your pov
my breath hitches as i see the messages. my heart races and i try to comprehend what they mean.
"what's wrong y/n/n?" jake questions, noticing my anxious state.
i show him my phone and i see his expression change from confused to angry and back to confused.
"is it-?" he starts.
"i don't know." i admit.
i hear jake sigh and he makes a u-turn.
"it's late." he says.
i stay silent as we start the drive back to the house. my mind is racing with thoughts but my eyes fall heavy.
i see the world start to go black and suddenly i'm not thinking anymore.
jakes pov
as i pull into the driveway, i turn my attention back to y/n. she's asleep. i hear small breaths escape her mouth.
i knew this day would come.
i knew that he'd come back to her.
i would come back to her.
then again, i wouldn't leave in the first place.
but like i've said many times, she's my best friend before anything else. i have to be there for her whenever she needs me.
i open up the passenger door and unbuckle her seatbelt. i lift her into my arms and she wraps her legs around me.
i carry her up to her room and place her on the bed. i take off her shoes and wrap her in the blanket.
as much as i would want to get into that bed with her and hold her in my arms, i know that's not right, so i walk into my room and sit on my bed.
i hope he makes her happy again.
the next morning
your povi wake up in my room with my clothes still on. the last thing i remember is being in jakes car. he must have brought me upstairs.
i had a dream that i got texts from an unknown number telling me to meet them somewhere. i have a lot of those types of dreams since colby left.
i turn to my other side and see my phone sitting next to me. i turn it on and see a text from an unknown number.
unknown number
i'll see you theremy mind is blank. i don't know what this person is talking about.
i open my phone and go to my texts and see that this number texted me multiple times.
unknown number
meet me tomorrowunknown number
you know whereunknown number
11:13 pm is the exact time you need to be thereunknown number
pleasethey're the same messages from my dream. was it a dream? it must not have been.
my thoughts immediately go to colby.
it's him.
but it can't be him.
why now? after all this time, why would he want to meet now?
i look at the time and see it's 11 am.
12 hours until i see him.
i need to talk to someone about this, so i go to jake. he's always there and he knows how to help in every situation.
