The Escape

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

I had spent the remaining afternoon with Jake, I wasn’t sick anymore. We had wandered around the beach, recollecting seashells, shoving each other in the water. We had a great day.

“Why did you tell me to tell max about me and Leon?” I asked Jake, remembering the comment he made the other day.

“He hasn’t told you yet?” Jake said.

“Tell me what?” I said, looking at him suspiciously. He just laughed.

“Well, its not my duty to tell you, but its something pretty important to him” Jake said, grabbing my hand. As our hands touched, I felt the sparks and the shock, and pulled my hand away. I could tell Jake had felt it too. He put on his sheepish smile. He was just so cute. We were walking towards the boardwalk; Jake wanted to get on some rides. It was a Ferris wheel I hadn’t been on something like that since I was a toddler, and I was jumping up and down to go on it.

“Please step over here miss,” a man said, helping me up to my seat with Jake in the Ferris wheel. It was getting dark, the sun had almost set. We were going up, until I realized the attraction want moving anymore. We were up in the top, and the sun was just setting over the horizon. Several kids screamed, and I heard the manager say that there were problems. Jake laughed.

“Are you scared?” he asked me.

“Me? W-what? N-no” I replied. I was fucking scared. I once had this dream in which the wheel dropped from its place and went rolling and squishing everyone.

“Sure” Jake said, putting his arm around me, and pulling me close to his chest. He smelled of vanilla. I was mesmerized. But I remembered Leon, how sweet he is. I couldn’t resist. I didn’t know how I felt about Jake. We watched the sunset together, and I cuddled in his arm. Do you know how people say that when you see the last wisp of the sun leaving for the other part of the earth, you can wish something, and it would come true? I wished god would just tell me; send me signs, about what I should do, and what I feel about Jake. I knew it was just a stupid thing to ask for, I could’ve asked for a car, a laptop, or whatever, like all other teenagers. But I really felt hopeless in love.

“Jess? What do you want to do now?” Jake said. We had been in the rides all day, he carousel, the Ferris wheel, and a bunch of rollercoaster’s. The time I spent with Jake, I was so happy. It felt so good to be around him, and I was starting to have a thing for him. But I couldn’t, what about Leon?

“Jess? Earth to jess!” Jake said, waving his hand in front of my face. I blushed. Jake laughed hysterically, he was loud.  I said nothing, but he pulled me to a few more rollercoaster’s.

“So, when are you leaving?” Jake asked me out of the blue. He covered his mouth, and looked away from me.

Crap! I hadn’t mean for it to sound that way. I could see that Jessie was hurt. I had made it sound horrible.

“I-I'm sorry,” I said, cupping her face in my hands. I wiped the tears out of her face. I had the urge to kiss her. I loved her so much. But I couldn’t. She had made her choice, and she chose Leon. I couldn’t blow it now. At least we could be friends.

“I-I think ill be heading back in two and a half weeks” she managed out.

“Well, lets make the best of it then” I said, forcing a smile. She smiled sheepishly. How I loved her smile. I didn’t know what she was going to do with max. When she first got here, and I god a look at her, I called dibs. She was the prettiest girl I had seen here. And when I got to know her, I loved her even more. But then max starting getting closer to her, and I could se how he looked at her. I had confronted him, and I got furious at him, because he also wanted Jessie. But then, there was Leon. What was max going to say when Jessie tells him? I bet he would like to kill Leon. That makes two of us. I was fine, and Jessie was too, until we saw something that shocked us both.
