Stupid Love

Happily

Jakes family came to visit a few weeks after my accident.

"Oh Jake!" his mother says when she sees me. "She's more beautiful than you described."

I smile. "it's great to finally meet you."

"You still look broken up though. I'm guessing Jake has not been taken care of you well."

Jake coughs jokingly. "she did get hit by a car mother. She's going to be either in a wheelchair or her crutches until her body heals."

"Right, I'm so sorry that happened to you dear. What about school? hasn't it started yet?" she says.

"Yes it has but my doctors said I should take awhile to rest. My mother has already registered me back into my old school." I tell her.

She presses her hands against my cheek. "Great, so you won't be returning to California. It caused my son quite some grief when you left."

"I know but we're together now. Thats all that matters. "

She kisses my forehead before heading into the kitchen with Nikki and I mothers.

"She's very cheerful" Jake says helping me over to the couch.

"I like it. Everyones always so depressed around me. I just wished you guys would just move on and forget that night happened." I tell him.

He places his warm hands beneath my chin and trails his thumb over the outline of it. "I could have lost you forever that night. Atleast if you had left with Sam then atleast i'd know you were okay. Yet you almost died, thats way worse than a break up."

"Im so sorry about Sam. I'm sorry for putting both of you through that."

"Its ok. We broke up because of me, you don't need to apologize for anything."

"So what happens after I graduate? Do I go to a local college and live with you?"

He kisses me quickly. "wherever you want to go Mac, i'll follow."

. I knew now exactly why I had chosen Jake. It wasnt only because I love him, I really liked sam too. It's because he was always there. He would always be there whenever I needed him to be. I wont ever give up Sam. He'll always have place in my heart. We speak almost everyday. He'll tell that even though he's heartbroken, he's a fighter, and he'll be okay. Sometimes I wished I hadn't met him. So that I wouldn't have to think about all the suckish things i'd done to him. He'll be okay, I know that. He's a misfit, like me and my friends, and if theres one thing we're good at, its staying strong no matter what life throws at us.
