It was sometime after midnight. I picked up my phone and dialed Jake's number. He answered after a few rings.
"Jake, please come over." I whispered, trying to hide the fact that I've been crying. I heard him grab his keys, and he said, "I'm leaving now."
"Thank you so much. I'll see you in a little bit." I said, then hung up.
He drove a bit faster than he should have to get to my house, and when he arrived he walked up to the front door and let himself in.
"(Y/N)?" He called.
I walked down the stairs and saw Jake standing in the doorway. As soon as he saw me he closed the door and said, "(Y/N).."
I know he hates seeing me like this, but right now I needed to talk to him in person more than anything.
I wore baggy sweatpants and a sweatshirt. My hair was in a messy bun and my cheeks were stained from tears. I was a complete mess.
He walked toward me and pulled me in for a hug. "Please don't cry. C'mon, let's go sit down."
He wrapped his arm around my waist and led me to my couch. "Tell me everything that happened."
I sighed, knowing this would make me cry all over again. "I went over to his house to spend some time with him, and when I got there he didn't even let me in. He told me that he doesn't have feelings for me anymore and he's started dating someone else. So I left." I said through sobs.
"He's an ass." said Jake, "I've heard a lot about him doing this to girls..I just didn't want to tell you because you seemed so happy with him."
I looked up at him with nothing but pain in my eyes. "I had my doubts about this relationship..but I was so happy, and then it all came crashing down..I don't understand what I did wrong." I said quietly, trying to fight back more tears.
"You did nothing wrong. You deserve better than him." he said, soothingly.
I sat my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. I felt Jake wipe away stray tears from my cheeks then kiss the side of my head.
"I love you." said Jake, out of nowhere.
"I love you too. You're the best-"
"No, I am in love with you. I have been for a while. Seeing you like this kills me. I don't want this to ever happen to you again."
What he had just said left me speechless. I thought of all of the things he has done for me. The countless phone calls asking for advice, the fact he rushed over to my house when I called him crying.
"I-I'm in love with you too, Jake."
I placed my hand on the back of his neck and kissed him gently.
