- 17.
I looked at the people confused.
Then I looked at Jake.
He knew me.
He knew that I didn’t know anything.
He opened his phone and showed me the
news.
く
I was under attack.
Jake turned off his phone and looked at me.
“Tori, you know what’s going to happen if I
open this door.”
Was he threatening me?
What could he take from me?
Jake said, “So, you’re not going to tell me
anything?”
“What do you want me to say?”
Jake stepped toward me.
“Why were you crying when I crashed?
L
You cried, but you didn’t tell me.”
I didn’t answer.
“Tori, are you acting stupid?
Did you care about me? Did you love me?”
I clenched my fists.
“That’s in the past.”
Jake’s eyes went red.
I had said the wrong thing.
“It’s not in the past! It’s not, it will never be!”
I felt a pain in my head.

I felt bad for him.
“What if I loved you? We are finished, can we
start again?”
I thought I saw a light in his eyes.
“If we started again? Yes, we can!”
Jake was yelling.
I thought about the past.
Jake, saying that he loved me.
Five years later, his eyes were the same.
“Where are you with Darcy?”
