Elevation (Jacob Perez Story)

Chapter 55 | Owning Up

Jacob took a trip over to see Paris and how she was doing after what had happened at the party. Paris's Mom opened up for him as he greeted her then went on up to her room. He knocked on the door but it was already open so he peeped in. Paris was in the middle of studying when she sat up, confused

Paris: "Hey... What are you doing here?" [She said in a gentle light tone]

Jacob: "I mean we ain't talked since the party and I heard about what happened. Just wanted to come check on you. See how you was doing yk"

Paris: [She sighed] "I'm fine"

Jacob: "Fr?"

Paris: "Yes!... Look you don't have to check on me, okay. I'm fine. It's you and what you're gonna do about that crazy ass friend of yours that practically sexually assaulted you"

Jacob: "...I know you mad, Paris. I'm mad but what can I do? If I do sum it ain't gon change her or what she did, not that I care anyway but I mean look... I ain't talking to her again, so there ain't nun else to worry about"

Paris: "Jacob, that nasty ass hoe was soo close to sticking you inside her. She was on you, and you were out on the bed unaware of what was going on! If we didn't burst in, in time like we did she would've got what she wanted"

Jacob: "But you ain't have to worry tho Paris. Look I'm good ain't I? She just lost, that's all. All fucked up. I can't change what happened but move on. I know you care but you don't have to so much"

Paris: "Right! My best friend was getting assaulted and you're worried about me caring?! Seriously? You know what, I guess you don't care"

Jacob: "Cmon, you know I didn't mean it like that Paris"

Paris: "No it's fine. I know exactly what you mean, Jacob. Just like Lucky and now you too! I guess it's normal that girls get away with taking advantage of guys too huh. It's okay and that's why the world it is today. It'll never stop!" [She said passionately frustrated]

They were looking at each other. Paris was trying to her very best not to break into tears but a tear rolled down her face. Jacob leaned over and hugged her. Then she let it all out and began crying

Jacob: "Look I'm sorry aight, Paris. Your right. Your right"

All throughout the week Paris had been hanging with her girls back at the apartment back on campus. She's been purposely avoiding Lucky and Jacob just so she can clear her head and she misses her girls. She's bumped into Jacob and Lucky a few times and that's not to say she's completely ignored their presence. They've had a drive-by talk but it turned out to be a small chitchat. Jacob and Lucky respected her and her space and kept it moving

Paris's POV
I had to have my own space. I just couldn't handle seeing their faces every minute of the day just after what happened like everything is fine. Especially with Samantha still around on campus. The cheek of this- She needs to do herself a favour before things get ugly. I swear if it isn't me who convinces her to leave then someone will

Hanging with my girls was such a vibe. It kind of brought back the feel of old times, spending time with the boys. Of course Maurice's presence irked me but I was mature enough to not create any more tension. I'm so tired of having bad blood with people, especially ones who I was once friends with. It gets draining over time so I did myself a favour and just got over how he did me. Not that I'm going to forget but moving on, is the healthiest option for me right now. It was kind of nice to be here with my gurllsss tho! I love my girls! They're my sisters. They were still stuck in this world of having fun and I didn't want to get used to this again. I was just getting back into my professors good books for law. So since I practically distanced myself from Jacob and Lucky, I'll be going back to hanging with them like it should be really
