CH: 36 CONFUSED

JACOB'S P.O.V.

I was not happy at all with Mason and Krystal getting close to each other but 'do I had any other option?' 'No' I didn't have any other option so I have to accept it. The way they were acting all lovey-dovey was hurting me but I kept it all in my heart and avoided them as much as I can, but as time passed it became impossible for me to ignore them as their love was everywhere in the room. As soon as my food finished I waited for them to finish it and after they finished Mason went to wash the dishes and I just sat there finding some reason to leave early but I couldn't as when I talked to Eddie he told me that he will be coming at 10:00 and it was only 9:20.

When I looked back to Mason I saw that Krystal and Mason were having fun washing the dishes and helping each other and that was the moment the flashback came to my mind when we washed the dishes together playing with the foam and we laughed our lives out during playing, but now that was just a memory. I sighed as I made my way to our room and picked up my phone checking some memes when I again heard Krystal and Mason talking. It hurts my heart a lot; I wished that I was the one who played with mason like that, the one with whom he loved to spend time with. Even when I think about our kiss which happened 2 days ago; I feel like maybe he was drunk and mistook me with someone else. I knew it was just an excuse, but I wanted to forget it. I wanted to claim it a misunderstanding, but deep in my heart, I wanted it to be true.

I went outside to drink water when I saw Mason hugging Krystal, and I felt broken at that moment, and when I heard mason saying, "I LOVE YOU." I was on the urge to cry but I controlled myself, I was staring at him when he turned and our eyes met, but as soon as that happened I turned my face away. I made my way to the kitchen thinking that everything was so good 2 days ago, but now everything is changed as if we never were close. Or as if we never wanted to be with each other. I felt like running away from everything I was seeing and feeling.

I was again sitting in the room alone, and was staring at the blank space when I heard the door opening. And the one on the gate was none other than Krystal. She moved her feet towards me and I was looking at her while she smiled at me and I returned her the smile.

She stood near me and said, "Jacob, I want to talk about something."

The bell again rang and this time it was Eddie. I smiled looking at him as he was the only hope for me at that moment when I was just suffocating myself in the room listening to Krystal and Mason talking and laughing. I didn't waited for another second and held his wrist and dragged him outside before even letting him enter the house because I didn't want to stay inside anymore. I saw his eyes widening with shock but then he started walking with me, without saying a word.

"How are you?" he asked when we made our way towards his car as I was still dragging him.

"I'm good. What about you?" I asked and let his hand go as we reached his car.

"I am good too, and I could not be any better right now." He said giggling.

"Hey! What are you laughing about?" I asked as I stared at him while opening the door.

"Nothing," he said and went to the driver's seat.

I went silent after he turned on the engine and started driving the car.it was quite a long drive and Krystal's words were ringing in my mind throughout the way.

FLASHBACK

I was sitting in the room back alone remembering every joyful moment I had with Mason and was felling the emptiness inside me growing bigger and bigger. I laid down on the bed thinking all about that when Krystal knocked on the door and said, "may I come in?" I replied with a yes and she entered the room and closed the door behind her.

"can I sit?' she asked pointing at the beanbag placed near me, I nodded my head and she again spoke breaking the awkward silence we had for almost 5 minutes after she entered the room.

"Listen, Jacob, I know everything so you don't have to ide or act like nothing is wrong around you."

"what are you talking about?" I asked as I was confused about what she was talking about because I had many things that I was keeping inside me.

"I know that you like or maybe love Mason. "She replied looking straight into my eyes

As she completed her words I went blank for a moment as I was not expecting it to come up at such a moment because they both were dating and saying those words from her was really awkward for me.

"I just want to say that let the thing they are going right now, you will get to know everything with time. Just don't lose hope and I know I am no one to interrupt between your both lives but I really wanted to tell you that the things which are happening right now are all for some cause and the conclusion will depend on how you will react to it, but don't just run to the conclusion just give some time to your every positive or negative thought and then decide." She continued and I just sat there not knowing what was she talking about why was she telling me to endure. I nodded my head as if I understood her every word but I couldn't even though I tried my best to do so.

After our chat ended she smiled at me and went back to the living room and left me with many questions.
