"Have you seen Jake?" Nick asked leaning against Chance and Anthony's gaming door frame,
"Um, no not since he started his vlog earlier today, why?" Chance responded glancing at Nick from where he sat, "Is everything okay?" He asked frowning, "Oh, everythings fine, some new merch came in the mail, and I thought he'd like to see it, that's all," Nick said before chuckling a bit "Jake's been leaving at night a lot lately huh?" He commented with a pondering look on his face, "He has been, he got a sip of the good life now you can't pay him to stay home" Anthony joked, "What's that mean?" Nick asked frowning, "Me and Chance took him out a couple of weeks ago, he stopped being so stiff and had a drink" Anthony told him, "Oh, you idiots, I hope this doesn't become a habit" Nick fussed, "It won't" Anthony said rolling his eyes, "Do you think we shouldn't have let him do that?" Chance asked sounding a bit more concerned, "I'm not just gonna say Jake doesn't know what he'd doing, but besides pleasure, most people usually take up drinking when they've had a tragedy- Jerika's split is no short of that, exspecially to Jake" Nick told him sternly, Chance looked at him with nervous concern, before Anthony broke the silence.

"You guys worry too much, Jake's just finding 'himself' without Jerika right now, chill" He told them, "Maybe your right" Chance said trying to relax, "Maybe your' wrong" Nick reminded, raising his brows at them before leaving the room.
Chance looked down at his controls nervously, before Anthony started speaking again making him get his head back in.

Jake's Pov

*I pulled up to the park, it had gotten pretty late, so the park light were already on emitting a ominous yellow-ish glow to the otherwise dark park. It wasn't very cold out, considering it is in fact L.A
but still, the swing-sets, slides, and other playground things looked spooky being abandoned
at night, the vibes the place gave off made me shudder.
I walk to a bench near the duck pond, even the ducks aren't out tonight, and for some reason it made me feel like I shouldn't be here at all...I'm not normally scared of the night, but this feeling; It was like I felt something bad about the air, like I was walking into a trap almost-
There she is, blonde hair, slender doll like body, she wore a black crop-top and some red leggings, with bright red lipstick, that made her curved smirk that much more noticable,
she was pretty causal L.A, I know I looked a little messy, a white Jp hoddie, joggers, my hair messy, I feel nervous, almost like I'm gonna be sick, its not like I'm meeting a stranger, but I still feel off, like I'm pushing myself into 'normal' place in my life, after being burned by Eri- Just thinking her name makes me frown and my heart feel heavy- that's exactly why I'm here tonight, to forget and erase Erika's pain from my heart*.
Pov over.

"Jake, how are you?- You look so good!" Alissa said smiling, looking her ex up and down biting her lip, *Wow, did I downgrade* She thought,
"I've been better..." Jake mumbled, still feeling a little awkward, "Wanna go for a little walk and talk, hmm?" Alissa asked reaching up to ruffle Jake's hair, *He sure has grown since when I last saw him* Alissa thought eyeing him again, "Yeah, let's go" Jake said trying to sound like his normal bubbly self, the two started walking beside each other along the empty parks path, their conversation slowly picking up.

"Remember when we snuck in that graveyard? You were so scared!" Jake laughed, "I had a right! You always got me in dumb situations!" Alissa yelled half joking, "I got you making dumb cash too" Jake reminded her poking at her nose, she grabbed his hand looking slightly up to meet his eyes, "That you did" Alissa said slowly, Jake lightly chuckled before getting his hand back,
"Jake did you ever think we'd be talking and laughing like this again? Its like fate or something" She said grinning waggling her eyebrows in a goofy manner, Jake laughed again,
"I actually thought we'd only talk in twitter fights, to be honest" Jake told her with a smirk,
"There's so much more to life, then fighting and bad feelings," Alissa said hugging Jake's arm
"Don't you think?" She questioned looking up at him, "Definetly" Jake responded, even though he didn't exactly believe the 'bad feelings' remark, his mind drifting to Erika.

"Did you come in your car Jakey?" Alissa asked, "Duh" Jake chuckled, "Can you give me a ride home? I ubered here, and its getting real late" Alissa asked, "Sure" Jake said taing her to his tesla, which Alissa was too busy gawking at to notice Jake looking a little unnerved and sad seeing Alissa get in the passenger seat, all he could think of was how he brought that car for him and ERIKA'S family, it still hurt his heart watching someone sit in Erika's seat, *She didn't want that sit, she gave it up for another man* Jake thought feeling a sting go through him.

"How fast does this thing go? Show me something Jake!" Alissa commanded as she felt around his slik interior, "Your asking for it" Jake chuckled, pressing on the gas after he got unto the streets, making Alissa scream in delight, "You're insane!" Alissa screamed gripping Jake's arm digging her nails into it as he drove, it hurt, but he liked the contact so he kept his mouth shut.
After a while of showing off, Jake was about to start driving Alissa home, when she cursed silently. *What's Banks and Ricegum gonna think if I pull up in this? They'll know its Jake's ride* Alissa thought nervously, "Jake!" Alissa screeched at him, making him jump, "What?" He asked frowning, "Can I see the Team 10 mansion? Please?" Alissa begged squeezing Jake's arm once again.

Jake bit the inside of his jaw, knowing he'd get millions of questions if he brought Alissa back,
but at the same time he didn't want to be in bed alone "You have to be quiet if I brin you" Jake told her "I have to be quiet? Look who's talking," Alissa laughed at him, "Don't worry, I can be a good girl, I won't leave you, I know your not gonna hesitate having someone to keep you warm tonight" Alissa purred, knowing she dug in Jake's already hurting heart with her remark,
Jake swallowed hard, but didn't speak as he heard Alissa giggle before settling back in her seat.

Jake took Alissa home dispite his heart telling him 'No', his brain also told him he needed her to repair what Erika broke and left. Jake had to sneak her in, he brought her to one of the empty rooms still not wanting her in his room, on the bed he shared with Erika before.
Alissa laid back on the bed grinning at Jake, "Tired?" She asked coyly, "I need a drink" Jake said walking out, he went to Chance's room in search of alcohal to get him through the night, what he didnt know was Chance had already went to bed.

"Jake? Your back, why are you up?' Chance asked his voice a bit hoarse from sleeping,
Jake cursed in his head turing around with a bottle of beer.
