Come Back

18 // Tension

Jake's POV-
I woke up today and I had school. I groaned as I got out of bed. I got ready and couldn't get the events of yesterday out of my head.
"I love you Jake" kept replaying in my head. Her soft voice that makes me weak to my knees. I loved her, I still love her.. But what she did to me, truly hurt. That, and Chance and I are becoming close again, I missed it. My trio.
I walk downstairs, in search of a quick breakfast. I grabbed a granola bar and headed out. Before I reached the door, Jerry stopped me.

Jerry: Hey son-
Jake: Okay Jerry, don't call me that. I'm glad that you make my mom happy and all, but I am not your son.
Jerry: Sure thing Jakey.. Anyways, I wanted to ask you a question before you head to school.
Jake: Just Jake, and I got time. Shoot.
Jerry: How come Tessa comes home late from Erika's every night? I mean doesn't Erika want to spend time with you?

He nudged his elbow on my arm, trying to be funny. "Her boyfriend" he said with a chuckle. My grin soon turned into a frown.

Jake: Oh- Erika and I aren't dating. And as for Tessa.. You should ask her. That is definetly not my place-
Jerry: Oh. Okay. Thanks son- I mean Jake.
Jake: Tell my mom I said bye. And that I love her. I didn't wanna wake her.
Jerry: You got it. Have a good day.

With that I walked out the door and to my car. Logan had left earlier this morning to meet some girl, and Tessa with Chance, at school. I guess I was riding solo today. As I drove to school memories from the party flashed in my head.
Erika's lips meeting with others who weren't mine. She laughed and giggled as the guy would beg for more. Her arms wrapped around his neck. All I could think about is those kisses. Why would she do that to me? I know she said she was drunk, but it didn't make it fair.
I finally arrived at school, cutting my dark thoughts off. As I pull in to a parking spot, Anthony and Erika walked pass my car. I quickly got off and met up with them.

Jake: Hey guys, whats up?
Anthony: Yo bro, I texted you last night, did you get it?
Jake: Oh no let me check.

-----TEXT-----
Anthony: Yo bro, Erika has some guy over.
Anthony: Should I kick him out?
Anthony: Bro, they're talking about you..
Anthony: What a damn bitch. I'm going to kick him out.
Anthony: She's mad at me. But i don't care, I got your back bro.
----TEXT END----

I look up and look at Anthony, he nods his head. I look over at Erika who is smiling at her phone. I lost it, I was done being the nice guy. She doesn't even care. I became really petty and ruthless after this.

Jake: Yo Tony, I'm trynna hit up the club tonight. You down? I know Chance has a girl but he can go for... moral support.
Anthony: I'm so down dude. I haven't hit anything in a month.
Jake: Yeah bro, I feel you.

Erika looks up and rolls her eyes. She was clearly annoyed by our conversation and I loved it.

Erika: What will Rocky think Anthony?
Anthony: I broke up with her, after Aspen
Erika: Wait.. why?
Anthony: I saw her kissing MULTIPLE guys at the party.

He says with a smirk, as if he were describing Erika instead. I shake my head and chuckle because he clearly does not give a f-ck. Erika gives him a death stare.

Erika: Really? Well whatever, I'm going to find Tessa. You guys are disgusting.
Anthony: BYE

She rolls her eyes again and walks away. I quickly turn to Tony and whisper, "Tell me what they said." He flashed a smile and started to explain. Basically she said that I didn't give her a chance to explain , and I was so unfair to her. I scoff and just shrug it off.

Jake: Whatever dude. I'm actually done with her. I was gonna give her another chance, but literally f-ck her.
Anthony: Yeah dude, you don't need her... Oh look her comes Chance.
Chance: Whats up my dudes?
Anthony: We are going to the club tonight.
Chance: wait, wait, wait... I have a chick, and i dont know-
Jake: Relax bro, it's mostly for me. And a little for Tony. We just need you there for support. Plus i want to get out of my mind wasted.
Chance: I.. don't know-
Anthony: Stop being a little bitch dude.
Chance: You know what? I'm in.
Anthony: That's my boy
Chance: Is Logan coming?
Jake: Most likely, he should be the easiest to convince.
Chanthony: True.

We walk over to where the squad meets and all the girls were there. And things got pretty heated when Anthony and Rocky met eyes.

Anthony: Hey cheater.
Rocky and Erika: Shut up Anthony
Anthony: I was talking To Rocky, but if the shoe fits..
Erika: Wait, she actually-
Anthony: yup just like you.
Chance: Thank god my girl knows wassup.
Tessa: Not the time Chance.
Erika: You know what? We weren't even dating, so i didn't technically cheat-
Jake: Cut the crap Erika. You did wrong and you know it.
Erika: I'm sorry.. Were we a thing? *says sassy*
Jake: Would you have liked for me to hook up with 10 girls there?
Anthony: It was 12 actually.
Rocky & Erika: SHUT UP ANTHONY
Jake: Is he lying?
Erika: You know what? He's not. I kissed so many guys, and they all kiss better than you. I almost went all the way with one, and now i regret not doing it.

Everyone went silent. She was looking at me right in the eyes with hate, and anger. I stared back. I was heating up and gripping my backpack straps. "Slut" escaped from my mouth.

Chance: Jake, come on bro. That was a little too far..
Jake: what would you call someone who kisses twelve guys in one night? When shes with someone else..
Anthony: Uhhh... a slu-
Chance: Tony!

Anthony motions like he zipped his lips up and stayed quiet.

Jake: I also know you had a guy over last night. Real classy Erika.
Erika: why do you care? You're going to the club.
Jake; BECAUSE YOU CHEATED
Erika: WE WEREN'T TOGETHER

Chance came in between Erika and I and pushed up away from each other a little.

Chance: Look obviously you guys can't be in the same room, so Tony take Jake and Tessa take Erika.

Anthony pulls my arm softy and tells me to follow him. I couldn't stop looking into Erika's eyes. And she mine. Once we pulled away from each other we go to class and I didn't say a word. For the rest of the day.
Erika was on my mind all day..

HEY GUYS!!!! SORRY FOR SUCH A LATE UPLOAD. I HOPE YALL LIKE THIS CHAPTER!!!! EVEN THOUGH I KNOW YALL ARE GONNA HATE ME LOLOLOLOLOL

Love yall.
