That's All He Wrote (3)

Chapter 9

Jacob: what time is it?

Rayan:  its 1:30

Jacob: I think we should be getting home now

Rayan: if we know where home is

Jacob: what do you mean by that?

Rayan: I don't know where we are

Jacob: well i dont either

that surely is something two silly best friends will do: walk around late at night. They looked for something familiar, but all they found was a nearby hotel.

Jacob: I'm kinda tired

Rayan: me too

Jacob: there's a motel right there, you wanna crash there for the night?

Rayan: you got money?

Jacob: of course I do. Do you?

Rayan: yea maybe we can split the cost

Jacob: okay

They checked into they hotel, but there was only one room available and it had one bed. They both stripped and prepped for bed. While Jacob was in the bathroom, he had checked his phone which had dozens of texts and missed calls from Chresanto. He decided to call back.

Call with Chresanto

Chresanto: where are you? I'm worried sick

Jacob: can you do me a favor?

Chresanto: what's that?

Jacob: tell Bahja that you're on the market

Chresanto: what do you mean???

Jacob: chresanto I saw you, you had her on top of you

Chresanto: no you're -

Jacob: I don't wanna be with you anymore okay? Just forget all about me

Chresanto: Jacob listen to me

Jacob: no you listen to me! You say that I'm the only one you want but you go after that bitch! You're a liar!! Don't come near me or my house or my friends ever!!!

With that said, Jacob hung up and opened the door, Rayan was standing out the door. He pulled Jacob into a hug, doing his best efforts to comfort his best friend.

Rayan: aye I hope you feel better soon. I hate to see you upset

Jacob: yea well at least I'm not crying

They both walked over to the bed. Jacob sat on the side of the bed and folded up his clothes to prop his head like a pillow.

Rayan: Jacob come sleep up here

Jacob: I'm fine down here

Rayan: no you're not. Just share the bed

Jacob: okay but only cause you insisted

Jacob got up and gently slid onto his side of the bed.

Rayan: goodnight Jacob

Jacob: night Rayan

The silence was deafening, they both had their backs to each other. Jacob was too disturbed to find his way to sleep. When the mind is full, it gets harder to relax and rest and rayan definitely took notice. Jacob looked up at the ceiling and he thought: thought about life, thought about relationships, even thought about what his next move was gonna be.
