about how Elle would feel about this.

Hopefully she will be happy with whatever happens. But what I didn't expect, was for her to make a simple decision, all based on me. I didn't think I meant this much to her.
