"I am alright jake" .
I said as i wriggled in his tight hold to get out of it. I was really shocked to see him,there would be no one who really cared about me suddenly disappearing apart from ven. I heard shuffling behind me, i freed my self from jakes hold to see what the sound was, but to no avail because my height being 5"4 dint help as my view was blocked by a giant of 6"4 with his broad shoulders blocking every way possible to see behind him. I walked past him only to hit my back on the wooden floor while ven was on me.

She sat up straight strangling my waist with her legs, looking me right into the eye she said, "you bitch! What do you think you were doing, why dint you come to school, oh! Forget about that why was you'r fucking phone switched off!". I looked at jake pleading him with my eyes for him to help, he just shrugged mouthing you deserve it, i huffed in annoyance as i focused back on my best friend who was still rambling like a manic. A small smile creeped on my face, as i saw how scared she was for me. I feel terrible for not being able to tell her anything. "why you smiling?,"she asked completely pissed off.

"huh nothing just checking is there any pause button on you." i asked still smiling. I could here jake laughing behind me.

She just got up, her face showed no emotions, she started walking towards the door it took sometime for me to register what she was doing, i quickly got up, i ran towards her hugging her from behind, she tried wriggling out of my grip but i couldn't leave her she is my best friend for god's sake.

"how long will you do this beth?, how long, will you take me for granted, when will you stop disappearing like this." she said her tone laced with anger. She was still facing the door. I knew what she meant i don't deserve a friend like her. But i am very selfish, i dont have any other friend. She's the only one i have, i can't leave her and i cant tell her i know she will surely be scared and find a better friend then me.

"i can only say one thing ven, i am sorry. I wasn'nt well so couldn't do anything. I asked lee not to tell you i thought you would get tensed."

She turned immediately, know jacob was right beside me.

"You were not well? , lets go to the doctor. He said concern laced in his voice.

" hey! No, i m alright know. I never felt this well before. "i said slowly moving far from him.
He covered the distance with just a single step making me completely shocked.

" what did he say, beth " he asked.

" who said what?, who are you talking about? ".

" doctor"

"doctor?"

" you said you were not well, so you might have gone to the doctor right?" he asked raising his brow. Ven was standing crossing her arms over her chest looking at me skeptically.

"oh, doctor! Right right i went near him, he was a very funny man." i said laughing loudly, at the end,trying to change the topic.

"can you get to the point, what did he say?." ven asked know

"he said its just some wether change problem, it's not that serious, chill" i was getting tensed with all this questioning. It made me feel i am in the prison getting investigated by the police. Omg anyone help me from these morons.

"enough kids cut her some slack". A low sweet familiar voice said, i turned towards the voice, i saw tessa walking towards me her wrinkled face was graced with her beautiful smile. She came closer to us, taking the glasses placed over her head , and placed it on the bridge of her nose, looking at jake and ven.

"tessa this is jacob my friend." i said pointing towards jake i could see a smile forming on his face when i introduced him as my friend.

"and tes you know ven right" i said, ven walked towards tes and gave her a hug.

"its been so long seeing you sweety, how are you" tess said, smiling at her lovingly.

" i know, i missed you to, i am fine."ven said still hugging.

" excuse me, i said frowning. " placing my hands on my hips." I too need a hug" jake came forward opening his arms front of me. " i can give you one" he said. I felt a ting of excitement bubbling in me, oh shit! What is wrong with me, what am i thinking, he's just a friend asking for a hug. I can surely give it. I definitely cant embarrass him in front of tess and ven, i should give him i am not wrong right. I walked closer to home wrapping my arms around his body, i could smell his cologne it was soo calming. I felt protected, safe, calm. He hold me tight as if i would dissappear if he would let go. I wanted to be there forever. In his arms. I was busy thinking when i felt a slight tap on my arm, ven looked at us, grinning widely she said " i think you guys can let go!".

Jake and i immediately pulled away, my cheeks were feeling so hot, i was so embarrassed, i could see jake scratching the nape of his neck nervously through my peripheral visions , it was so akward.

"so jake you and beth study in the same school." tess spoke finally cutting the akward silence.

" yeah i am from the same school, i recently shifited from London due to my dad's business"

"Ooo ok".

"who is up for a hot cup of coffee, with some freshly baked choco chip cookies." tess said raising her brows.

Me and ven lifted our hands in the air with a wide grin on our faces. Like the two year olds do when asked who wants a candy. Jake had a amused look on his face. I raised my brows looking at him, he just shrugged smiling even more. I and jake started walking direction where tess and ven were heading.
