Best Friends Neighbour

Gone (Chapter 4)

Hey guys! So glad you have made it to chapter 4! This chapter will show different perspectives between a couple characters. If you get confused just drop a comment and I will try my best to help you out. I thought this may reveal some personalities more. If you don't like the perspective idea...again just drop a comment. Hope you like it!

The pain. Pain was all I could feel. I couldn't feel anything but pain. Pain from my leg, which was now being taken care off, and the pain of broken trust. I thought Jacob was one I could count on, one of the very few in the world I could trust. I know, I know. I had only known him for a couple of days but there was a connection. I felt like I had known him my whole life. But just like everything else in my life, when there's good, bad isn't too far behind....especially with guys. I hadn't felt this hurt since, well since Zane.

I was alone. The hospital was boring. Avery came to visit me and cursed under her breath every time she saw my leg. She brought me my favorite chocolate milkshake from the one and only Zimbo's! Zimbo's was my favorite little café where I could buy my favorite shake. Avery brought me two shakes but even that wasn't enough to cheer me up.

"Come on girl! I'm your best friend and I cant even make you smile, then what can?!" she whined. I gave her a faint smile. The scene from yesterday played on repeat in my head. Her, him, the car, the kiss. Too much had happened in less then five minutes.

"Look, Aves, do you mind...I kinda just wanna be alone right now, if that's okay, please?" I asked, and she gave me an understanding nod and walked towards the door, before freezing in her tracks. I recognized the towering obstacle without seeing a face. I could literally feel the heat coming of Avery as she blocked the door way.

"Please, Avery, I need to see her," his deep voice insisted.

"Oh yeah, you had your chance last night you douche bag!" she screamed as she shoved him back.

"Aves, it's fine, he's fine. I can do this. You need to be at work anyway, I'll be fine, I promise," I spoke calmly. She walked out nudging Jacob in the shoulder as she walked past.

He entered silently. He sat on the edge of my bed where I laid. It was so quiet I could here him breathing. I felt safe. Then, memories of yesterday came flooding back to my head. I couldn't look at him, so I looked out the window. The light from the sun bothered my eyes but it was less painful than looking at Jacob. What he did hurt... he didn't care, Aves was right.

Jacob

Man, she was in pain. Her leg, all bandaged up, her hands shaking. She couldn't even look at me. I regretted everything. But what was I supposed to do. Her eyes, she was in pain. Not physical pain, but mentally and I knew it was my fault. Not a word was said. I stared at her while she stared out the window.

"I-I-I thought I could count on you," she finally mumbled. I lowered my head.

"I'm really sorry, I'm sorry about Lexi, I'm sorry I took you to the boardwalk, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you," I said and brushed a strand of her golden hair out of her eyes. She finally looked at me, but I wish she hadn't. All I could see was more pain. I was getting heated. I looked away. I stare at the door but her soft touch on my cheeks guided me to face her.

What was I doing. I can't do this. I lifted her hand from my cheek and placed it on the bed.

"Look Brooklyn, I cant do this. You're a fool for thinking I can play nice. I can't, and I don't regret anything." I stammered. She looked shocked.

Brooklyn

I looked at him. I could see anger dominating every nice thing about him in his eyes. I sat up in my bed.
