The Photographer (A Jake Roche fanfiction)

Chapter 29

~ Madi's P.O.V 3 months after the breakup ~

Well three months have passed since I broke up with Jake. Karlye has set me up on a couple of blind dates, but none of them have worked out. Every time I was with another guy it felt wrong. All I could think about was Jake and how he used to cuddle with me, laugh with me, and make me feel special. He hasn't even attempted to get me back either!
I mean ya I broke up with him... But I just... I wanted him to at least fight for me. Karlye and Charley are probably sick and tired of me moping around. Just then both of them walked in the living room. (I've been living with them ever since that awful night)
"Hey Madi!" Charley greeted me.
"Hey.." I replied.
"Something wrong?" He asked.
"No everything is perfectly ship shape!" I lied.
"Well, okay..." He could tell I was lying too.
"I think I'm gonna go take a nap!" I said. And with that I got up and left the room.

~ Karlye's P.O.V ~

I watched Madi walk into her room then I immediately faced Charley.
"Hey!"
"What?" He asked.
"You gotta talk to Jake about getting Madi back!"
"Why me?"
"Because he's not gonna listen to me! You're like his best friend, aaaand I said so!"
"Okay, what am I suppose to say to him?" He asked.
"Just tell him that Madi hasn't been doing to well and he needs to make some romantic gesture to win her over."
"Alright. I will head over there now I guess."
"Yay! Thank you babe." I smiled and kissed his cheek.
"See you in a bit." He smiled, grabbed his jacket and walked out the door.

~ Jake's P.O.V ~

I sat on my couch watching Say Anything for the thousandth time. Madi's favorite. I heard a knock at the door and slowly answered it.
"Charley? What are you doing here?" I asked, shocked.
"Jake we have to talk." He sounded concerned.
"Um okay? C'mon in."
"Alright I'm just going to come right out and say this..."
"What? You're gay?" I joked.
"No you idiot!" He laughed.
"Then what is it?" I asked, folding my arms across my chest.
"You have to get Madi back."
I scoffed.
"Tell me something I don't know. That's what I wanted to do the moment she walked out my door! I was told by every one to wait and leave her alone!"
"Ya and she is a mess now! Karlye and I can tell she needs you in her life. And you need her too mate." He put one hand on my back.
"I..I don't know. I mean it's been three months, you're sure she hasn't found someone else?"
"I'm positive. She misses you like crazy mate, she's just to afraid to admit it I guess."
"Alright... I have a plan."
I proceeded to tell him exactly how I would get Madi back. The plan was going to take place tomorrow morning. I had to make sure Karlye and Charley were out of the house when I got there, so he was going to make up excuse to leave. I was going to bring her a dozen red and white roses, her favorite. I'm also planning on singing to her again, I picked the song 1,2,3,4 by Plain White T's

I woke up the next morning around 7:00 AM. I wasn't heading over to see Madi for another 2 hours, but I was nervous as hell and couldn't sleep. I made my morning coffee, took and shower, and got dressed. The clock read 7:45. Jeez... This will be long morning.

Before I knew it the hours passed by and I headed over to Madi's place. I texted Charley just to make sure they left and sure enough, they were gone. I quickly drove to the store and bought some roses. I packed up my guitar and left.
I pulled up in the drive way and hopped out of the car. I left the flowers in the car for later. She was probably asleep so I threw a couple of nearby pebbles in her windowsill. I heard the window open and I began to sing.
1-2-1-2-3-4

Give me more loving than I've ever had
Make it all better when I'm feeling sad
Tell me I'm special even when I know I'm not
Make it feel good when it hurts so bad
Barely get mad
I'm so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy

It's as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
There's only
one thing
two do
three words
four you...
I love you
There's only
one way
two say
Those three words
And that's what I'll do...
I love you

Give me more loving from the very start
Piece me back together when I fall apart
Tell me things you never even tell your closest friends
Make it feel good when it hurts so bad
The best that I've had
And I'm so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy

It's as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
There's only
one thing
two do
three words
four you...
I love you
There's only
one way
two say
Those three words
And that's what I'll do...
I love you
I love you

You make it easy
It's as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
There's only
one thing

I love you
There's only

I love you

I love you
I love you...

I looked up at her window and she was gone. That's it... I knew she wouldn't take me back... I walked to my car and put my guitar in its case. Tears started to fall down my face.
Suddenly I was startled by someone hugging me tightly from behind. I turned around to see Madi.
"Madi!" I said full of relief.
"Oh my gosh... Sweetie... I'm so sorry for what I did. It was so incredibly stupid of me! The last three months has been a living hell without you! I love you so much and I came here hoping you would take me back and-" I was interrupted by Madi.
"Jake... Just shut up and kiss me!"
I smiled, cupped her face with my hands and kissed her intensely. I missed her lips so much. I felt like everything was spinning and I was head over heels again. She pulled away.
"I'm so so sorry Jake! I'm really glad you're here now... I love you to the moon and back."
"I love you to the moon and back." I replied.

~ Madi's P.O.V Jake is throwing pebbles into her windowsill ~

I was woken by a clinking noise coming from my window. What is that? I slowly got up and looked out my window. It looked like Jake was standing out there with a guitar. I opened up the window and peered my head out.
"Jake?" I whispered to myself.
He immediately started singing 1,2,3,4 by Plain White T's. I love this song!
Right before he was finished I slipped out the apartment to go hug him. I saw him putting his guitar away and he was crying. I ran as fast as I could and hugged him. It felt so good to touch him again.
He turned around and was shocked.
"Oh my gosh... Sweetie... I'm so sorry for what I did. It was so incredibly stupid of me! The last three months has been a living hell without you! I love you so much and I came here hoping you would take me back and-" I interrupted him.
"Jake... Just shut up and kiss me!"
He beamed, cupped my face with his hands and kissed me intensely. His soft lips felt so nice. I never wanted this moment to end, but I pulled away.
"I'm so so sorry Jake! I'm really glad you're here now... I love you to the moon and back." I put my arms around his waist and hugged him tightly.
"I love you to the moon and back." He replied.
Honestly, this break we had was good for us. It showed both of us what we really wanted and what we couldn't live without. I learned that he is my better half. He makes me whole. I'm never letting him go no matter what.
