Never Tell (Royce)

Chapter 10: assholes

Jacob's P.O.V

I wiped my red puffy eyes and sat on the edge of the counter. Iv been sitting in this bathroom for a good 15 minutes thinking about what to say to Chresanto. Im thinking i shouldnt say anything to him, just ignore him. He hasn't even came to check up on me. I chuckled and began laughing. Remembering what i said before i came back to here. I got off the counter and looked at myself in the mirror.

Me: Your stronger and better than you were in high school. Fuck anyone who tries to put you down. Keep ya head up nigga and do better.

I chuckled at myself. Im not crazy i just have more confidence than before. I took a deep breath and finally opened the door. I walked to Chres's room and gathered my things ready to go home. After i was done i grabbed my bag and headed downstairs.

Neveah: WHERE YOUU GOINGGG ?

She giggled and i smiled at her. She's so damn cute man.

Me: im going home

Neveah: but- but why ?

Me: i have things to do Veah ok i'll see you soon

Neveah: promise ?

Me: i promise. Where's your dad ?

Nevah: in the back yard.

I nodded and walked to the back yard seeing Chres doing nothing but pacing back and forth slowly.

Me: Chres im leaving

Chres: what why ?!

Me: i just gotta go

Chres: have you been crying ?

Me: No my eyes are just sweating.

I couldnt even look him in the eyes. I wanted to cry to make him see what he's doing to me but he probably doesnt care. He came closer and i turned sideways avoiding all eye contact with him.

Chres: can you look at me ?

I shook my head no and looked down at my feet. He frowned and lifted my chin up with his in finger. He was now looking at my wet cheeked filled with salty tears.

Chres: whats wrong ?

Me: nothing but im gonna go

Chres: but i just wanna kno-

Me: bye Chres

I went back inside with him following me. I gave a sad looking Neveah a hug. I rushed out the door and into my car. I wiped my tears and put the key in the ignition starting up the car. As i drove i turned on K Michelle- Maybe I Should Call

Long distance in the way of what could be
Even when you're here, you're not with me
She's having the child I should've carried
I'll be damned if yall get married
How's the baby, How you adjusting?
Ain't gon work, you got problems trusting
Let me stop, I'm supposed to be focused
But these nights are the coldest

Will you ever let her go? I don't know
Will I ever be first? I hope
But I ain't just sitting around, can't wait for someone to sing my worth
Damn I can't compete with a baby
Is there any room left in your heart for me

I love him [x5]
Maybe I should call,
Maybe I should call
I love him [x5]
But I never call
Maybe that's my flaw

Maybe that's why I ain't got a man
Cause I be doing too much thinking
Tryna compensate for your absence
But no drug can take me where you can
No I just want you where I am
1,000 of them, just want one him
Drowning in all of my excuses
Heart is feeling useless
Probably should've used it less

Will you ever let her go? I don't know
Will I ever be first? I hope
But I ain't just sitting around, can't wait for someone to sing my worth
Damn I can't compete with a baby
Is there any room left in your heart for me

I love him [x5]
Maybe I should call,
Maybe I should call
I love him [x5]
But I never call
Maybe that's my flaw-

I pulled up to my house turned off the car got out and locked the car doors. I opened the house door and threw my bag down.

Me: RACHEL ?

I got no answer. I guess shes gone. I looked on the counter and found a note.

Jake I Went To Meet Up With Quan He Said He wanted To Talk So See You Tomorrow Boo Have A Good Day

Xoxoxox Rachel

I sighed and checked my phone that was now ringing. I looked at the caller ID "Chresanto 😍💕😘💦" it read. I press declined and went upstairs. Maybe a nice hot shower would calm me down. Yea. I went upstairs and got ready for my shower.

Chresanto's P.O.V

After Jacob left i was tryna figure out why he was crying. What happened ? Did someone die ? I called him and he didnt answer. Ugh !

Neveah: daddy why did Jacob leave

Me: sweetie idk

Neveah: man i really like Jacob

Me: really?

Neveah: yeassss ! He's fun and cool daddy

Me: awwe we'll see him soon

I smiled and she sat on the floor playing with her dolls. This girl will be the death of me i tell you

Neveah: he probably left because you and mommy were talking

I snapped my head towards her.

Me: what ?! Did he hear anything

Neveah: idk i guess so. He went upstairs after he saw you guys kissing

Me: thanks for telling me

She nodded and i tried calling him again but he didnt answer. Shit ! I didnt mean to hurt him its just Nique kinda made me forget about Jacob but being with Jacob felt magical yesterday. Being cuddled up with him it was amazing. I fucked up already and i didnt even get a chance to really know him like i want to. I put my face in the palm of my hands and thought for a minute.

Me: Veah go get a bag together

NeVeah: were we going

Me: you going to grandma house

She nodded and went upstairs to pack her bag. I cant believe i missed that. Im a horrible person.
