Paralyzed Heart

Devotion

***Ending of the last chapter***

 I closed my eyes as the fire grew and waited for death to come..........

************************************

Jake's POV

My eyes were still closed when I felt Mia breathe again. I jerked my head up and she had come back to consciousness! I looked into her eyes but she looked away. 

"We gotta get out of here!" She said while breathing heavily. 

"There's no way out I checked!" I said 

"Why the hell did you come? I didn't want you to die for me!" She yelled 

"Devotion Mia.......that's why. I'm still in love with you." I confessed and she finally made eye contact. It had been 5 months since our break up and I was craving Mia now! I wanted to be able to touch her again so I took advantage of my role that Mark gave me.......I wanted her back. 

"Well I'm not........" She answered and anger struck me now! Why was I doing this to myself?

What the hell are you doing! This isn't fair on you! She has moved on and it's time you wake up! Become the Jake Anderson you used to be!

The voice in my head was right! I was making a fool out of myself and I deserved more........Jake Anderson deserved more! She wants to be a bitch......I'll treat her like one! 

I got up when Mia picked up a pan and began breaking the window. I grabbed one as well and we managed to break a window. We stood on the ceiling and looked down. We quickly jumped from the first floor and landed on the ground. I winced in pain when I accidently cut myself with a piece of glass that was still stuck with the window. 

"Oh shit! Here let's go to the school nurse." Mia said and held my hand but I pulled it away.

"What the hell is wrong with you? I'm trying to help you!" She yelled.

"I don't need your help.......infact I don't need anything from you! I was such an idiot! I shouldn't have risked my life for you like this.....I should have known that you had moved on!" I yelled back.

"There's a reason why I don't love you! You don't deserve someone like me.......you deserve better." She said and it surprised me.

"But you can't just come into someone's life, make them feel special and then leave!" 

I was about to add something to the conversation but got interruped by people who had gathered around us and asked if we were okay.

I went to the nurse's room and she bandaged my arm. I thought about the shit Mia and I were going through but one thing was clear.........my ego was now the most important thing for me! I had gotten myself on the wrong path and now it was time that I get hold of myself! 

***A month later***

The girls and I were busy having lunch when Mona approached us.

"Hey guys......mind if I sit down?" 

"Sure! Here you can sit here." Rebecca said and picked up her bag from the chair beside her, allowing Mona to sit down. She placed her tray of food and took the empty seat. 

"Thanks." Mona said.

"Anytime....." Rachel replied and smiled. 

"How's Daisy?" I asked.

"She's good......she's really attached to the kitten you got her last week." She said 

"You got her a kitten? That's so cute!" Rachel said and bit into her pie.
