Chapter 26: get lost
Jack ran out of the gym and wend strait to Martha's appartement. He had no idea if she would be calm yet, but he needed to talk to her. He couldn't believe this was happening. He couldn't believe Kim did this. Idiot. He kept running, he didn't care if people were looking at him. He had to talk to Martha right now. He had to tell her the truth. He had to tell her.
Martha was alone in the appartement lying on the couch. She had not gotten to her room. Her eyes were red and puffy from all the crying. Her cheeks were wet from the tears. She was shaken. She didn't know who she was more mad at, Kim or Jack. Before she had gotten to the appartement she had talked to Robbie. She didn't even know why. Somebody started knocking on the door.
Jack knocked on the door as hard as he could. He didn't care he could break it. If he would he would at least be inside. He could always buy Mr. Stewart a new door if it was necesary. He kept knocking. There was no answer. ' Martha! Martha! Open the door. I know you're in there. Open up!' Martha looked to the door. She didn't know if she should open the door. 'Open up. Please.' She suddenly she knew she had to open up. He wouldn't never leave untill she did.
'What do you want?' 'Martha listen to me. I have nothing...' 'No. Stay away from me. I don't care.' 'Kim was lying to you.You know him he lies constantly listen to me.' 'Right. And now you're going to tell me that he somehow convinced the guys to go with him on it.' 'It's the truth!' He tried to grab her arm to tell her he loved her. That he was not lying. 'Don't touch me. Ever again. You're gonna tell me to that the girls were lying to right?' 'Martha...I care about you.' 'I want to believe you I really do. But I don't. I'm sorry. I want you to go. And never come back.' 'Martha.' He moved closer to her and stroke with his finger across her cheek. She grabbed his hand and pushed it away. 'Go away Jack. Please.'
Jack looked at Martha and saw that he would get nowhere right now. Slowely he turned around and started to descent the stairs. He stopped halfway and turned around. 'I'm not lying. I really do care.' Martha said nothing. He kept descending the stairs, when he turned around once more she was gone. All he saw was a closed door.
Martha fell her hearth break again as she saw Jack walk away. But she couldn't do it. Not right now. She was to hurt. She wanted to keep watching untill he was gone, but she couldn't. Slowely she closed the door. She broke down on the ground. Crying her eyes out. She didn't care. Not annymore.
Robbie and Tasha were standing on the beach. 'You ok?' Tasha tried to get Robbie to look at her. 'How could he do this.' 'He didn't do this.' 'You don't really believe that do you?' 'Of course I do. This is Jack we're talking about. And Kim who told her this. THere's no way he's telling the truth.' Robbie laughed. 'Of course you would believe him. you're just like them.' 'Like what?' 'Just like the rest of them.' 'Robbie. 'Just get away from me. Go take care of you lovely friend Jack. Get away from me.' Robbie turned around and walked away from her.
Jack felt really bad. Tears were rolling down his cheeks. He had never really cried but right now he couldn't stop. He ran in his house, when he saw his dad and brother eating he realised he hadden eaten anything at all. He didn't say anything to them just ran into his room and fell on his bed. With his head in the pillows he let the tears roll down. He felt somebody come into the room and knew without looking up that it was his dad. His dad didnt say anything just sad down next to him. He felt his dads hand on his shoulder. He didn't need to say anything his dad was just there for him.
Tasha lied down on her bed staring at the ceiling. She didn't understand what was going on. Actually she did. But she didn't know how he got this far. Robbie was mad at her right now. She knew that. She kept staring at the ceiling when tears appeared in her eyes. How was it possible that Kim had screwed up everything in less then a day?
Robbie trew one of his pillows trough his room. He had told Tasha to get away from him. He wanted to protect Martha, he was really mad but how stupid could he get? He had just gotten Tasha and now he had ruined everything. How was it possible that one person could screw thing up this much? He just wished Tasha could forgive him.
Martha grabbed a teddy bear her dad had given her when she was young. Everytime she held that teddy bear she felt like her dad was close to her. She didn't knew what to think annymore. A part of her wanted to believe Jack more then anything. She knew what Kim was like, maybe she should believe him. But a part of her was just scared. Scared that it might be truth what Kim had told her. Scared of being hurt again. She wasn't strong enough to take another blow. But the part of her hearth that loved Jack was screaming to her to believe him. What was she supposed to do? What?
