Broken Promises

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

“Jake.” I said weakly. I haven’t heard from him in one year and I didn’t want to hear from him. I was scared, what he done to me was wrong, he didn’t just left me, he broke me by doing something that was unexpected, he…

“Meet me at our park tomorrow.” Jake demanded. I gulped and thought about what I should do. Should I go? I don’t want him to do what he did the last time.

“No” I hanged up the phone and a tear ran down my cheek.

I told Abby and Eliza about what Jake said once Abby finished her shopping spree and we were at Abby’s house for movie night.

“What the hell does he want now?!” Eliza said full of anger and her fist tightened. “He hurt you like the last time remember, he told you to meet him at the same place and… You know what happened.”

“We all do, I don’t think you should go, Kate.” I nodded.

“Why not you go and see what he wants, it can’t be that bad.” Eliza suggested. I was keen to find out want he wanted but I’m scared. Eliza might be right, Abby too or maybe I should forget about him.

“Liz, it’s dangerous for Kate to go alone, what if it happens again?” Abby protested. “We all know Jake is dangerous and Kate should stay away from him.” Abby was right, he is dangerous but only the three of us know it.

“Abby, I know you’re scared Kate will get hurt, I mean I’m scared too and he scares the shit out of me.” Eliza admitted. “I’m worried about Kate and I just want her to forget about… that day and move on with her life, the only way she’s supposed to do that is find out what he wants and why he did it.” I was touched that Eliza cared so much for how I felt, all this time I thought people didn’t understand me, I was wrong.

“Guys, I don’t think I should go, if he wants to tell me, he should find me.” I was proud of the decision I’ve made because I know that he was back here and I know that he’s gonna be at our school.

I met Cody at a diner and I wanted to get my mind off of all the drama that’s been happening lately. Tomorrow was a school day and I know Jake will be there and I wasn’t ready. Maybe I should tell Cody about what really happened I mean he knows that I was saddened over Jake’s move but that wasn’t it. It was make up lie.

I texted him ‘I hate you’ and there was no response. Did I really hate him or was it because of what he did that made me hate him. I just feel the anger inside of me. I can’t take it. He’s stupid, absurd and he wasn’t like the normal Jake I used to know. Where was the fun, loving, caring brother I used to know? He became a… monster.

“Kate!” Cody called as I was staring at nothing. “Katelyn”

“Huh?” I asked. I was really blurred because of the stupid flashbacks. We were sitting in the diner and our food had arrived. I felt sorry for Cody because I wasn’t paying attention to half of what he said. “Sorry” I apologised.

“It’s okay; you’ve been daydreaming a lot though.” He told as I took a bite out of my burger.

“I urm, have a lot of things in my mind.”
