Always// Jacob Sartorius • Mark Thomas • Blake Gray • Hunter Rowland

Chapter 16

We arrived at Mark's class just as he was entering the room. I pulled him out of the class and stepped aside. "What are you doing? I have class!" He said, trying to escape from my hold. "What does Stacey have on you?" Jacob asked, sternly looking down over him. "Nothing!" Mark replied, still trying to escape. "We heard you in English class today! Stacey obviously has something on you!" Mark took a deep breath and stared Jacob down. "I would stop questioning me if I were you." Jacob rolled his eyes. "And why is that?" "Because the whole reason, 'Jacob Sartorius', that I moved here was to take you down! You should have never been offered that contract, it should've been me! Then you go out and get all famous, and I shrink to a nobody!" By this point, Mark was yelling. Jacob and I looked at each other. Definitely not the response I was looking for. "What?" Jacob said quietly. "I thought we were friends..." Jacob looked down while Mark was laughing. "Oh, the reason Stacey and I started dating? Was because she hated that you liked Emma more than her. She hates you just as much as I hate you." I released my grip on Mark. There was no point in holding him back anymore. Mark chuckled and walked into his class. What had just happened?

After school ended, I rushed home and went straight to my room. 

Me: you ok?

Jacob: No, not really

Me: do you want to come over? 

Jacob: I'll be over in 5

I went downstairs and grabbed a snack. As soon as I picked a bag of chips, the doorbell rang. "Hey! Come on in... You ok?" Jacob walked in and sat on my couch. "Honestly, no." I sat down beside of him and he grabbed my bag of chips. "Sure, you can have them." I laughed. He opened the bag of chips and started eating. "Let's go to my room." I took the chips away from him and stood up. I took his hand, not even realizing what I was doing, and led him to my room. He plopped down on my bed and I sat beside him. "You know, you haven't posted anything on Instagram since you got out of your coma." Jacob said to me, reaching his hand into the bag of chips I was holding. "I haven't really been on Instagram. I'm more in the moment. I don't want to waste time on social media with only 3 month left." I rested my head on his shoulder and pulled out my phone. Maybe it was time I go back to Instagram. I pulled out my phone and logged into Instagram. 

@jacobsartorius tagged you in a photo. 

I opened the photo and it was a photo of us in the hospital. (Pictured Above In Media.) "Praying she gets better soon.❤️" I smiled and looked up at him. " I seriously cannot thank you enough for everything you've done. I can't believe I hated you at first." We laughed remembering the things I had said to him. I rested my head back on his shoulder and turned on Netflix. He decided on a movie to watch while I made popcorn. Maybe Jacob Sartorius wasn't so bad after all.
