Holly's POV
"Holly Guess what!" Jake shouted from across the road as he dodged the ongoing traffic "They called today, I got the job!"
"Oh my gosh, Well done!" I told him smiling "let's go celebrate?"
"Hell yeah"
We went to the bar in our building; it was full of regulars and people who lived in the building. It had glass walls and a huge plasma screen TV showing nonstop sports. The bartender was a nice enough guy, he always knew what me and Jake wanted and seemed genuinely happy for Jake about his new job. It was only an apprenticeship but Jake had wanted it so badly he even arrived an hour early to the interview and they had to tell him to wait in a nearby cafe because they weren't ready for him yet.
While Jake went to get drinks, I sat on our table and watched the game. I was about to get up and see why Jake was taking so long with the drinks when somebody touched my shoulder.
"Well aren't you a pretty one?" said a drunk looking man "You got a name darlin'"
"If you'll excuse me, I need to find my friend, he'll be looking for me" I said trying to get rid of the man but he was persistent
"What he left you here all alone? There's such a lot we could get up too..." started the man but he was interrupted by a tall dark haired man who had punched him right in the mouth.
The dark haired man was punching the other man until he lost consciousness, picked him off and carried him to a seat in between two tough looking men. When he came back I was still amazed at what had happened. I wanted to thank him but I wasn't really sure how.
"Thank... Thank you" I managed, I was still in complete shock
"Well you didn't think I was just going to leave you there? Come on Holly you know I'm not like that" He said and I finally realised who it was
"Will? Is that you or am I dreaming?"
"Nope, it's me, took me long enough to find you but I never gave up" he said "Speaking of which how come you remember me? I thought you had amnesia the night you left?"
"Not any more, I remember most things but there are other things that I cannot for the life of me like for instance I still can't remember Jake or the reason we left"
"Well, if it makes you feel any better you and Jake weren't that close everybody kind of exagarated that bit I suppose"
"We are really close now though, he just got a job today thats why we're here celebrating"
"Not close enough to save you from that bastard though"
"What is he talking about Holly?" Said Jake finally back from getting drinks
"Oh nothing just this man got a bit drunk..." I began
"... and he assaulted her, lucky I tackled him and he's gone now" Will said provoking Jake " Speaking of, where were you? Not much of a fighter? Willing to let people do things to Holly that you'll never get to do..."
"You asshole! You think that you can just come here and suddenly you know everything" said Jake throwing a punch
"Stop it!" I shouted but he didn't seem to notice he just kept hitting Will
After a while he started to slow down and it became apparent that Will was no longer conscious. I screamed and finally Jake stopped. By the time he had finally stopped somebody had called the police and they took Jake away. All I could think about was the look in Jake's eyes like he actually wanted to kill Will.
I took Will back to our apartment and put him down on the sofa to sleep. Then I went into my room and turned on the radio.
I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kind of boring
Need something that I can confess
Till all my sleeves are stained red
From the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw me wink, no
I've been on the brink, so
Tell me what you want to hear,
Something that were like those years
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time
Don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I gonna give all my secrets away
My god
Amazing that we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And every day I see the news, all the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises, just write it into an album
Seen it straight to go
I don't really like my flow, so
Tell me what you want to hear,
Something that were like those years
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time
Don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I gonna give all my secrets away
Oh, got no reason, got no shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'mma tell you everything
Tell me what you want to hear,
Something that were like those years
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time
Don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I gonna give all my secrets away
Jake's POV
Of course Holly comes to pay my bail which is good, however the guy who I beat the living crap out of yesterday is now on my sofa, watching football and eating my food.
"What the hell Holly?" I say as I walk in
"Well it's the least you owe him isn't it? Anyway don't you remember Will from our old school?"
"Oh yeah I remember Will, makes me want to kick him out even more"
"Please, he's just staying another night"
"Fine but he better be gone when I come home from work tomorrow, I got a surprise" I say "Where's Daniel and Mara?"
"I don't really know but she said she needs to talk to me about something"
Mara's POV
"Oh hi Holly, I kind of need to talk to you about something"
"Yeah sure go ahead"
"You know when you and Daniel broke up; he still liked you for ages after that"
"Um yeah"
"Well one night he saw you and Jake together and he got drunk and I was upset at Mick because I though he was cheating" I began "and well we started drinking even more and well now I'm..."
"You're what?"
"I'm...I'm pregnant"
