Toxic love

Jacob and Shannon

Narrator: The house was quiet and Jacob was asleep. I had only just woken up because I had trouble sleeping. Even in my dreams I could see Jenna and that was not making it any easier to forget the events of what happened tonight.

I called out to Jacob, "Jay you up bro?". But he didn't respond. He was already knocked out. I could understand why though. While I was busy trying my hardest to get with Jenna just on was drinking. Though he watched over me incase I got in any problems he was still drunk from the party.

I thought to myself, "it must be real nice to get over someone that has hurt you." But it for me it wasn't that easy.

What do I mean by that? Well believe it or not but Jacob himself has been heartbroken. The only difference is he managed to get over it. I've been single for almost a year, 8 months to be exact and although the first few months it may have seemed that I was over Jenna, I never really was.

I want to talk about Jacob's ex girlfriend more. Maybe you would understand why Jacob got over her, because I sure as hell don't.

*Grabs bottle of Henny and takes a sip*

Now as everyone can see Jacob is my best friend and he seems to be the person I go to for advice when I really need it. Well what if I told you Jay was in my shoes before. He know exactly how I feel.

Jacob was dating this girl, Shannon. But we'll call her Shann for short. And he was really feeling it for her. So many times we all hanged out and had fun times together. To what we both saw Shann was wifey material for him. I would even go out my way to say that I was jealous some times. I know I was supposed to be happy for him but I was so lonely.

Anyway, one day Jacob was at the library doing his homework when...

*Flashback*

Jacob's POV

Hello good afternoon, I'm here to do some research on how our town came to be. I was just wondering if I could  use a computer.

"Hello and why sure. Let's see computer research will be 0.50 cents an hour and 0.25 for anything you may need to copy. There's a computer way at the back of the library that works especially good with research."

Oh thank you Ms, oh and also has a young lady been here. Around 5'5 light brown eyes and hair cut low? She's supposed to be helping me with my assignment.

"Uhh let me think. No no there wasn't no young lady like that, that I can remember. I'm sorry."

Oh it's alright she may be running a little late. Thanks for your help.

"You're welcome"

*Walks to the back of the library. Takes out notebooks and turns on CPU to start assignment*

*15 minutes passed*

Hmm I hope she doesn't forget we were supposed to start this assignment. It's almost 4:30 where can she be? No need to get worried up, I'll just do what I can.

*35 minutes passed*
*Jacob's phone rings*

Hey where are you? I've already started the assignment and the library soon closes. I could hear heavy breathing before she could answer.

Hey are you alright? What's going on? Babe?

"Uhh sorry babe.. I was just running."

From what?

"Don't forget I have cheerleading practice on Thursdays. Coach thought it would be a good idea if we take a few laps before getting started."

Oh yeah I completely forgot babe. It's alright then. I'll finish off what I can for now and we could probably do the rest by me later on.
