Chapter 16

Jake POV

Crap. That's what I felt like crap. It has been exactly 6 weeks, 3 days, 4 hours, and 55 minutes since Rosa has caught me kissing Kelsey, and I had felt nothing but sickly and disgusting. I couldn't help but feel an aching in my heart every single time I watched walk down the hallways with Christy or with a new friend she made because it made me miss all the things about her. She looked happier now, and I am happy for her however I am going to tell her how I feel, and that I love her she has to know. I won't end my senior year on this note I refuse to and I still had a few months left. 

"JAKEEEYYYY!" Internally groaning I rubbed my temples quickly before turning to Kelsey and putting on one of the most fake smiles I have ever done in my life.  I knew that me responding this way isn't helping Rosa know how I really feel but I have to give her time to heal again and let her come about the truth by herself about how she felt about me as I feel about her. She was hurting right now and if I tried to get her back now it would only send her mixed messages. I wanted Rosa to love me without me forcing her with flowers and petty paper cut hearts. I would wait for her, for as long as I need to, I just hope she can find it in her heart to forgive me.

Rosa POV

6 weeks, 3 days, 4 hours, and 55 minutes since I saw Jake kiss Kelsey. The image still burning brightly in my mind like flashing arrow in a dark black night. I felt my heart crumple a little bit every time I remembered that moment. I tried to forget about him but every time I saw him with Kelsey or laughing with his friends just made me hurt even more. I couldn't live like this I knew that me pining on him from afar wasn't good but I couldn't help myself! 

Although, even through all the pain and hurt I've experience, Christy and I have gotten even closer in the last fews and I haven't felt any more grateful for a friend. She introduced me to her friends, ate lunch with me, came over to me house and took me on shopping trips. I have actually made a few friends after Christy introduced me to her cheerleading team and I couldn't describe the amount of appreciation I feel for her. 

"ROSAA HELLOOO? LETTS GOOO PLEASEEEEE!" I heard Christy yelling in my ear, with Rochelle tapping on my shoulder. 

"Okay, okay sheesh can't a girl just zone out?" 

We linked arms and walked down the corridor towards our class. Looking for my textbook I realized I left it in my locker! 

"Guys! I got to go back sorry! Go on without me!"

Turning back I ran towards my locker to grab my textbook, after reaching in and grabbing it I checked my clock making sure I wouldn't be late, and started making my way back towards the classroom. Before I could even register what was happening I felt myself colliding with a thick hard wall and then the cold solid tile ground. 

"OOMPH!" I yelled as I crashed onto the ground. 

"Oh jeez! I am SO sorry! Are you okay?" I heard a masculine voice reply. I couldn't help but feel my heart beat faster at the sound of his voice. It sounded so rich and soft like a blanket that you wanted to wrap around yourself.
