Chapter Thirty Nine.

Lauren.

"Are you alright?" Jake asked as soon as I went into the kitchen. Corrie had just left about five minutes back so I had decided to collect myself before joining Jake. I knew my actions towards Corrie had been rude but it was nothing compared to the heartbreak he had given me. I knew he was sorry, I could feel it but I had forgiven him several times before and I still ended up in this very position. How my life had got to this, I couldn't recall. I missed being happy and laughing at the stupidest jokes ever just because everything about him gave me joy and a reason to wake up with a smile every single morning.

"Baby, anything wrong?" I heard Jake ask again after I had failed to reply the first time.

"No, nothing is wrong. I just have a lot of things going through my head at the moment but I am okay." He didn't seem convinced with my answer but he wasn't the kind to insist so he let it go.
