i never managed to fall asleep. i couldn't stop thinking about jake, the jealousy in his voice when he knocked on my door last night. but the way he's been treating me... he deserves to be ignored for a little bit. right?

i pry out of chance's arms and walk to my bathroom to change.

i decide on wearing this:

chance is still sleeping on my bed, so i replace myself with a pillow and he snuggles up to it right away.

i smile at myself at his reaction and head downstairs.

-

downstairs, there's jake, ivan, kade, and erika.

"morning guys." i sleepily say.

"it is 1 in the afternoon!" ivan says, chuckling.

"oh oops." i laugh. "i'm a late sleeper."

"hey dawn can we talk really fast?" jake asks, looking down at his hands.

"I guess, but-" i start.

"babe why'd you leave me you were so warm in my arms." chance pouts, walking into the kitchen.

"forget it." jake sighs and heads towards his room.

"ja-" i say to him.

"i said forget it dawn! just leave me alone!" he yells.

there's a silence in the kitchen, thoughts running through everybody's heads on what just happened.

"you know he's been talking about you this whole morning." kade speaks up.

"what was he saying?" i ask, looking down at my drink.

"he was talking about how much he misses you and that he was stupid for what he did. now i don't know what he did, but if i were you, i'd go talk to him." kade answers.

"but he said to leave him alone." i argue.

"yeah, but when jake says leave me alone, he usually means come and talk to me." erika responds with.

"i guess i'll give it a shot. but if i end up like alissa, just know that i still love you guys." i respond.

they chuckle in the background as i head upstairs.

i reach his door, and before i go to twist the door knob, i hear him yelling to himself.

"god jake! you're so stupid! she obviously doesn't want to talk to you. she's happy with chance." he sighs. "she's never going to forgive me. i might as well just die or something." jake yells at himself.

and then i open the door and see him start punching the wall. he doesn't even notice me.

he's going to put a hole in the wall. so i jump in and try to stop his hands.

bad choice.

he continues punching and then punches me in the face.

i fall to the ground, feeling warm blood trail down my face.

"dawn! dawn! oh my god. i didn't even see you! someone call the ambulance!! dawn look at me. da-"

and then everything goes black.
