Sara's POV:
In the middle of the night I realised that there was someone else with me in the bed. I shot up. I wasn't expecting someone to be there, and it started to remind me of what happened on Thursday. I started to tremble and looked to find Jake asleep next to me like old times. I couldn't stand being near anyone at the moment, especially Jake. It's my relationship and he threatens to hurt Reece after some stupid misunderstanding. So what if something did happen? Does that really matter? Jake started the argument and now the whole house knows, except Stevi, and someone has probably already updated him on that.
Reality sunk in and I slapped Jake. Why did I do that? He ruined a perfectly good relationship between him and me, and has probably jeopardised mine and Reece's aswell.
He woke up, cupping his cheek where I slapped him. 'What the hell is wrong with you?' he snapped. I already had tears in my ears and managed to croak 'Get out. I don't want you near me'.
'Sara, I already told you. I'm sorry. I don't know why but the thought of you and Reece together hit a nerve for me. Not because I'm jealous, but because the thought of my best friend and my band mate doing things is weird'. 'But Jake, you jumped to conclusions too soon. I was raped; deal with it, because I am trying to and if everyone stops talking about it then maybe I can pretend it never happened.' 'But Sara it did happen. And I'm sorry for not being there. I should have been there with you'
'Jake just leave me alone, I need time to breathe. I can barely let my own boyfriend touch my hair never mind the guy that has made everything ten times worse. Yes I know I shouldn't have said that, but I just need space, and all you guys are doing are smothering me'. 'I'm sorry; I'll leave then if that's what you want. Goodnight'. 'Night'.
What kind of relationship is this? One minute we're best friends, next we're family, next we're supposedly a couple and now we hate each other. Some Relationship there I see! I checked the time on my phone: 3:07. Lauren was in her bed, and hadn't woken up from Jake's and my conversation.
As I closed my eyes, I felt the light from the hallway sweep into the room. I moaned and looked up to see Reece. 'Babe are you okay?' I asked quietly. 'Yeah, but the real question is, are you?' 'I'll survive I guess'. He sat on the bottom of my bed. He was dealing with this so well, he knew I needed my personal space, but the fact that he was giving me my personal space made me want to make everything back to normal. He rubbed my duvet where my leg was and smiled. He got up and started making his way to the door.
'Reece?' 'yeah?' 'will you sleep with me?' 'Are you sure that's a good idea?' 'I need to get over it, and I just need my boyfriend to give me a hug' I gave a childish pout even though there was little light, he probably couldn't see.
He climbed into my bed, and brushed my hair with his fingers. He gave me enough personal space but gave me enough comfort by wrapping his arm protectively around my waist, but didn't pull me into him; he just laid his hand there. I drifted off into a warm and comfortable sleep, but obviously still with the hiccups.
