On his way home, Jake stopped by the veterinary to see if the little kitten was alright and to buy some food and other necessary things for it before finally arriving in front of his house.On the outside, he looked quite normal. He had a soft smile on his lips while looking down at the little Moonlight in his arms. He was holding the bag with the cat stuff and talking to the black kitten now and then in a gentle tone. What's more, Jake was truly very handsome. The picture of a handsome guy holding an adorable little kitten... needless to say, there were quite a few people who turned their heads to look at him while he was walking down the road.However, subconsciously, Jake had started to scratch his wrists. He hadn't even noticed that he was doing it. Even the thoughts in his head were like faint ghosts who appeared to only whisper a few things in his ears before disappearing like their main goal was to slowly stir him up without him noticing.The entire way back home, Jake was focus

The doctor said that Jake fainted due to the stimulation, the shock of seeing blood as well as the fact that his body was weak at hell due to the lack of food and sleep and it couldn't handle all that vomiting. His body basically just shut down, not wanting to deal with this shit anymore.After that, since he's a grown-ass man, the doctor scolded him for half an hour to take care of his body. Sitting on the side, Mathew just listened to the doctor scolding him more than he has scolded Jake in his life and thought that maybe he should be a stricter father. It was time to go back to those days when he had to force baby Jake to eat or he would starve.After the doctor was done, Jake could finally let a sigh out and weakly turned to his father. "Can we leave now?"Mathew looked at him without saying anything at first as if he was deep in thoughts. After a full minute of staring at Jake's face which was gradually getting more and more confused, Mathew finally decided to talk. "You have to p

Jake felt as if he had been hit by a brick and a sudden wave of suffocating feelings drowned him. He thought he better not get too attached because he knew one day this would happen, but he never thought that it was already too late for it. He felt so hopeless, drowning... his heart felt heavy... remembering the way Aiden and his friends had seen him yesterday, the look in their eyes, the disgust in their faces, and imagining Ryder seeing him like that... Jake felt like crying. His hand subconsciously went to his wrist and scratched the bandage over it. He was choking in tears that didn't dare to come out. "How..." Jake forced out a word before his voice broke and he couldn't say the next one. He was scared to ask. Did she hate him? Did she feel disgusted by him? Seeing him not saying anything, Ryder was having second thoughts. "I recognized you by your voice." Her voice softened and guilt filled her eyes. Damn it. Where is this guilt coming from? "I..." Jake didn't know what to s

Jake grinned and picked up his things and sat at the same table as Nina. He placed the laptop on the table, sat opposite her, and without looking away from the laptop's screen he asked her. "Are you looking for Jeremy?"Nina hadn't noticed at all when this dude showed up, even less when he sat down opposite her. Hearing his question she was taken by surprise and let out a scream."Where did you come from?"Jake pointed at the table he was previously sitting in, his eyes still glued to the screen. "From there."Nina almost choked from anger. "Who are you?"Jake looked at Nina for a second before continuing typing on his laptop. "Leah's favorite person." He replied with a smirk on his face.I must make things clear here. This girl can't take my position from Leah's heart.Hearing Leah's name, Nina calmed down immediately and leaned closer to Jake. "You know Jeremy?" Her eyes were sparkling as if she had found a valuable thing to squeeze information from."Mhmm." Jake hummed.Seems like

Saying that, after those four words appeared in his head Jake fell in a daze, it would be an understatement. He was so lost that by the time he snapped out of it, he was already in his room, with a paintbrush in his hand and a half-finished painting right in front of him.This isn't scientific at all, alright!!!He couldn't quite remember how he left Ryder's house or how he came back home, even less how the fuck did he end up painting Ryder. What's this melodramatic setting? This has never happened to him before? Is he so fucked up in the head?It was already early in the morning, the sun was out and the room didn't need the lights to be on anymore.Just for how long did his brain shut down?This is simply bullshit!What the fuck?!!!!Once he wasn't in a daze anymore, his IQ went back online. The hand that was holding the paintbrush released and the dirty brush fell on the carpet, splattering paint everywhere. His hands started shaking as he stepped back from the small almost finished
