The New Beginning-Chapter 8
This is another short chapter but I thought if I posted a short chapter everyday or every other day that it would be ok if they are short. I hope you enjoy this chapter, I can't wait to read your comments! :D
“Jake I don’t know what to say.”
“Just say what you are feeling.”
“Say what I’m feeling? Ok… I love you Jake, we have only known each other for three and a half weeks and I love you more then I have ever loved anyone. I love Jason too though. I can’t choose who I love more because I’m not sure. What I do know though is I am happy to be with you, I’m not sure I would want to be with Jason.”
“Ok, that’s what I wanted to here.” He kissed me. It made me smile, he makes me so happy.
“Summer, would you marry me?” I jumped up from his lap.
“Jake, I can’t marry you. We haven’t known each other long enough to get married.”
“I don’t mean now Summer, in a few years.” He started to laugh and I did to.
“Oh, you scared me. I thought you meant now and I’m not ready to get married again.”
Three weeks passed and I hadn’t heard from Jason. He promised me he would write. Maybe he’s just busy; I hope that’s it anyway. I tried to call him yesterday but he didn’t answer. I walk out to the mail box everyday just hoping that his letter will be there. As I walk out to the mailbox today my heart is racing. I open up the mailbox and there is a few letters inside. Jake, Jake, Jake, me! He finally wrote me back! I can’t believe it.
I ran into the house and threw Jake’s mail on the counter. I ripped open my letter and it read…
Summer,
I’ve missed you so much. Sorry I haven’t written to you I just haven’t had the time. Aunt Anna is working twice the hours she normally works so that means I am with the kids more than half the day. When I am not with the kids though I am with Devin. Summer I never thought I would love anyone but you but I think I am falling for her. She lives across the street from Aunt Anna, she lost her husband not long ago and she really needs someone that can be there for her. I hope this doesn’t hurt you because that is the last thing I want to do. I still love you Summer, you mean the world to me but I think I can build a real relationship with Devin. Hopefully you will get to meet her soon; you two are so much alike.
-Jason
I don’t know why that letter hurt me so bad. I had a boyfriend, Jake, so it should be ok for him to be with ‘Devin’ but for some reason it’s not. I was balling my eyes out when Jake walked into the room.
“What’s wrong Sum?”
“It’s Jason, he likes Devin.”
“What?”
“I don’t know.” I was shaking my head.
“Summer are you ok?”
“Yeah.”
By this time I wasn’t crying anymore. I hugged Jake and he smiled.
“I love you,” I said.
“I love you too.”
“Jake can we go to your aunt’s for a few days?”
“Why?”
“I would just like to meet some of your family.”
“You miss Jay.”
“That too.”
“I’ll call her later and see what she says.” He put his arm around me. At that moment I could see myself in his arms for the rest of my life; I’m not sure I’m ok with that.
