-Adi’s P.O.V-
I was freezing, the temperature had dropped as the night drew in and I didn’t know what to do other than keep walking. My legs ached and my body was numb, my face was still covered in blood and people were giving me worried looks as they passed me.
Yet nobody asked if I was ok.
Probably too scared of the girl with the blood on her face, wandering the streets of LA alone in the dark, wondering how she got to such a low point in her life.
I passed the same Starbucks for the sixth time and tried to decide where I was supposed to go when I heard a voice.
“Adi?!”
Luke?
“ADI!”
I turned to see someone I didn’t expect.
“Jake?! Is that you?” I yelled at the boy running down he street toward me.
He ran so close and collided with me, holding me in an embrace,
“Holy crap I didn’t think I’d ever find you” he breathed. I didn’t say anything. “You’re so cold!”
He moved back from me and looked at my face,
“And you’re still covered in blood”
I pulled away, I didn’t want to talk to anybody.
“Adi come on, we spent hours looking for you, you can’t just leave now”
I was so tired of people telling me what to do. And that was when I lost it.
“I can’t do this anymore!” I screamed.
Jake silenced, taken aback by my sudden outburst. I let the tears fall freely.
“I spent the last few hours walking around the streets thinking about how I could ever be so stupid. So blinded by my ego. So taken in by what I thought I should be that I didn’t even notice the things that mattered. I didn’t appreciate what I already had, I just focused on what I didn’t have.”
“Don’t talk like that. None of what happened today was your fault”
“But it was. He told me to stay away from her, he told me she would hurt me and look what happened.”
I knew what I had done the second I had done it. But in that moment, I didn’t care.
“Wait, what” Jake frowned, angry
“Nothing, I just want to be left alone”
“Hang on, he knew she was going to hurt you?!” Jake was yelling.
“It wasn’t like that!”
“Then explain to me Adi. Explain why you’re so taken in by love for him when all he ever does is treat you like shit. You can’t even see that there’s somebody right in front of you who loves and cares about you. Someone who’s in love with you. Don’t you see that?”
I stood and stared at Jake for a second.
He was in love with me.
WHAT
Take, like, 7,000 steps back.
I opened my mouth to speak but before I knew it Jake had attacked my lips with his. I didn’t know what to do.
Did I want to kiss Jake?
Did I like Jake like that at all?
*****************
A/N - Jake needs to back away and not do that because UNEXPECTED.
The grammar in that sentence was beautiful might i say.
OK it was kind of predictable BUT what do you guys think? Let me know!
(probably going to upload 1 or 2 more chapters today because i've missed a few and this one was short)
peace
