Chapter 7 - What Are We?

~Masiah's POV~

I woke up groaning. I tried to look around, but the room was spinning. I had a big head ache. In my blurry vision, I saw a figure.

"Jake?" I mumble.

The figure came closer and I was right. It was indeed Jake. He looked as handsome as ever. He just looked a little stressed.

I sat up with a sigh. "Hi." I whisper to him with a small smile. He didn't return it though. He was in serious mode.

"The neighbors witnessed what happened with your father and they called the police. He was taken away and is probably currently getting questioned. It's up to you if you want to press charges against him or not." he informed me, analyzing my reaction.

All of a sudden, everything rushed to me. My father trying to take me, Jake saving me, our feeling confession, my mother telling me about having a little brother or sister and me fainting. I felt woozy again and immediately clutched my head in my hands.

Jake must have noticed because he came over to comfort me. He grabbed me and rubbed me. He kissed my head. I let out a sigh in despair.

"I don't deserve you Jake." I mumble into his skin.

I pulled away to look at his reaction. He didn't have one though. He just grabbed me again and held me with a sigh.

I got up and off of him. I glared at him. "Jake, tell me how you feel." I insist.

He got up and stood in front of me with his intimidating height. He just shrugged at me like he didn't care. "What's the point?" He asked.

I was shocked. Completely stunned. "What do you mean?" I breathe out in complete shock.

He chuckled humorlessly. "I'm not telling you my feelings because there isn't a point of it. You don't care about me. You never will. I finally accepted that." he says with a shrug.

What is he talking about? I always cared about him.

"I always cared about you Jake. I always will." I say firmly.

He bursts into laughter. It wasn't real laughter. It was sarcastic and mocking laughter. "You?" he asked pointing at me. "Caring about me?" he asked pointing to himself. He started laughing harder. "That's freaking hilarious." He finishes.

What is wrong with him?

"Jake are you alright?" I asked him worried.

He rolled his eyes and say on my bed. "I'm fan-fucking-tastic Masiah. How about you?" he asked me with a fake curious expression taking over his face.

He was hurt. Beyond hurt. I could tell. I don't even know if I could fix it this time. He looked destroyed. If you read him closely, you could see it. All the life that is usually in his green irises is gone. His eyes are now a very dark green. He looked lifeless. What the hell did I do now?

"Look, I know I hurt you Jake-" I was saying, but I was cut off by his humorless chuckle.

He rolled his eyes. "You didn't hurt me." he says. I didn't? "No. You completely broke me Masiah. I'm done waiting for you if your going to do stuff like this to me. I won't put up with it. No one deserves what you are doing to me. It's absolute torture." He says and tugs viciously to his hair.

"I don't understand..." I trailed off.

What did I do?

"Ok. I'm going to do this in a way you will understand... hopefully." he says. I nod my head. "Through music." He finishes. "It explains every feeling I have been feeling lately except a few. Just listen, Masiah."
