(Telana's house at 3:30 am)

*****March 12th, 2014*****

Telana: *wakes up from the same spot she sat in earlier talking to Zac and Stas* For real.. *looks at the time* Damn. *covers her mouth realizing how loud she is looking over at Stas and Zac* *tries not laughing while taking pictures of them laying with eachother* I'm done *laughs and walks outside to laugh louder*

*random car pulls up to Telana's house*

Telana: *stops laughing and sighs* ugh fuck me. *walks out a little further to see who it is*

Jake: *gets out and walks up over to Telana* Hi..

Telana: *steps back* Hey...?

Jake: I'm not gonna hurt you stop backing away. *steps closer*

Telana: I can't trust that. *steps back and pushes Jake away* What do you want?

Jake: Telana stop. *pulls her closer and hugs her tightly* I'm sorry okay? I'm an idiot I know. I did a bunch of shit that I'm not proud of. I know okay I know. I need you...

Telana: *hesitates to hug him back then remembers what she's been through shoving him off* No Jake I'm not taking you back. I'm not going through the pain again. Physical, emotional, mental..none of it. You have to move on. You need someone who can love you the way I never could...we both need it...

Jake: Telana. *looks her directly in the eyes* Nobody will love you the way I can. You don't need anyone else. You need me. Trust me.

Telana: Jake shut up I'm not getting manipulated into your lies again. I don't need you. I don't want you... Just go. Please. *turns to walk back inside and reaches for the door handle*

Jake: Stop! *grabs the door knob first* You're not leaving me out here alone. We need to talk.

Telana: Why? So I can act like things are okay when we're in public or around our friends or family? So I can lie to myself claiming you're the best boyfriend ever? When you're clearly not by the way.. How can I live with the fact that I was not only treated like I was nothing but then got it proven to me that I am when you go out and cheat on me? Hmm? I can't accept an apology from you. Not now, not ever. God already forgave you, isn't that enough for you because it is for me. Listen to me. We can be friends if you want, but we'll never get back together. Never. No matter what the circumstances. If you're the last guy on earth...if I'm about to die and my choices are live with you or die.. I don't know. Never. Okay? Okay. *pulls his hand off the door and opens it stepping inside* Have a good night Jake.

Jake: Telana please.. I'll change. I promise. Just us, like we've always wanted. *drops to his knees* please..

Telana: Good night Jake. *shuts the door and walks away*

Jake: *gets up and walks away with his head down* Jake you lost such a good girl... You idiot. *gets in his car and drives off*

Telana: *looks out the window watching him drive off and sighs remembering everything she went through* ....

(Parrish's house)

Jake: *gets out and slams his door storming inside*

Kalin: *turns down the music* Why so serious bruhhh? *laughs slinging his arm around Jake*

Jake: *throws Kalin off of him* You're drunk. Get off of me. Where's Myles?

Myles: *walks out of his bedroom shirtless stumbling down the stairs* Oh hey buddy! *puts his hand in Jake's shoulder* haven't seen you in a minute. *hugs Jake and lays his head on Jake's shoulder*
