Chapter Twenty-Two:

Jacob’s Point Of View:

I parked up outside my house and checked on Adie one more time…still fast asleep, I smiled, switching off the engine and opening Adie’s door. A strong cold breeze blew past me and into the car, causing Adie’s eyes to flutter open.

‘Jake…’ Adrienne grumbled…she called me Jake.

‘Yes…’ I answered, smiling.

‘Jakey-poo…Jakey-wakey-cakey-poo’ Adrienne burst into a hysterical fit of giggles, she slid out the car and stumbled over to the front door, stopping at the slope I made for Dad.

‘Adrienne, that’s not a slide’ I hissed, jogging over to her.

‘I know what it is…It’s a skate board ramp!’ Adrienne cheered.

Not really’ I muttered, opening the front door for her to go inside. It was dark in the living room…Dad’s probably asleep.

‘Jacob…I want to go on the bouncy castle’ Adrienne exclaimed.

‘Sssh!’ I hissed softly.

‘Oooh sorry… (hiccup)…Jacob, I want to go on the bouncy castle’ Adrienne whispered.

Where the heck am I going to get a bouncy castle at this time of the night? I ignored Adrienne’s demands for Tinkerbelle to make her, her three wishes that she deserved and she also wanted to meet an Abercrombie & Fitch model and Marilyn Monroe (which I don’t know how is going to happen) I lied Adrienne down on the bed, and allowed her to take off her coat, hat and scarf.

‘Jacob…I’m thirsty’ Adrienne whined, covering herself with the bed sheets.

‘Okay…Orange Juice or Orange Juice’ I suggested sarcastically before getting off my knees and going into the kitchen, quickly pouring a glass of juice and going back into my room.

Adrienne was fast asleep…knocked out, completely. I placed the orange juice on the table that was loaded with car magazines. I perched on the edge of the bed, taking in every bone structure in Adie’s beautiful face, I took off her shoes and tucked her feet under the sheet then I moved her hair out of her face so I could see her face properly…it was like I imprinted all over again.

I stood up and went to my temporary bed on my living room sofa…when I heard light sobbing, I quickly turned around to see Adrienne sitting up with tears streaming down her face, I was at her side in an instant, wiping the tears away with my thumbs.

‘Hey…’ I whispered. ‘What’s the matter?-Bad dream?’

Adrienne shook her head. ‘I’m sorry, Jacob’ what’s she sorry for?-I’m the one who should be sorry.

‘What for?’ I asked, keeping my voice low.

‘For saying what I said to you, I knew it hurt-that’s why I ran’ Adrienne sobbed, more tears coming down.‘You didn’t say anything to hurt me…’ I lied, trying to make her feel better.

Adrienne rolled her eyes theatrically. ‘Oh, give it a rest, Jacob, I maybe drunk but I’m not retarded, I know what I said hurt you…I couldn’t bare to see your face-it hurt too much. I said it out of anger-I didn’t mean it’

I pulled her into a hug, wrapping my arms around her protectively. ‘Can I tell you something?’

Yeah…’ Adrienne whispered.

‘You can never do anything to hurt me, it kinda hurt just a tiny bit though, I know how much you want to fight…it’s going to be in two days time, I don’t want you to fight because I’m selfish’ I admitted, feeling a slight weight being lifted off my shoulders.

Adrienne looked up at me, her eyes still tear filled. ‘Selfish?-You’re not selfish Jacob’

I chuckled; I knew she’d disagree if I admitted it. ‘Yes, I am, Adie, and it’s about time I admitted it to myself’

‘Go on…’ Adrienne prompted reluctantly.

‘I don’t want you to fight, I’m scared I’ll loose you, for some reason I don’t care about all your avatar stuff, I just care about keeping you safe even though it looks like you’re capable of doing it yourself…but I still worry about you, you’re stubborn, so I won’t be able to keep you from fighting very long…but I’ll keep trying because this is a vicious fight-with lives lost, I’d rather loose my life that have you loose yours’ I explained.

I waited for a response, craning my head to look at Adie, her eyes were close…fast asleep, I hope she heard everything before falling asleep. Slowly I laid her down onto the pillow; I went for the door one more time.

‘I love you, Jake’ Adie whispered, her voice dancing through the dark room, into my ears and down, pulling on my heart strings.

‘What?’ I gulped, turning around in disbelieve.

Adrienne smiled. ‘I said: I love you, Jake’ There, she said it again but this time it was for real and not in dream land. The girls of my dreams just confessed how she felt for me and the only thing I could do was grin like a big idiot.
