Chapter 8 : The Final Chapter.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" I screamed in horror as Steven tackled Jake and pushed him to the ground falling right on top of him. I tried to pull him off, but fuck it Steven is an overweight man with arms of steel and even trying to hold him back will get you hurt. Seven punches to the face later Jake pulls Steven's hair and pushes him off of him, changing the position leaving him on top. A punch, two and a third.
"Stop it!"
I started pull Jake back and and with all my strength, it worked. Steven gets up wiping the blood from under his nose. Jake wants to have another go but I held him back.
"You know, I knew it, I so knew it," Steven yelled.
"Steven," I cry.
He walks to his car, gets in and drive away. I run after him crying "Steven, baby, wait!"
When I realised how pointless running after him was, I turned to Jake who was bleeding from his head.
"Oh my god! You're bleeding."
Jake wasn't saying anything. He tried to walk back inside.
"No, you can't go in there looking like that!" I grabbed him. "Let me take you to a hospital!"
"You've done enough," he says pushing my hand away.
Before he could reach the door, he collapsed. That was my que. I helped him to the car. Got him to a nearby hospital. Three hours later, his wounds were all stitched up and now he was all set to go. Rachel left him fifteen angry messages and he wasn't ready to answer any of them. The sun was coming up and I was driving him back to his appartment.
The moment I parked, sunlight hit my car, and he was about to get out, but then...
"You were the first person to ever care."
Did he just say that?
"When you showed up looking for me at the club years ago, that was the first time I felt wanted. Ever. It seemed ever since I was born, my whole existence was a mistake, and then you came along, and all that, it changed. I was going to commit suicide the night you showed up, but, I helped you instead. Only, it was you helping me. Then, you, you touched me and, the whole world just dissappeared. I felt needed, like someone could actually, actually care for me."
Tears rolled his cheeks right as the sun hit his beautiful eyes ounce more.
"I'm so happy now, and that's all thanks to you. I found someone to love, who loves me back, I love her so much, and it's all thanks to you. You saved my life. I'll never forget you."
Seeing as there was nothing else I could do, I leaned in for one last kiss which he gave in to.
"Have a great life Jake." I smiled with tears in my eyes. He gets out of the car and that was the last I saw of Jake. My first love.
Driving into the sunset, it hit me.
I did not get the fairytale ending I wanted with Jake, no. But I did live an extraordinary tale. One great love. He was a big part of my stepping into this vast world of complicated human relationships and I, I saved his life. It felt the universe fabricated all of this. I saved him, and he taught me what life is really all about....going with the flow.
Yes, my life had always been so routine perfect but then Jake changed all of that. He taught me life wasn't all about following steps, living by a conduct, or even being happy all the time. You'll get curves, and bends, and thought provoking situations. Like finding him, and saying goodbye to him. You'll scream, you'll cry, you'll scare and get scared. You'll love and be loved. We are all on this earth for such a short period of time, so feel everything. Feel it all. The only thing constant in life is change, and I'm ready to roll with it.
Smiling I remembered the last thing he asked me before stepping out of my car.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"Just call me, Biology Boy."
Now turn up up the music man, cause the album is far from over.
