Falling In Love With A Broken Hearted Man

I was so nervous that I almost fell down on the table. And I'm still thankful that Jacob was there to catch me.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to roll over the floor?" He teased.

His smirked was even reaching his ears. I didn't know what to react in front of him since I could feel the stares of Noah.

Why does he have to show up to an even like this?

"There, sit and eat this," He sliced a bit of meat and offered it to me. "Say ah.."

"Why are you doing this?" I even more felt anxious when he does this.

Not now, Jacob. Please..

"I wanted you to eat, why? Do you want me to carry you while putting this in you mouth?"

"Yuck!" I glared at him. "You're so gross, how can you even say that?"

The party started and all I can do is to keep silent on my seat. I couldn't even concentrate on listening to Jacob's saying, I was too busy looking around.

Where's my friends?!

"Are you looking for Jennie and Marco?"

I glanced at Jacob and raised my brow. He knows it but he didn't even tell it to me?

"Where are they?" I asked.

"There.." He points at the table on the right side. I saw my friends waving at me and Jennie was shining with her black cocktail dress.

"Oh god. Why I didn't saw them right away?"

I felt like I'm losing my hope now. I wanted to go home and just pretend that I didn't saw him.

"Are you okay?" I was startled when Jacob's hand wrapped around my waist to help me. "Do you wanna go home?"

"Let's just stay for awhile, I still need to catch up with my friends." I forced a smile.

"Stay here, I'll call for them." He stood up and walked towards my friends direction.

I suddenly felt dizzy and I don't know why..

I also stopped drinking my medicine last year, so I doubt that It's coming back again. Maybe, I'm a bit tired..

"Raine! What happened? Are you okay?" Jennie's face looked worried while Marco was holding a glass of water.

"I'm fine. I just felt a bit dizzy.."

I massaged my head and took the water that Marco gave me. Jacob was also busy looking for a medicine. I doubt that he'll get it. No one would bring a medicine for dizziness here.

"Why did you come here if you don't really feel okay? We can understand you know.." Jennie rubbed my back. If I didn't feel unwell, they wouldn't go here.

"You didn't sit here, why?" I pouted.

I was really expecting that we're going to get along as soon as I arrived here. But to my surprised, I didn't saw them. Only Jacob show me their direction.

"Uh.." Jennie was panicking.

"It's Jennie's plan! She wanted to give you some alone time with Jacob!" Marco shouted and Jennie immediately covered his mouth.

"What?" My brows furrowed.

I don't get it. Why would they give us an alone time? Jacob is my friend and they're also my friends. What?

"Ah.." Jennie bit her lower lip. "I just thought of giving you a chance to be with him.."

"I'm always with him, his butt can't even stay away from me. And guess what? He can't even eat without bugging me to eat with him!" I rolled my eyes.

Their eyes locked on each other and they both laugh at the same time. I wanted to ask they they're laughing but I just zip my mouth.

"Here's the medicine, make sure to drink it well," He even put the medicine on my mouth.

"Can you just put it in a nice way?" I asked sarcastically.

"Just fucking drink it! I can't let you collapse here, you're too heavy!"

I immediately hit his arm with a fork. I didn't even ask him to carry me! What a bastard!

"I don't want to be carried by you jerk!"

"They're fighting again.." Jennie and Marco shook their heads while watching us.

It's Jacob's goddamn fault. He's always annoying and I'm willing to kill him for that.

"Are you really okay?" Jennie asked while sitting beside.

"Just how many times you would ask that tonight?" I chuckled.

She's worrying too much that I had to wear a mask just to make her feel at ease.

"Come on, we're friends Raine and I've known you for years. I was able to determine if you're okay or not.." She stared at me. "And also the fact that he's here.."

I thought they didn't recognized him since he's changed a lot. I barely recognized him awhile ago, if it weren't for his name I wouldn't know that it's him.

"Marco was so worried about you too, so when Jacob approached us we immediately went with him here. I was so worried.." She pouted.

"I'll just stay for an hour and then I'll go home. Sorry, I'll have to leave early.." I apologized.

"It's fine. You can just rest at home, we can't let you stay if you're not okay.."

We stayed on our table after that. There are a lot of programs that the student council officers prepared. I just watched my friends play most of the games on the gymnasium. I didn't know that the acquaintance party also had this kind of program.

Jacob was also busy chatting with his friends on my side. He's also checking on me everytime. I wanted to rant when he's overreacting as he touched my forehead. I'm not even sick!

He said he needs to monitor my temperature so he can put me on the hospital immediately. I wanted to say that I can manage myself but he's too busy checking my condition that he's glaring at me when I'm pushing his hand away from me.

I'm not a kid to be treated like this and I'm so embarrassed that he's doing this in front of other people.

"Can you stop checking my temperature? I'm fine! I'm not sick," I looked away.

He's making it obvious that I'm not okay. I hate attention you know..

"Don't be stubborn! You're really a brat!" He gave me a dangerous look.

"You're the brat!"

I just rolled my eyes at him and started to eat my food. He's also feeding me and damn, why can't I stop him?

I wanted to smack his face for gathering a lot of attention as he do this. He's so annoying!

"Eat slowly, you'll get an indigestion." He wiped my lips with his thumb.

"Eww! Don't you have a table napkin or even a handkerchief there?" I asked with my mouth open.

"Psh! Stop asking and let me take care of you!"

I just kept quiet and do as he say. I'm can't even complain to his actions while I'm doing it. Fuck this.

"C-can I go to the restroom? I need to pee.." I bit my lower lip.

"Oh. Do you want me to go with you?"

"No way!" I refused. I can manage myself.

"Let me come with you!" Jennie volunteered and immediately dragged me out of the gymnasium.

I feel like I can finally breathe now that I inhaled a fresh air outside. The breeze of the wind is so refreshing as it touched my skin.

I smiled at the wind and looked everywhere to see the lights that are shining so bright in this night. Everything was aesthetic and amazing.

"Go. I'll wait for you here," Jennie said as we arrived at the restroom.

"Aren't you going inside?" I asked.

It's a bit dark here outside, so I bet she wouldn't want to be alone here.

"I'm good. I just need some fresh air. Harry was getting into my nerves that I wanted to freshen up my mood,"

I chuckled and just nodded before coming inside the restroom. The reason why came here was just to escape the suffocation inside the gym. He's just everywhere and I felt paranoid like he's looking at me from afar.

I shouldn't care right? I'm too busy to think about it. And I finally moved on from him. Nothing could ever change that now.

I didn't stay for long since Jennie was waiting for me. I just wash my hands and after that, I headed towards the exit area to find Jennie.

But when I looked around, she not there anymore. I even shouted for her name but she's not answering me. I stayed for some minutes incase she just went for a walk but she didn't come, so I decided to just go back inside the gymnasium alone.

Maybe she got bored and left. That's okay though.

"Raine.."

I stiffed on my position as I heard his baritone voice. It sent shivers to my body as I recall those words that sink on my mind.

I didn't know what to do, should I run? Or should I walk like I didn't heard anything?

What business do I have with him anyway? He's not worth my time.

I continue to walk and ignore his presence but to my surprise, he grabbed my hand and turn me to face him. I can't look at him anymore that's why I tore my eyes away as soon as I faced him.

It's too hard to see him again like nothing happened between us in the past. I already forgotten about him, why does he had to show up again?

What for? I didn't want to see him anymore..

"How have you been?" He asked nervously.

His voice even changed. It became more manly that even make my brows furrowed.

Is really that long since we see each other?

"A-are you happy?" I can feel his deep stares at me.

Geez..

"Why are you here?" I didn't mean to be cold but it immediately came out in me.

He didn't speak and I bet he's staring at me again.

And he never took it off which made me feel so uncomfortable with it. Should I ask him to stop?

"Uh..Noa--"

"I missed you.."

I don't know but..my heart hurt as soon as I heard him saying that.. It hurts that the pain brings back the old days when he hurt me before..

Oh god.

To be continued..
