Jacobs POV
My whole day has been filled with "Good lucks" And "Lets win this"
I was sick of it.
After the fight with Claire, I couldn't think straight.
Rylee was just a distraction.
I can't love someone who doesn't love me.
So I act like I love Rylee.
When I know damn well I don't.
It was currently the pep-fest and seeing Claire out there doing stunts and tricks, acting like she doesn't have a care in the world, it broke me.
But of course I acted natural.
I participated in the chants and activities.
Once we were dismissed I rushed out of the gym, I needed to clear my mind.
I got into my car and quickly drove to Nolans.
I have no idea how long I stayed there.
But the silence didn't help.
All I could think about was Claire.
"Are you okay?" I hear a voice ask.
I turn around to see Rylee.
"Yeah I'm okay" I insist.
"What's wrong babe?" She asks, sitting across from me.
I cringe a little at the word babe.
"Nothing" I lied.
"Nervous for the game?" She asks.
"Yeah" I lie again.
"Don't be, you'll do great!" Rylee smiles.
I would do better if Claire wasn't on my mind.
"I guess" I mumble.
She pulls out her phone and looks at the time.
"You better get going, it's 5:30" Rylee states.
I mentally curse and put down money.
I say a quick goodbye to Rylee then leave.
As I get into my car I see Claire drive by.
I quickly get into my car and drive to the school.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Claires POV
I get out of my car and grab my stuff from the backseat.
"Claire wait up!"
Jacob.
I don't answer and keep walking.
"Claire! Please talk to me" Jacob says, running in front of me.
"What do you want Anderson?" I ask.
"I'm sorry for yestder-"
"There's nothing to apologize for, okay? You're happy, and I'm happy, so lets just forget it happened" I state, starting to walk away again.
"Well....just so you know, all the stuff I said about you being amazing....is true" He says.
Hear that?
It's my heart.
Shattering.
This boy is going to be the death of me.
