Four Guys But One Me

Problems

Chapter 26: Problems

"Mack baby wake up"

I opened my eyes, blinked a couple of times to adjust to the light. I sat up and Jake was sitting in front of me

"Time for class" I looked at the clock, it was 7:00 "I got you coffee" he handed it to me

"Thank you" I took a sip

"Did you sleep well?"

"Better" I fell asleep around 8 last night. I was beat with all that happened

"That's good" he kissed my forehead "You better get ready"

I nodded and got up and set my coffee on my desk. I went into the bathroom, took a quick shower, and brushed my teeth. I walked out to see Jake wasn't in the room anymore. I grabbed my white distressed skinny jeans and a white tank top that says 'Couch Potato' I grabbed my phone, bag, and coffee and went out the door

"Nice shirt" he said taking my hand, swinging it back and forth as we walked down the hall

"This is what I feel like today. I'm so tired" I down the rest of my coffee and threw it away

"From what? Sloan told me, you slept really early last night"

"Yeah. I got to bed early" we walked into the elevator, good thing no one else was with us

"So that Connor guy seems cool. What do you think about him?"

I shrugged "He's okay"

"He's your ex boyfriend isn't he?" I looked at him in awe "You said his name when we were in your room in Florida that day we went to the beach, you said it right before you fell asleep"

"I-I didn't know"

I said his name? Why?

"It's okay. You were tired that's why"

"Me and Connor are done with. I ended it before I left home"

"Wait" He stopped for a moment and faced me. Anger filled his face "He's the guy that left you there?" Oh my gosh "He's the one that left you in that hell hole captive, while you were getting raped?"

"Jake calm down"

"How can I calm down, knowing the guy that ignored my girlfriend and needed him, is on this campus?"

"Jake please. I let it go so should you" the elevator doors opened and he walked out, infuriated

What did I just do?

"Jake" I yelled

I went after him, hoping Connor doesn't pop up anytime soon

"Jacob Richards. Stop right now" I said in a firm tone.

He stopped walking. I saw his fist clench and his posture was straighter. I walked up to him

"You are not going to do anything to him"

"Why not?" he asked not even looking at me "He hurt you"

"That was in the past. 4 months ago even" I grabbed a hold of his cheeks and made him look at me "He hurt me sure but that was before. I'm not the same girl anymore" his face softened "It's not worth it" 

"Okay" he grabbed my wrists "I won't do anything"

I smiled "Good" I pulled out my phone "We have 15 minutes til class starts"

He entwined our hands and we started walking to our class

"How did your interview go?" I asked

"It was good. I got the job"
