The Escape

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

I walk into my house, with a smile crossing my face. Pete spots me, and raises his eyebrow. "Hey" I tell him.

"So, where were you?" he asked me suspiciously.

"I was at, um, jakes and Matt's house" I said, embarrassed.

"And what exactly where you doing there?" he asked and I blushed.

"I um fell asleep there" I said quietly.

"You didn't sleep with Jake, right?" he questioned.

"No! I slept in his bed and he slept in the couch" I lied.

"Oh, okay" he said, buying my lie. I jump up the stairs, and head to my room. I happily jump in my bed, laughing and smiling. I was happy about Jake saying he loved me. I still didn't know what we where, though. I frowned at the thought. I take a cool shower, and put on some clothes. I check on Facebook, added Jake to my friends, and I also added Andrew. I check if Facebook has his number, and it sure does. I decide to text him, so we can meet. I wanted to talk to him about yesterday. As soon as I send the text, he rings me.

"Hey, jess?" he said.

"Yeah, hey Andrew, do you want to meet up today?" I asked him.

"Sure, do you want to meet at the ice cream shop?" he told me.

"Sure! See you in 10!" I said, and hung up. I run for the door and in no time find myself in the ice cream shop. I feel someone tap my shoulder. I turn around, and find Andrew with a huge smile on his face.

"Hey!" I said, and hugged him.

"Hey" he said, laughing and returning the hug.

"What do you want to do?" I asked him.

"Um, I don't know, let's just walk" he said.

"Sure" I said. He takes my hand, and we walk through the beach.

"Andrew, why did you get mad when I said you were lucky of not having brothers or sisters?" I asked him, curious. He stiffens.

"It's a long story" he said, looking at the sand.

"I've got time" I told him.

"Okay, well, you see, I did have a small brother, his name was Harry, he was a little angel. When he was very small, like 3, I was 7, we were playing in the stairs, and I accidentally pushed him to hard, and he fell, it was horrible, he broke his neck and died instantly" he said, his voice almost cracking.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry" I said, regretting ever asking him that.

"No, its okay, it's been a long time" he says, looking into my eyes. Hi soft brown eyes were shining, you could see he was at the verge of tears. He looked away from me, but then look back, with no tears in his eyes. I decided to not talk about that anymore.

"Want to eat something?" he said, approaching the boardwalk.

"Sure" I said. We go to Mario's, a burger place, and before we got in, I saw Jake. He was hand in hand with another girl. Blonde and very slutty. She looked familiar. They were laughing together. Andrew doesn't seem to notice them. I was mad, but I was going to get revenge. I noticed him looking at me, and took Andrew hand, and smiled. I see him frowning, and going away. Andrew and I finish our meal, and go to the beach.

"Wanna go swim?" he asks. I nod. The sea was crystal clear, beautiful. I take out my clothes, and run to the sea. Andrew follows me, and scoops me up in his arms.

"No! Let go!" I scream, laughing. He runs into the ocean, and we jump in. he lifts me, and throws me playfully. I scream and splash into the water. We play for a while, and he then carries me out. He lays me in the sand, and sits beside me. He puts his arm around me, and I rest my head in his shoulder. We talk, hours and hours. It starts getting dark, and the sun is setting.

"I need to go home" I tell Andrew.

"I'll walk you" he said. We stand up, and start walking. We don't say anything to each other in the way, but the silence is nice. We come closer to my house, and I can hear loud music and screams. But they don't come from my house. Jakes garden and house was crowded of drunken teenagers. You could see that matt was gone; evidently he had gone out with Pete. I bid Andrew a goodbye, and I head for my house. I hide in my room, until I see Andrew was far away. It was already dark. I decide to go to jakes place. I put on something more presentable, and go to their house. So, dating a girl and kissing me? Throwing a party and not inviting me? He was going to get it. I stormed inside his house, and I could see people drinking. I looked for him everywhere, but I could find him. His friends apparently did know about me.

"Are you jess?" a guy asked. He had black hair and brown eyes.

"Yeah..." I said awkwardly.

"Oh, I'm max, jakes best friend, he told me about you" as soon as he said this, 5 more guys came close.

"You're jess?" they all exclaimed. I nodded.

"Well, she's sexy" one of them said. I blushed.

"Have you seen him?" I asked them.

"Yeah, he's in his room", one of the guys said. I go upstairs, and burst into his room without knocking. And there was Jake, in his bed, looking scared, and the slutty blonde trying to approach him. Then I realized who that blonde was. It was Marie, Ashley friend. Going for my Jake. What a whore. Ugh! As soon as Jake saw me, Marie turned around, and looked at me, from my toes to my head.

"What is she doing here? Did you invite her? The slut that's going for Andrew bad?" she said, snorting.

"At least I'm not hitting on a player" I said. Jakes jaw hit the floor. I turned around. Laughed, and slammed the door behind me. I fought back my tears, winning. I ran for my house, ignoring jakes friends that were calling for me, and Jake chasing me. I ran to my house, and locked myself in my room. I got into my bathtub, and put on some bubbles, and let the hot water flow. I got my book and began reading. After my relaxing bath, I put on a pair of pajamas and slipped into my bed.

"What are you doing?" I laughed, looking at Andrew trying to sing call me maybe. He was bad. I starting to sing with him, but he soon stopped.

"What? Am I that bad?" I asked him.

"Not at all, you're amazing"

I blushed. Apart from Ellie he was the first one to know how I really sing. He laughed. He had picked me up in the morning, and we were going to surf. We got to the beach, and after a while of surfing, we went to eat pizza. It was a great day, and I had forgotten about Jake the whole day. He hadn't even called or texted. The days passed by fast, I went out with Andrew, hung out with Ashley, and didn't even get a single call from Jake. After a week, I was outside, watching the stars and reading with my flashlight. I saw Andrew coming for my house, and Jake coming out of his. Uh-oh, this was going to be bad.

"Hey" Andrew said. He hadn't noticed Jake looking at us. Jake was frozen behind us. He didn't move. He knew what was coming. Andrew kissed me.
