Prologue: That Night
Jake stared at Marley, who was dancing with Unique. Tonight was the night he would tell her that he likes her. Even if she didn't feel the same way, he was still going to be honest. He hoped that she liked him otherwise it would be awkward between them in the future.
"Ugh, seriously just tell her or I will," someone said.
Jake turned to see Kitty standing next to him.
"What are you talking about?"
"Really? You're going to play dumb with me, Puckerman? It's quite obvious you like the girl whose name reminds people of the dead dog movie."
"Why do you care if I tell her or not? I thought you didn't want her to be with me?"
Kitty sighed.
"I may be a bitch. And sure I don't want her to be with you, but believe it or not I do want you to be happy. So if being with her makes you happy then all I have to says is 'Go get her, tiger," she said with a smile and pushed him in Marley's direction.
She had been talking to Kevin, Ryder's friend, when he walked up to her.
"Sorry to interrupt, but Marley when you get the chance I need to speak to you"
"Okay Jake, give me a minute," she said with a smile.
Marley was kind of thrilled to know what he wanted to talk about. She knew that she was going to tell him that she liked him. But what if he doesn't like me in that way, she thought. I don't want our friendship to become weird. Maybe I should just wait to see what he wants to talk to about before I say anything.
Jake smiled and walked to get another drink (Ryder's parties were always supplied with alcohol. Which made him sort of popular with the glee club). He walked over to the couch and placed his cup on the table next to him. He looked at Kitty with a nervous look on his face. She responded with a smile and two thumbs up. Marley made her way to Jake. He suddenly became even more nervous and began to drink. It tasted funny but he didn't pay it any mind. All he thought about was how he was going to tell her how he felt.
"So Jake what did you want to talk about?" Marley asked.
"Well I… I wanted to tell you…" he began. But when he looked up at Marley she became blurry.
"I'm sorry but I need to get some air," he said as he got up and left a sad Marley behind.
He made his way to the back door. No one noticed that he had bumped into things. What's happening to me, he thought. He was about to fall forward when someone caught hold of him.
"Jake, come with me," the person said.
All Jake though about was how the person sounded like Marley.
"Marley, I…"
"Yes, Jake"
"I need to tell you before I get to scared again. I like you. I like you a lot."
"I like you too, Jake," the person said as they led him into what Jake guessed was Ryder's bedroom.
"What are you doing?" Jake asked as he was thrown on the bed.
"I've been waiting forever for this moment, Jake," the person said as they removed Jake's shirt, "You're mine now"
Jake tried to see who this person was because he knew Marley would never act this way. He felt like he was going to pass out. The last thing he saw was a flash of blonde hair.
"No, don't,"
And with that Jake's world went dark.
