Jake's POV
Jessica put on The 50 First Dates, but halfway through the movie she fell asleep. Her head laid upon my lap. I softly stroked her long hair. She was beautiful when she was asleep.
Jessica, I want to tell you how much I love you, but you would run away. You wouldn't understand, you would just get scared and frustrated with this life that I live.
The movie finished and the end credits were rolling. I stared at them for a while. I felt movement in my lap. Jessica was having a nightmare. She woke with a sudden jerk. Her eyes shot open. She was sweating.
"Jessica? Are you alright?" I asked sitting her up straight and looking at her.
"It's all my fault! It's all my fault." She kept yelling over and over again. She covered her face with her hands.
"Jessica look at me, it's not your fault." I said trying to calm her done.
"Get away from me. You don't know anything. It's all my fault." And she went back to crying again. I got kind of hurt when she told me to get away from her and that I didn't know anything. I've never seen this side of her, she always seemed happy.
I called Kyle since she wouldn't listen to me. He arrived 10 minutes later.
"Hey sorry, business had called. What's the matter with her?" He said. Jessica ha been silent now.
"All she keeps saying that it's her fault. I don't know what she's taking about." I said looking at her.
"Crap." He went running towards Jessica. As soon he saw him, she gave him a hug. They were talking for a while, so I left them alone and left quietly to my room.
Jessica's POV
Jake and I were watching The 50 First Dates, but halfway through the movie I was falling asleep probably because of the long day we had. I was in a deep sleep when my worst nightmare came to haunt me.
I was sweating like crazy. I couldn't stop crying.
"It's all my fault. It's all my fault." I kept saying to myself because it was. Jake was trying to calm me down, but to me I heard many voices in my head and I needed to get away from him.
"Get away from me. You don't know anything. It's all my fault." I yelled at him. He looked kinda hurt, but I didn't know what to do, I just kept crying. He left and I continued my sobbing. 10 minutes I had settled down and I heard a second voice.
Kyle?
"Hey it's going to be alright." He said as he hugged me tight. "Jess it was never you're fault. It was an accident remember?"
"Kyle, it was my fault! If I had never gone to that stupid party and get drunk, nobody would have died! They died because I was being stupid!" I cried even more.
"Don't take it as a punishment Jess, take it as a life lesson. Look how far you have come! If it weren't for that accident you would have never pulled yourself together, you would have never become this smart and beautiful young lady." He said and kissed my forehead. "This was all part of a plan. God's plan for you Jess. Be thankful." I loved Kyle. He always knew what to say. I gave him a big hug.
"Thanks man." I said.
"So, you should go talk to Jake now. He looked kinda sad." He said.
Crap!
I forgot about Jake! I felt terrible, I hope he's knows that I didn't mean those words I said to him.
"Do you know where he is?" I asked him.
"I think he's in his room. I can call him o you want."
"When did you and Jake become best friends?" I asked being suspicious of them.
"Oh, you know, Bro code." He said scratching the back of his head.
"Sure, whatever that means." I said while getting up from the couch.
I went outside and went to Jake's room. I knocked.
"Jake are you in there?" I heard fast footsteps coming towards the door.
"Hey! Hi! Are you feeling better?" He asked like a little child.
"Yeah, uhm, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure. Come in." He said. I went towards the couch. I sat down and took a deep breath. Jake sat across from me on the glass coffee table in front of the couch.
"I'm sorry for acting up earlier. I didn't mean anything I said, I just-" he cut me off.
"Hey I forgive you." He said giving me a smile. I smiled back.
"Okay, so you know how I told that my parents died in a car accident?" I was looking down at ground.
"Yeah, by some drunk bastard right?" He said. I closed my fist and my eyes.
"Well, I didn't mention to you that-" I stopped.
"Mention what?" His eyes were filled with concern.
"That the drunk bastard was me." I said quietly. I looked down at ground waiting for him to say something, but nothing came out of him. I thought this was the end of a good friendship between Jake and I.
"I-I didn't mean to call you a- I didn't know it was you." He said.
"Hey it's okay. I deserved it." I touched his hand making a shiver go done my spine. He smiled at me.
"But you really don't look like that type of person Jessica." I knew he was going to say that. "Looks can be deceiving Jake." I said.
"True. But that was your past, it's what you are doing right now that shows who you are." He said giving me a soft smile. It made me feel better, l never had this good of friend. There was an awkward silent for a moment.
"There's something I've been wanting to tell you." He said grabbing my hands tightly.
