The Things We Do For Love

Chapter 3

I curse under my breath and open the door and peek out of it, seeing Jessica run into the warehouse, here eyes nearly bulging out of her head when she saw Jake.

I grab my gun and a pair of handcuffs and exit the room, sneaking up behind her.

I smack the gun on the back of her head and she passes out cold to the ground.

I drag her body to another pole and handcuff her to it. I was not going to let her spoil my plans.

I glare at her unconscious body for a few seconds then look at Jake, then hurry into the back room and slam the door.

This was great.

Jessica had to show up to ruin my plans. Like always.

First, in high school, she ruined my plans for a science presentation by not showing up to class. Then, she stole Jake from me. And now, she's ruining my chances of getting him back.

If I couldn't convince to her to bud out, I'd have to make her.

After a bit I go back into the main area, and see that she's awake. I glare slightly at her and kneel in front of her, but before I can even get a word out, she starts yelling.

" Why is Jake here!? Why am I here? Let me go you psycho!!" She yells, droplets of her spot landing on my face.

I slowly wipe them away, trying to keep my composure and not lose my shit.

"First of all, calm the fuck down" I say, my voice stern.

"No! You kidnapped Jake then knocked me unconscious!!"

"SHUT UP!!" I yell at her, and she jumps, but shuts up. I let out a frustrated groan.

"I took Jake because I want him back. You took him from me, Jessica. He was the only guy I ever loved for real and you took that from me." I say, my voice hoarse. I hated reliving the memory but I had to explain to her what she did to me.

She laughs slightly. "That's because he loves me"

I clench my jaw. No.

I lift my eyes and look at Jake, seeing him with his head hung low like a child who got caught for doing something he wasn't supposed to.

It was true.

He did love her.

I let out a shaky breath and stand up, nodding. "Okay"

I bite my lip and turn on my heels and walk into the back room. I close the door and lean against it.

Tears roll down my cheeks.

I should have known.

She had everything I didn't.

She was drop dead gorgeous.

I was me.

Plain...

Normal...

Me.

I wasn't going to let her have him.

He was mine.

And it was going to stay that way.

***

After a few hours, my tears had turned to anger.

I pace the small room, trying to come up with a way to claim Jake as mine again.

Then, it was as if a light bulb lit up above my head.

Without a second thought, I opened the door and marched into the room.

My eyes were red and swollen, and my lips were parted. But I was determined.

They both looked at me, and Jessica smirks when she see's me.

It was clear that I'd been crying.

I ignore her looks and march right up to Jake and kneel in front of him.

Without hesitation, I grab his shirt and press my lips to his.

I could hear Jessica's gasp of disgust at first, but then slowly turned to tears as Jake kissed me back.

God victory felt so good.

His lips were soft, and perfect. They melded with mine.

I pull away, bite my lip, and smile.

Jake looked flustered, and his eyes were searching mine.

I stand back up, and look at Jessica who was in silent tears. I had to fight the smirk wanting to fight it's way to my lips.

I go and kneel in front of her. She avoids eye contact with me until I grab her chin and make her look up at me.

"He is mine" I say, my voice heavy and cold.

Her cries only get louder, and I let out a small laugh and go into the back room, finally letting the smirk appear on my lips.

That kiss had almost claimed him. The only things standing in the way was that Jessica could easily take him away from me.

I couldn't allow that.

I look around the small room until my eyes land on my hand gun I had used to knock both Jake and Jessica unconscious.

I knew I could get Jake to forget out her if he got rid of her.

I grab the gun and stare at it for a few minutes.

Was I really going to make him do this?

Yeah.

I take the gun and go out of the room and into the main area, and kneel in front of Jake. The gun in my hand, I look him in the eyes.

"Kill her..." I whisper, setting the gun in his free hand. His eyes stared at the gun then looked up at me.

"No.." he says and I let out a laugh.

"Do it" I say, my voice more stern this time.

"No!" He yells, causing me to jump. I stand up and pace the room.

"Just do it goddamnit!!" I yell, and he starts to give in as he raises the gun, facing Jessica's temple.

Loud cries start to pour from her lips, and she was visibly trembling in fear.

I could see tears rolling down Jake's cheeks as he clicked the gun.

"I..I can't do this, Natalie.." His voice was shaking. I lift my eyed and look at him.

"Just do it!" I yell angrily, storming off Into the small room and slambming the door.

God he was so fucking difficult! What was so difficult about killing someone!?

My angery thoughts are interrupted by a gunshot, causing me to jump.

I am happy for about half a second before hearing Jake's cries of pain.

Not Jessica's.
