The Spy

Chapter 40

Alex POV

     "Bonjour bishes!" Benny screamed over facetime. After we landed in France I decided against calling Haven and just messaging him instead. I knew Jacob was gonna be with him and I didn't want to talk to him yet. We have been in France for about 2 weeks now, our classes start tomorrow which is great.

    "Hello Benny." Kenna and I said at the same time with a laugh. Benny smiled at us and turned the screen showing Kendra waving.   

    "Isn't my girlfriend the cutest." Benny said kissing Kendra's cheek. Taking my advice Benny got a back bone and asked Kendra on a date and they started dating 3 days later.  It was the cutest thing ever. I didn't like Kendra at first but now I really like her. She is actually super nice. 

    "Yes Benny. Now it is almost midnight and we have classes tomorrow. So goodnight." I said with a laugh. He laughed with us and nodded. He blew us fake kisses before hanging up. I rolled over to my bed and plopped down. Kenna and I are renting an apartment here until the year is over. 

    Kenna was out within a few minutes of laying on her bed. I wish I was like her, I just couldn't sleep. I tried cuddling Mr. Pissy Pants but it didn't work, it just reminded me of that day. I sighed and got on my wheelchair. I grabbed my phone and rolled out onto the balcony. I went into my contacts. It felt as if my fingers were moving themselves and I had no control over them. I clicked on a name and stuck the phone to my ear. 

      "Hello." His voice rang through on the call. 

     "Alex, Oh my god. I am sorry." Jacob said quickly. I didn't say a word as tears streamed down my face.

     "You don't even have to say anything to me. Just let me talk. I need you to hear this. The day you left I swear I tried getting there in time. I ran over an S hook and got a flat tire so I tried running to the airport. I saw your plane take off and I lost it. I am so sorry little one. I wanted to be there." I nodded even though he couldn't see me. Tears streamed down my face. I couldn't even keep them in any longer.

     "This one year can go by so much quicker. I just want to hug you all the time. I don't ever want to let you go again. Never. I want to see you so bad." He said. 

    "I-I will be back in America for Christmas." I stuttered out.

    "That's too long. You need to be back like in 5 minutes." He said with a chuckle. I chuckled but it came out as a sob.

    "Are you crying little one?" He asked, concern laced in between his words.

     "I-I thought y-you didn't want t-to say goodbye t-to me." I stuttered out. I actually genuinely thought he hated me. Why else would he not want to be there. 

    "Not being able to say goodbye killed me little one. I haven't been out of my room since I got home from the airport. I have lost my appetite. I tried getting a hold of you but the time zones are so different. It was so hard." He said.

    "P-please eat. I-I don't want y-you to starve." I stuttered out. I heard him hum in response.

    "I will little one. I promise you, I will. Can we call more like this please. Your voice is the only thing stopping me from doing something I will, or maybe not regret later." He said, a heavy sigh leaving his lips. 

    "Yes." I said breathlessly. 

     "I know it is late for you little one. You need as much sleep as you can get. Sleep well little one." Jacob said before hanging up. I brought the phone away from my ear and sat it on my lap. I looked out over France as tears still went down my cheeks. I am the only thing keeping him sane right now and little did he know he was the only thing keeping me sane as well.

 Jacob's POV

    I sat my phone down on my bed with a sigh. Her voice was like an angels. I could listen to it all day and all night. I stood up and walked into the bathroom. I never realized how much of a mess I was until I saw myself in the mirror. I rolled my eyes at myself and hopped in the shower. 

    When I got out it was about 6:30 so I should probably get some dinner. I walked out of my room and down the stairs. I could hear talking in the kitchen but I didn't care. As soon as I walked in the talking stopped. Haven, Maxwell, Drew, Allie, and Olive stood at me with wide eyes. I raised an eyebrow and walked over to the fridge.

     When I closed the door I jumped slightly when I saw the face of my best friend looking at me. Haven slowly reached his hand up and put his finger out. I watched as he moved his hand closer to my face. Before he got the chance to touch me I slapped his hand away and glared at him.

    "What the heck." I said. Haven moved back over to the others who were giving me curious looks. 

      "You're not dead." Olive said her mouth opening and closing. I rolled my eyes and pulled an already made turkey sub out of the fridge. I unwrapped it and took a bite. Their eyes widened further.

     "Oh and he is eating. Something must have happened." Allie said. I rolled my eyes and finished the sub quickly. I never realized how hungry I really was. 

     "Alex called me." I said with a shrug. Haven gasped, being is over dramatic self like always. Que the eye roll again.

     "She has called you but not me! You whore you are so lucky!" He yelled at me. I rolled my eyes and turned around then walked out of the room without another word. God these people give me a head ache.
