Chapter 41

"Jake?" I said shocked.

I was just talking to him on the phone awhile ago. How is he already here?

He took one look at me and then glared at Tony, making him stand up.

He stalked to Tony and grabbed his collar.

"Jake!" I said standing up as well.

What Jake did next surprised me and made me scream.

He punched Tony making him stumble backwards and fall to the ground at my feet, his lip bleeding.

"Oh my God!"

"What the hell are you playing, Anthony?" Jake growled as Tony stood up wiping his lip.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb with me. I want you to stay away from Nina." Jake said pointedly.

My jaw dropped.

"I can't do that. I won't." Tony said sternly.

Jake lunged at him again, but this time Tony dodged him. So, instead Jake punched his side.

Tony doubled over clutching his side. I think he hit Tony on the part where we was bruised.

"Jake! Stop it!"

"Stay. Away." Jake growled at Tony completely ignoring me.

Tony looked up at him and glared. I could see pain in his face. "I said, I won't." He said standing up.

Jake was about to lunge again but I ran to him and stopped him. Kaleb, Matt, Carmen, and even Jace came running out to see what was happening.

"Jake, stop it! What is wrong with you?!" I yelled.

"Why the hell are you defending him? Look at you! You're a mess! You almost died because of him!"

"I wouldn't let that happen." Tony said, his voice strained from Jake's punch. "She's...important to me."

I looked at Tony and back at Jake who looked furious.

"There is something going on between you two." he said glaring at Tony, then me.

"Nothing's going on. We just... talked things over." I tried reasoning.

"You talked things over?" He said then scoffed and looked at Tony. "So, what? You have a crush on my girlfriend now and you're planning to take her like Carrie? Is that your plan?"

"Things change, Jake. I'm not the same person anymore." Tony said sternly.

"What, you're putting on this fake good guy façade for Nina?" Jake accused.

"Jake, enough." I said.

"Why do you keep taking his side?" He said accusing me this time.

"Because you're being unreasonable right now!"

"I'm being unreasonable?! You're the one taking the side of the guy who put you in danger!"

"It was an accident! I'm fed up with your attitude. What's your problem?"

He scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Yeah? Well, I'm fed up with yours too! Why are you being such a bitch right now?"

My jaw dropped. I was shocked at what he just said. Oh, I'm being a bitch?! Who's the one throwing punches around, accusing people of everything he could think of.

"You are such an ass!" I shot back scowling at him.

"Well, at least I'm not a liar!"

"I'm not lying about anything!" I yelled.
