Together Forever

Chapter 8

Loneliness can be many different things. Like one of the most popular meanings to it "Lonely in a crowd." Or maybe you've heard of lonely as in you don't have any friends.

Well the loneliness I felt when Tona walked out of the room was the type of loneliness like you just lost a part of you. I'm pretty sure a lot of people have felt that before.

According to a show I watch, if you spend your life lonely you are more likely to have a premature death. 

Now I don't know if that is true or not, but who knows it might be.

"Jacob are you alright?" Mia asked.

"Yeah Jakey you doing okay. It's been 30 minutes since he left." Megan looked concerned.

"I-I don't know what to do..." I say still shocked and upset.

I then actually looked properly at Mia to see she looked upset.

"Mia, what's wrong?" I asked.

"I know how long you waited just for him to accept you, and now all because of s-some bitch. It's like all of that wasn't worth it." Mia said.

"Yeah, but he did it for me, because he didn't want me to get hurt. Well, more hurt than I already am." I said, but I think I'm just trying to convince myself because right now I feel like ending my life.

"Yeah, I suppose if it was for the greater good it's not as bad, but it can't end this way." Mia says.

"It seems like this is our final chapter..." I say sadly.

"No!" Megan objected.

Both Mia and I stared at Megan with disbelief. 

"What do you mean?" I asked shyly.

"Mia's right-" Megan started.

"When am I not." Mia interrupted.

"Shut up. You waited and waited for him. I saw you not give up hope. Even when it looked like you would. You never gave up. For what? For it to end like this?" Megan said.

"Well I don't have much of an option do I?" I say and get up to drive home from school. 

It was already past the time that school ended and the nurse had told me I could stay as long as I liked before I went to sleep so I was planning on staying longer and hanging out with my friends but now I just want to go home.

"Hey Jacob wait." Megan tried to call to me.

I continued to walk towards the exit of the nurse's office.

I walked out the door, but Mia followed me.

"Jacob you can't just give up." Mia said.

"Yeah well what if I'm done trying and I just want it to end?" I replied.

"Jacob, you aren't thinking of..." Mia started.

"Suicide? Yeah maybe I am but what are you gonna do about it?" I objected and tried to storm away.

"Jacob please, you can't do that. Don't do that." Mia said it sounded like she was about to be in tears.

"Why not? I have almost nothing to live for." I say.

"You said almost. That means you have at least something to live for. So live for that." Mia said.

I stopped and thought about what she just said.

I thought about that standing in the middle of the hall thinking for so long I didn't realized that it had been 10 minutes since Mia said that. Which was more than enough time for her to catch up to me.
