Say It Like You Mean It

Chapter 2

"Wake up, girlie." I hear Jacob say.
I moan. "Jesus Christ. You slept in your gear?" He says surprised. "Dude, I always do. And also, I don't fully trust you not to sexually harass me." I say shooting him a look. "You got a point." Jacob sighs. "Just be happy I even took my mask of." I smile. "Your buddy says we have to leave by ten."  "What time is it now?" I ask. "Eh... 7:30ish."  "Good, now sho! I would like to change my bra and underwear please!" I say shoving him out the door. "Awww I wanted to help you..." He pouts. "Yeah I don't think so bruh." I say shutting the door in his face. I also lock it for good measure. I quickly change, spray dry shampoo on my head, put on some weird perfume to throw off my scent if anyone followed us, and of course, my mask. I went down stairs and found Jacob. "Where to next?" He smirks. "Arizona." I say walking out the door. "Hey, Wait up!" I hear Jacob say as he topples over chairs trying to catch up. He then catches up with me, and leans up against my shoulder as we walk. We walk in silence, until we come to a restroom. "Thank GOD." I say, "I was holding it forever!"  "I'll wait out here." Jacob says. I go up and knock on the door, even though nobody's probably here. I here no answer, so I walk in and do my business. I come out, and some one covers their hands over my eyes. "Guess who?" Someone says. "Jacob." I answer casually, assuming it's him. "Wrong." It answers.He grasps me throat, and puts me up against a tree. I try to scream, put nothing comes out. They're squeezing my throat so hard, I can't even move. I keep trying to reach for my gun, but I'm paralyzed. He pins me to the ground, and strokes a knife right under my neck. "Aren't you lovely?" He says. "Maybe I should rape you then kill you. Well, no matter. You're dead meat either way." He smirks. His breath stinks like weed. By this time, I'm fighting to breathe, and stay conscious. My eyes keep slowly opening and closing, and they're becoming really heavy. "LEAVE HER ALONE!" I hear a familiar voice. I'm able to tilt my head a little just enough to see a pissed off Jacob, pointing a gun to the guys head. The guy squeezes me really hard, then let's me go. I try to scramble away but I'm too weak. "RUN !" Jacob shouts at me. "I-I c-can't..." I say weakly. "She's already dead." The guy says. "Shut up!!" Jacob screams, while pulling the trigger. He rushes over to me, and removes my mask. "C-come on girlie... C-come on Mira... stay with me..." By then, I had my eyes closed. I feel a little warmth on my lips, but after that, I don't remember anything.

I slowly open and close my eyes, clearing my vision. I look up to see Jacob carrying me. I poke his cheek. He looks down and smiles. "Mira!! Jesus Christ you gave me a scare!!" He says hugging me. "You can put me down now." I say. As soon as he does, I realize I'm too weak to stand, and I almost topple over before Jacob catches me. "Stupid legs!" I scream in frustration. "Calm down. I'll just carry you." He says. I roll my eyes. "What ever." We finally make it to a central market. By this time, I had my arm around Jacob's neck, using him for support. I sell my bow and arrows so I can have room for my sword on my back. I try walking, and end up limping. It's good enough for me, but Jacob keeps asking me if I'm okay. Not that I'm complaining or anything. It's actually nice having a partner around.  "Hey girlie, you hungry?" Jacob asks. "I could use a bite to eat." I say. "My treat." He says. We walk into a Taco Bell. We place our orders, and grab it for takeout. "This is good!" I say with my mouth full. When we finished, we got ice cream. I squeeze Jacob's arm. "Thanks again for the food!" I say.
"Ohhh... N-no problem." He blushes a little, then it quickly goes away. Like something stopped him. I didn't think about it to hard. We walk around. I stop when I see a man selling masks. I suddenly see a half face one. It has two gas mask filters, one on each side. And it had a zipper for my mouth. "HOW MUCH IS IT?" I ask. "15 dollars ma'am." I slam it down on the table and grab the mask. "Hey, Jacob, could you put this on for me?" I ask excitedly. "Sure. No problem girlie." He puts it on, and I look in a tiny mirror that Jacob had. I put some eyeliner on and say, "Bitch, I'm fabulous." Jacob laughs. We walk out of the town prepared for a fight, since lots of gangs wait for people to come out of the safe zones so they can kill you or rob you or God knows what. A couple people try to attack us, and they're pretty strong. But Jacob reassured me that we could take them down. There were a total of nine people. We already took four down. That left five. And they were pretty good. As I was thinking of a way to overpower them, something pushed me to the ground. She turned me around and licked her knife. "Oh, we're gonna have fun tonight." She giggles. She aims the knife at my left lung. It might kill me, but if it doesn't, I'll probably wish I was dead. I then see a quick flash, and next thing I know, Jacob had killed her. He must've seen my eyes and how shocked they were because he said, "I told you when we first met, I would protect those who want the same for this world. That means, I have to protect you, also." I smiled. I open my mouth zipper to speak. "Sometimes, you really mess with my heart you know that?" He smirks as he hauls me up to my feet. "You took all of them out?!?" I ask, amazed.

(I highly suggest turning on Linkin Park One More Light and continue reading because trust me, it adds a lot more feels.)

"It was easy. All of them were focusing on you," I blush. "And they should be," He continues, "Because you're the coolest person I've ever known." I blush even more. He starts to lean in for a kiss, and I do too. "I-I can't." He says, and runs away. "Wait, Jacob!" I cry. I chase after him.
"There's somebody else Ok?" He cries. I feel sprinkles on my face. It's starting to rain. "Then why'd you become my partner?," I yell. "Just to break my heart ?" He shakes his head. It's starting to pour. "I can't! She's dead ok? I promised I wouldn't fall in love with no one else. She said I was foolish, and would spend the rest of my life moping over her." Jacob cried. I slowly walked over to him. Then, he slapped my hand away. "Don't touch me." He said. I started to sob and walk away. I get pretty far, when he grabs my wrist. "Leave me alone!" I sob. I sink to the ground. Jacob still has my wrist. He kneels down in front of me. "She was right. Maybe I need to live and let die." He said. Then, he kissed me. He leans into my cloak, and cries. I stroke his hair. We both sob and hug each other.
