Hey loves! How is everyone doing? Sorry haven't been able to update lately. But I promise I'll update more after my exams :). Anyway this update wasn't going to go up until Saturday but because everyone was asking for it. Here you go <3

The scent seemed to linger on my body longer than I wanted it to. Every breath made me weaker and weaker. It was like a drug; I knew it made me weak yet I couldn’t stop consuming it. I looked through more of his stuff. There was a copy of ‘A walk to Remember.’ He had told me how much he loved that book. He had probably read it a million times.

It wouldn’t have been so sad if Alex and I had been separated by something inevitable, like my death. I could blame someone at least. The part that hurt me the most was that he chose to leave me, to not be with me. Maybe I didn’t deserve to be loved. Sometimes I wish I could give my life to someone who needs it more, someone who is loved.

Being rejected is probably one of the worst feelings in the world. Some of you might think I’m another of those cliché teenage girls sobbing over a breakup, but the truth is, it’s really painful. Not all damages are physical. Not all pain can be measured. Some scars are on our souls. When the person you’d planned your entire life with, walks out of it, without any rhyme or reason, you get emotionally broken.

I didn’t realize I had been sitting there for hours. I took off the jacket nervously and put it back in. I couldn’t let anything distract me. I didn’t have much time. Jake could be up any moment.

When I returned into my room, I realized Jake was already up. I got a bit panicky but I tried to stay composed in my voice.

“Baby, are you up?” I went and sat beside him by the bed.

“Where were you?” Jake asked me.

“Just exploring the house a little.”I smiled.

“You have dirt all over you; want to hop in the shower?” He winked.

“Yeah, but alone.” I tried not to sound cold.

While Jake was in the shower, I decided to use his phone; that should contain some information. It was password protected. Damn.

What could a guy like Jake put as his password? Money? Beer? Girls?

I decided to go with the traditional date of birth.

Wrong password. 2 attempt(s) remaining.

It is said a person put his/her most beloved or hated thing as the password, something constantly in the mind. Now from as much I had known Jake, he was more of a hate person.

So I began evaluating my options. Stacy? Alex? Me? It still didn’t make any sense. Suddenly I heard a door slam shut. Jake was out of the shower. I quickly hid the phone in between the sheets. He had decided to come out shirtless, with only a towel wrapped around his waist. It was almost like déjà vu, the first time that I had visited the mansion.

Only everything was different now. I wasn’t the innocent shy Katy. Jake wasn’t the predator. Alex wasn’t in love with me. Not anymore. I flinched at my last thought.
