Jake Paul:Comatose Love

Chapter 29 Missin' Us

"E-excuse me?" Ebony questioned backing up a little, "I said...Are you done out here Erika?" Anthony asked her again chuckling lightly at her scared shocked expression, "How did you-?" Erika was about to question, but Anthony pointed at her phone making her gasp, "When I came out I saw the light, I came around the back so you wouldn't see me" Anthony said, "Why we're you spying in the first place!?" Erika huffed holding her phone close to her, "Well, when Logan said you were out here, he also mentioned you seemed oddly passionate about the Erika and Jake break up, I thought it was worth checking out, I was gonna ask, but your phone caught my eye" Anthony explained with a little shrug, "I guess you decided to become the next Sherlock, instead of a vlogger" Erika said sounding slightly annoyed, "What are you getting all mad at me for? I'm not the one lying to everyone," Anthony said, Erika swallowed nervously, "Hmm, then again, since I know and haven't told anyone, I guess I am lying too, maybe I'll just..." He said turning to walk towards the house, but Erika quickly grabbed his arm, "Wait! You aren't your just not being a snitch!" Erika said frantically,
"Oh?" Anthony questioned, he got out of Erika's grip turning around to look at her.

"What's in it for me, if I keep your little secret?" Anthony asked smugly, "I..Um, I don't know?" Erika said
her nerves getting worse and worse, "Wow, you're terrible at negotiating" Anthony said laughing,
"Anthony please, I know this looks bad, but its not, trust me!" Erika pleaded, "I don't have a reason to...
But then again I don't have a reason not to, Ebony" Anthony said with a wink, before he started to walk back to the house, "So this means you won't say anything to anyone?!" Erika asked, "We'll see" Anthony said coyly
going back in, Erika swallowed nervously, fixing her clothes before following Anthony back in.
*I'm dead if he tells anyone...* Erika thought, thinking about how hostile the team must be towards her now,
it felt weird being inside the mansion again, it seemed so much bigger now that she was living in a small apartment.

'Ebony' walked through the place that had already quieted down now, everyone probably exhausted after the excitement they had at the hospital not too long ago, *I guess I should head to bed too* Erika thought,
she started to walk upstairs heading to Jake's room, she was about to fully open he ajar door, but stopped her head down, bangs shading her face, her nails clicking the doorknob quietly. *What am I doing? I don't stay here anymore...* Erika thought feeling her heart ache, she let go of the doorknob it opened just a little more as she was walking away.

"Ebony?" She heard a voice quietly call her, she looked back seeing Logan sitting on the side of Jake's bed his hand on his head, while Jake laid on his back asleep, his wrapped arm across his torso,
'Ebony' turned back around looking at him, "Hmm?" She questioned, Logan quietly motioned her over, and feeling a little awkward she walked in.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Ebony asked, "I was just sitting with Jake while he sleeps, not to get mushy or anything, but I do care about the kid, I didn't want him to move wrong or something and hurt himself" Logan said his eyes averting back to Jake some concern and softness in his eyes, Ebony came closer standing beside Logan, a small bittersweet smile coming across her face, "Your a good older brother, Logan Paul" Ebony said gently, Logan dryly chuckled, "Sometimes..." He mumbled, he then looked at Ebony, "I guess I should head out now, I'm sure you want to get in" Logan said standing up slowly, taking his hand out of Jake's hair, while he snored a little in response.

"I wanna what?" Ebony questioned nervously, "I just assumed since you two were smashing, you might want to stay?" Logan asked laughing quietly as he watched 'Ebony' get flustered, "Aye! You gave yourself away,
I see you blushing" Logan teased, "Your a idiot" Ebony mumbled, "That's how I make a living" Logan said with a small bow, "Anyways, look after my brother, if anything goes wrong just call me in, I think I'll stay ovr tonight too, just in case" Logan said a little more serious, "Um, okay, good night I guess" Ebony said nervously, Logan nodded gently ruffling Jake's hair before he left.

Ebony stood there frozen after Logan closed the door, she felt shaky all over, should she get in?
It'd probably be even more weird if she was just lying on the couch in his room when Jake woke up right?
'Ebony' shook her head, trying to freak out, she did a shuddering sigh before going into Jake's closet, getting some of his merch, which was of course too big for her, she used that as a 'night-gown' removing the rest of her clothes, she took in a deep breath before slowly getting into the bed, she laid on her side not even getting under the covers, she closed her eyes tightly just trying to fall asleep so she could get up and go home.

Erika kept hearing Jake's voice in her head as she thought of all the memories they had in that bedroom,
how he kissed her, how he hugged her, how he gave her a ring promising to be with her forever, then carried her back into that room, she remembered his morning voice, morning pranks, morning kisses, how he was so excited to be a father, how well he treated her in her pregnancy, from breakfast in bed, to helping her through her mood-swings, making her food, and in general being there for her when she needed him. Erika's eyes were burning now, tears coming down her face, she sniffled trying hard not to start sobbing, *I can't do this* She thought, she would just get up and leave call a Uber home, and just text Jake and tell him she had to work and left.

Erika got ready to get up, but felt a blanket go over her, along with a arm. "Don't cry baby" Erika's red puffy eyes widened hearing Jake's sleepy voice, she felt him press a kiss to her neck, "Its gonna be alright,
I'm here, I'm here Erika" Jake mumbled hugging her to him with his good arm, her eyes widened looking back at Jake her heart rising with fear, but she calmed down noticing he was still asleep, then she felt her stomach sink. *He recognized my cry even in his sleep...He's still thinking about me* Erika thought as she silently cried herself to sleep, wishing she'd never cheated.
