All Chapters of PROMISE ME, JAKE: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

~Jake~She’s hurting and I’m just making it worse by saying the things that I longed to tell her. I’ve never been this helpless before. The fact that she saw me with Priya was the worst betrayal I could ever do to her.After all that we’ve been through; is this how it should end?This is just fucked up.‘I will always love you, but you have to let me go.’ Her words, sharper than knives, punctured my chest, sliced straight through my heart. It felt like my life drained away the moment she turned her back on me. The sound of the door slamming in my face is ear-piercing. Echoes of her agonizing tears remained resounding inside the confines of this room.‘You have to, Jake. Do this for me

~Bobbie~ Green eyes gazed at me lovingly. The purple bruise under his eyes is a reflection of the same color I have on my cheeks. He reached out. The discoloration in his fingers is a complete match to the ones in mine. My chest is constricting at the sight of tears gliding down his eyes, slithering through his dark hair. ‘Bobbie,’ Brandon croaked whilst sobbing in my arms. ‘Why are they angry?’ ‘I don’t know, Bran…’ I patted his hair, pulling the duvet to keep both of us warm. The harsh ocean breeze blowing from the open balcony. The screams and cursing finally stopped, but Brandon is still shaking. Both of us are shaking in fear. I gaze at the door, making sure I locked it. I might have to stay awake for a while longer to make sure that no one will come in here to

~Bobbie~“Are you sure you’re okay?” Zach asked for the hundredth time.“Yeah,” we had to cut short our date because of my panic attack.I gaze at my house, it’s still dark and I guess Matt hasn’t come home yet from his date with Mel.I hate seeing the look on Zach’s face, as if he’s guilty of something.“Look, Bobbie-” Zach began, but I cut him off.“Zach, it’s not your fault.” I looked at him apologetically. Part of me wishes to explain to him these confusing thoughts that are clouding my head, but how can I when I don’t even have any idea what’s happening to me. “When I was in

~Bobbie~Even at work, there was no escaping Jake’s torturous sucking escapade. Right now, he’s kissing Priya by the bar, the sight making me want to gag out all my meals for the day.I’m terribly lost with his plan, or did he have any plans at all… did he say those words to me that night just to give me false hope? The thought that it was part of Priya’s plan to make my life miserable crossed my mind a few times. I’m just too tired to believe anything anymore.‘Focus Bobbie,’ I forced myself to continue wiping the black marbled counter even if I could already see the glass rack above me as well as my reflection.‘God, stop frowning!’ I mentally scolded myself and put on my poker face.

~Jake~ Zach had never been a threat to me, not before he made these bold moves to get Bobbie’s attention. I can’t do anything other than watch her from a distance. Because of my cheating father, I’m left with the task of keeping our family together. I had to push Bobbie away because Priya is getting more and more suspicious, and Zach was taking this time to lure her into his arms. I’m afraid that Bobbie might fall for him. He’s right for her, and that’s what scares me. The glimmer in Bobbie’s eyes while she watched Zach perform the song he wrote for her crushed my heart. I had prepared myself for losing her in this game, but not this early. At this rate, she’ll move on without knowing why I did what I did. I had been watching her room from a distance since Valentine’
