The Heartbreaker (Completed)

I look down in shame and nod. "I've been asking myself that over and over again in the last few days, but I can't find the answer," I mumble softly. “I was so scared you would break my heart, but actually I already did it myself by pushing you away from me. And I'm so sorry that I hurt you too. That I broke what we had together ... ”I wipe the tears from my cheeks with both hands. “I'm so sorry, Jake. I'll make it up somehow. If you ... if you give us another chance. I totally understand that you cannot forgive me immediately, but ... " The words get stuck in my throat as he releases his rigid posture and approaches me, bridging the distance and stopping right in front of me. My eyes soak up every inch of his beloved as I slide my gaze up to his face, and my heart skips hard as he puts his hands to my face and wipes away the next gush of tears with his thumbs."But?" He asked.I can no longer think clearly because he is so close to

This smile. It's still so familiar to me, even if I haven't seen it in a very long time. When I was little, it comforted me from grief, warmed me, and made me believe that everything would be fine because my mom always told me after something bad happened. Only later did I understand that she was smiling to cover up her own worries and the hopelessness. Your smile now doesn't seem fake, it's warm and inviting - and it comes from the heart.Before I can think any further about what I'm doing here, my legs have already started moving and bridging the gap between my mother and me. As soon as I stand in front of her, I only register briefly how good she looks - not at all exhausted, tired or sick. The next moment she pulls me into her arms and presses me tightly against her slim body."Hello, darling," she whispers next to my ear as I cling to her and let my tears flow.Her smell, her warmth - I missed all of it so much, even if I always made it up to myself that I

The tension is only slowly releasing from my shoulders, the uncomfortable pressure in my stomach disappears and I can breathe deeply again.The mattress sinks next to me and Jake's lips gently brush my temple. "Done it," he whispers next to my ear.I look to the side and try to smile. "I can't decide whether it went reasonably okay or totally catastrophic," I reply, also quietly. Talking to Jake's family drained my last strength. If I lie down now, I will definitely sleep like a rock."Somehow both." He frowns slightly, probably thinking back to the conversation. After we returned to his parents' house in the evening, his parents and siblings were waiting for us in the living room. Mr McAdams got straight to the point of our visit, which his wife had probably already told him about. His anger was mainly directed at Claire, who dared come into his house and rage around like a berserk . Jake stood by his best friend immediately, and then everything ha

Of course Claire is right about everything she says, but I can no longer watch her beat Anne down. Not when Jake's mom clearly shows how much she regrets her behavior. She loves her son, of course, but she's caught between two stools. And Claire's finger pointing only makes her situation more unb

The journey seems forever to me. Much longer than my escape two weeks ago. Probably because at the time I was numb inside and now I can hardly wait to finally reach our goal.We change several times, spend the night in a small hotel and definitely not go back by train or bus. But even if s

"Well, there you see it, Evy," says Lu again and says what goes through my head. "And all the heartache and heartache could have been prevented if you'd opened your mouth." And how right she is ...I sigh heavily and get up to go to Claire. "I'm so sorry," I say softly, and wa

Slowly I sink onto an old bench nearby and take a deep breath as I review the events of the past few hours and finally end up at Sebastian's opening that Jake fucked Jill . It was really hard to hear, and I'm damn glad it wasn't. Perhaps a small part of me even feels something like satisfaction b
