Saved by her

Chapter 4

Jakes POV: I haven't seen Alissa in maybe like a week. I rarely talked to anyone, I ate on my own, I think Erika likes me. I don't want to have feelings for anyone, at least not anymore. But as I laid in bed today, Erika bashed threw the door.

Erika: JAKE!! Alissa is here and she's looking for you.

I roll my eyes and get up without saying a word, I pass by Erika and slowly walk downstairs to Alissa yelling at everyone, basically going psycho.

Jake: Alissa?
Alissa: Jake there you are we need to talk.
Jake: okay...I'm listening.
Alissa: in private!!
Jake: I'd rather not.
Alissa: I didn't ask.

I sighed as she started pulling me to my room, the other just looked at us.

Jake: I thought we were "over"
Alissa: that's what you think *winks*
Jake: what's that supposed to mean?
Alissa: you and Erika? You guys a thing?
Jake: no why?
Alissa: I saw you kiss her.
Jake: and? It didn't mean anything.

Erikas POV: I had my ear to the door the entire time. Jake just said our kiss didn't mean anything. But it did. To me it did. I need to chill with all this stuff.

Alissa: you better not be messing with other people.
Jake: I'm not. Either way, we're not together anymore.
Alissa: that's what you believe, but trust me I only said that so everyone could believe it. We're never done.
Jake: you need to leave.
Alissa: and if I do, we're never separated. And your never gonna day a word.
Jake: okay. Whatever.
Alissa: I'll be back baby boy.
Jake: just go.

Alissa walks out the door with a smirk on her face. She leaves without saying a word.

Jakes POV: why her? Why is she like this? I wish she could just leave forever. I hate feelings. I love and hate her. Honestly I'm just wishing to be dead, to be away from her forever, to be asleep and never wake up. She's like messing with me. I locked myself inside my room. For the rest of the day. Everybody is worried about me but I could careless. They should careless. Erika is such a good person, she's like the only one who is willing to sit there and listen to me sob for hours. I trust her with everything. Sometimes she tells me how she feels too. It's so relaxing and calm when I'm around her. Like everything in my head stops. Am I..actually falling for her? No no no. I can't. She'll probably hurt me too. Alissa says that we aren't over. But I just want to be over already. I think I'm gonna text Alissa and tell her. I just can't be with her anymore. She's putting me through too much pain. I want it to be over. Forever.
I stayed up all night thinking if I should text her or not. Is it bad to break up over texts? I'm scared to go up to her in person. It's like 4am right now, I think i have to.

Texts*

Jake: you up?
Alissa: yeah I am Im with Logan.
Jake:um okay...we need to talk.
Alissa: okay well make it fast.
Jake: we have to break up. We're done Alissa. Over. Don't crawl back to me, don't say "that's what you think" or anything like that, cause we're done. Nothing could make me change my mind.
Alissa: okay. Don't think just cause we're broken up doesn't mean I'm gone. Im always gonna be here even if you don't want me to.
Jake: okay whatever, bye.
Alissa: bye bye, let me finish up with your brother.
Jake: your hooking up with him?
Alissa: surprised much? Aren't you hooking up with Erika right now? Is that why your up?
Jake: I'm not with Erika, me and her aren't like that,I'm up cause I can't sleep because of thinking about you, how you hurt me all the time, how you played me, how you always cheated and I never did anything about it, just you being a horrible person. I'm glad I'm getting you out of my life.
Alissa: trust me, your gonna regret what you had just said. I'm never out of anyone's life. Bye bye for now.
Read 4:27am

Jakes POV: what the fuck. I just broke up with her. She's with my brother. It feels like a billion tons just got lifted off my chest. My scars on my body feel like they're slowly fading away. I fall onto my bed and smile. My throat feels dry.
I get up and walk downstairs to get some water. When I make it down fully I see Erika sipping on coffee alone, sitting on the island. She was staring out onto the sunrise.

Jake: your up?
Erika: I'm always up this early.
Jake: oh okay.

I walk past her and grab a water bottle. I sit right besides her, and she looked at me and smiled.

Erika: you look tired, did you sleep?
Jake: no. I got something to say.
Erika: go on.

Erikas POV: he looks happy for once. I really like this kid.

Jake: I broke up with her. I got her out of my life.
Erika: really? Good. I'm happy for you. How'd you do it?
Jake: I just told her how I was really feeling and broke up with her.
Erika: good. I knew you seemed happier.
Jake: she was hooking up with my brother when I was texting her.
Erika: wowzers. I'm just glad she's out of here.
Jake: same.
Erika: I need to tell you something.
Jake: yeah?

He smiled at me. He seemed really happy to be out of a toxic relationship. I think I'm gonna tell him how I feel.

Erika: I really like you Jake. I care for you so much. I..think I love you.
Jake: um...I'm gonna go back up to my room.

Right as he said "um" I looked away with shock. I knew I shouldn't have said it. He just got out of a really horrible relationship. Am I fucking stupid? Why'd I tell him. Obviously he doesn't feel the same.

Erika: oh yeah okay, um just forget I said anything.

He didn't reply and just walked up stairs. I feel so stupid.
