Jake
I woke up feeling like shit. How do you feel like shit? I don't know, but I do.
"Jake!" Yelled my mom.
"What?!" I snapped.
"B-Breakfast is ready
I groaned and walked down the stairs, "I don't want fucking breakfast!"
"You need to eat!!!" Jason screamed.
I glared at him, "you're not my damn dad! You have no fucking right to tell me what to do!"
My mother placed her hand on my shoulder, "honey-"
"Who are you calling honey? Its not like you have a son or anything!"
Most people consider me bipolar and that's probably true but I'm hurt. Hurt that my own mother would kill my sister and try to kill me. My whole life I tried to shut people out because if I don't then they'll get too close and break down my walls I built. Brooklyn did, she destroyed every single wall I had. When she first kissed me, I thought she was faking and there was no way she liked me. I was right, but eventually she'd grown to like me. I never thought I could love someone as much as I love her; I never thought someone could hurt me half as much as she can. Yes my mom hurt me. My step father hurt me. Almost every single friend I ever had hurt me but no one can break me, expect her.
*********
How many times does someone have to tell you that they love you before you actually believe it? I don't know but my head was pounding so bad right now.
"B!" Sav yelled from the kitchen.
"What!?"
"Someone is here to see you."
My heart beat quickened. What if it was Jake? Did he come to see me because he realized I didn't me to hurt him?
I practically ran to the door and threw it open only to have the smile wiped off my face.
"What do you want?" A growl escaped my lips as I saw her.
"Hey Brooklyn, um can I come in?"
"No."
"Please, we really need to talk."
"Do we? What about because I really don't want to talk to you."
She sighed, "I came to apologize."
I rolled my eyes, "sure you did."
"I'm serious. I may have payed the guy that flirted with you to do it because I knew you were wasted."
My heart stopped, "that was you?" Anger boiled within me as I thought about how much I wanted to arrange her face, "why?!"
She refused to look at me, "I was upset. Jake loved you and I just couldn't see why but now I do, you mean everything to him."
"Madison you're mean, rude and a bitch."
"Tell me something I don't know....."
"You do have a heart though."
"What?"
"You came and apologized even though you knew that I was going to try to break all of your bones."
Her eyes widened, "you were?"
"Yes I was..."
I honestly don't know if accepting her apology is the right thing to do but I really don't want to have enemies.
"I may regret this Madison.... but I forgive you."
"You do?" Her eyes looked so hopeful.
"Yes. I do."
She gave me a big hug, "thank you! thank you! thank you!"
"Um you're welcome....."
I couldn't believe I was accepting the apology of my worst enemy, maybe even forgiving her. Will I regret it? I have no idea but there's one thing I do know, I have to tell Jake.
********
I trudged up Jake's porch in the fresh snow. I tried calling him over and over again but he didn't pick up, it's been a week since Madison told me. I'm dying to see him again but I know that he probably doesn't want to talk to me.
Maybe because you hurt him.
I know I did.
I wiped the falling tears, lifting my fist up to knock on the door.
I could hear footsteps and I crossed my fingers, hoping it was Jake.
That wasn't the person I saw.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" I yelled at the boy who I was most angry with at the moment.
A look flashed in his eyes but I didn't know what it was, "Lynny....."
"No! Don't you dare call me Lynny! You self-obessed jerk!" I screamed as I pushed him, he fell back a little.
He ran a hand through his hair and let out a growl, "don't touch me."
"Touch you?" I laughed dryly; my words dripping with hate, "says the one who took my virginity because my dad payed you!"
"I-uh-Lynny......."
I pressed my hands on his chest roughly, "don't ever talk to me again!"
He sighed in frustration, looking up at me with pleading eyes, "I loved you Lynny. You were my everything, I didn't have sex with you because of your dad. I did it because I love you."
I looked into his eyes for any sense of lying but found none.
"You l-love me?"
"With every bit of my heart Lynny."
What about Jake?
My voice of reason has got a point, I love Jake..... but I think some feelings for Ryder are coming back too.
I don't know what to do.....
"Do you love me too Lynny?"
"I-I-I don't know."
"What?"
"I love Jake, Ryder. My first time with you, I didn't feel anything compared to every time Jake touches me. I'm sorry Ryd....."
He blinked at me then sighed, "okay.... I understand. You love him and my chance is over."
"You really understand?"
He nodded, "yes, I do."
I enveloped him in a hug, "thanks for understanding Ryd."
"No problem-"
"Again?!"
Well, shit.
