chapter 44
I wake up I am super excited knowing that this is my first day at my new job I can’t wait last night with a bust but OK with that. I am not letting it bring me down. I go into my closet and I search for something that is sexy but classy. This image I see myself now is different from whom I used to be. It’s been awhile since I’ve been around co-workers, so I am really excited just to get the hell out of here. Starting a new adventure, feeling like a different person. I hear a knock at the door before I go to answer it; I become nervous.
“Jake what are you doing here?”
“I wanted to talk to you about everything that has happened in the past couple months, do you have a minute?”
“I am actually getting ready to leave, I have my first day at my new job today, but I could text you when I get off if you want maybe come over then?”
“You got a new job that is great, I can come over later if that is good for you. Jessica, I’m sorry I put my hands on you, I was in a really bad place.”
I look at him with concern on my face “it’s OK Jake I know that you didn’t mean to there was a lot that was happening.”
“Would you mind if I walked with you to the bus stop?”
“That would be fine let me just grab my purse then we can leave.”
When I turn away from the door Jake just comes in, at first, I am nervous I am uncertain if he’s going to try to do something to me. I try to make it known that I am not scared of him, but he just looks at me. The look in his eyes are different than what they were before it’s such confusion it almost makes me feel bad for him. I try to rush around together my things, so we could leave my apartment. I am still a little hesitant to be alone with him with after what happened. His stands in front of the door I start to worry is he blocking me I walk up to him.
“I’m all set are you ready to walk me?”
“Yes let’s go So where did you find a job at?”
“I am uncertain if you ever heard of it, it’s called Blair street marketing.”
“Wow, of course I’ve heard of it, it’s one of the biggest marketing places in the area that is awesome congratulations.”
“Yes I am pretty excited I will admit I am nervous but a more excited than anything this is what I always really wanted to do now that I get to try it’s exhilarating.”
“Look this what I wanted to tell you, I know that everyone thinks that I killed Kendra, but I didn’t. I lost my mind a little to make people believe that, but I didn’t hurt Kendra Just in case you think I did, I want you to know the truth.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“I look at him with sympathy in my eyes Jake I never really thought you would really be capable of killing someone I was hoping it wasn’t true but then when you hurt me, I thought maybe it was a possibility I’m sorry.”
“Jessica I was in a really dark place after our breakup I don’t know what happened to me, I was fine, and then I wasn’t. My parents helped me get the help that I really needed I am better now.”
“I am really glad that you’re doing good Jake and you got to help that you needed that is great.”
“Jessica you ever need anything you can always call me I will leave you alone I just wanted to apologize for what I have done.”
“Jake I appreciate your apology and I would really like if we could be friends.”
“I am not capable of being anyone’s friend right now But when I am I able, I’ll get a hold you maybe we for a drink.”
I can’t resist, I put my arms around his neck and give him a hug and kiss his cheek. “Jake, I am so happy that you are OK take care of yourself.”
“Thank you so much Jessica I will do my best if you would like instead of waiting for the bus I could always take you to work.”
“All right that sounds great thanks Jake, I really appreciate it.”
“My car is over this way.”
I am so surprised by Jake, I’m so happy that he is doing better. I knew that he could not do what they were accusing him of, even though he lost himself a little. Unhappy that he was getting the help that he needed. When I get to his car, he opens the door for me, I get in. He gets in beside me then suddenly he looks at me, everything goes black.
