The next day I was sitting on the island in my kitchen and I heard a knock on the door.
I got up and walked over to the door.

Me: Hey.
Jacob: I'm sorry about yesterday I was ju-

Before he could finish I cut him off.

Me: It's ok, you were just trying to help.
Jacob: Can I talk to you?
Me: Yeah.

I opened the door all the way and let him in, then we walked up to my room.

Me: What do you want to talk about?
Jacob: I just wanted to make sure your okay.
Me: Jacob, I'm fine. Why do you keep asking that question?
Jacob: Because, you don't look fine and I'm worried about you. You keep everything to yourself and you have no emotional support because no one knows what's wrong.
Me: Jacob, I don't talk to people because I'm afraid of what they would think of me.
Jacob: Is that what you think? You think I'm not going to care about you just because you have feelings to.

He looked like he started to get frustrated and I stepped back a little bit.

Me: No Jacob. Why are you getting so mad?
Jacob: Because Mckinsey, you don't want to tell me what's wrong, but you expect me to be there every time you need me. And when I am there you get mad and don't want me there.
Me: Jacob.
Jacob: And if you don't get what you want you take off and go fine Josh, but I can give you what you want because you don't talk to me. We still aren't back together and to be honest I'm starting to feel like you don't want to get back together. The last time we talked about get together you told me you need space and I gave it to you.
Me: I still want to be with you Jacob. I just needed time. And if you haven't noticed lately we have been getting along like we used to.
Jacob: You don't get it Mckinsey. I want you to care, it's about you and how you make me feel. I care about you so much, but you pushing me away and sometimes you need me then other times you don't.
Me: Jacob I do care about you and I do need you. Jacob, I need you more than I need anyone else right now. I'm not trying to push away, but.
Jacob: But what?
Me: Never mind is stupid and you probably won't even care.
Jacob: What's stupid?
Me: Please just leave Jacob.
Jacob: Fine.

He stormed out of my room and slammed the door. I stood there and I tear rolled down my cheek. I honestly didn't know what to do because Jacobs never gotten mad at me like that before.
