Jake was good at hiding his emotions from everyone.
Everyone except Nyla.
Jake felt torn by the way she was trying to understand her situation.
Jake felt pain when he saw her crying and she refused to let him comfort her.
It hurt him that she pushed him away and he was aching to be with her.
He already missed her smell, her touch, her hugs, her kisses, her voice, everything.
It was almost as if his world had gone bleak and lifeless.
3 days, he saw her in class but she deliberately ignored him.
He could smell the anger radiating off of her.
He felt irritable and a little angry.
He was starting to believe she wasn't going to choose her demon side and end up being human.
Then he would truly lose her.
But he couldn't keep doing this. He needed to hear her voice even if it was filled with bitterness and anger.
He longed for her, he ached for her and he felt vulnerable without her.
Her birthday was two days away and if her ignoring him and avoiding him at all costs was any indication, then she was heading in the direction of her choosing her human side, then he had to at least say good bye and when school finished, he was going to her house and talk to her.
Even if the goodbye would kill him.
