What's Hot

[PG] Parental Guidance Suggested

Part 5 of 47

I was bounding down the stairs when I crashed into Jacob. He wore an expression of pain but when I took another look at him he was smirking.

Trick of the light, I suppose.

"Sorry." I mumbled, moving aside.

His smirk just got wider, it felt as though he was quietly taunting me. "How are you?" I asked softly, searching his eyes for any emotion. They looked empty, just blue.

"Oh I'm great Jacqueline, how are you?" he asked in a mocking tone.

"I'm fine." I answered, slightly taken back.

"Uhuh, now I have to go. Have to get ready." He pushed past me, moving upstairs.

"Where are you going?" I blurted out.

He smirked at me again as he spoke: "I have a date....with my girlfriend."

Date? Girlfriend? "You have a girlfriend?" I whispered.

He nodded. "Yeah, I didn't get to see her this summer because she was abroad. She came a couple of hours ago. Well, gotta go." He left, not even sparing me a glance.

--------------------

Jacqueline made her way down, feeling completely lost. She walked up to the front-door, pulling it open. "I need a walk..." she was muttering to herself when she slammed in to someone.

She looked up and saw....

Monique and Brett!

--------------------

"Guys!" I yelled, throwing myself on them.

"So now you remember us?" asked Brett playfully while Monique and I hugged.

I looked up at him, my eyes glistening with unshed tears. "hey...are you alright?" he asked, pulling me to him.

"Yeah..." my voice trailed off as I rubbed my eyes. "Just tired."

He looked at me with a piercing stare while Monique spoke up. "Liar."

"What happened?!" she asked, dragging me inside.

"Nothing.....how come you guys are here?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Dave called us and don't try to change the subject." Monique scolded me.

"Come on Jay-line." pleaded Brett. "We're best friends right? You can tell us anything." His eyes bore in mine, confirming that he was being fully sincere.

"Come on..." I dragged them outside for a walk.

And I spilled.

I voiced everything that had happened and everything going on in my head. How I liked both Jacob and Dave, how I had to marry Dave. How it hurt when Jacob confirmed that he had been playing with me. How I still liked him.......even loved him maybe.

"Who do you like most?" questioned Monique, unmoved by the drama.

"I don't know." I admitted. "Dave...Jacob...Dave! It's damn confusing!"

"Hey, it'll be alright, everything will be fine." cooed Brett, wrapping me in a bear hug along with Monique.

None of us had noticed the shadow that was looming about, neither had we noticed when the person followed us, absorbing in every word we threw.

Those eyes that burned in the dark, emitting a light of their own. He stood there watching me.......thinking.
