"You." she told him. After all it was true, Jane had craved to be with Jake. To be near him, to be in love with him, for him to love her. I mean they had so much in common! Their names were alike with the exception of one letter. I mean, how much more could we have in comparison? she told herself. She stepped forward towards him.

"Listen Jane," oh it felt so nice to hear him say her name, "I don't have time for this. I may be late for the movie with Amber.". Wonderful, she thought, he's thinking about her when I tell him I love him.

"She can wait." Jane told him coldly.

"No. No, I've waited long enough." Jake turned away from her. How dare he? she thought.

She ran after him, the dark cloak fluttering behind her.


Jake saw Jane run after him. No no no, he screamed internally. His paced quickened as he started to sprint for home. Trevor was barking beside him, happily running with his master. He had to get home, maybe even go straight there; it was late at night after all. While running he checked the watch he had on him. 11:00 PM it read. God, he thought to himself, I'm going to be late!


It was cold waiting for Jake to come. Amber stood alone outside, with only the outfit she wore and a bag in hand; she didn't think about bringing a coat; she thought by now, she would be in Jake's arms watching a Disney movie she had been dying to see. Rubbing her arms and sighing Amber checked the small phone she took from her mother. 11:00, figures. Only then did she think about, I dunno, getting his number before she walked away. She tried to remember earlier that day under the tree with him. Why do I care? she screamed at herself, I haven't even gone out with him once and I'm feeling like a ditched prom date? As the battle within herself raged on, Amber had no idea about the battle in the park.


She had caught up to him. He was almost home, but his collar watch caught by a small yet firm hand and yanked backwards onto the damp ground, his head hitting something hard. Trevor, ignorant to his masters distress, ran along to the house and entered the doggie door. Jane hovered over Jake, a look of pity on her face.

"I'm sorry love." she told him, bending down and caressing his face, "I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted you not to go." Sincerity leaked from her voice.

"Why…?" he asked, his vision going in and out, his breathing hard.

"Because, why does she deserve you? She hasn't loved you for as long as I have."

"I… have… to go.". Jane was hurt by that obviously, she smacked him.

"No! That bitch is a siren! She'll take your heart and eat it! I won't, I'll love you, grow old with you, die with you!"

"I. Don't." he started to sit up.

She pushed him back down and sat on his chest, "You are not leaving!"


11:30. The preview's are starting. Where are you Jake?


I have to get out of here, Jake told himself. With whatever strength he had left, he pushed the girl off of him and stood slowly, dizziness washing over him like a wave. Shake it off, he cried to himself, shake it off! Yet again, and still dizzy, Jake ran into town.


He's not coming, she told herself. The wind had picked up and blew her hair in her face, but she didn't touch it, she was distraught. My life was supposed to begin! she screamed inside, I wasn't supposed to be ditched! As her mind raced and her fury rose, hell stormed in on heels.

Bridget.

"Hey dipstick!" she shouted at her, "Got ditched by my boyfriend?"

"You're lying." Amber said.

"Nope. Couple minutes before you think you got asked out, Jake asked me if I could go to his house. We had a grand old time." a wicked smile formed on Bridgets lips.

She's falling for it.


Amber couldn't take it anymore, she ran, although she wasn't dressed for it, she ran. Ran all the way home before she could cry.


"Amber!" Jake screamed. Here he was, at the theater, but no Amber. Jake glanced at his watch, 12:45. I'm too late…
