Semua Bab Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy: Bab 41 - Bab 47

JacobThe dining hall felt like they were closing in on me as I stood there, looking at Daniel.After what he said, I wanted to turn and leave, but that would only mean one thing. That he had won, and I was accepting defeat. Since the incident at the office, he hadn’t even tried talking to me… or apologize for acting like a fucking wild animal towards our teacher. And now, in front of everyone in the hall, he was calling out to me, but still wasn’t talking to me. The dinner nightmare, I kept feeling like something was missing… someone, but I couldn’t quite put my hand on it. Our table was awfully quiet today. No one was talking to anyone or trying to make a silly joke. Suddenly i felt empty… like something had been sucked out of me.Like I was forgetting something… something important.Tried to rack my brain for answers… but there were none. Glanced towards Daniel’s table, and they had quieted down too. None of them was talking… or laughing.Their faces were down on their plate

Being locked up in a room with that fucker, and doing God knows what. He was still all I could think about. I’d sworn never to forgive him… to never speak to him again, but somehow my stupid heart always found a way to betray me. It was almost midnight when I decided to text him.“Well, fuck it,” I said to myself. “It’s not like what we had was real or anything.”So why end it over something so insignificant as this? I would keep seeing Jacob until graduation, and then we would both go our separate ways after that. That was the plan. Always had been and it was a perfect plan, and I’d be damned if I let someone like Richard ruin it. The hallway outside Jake’s dorm was disturbingly quiet.
