I could already see flashes of my future. Me and Jacob, sitting by a lake, holding each other's hands. The sun would be setting, creating the most romantic scene ever.
Another flash of my future.
Me and Stella, running through a field happily. We would be celebrating because Jacob would have just proposed to me. We would be best friends forever.
I had just asked Jacob the question. I was still waiting for him to answer.
"So?" I asked. He was still holding my waist, and I still had my grip around his neck.
"I... Uh...," he began.
"This can't be good," I muttered as silently as possible. The song that was playing had just ended. He let go of my waist. I let go of his neck.
"I..." He scratched the back of his neck.
"Jake, are you okay?" I asked worriedly.
"Yeah, um, I'm fine. Just a little thirsty. I'll catch you later." He walked away.
What just happened? Did I say something wrong? All these questions kept popping up in my head. I didn't get what had just happened.
I thought about the flashes of the future I saw just before. I thought about the scene with the lake. It could've been like that. I could've been happy with Jacob. Or so I thought.
