I had forgotten the feeling of fresh air hitting my face! Jake had bought me a different helmet, a new one and this one smelled like fresh flowers and soap!

"Are you ok back there?" asked Jake as we stopped on a red light, "Yeah I'm ok" I replied and felt the cold winds penetrate my clothes, sending shivers up my back. "You sure you're ok?" asked Jake again and chuckled before we started driving again.

"I'm just getting a little cold!" I yelled as I tried to penetrate the cold winds that blew across our helmets.

"Ok, wait" said Jake and pulled into a small parking space by an apartment complex. He jumped of the bike and asked for me to do so too, "Here" said Jake and struggled to get his arms out of his jacket.

"Oh, ok" I uttered without thinking clearly?

"What?" he asked as he got ready to get back on his bike, "Oh, nothing" I simply replied and jumped on the bike behind him and threw my arms around Jake's waist again, tightening my grip around him as we started speeding away.

"Where do you want to go?" asked Jake and passed a few cars on the road, slowly getting closer and closer to the small town we lived nearby. "Maybe we could watch a movie or something?" I asked and yet again tried to penetrate the loud howling of the wind.

"Yeah, that sounds great!" replied Jake and swung up the street towards the cinema, "What kind of movie do you have in mind?" asked Jake and almost seemed nervous as he pulled in on the cinema parking-lot?

"Oh, I don't know?" I replied and checked the movie posters which perfectly hung in a display by the parking lot. "Have you seen the new fifty shades movie?" asked Jake and grabbed his wallet and marched towards the entrance.

"No, no I haven't" I said and felt my stomach turn from the lie I let slip from my mouth. "Ok then, fifty shades it is!" replied Jake with a smile as he payed for both of our tickets and snacks for the two of us!

"You ready?" he asked as I stood by the soda fountain and filled both our cups with a suicide soda mix, something Jake had talked about before. "Yeah, I'm coming" I replied with a smile as I attached the lid to our cups and took some straws for us.

I jogged to get our seats, but I quickly realized we had much more time to talk before the movie started, much more time than what I had when I was here with Justin.

"So, how's everything going?" asked Jake as he took a sip from the mix of soda's I made for him, "Everything is great!" I replied and nervously started playing with my fingers as we continued to talk. "Can you tell me what happened that night?" he asked as he grabbed the hand I was playing with and rubbed his thumb on top of my hand.

"I don't want to talk about it" I replied and started jamming my fingernails in the skin of my thumb, "Ok" replied Jake and didn't dig any deeper into what happened.

I tried not to be quiet, so we wouldn't get the awkward silence between us, but it wasn't easy when I all of the sudden felt my phone go off every second or so with one notification after another.

"Hey, the movie's starting" said Jake and nudged me as I was just about to reach for my back pocket to see what all the buzzing was about?

It was Mitch, he had sent me over 15 text messages; "Isaac, Isaac! Isaac!!" said the messages. I changed my screen light and proceeded to send a text back asking; "What is it?"

I looked at the movie for a second or two? but It didn't take long for Mitch to text back; "Justin is looking for you"
