London: that’s great. How was it like acting in the big finale of gossip girl?
Jacy: oh, it was unbelievable, everyone was so nice, I watched the show since I was a little girl, from season 1 till the 14th season. and being in it, is just, extraordinary. And being able to act in that episode with my sister and my best friend, that just made my day better.

London: did you hear she's going to be in the next season of Project Runway?
Jacy: yeah, she told me that.
London: *laughs* so could you tell me more about The Broken Record? This is for the people that haven’t watched the show yet.
Jacy: oh sure. Broken Record is about teenage girls going through life, all the drama and the boys, and the drugs and sex, I actually had this inspiration from watching Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill and shows like that. In the first season you’ll see that it shows more of how they became. And soon, you’ll see in the second season, their transformations growing up in a boarding school. They have proms, and graduation, it’ll all be very surprising, I can’t wait to show you guys.
London: is it really based on a true story? like clips and scenes of your life?
Jacy: actually yes, it is how me, my sisters and my friends’ lives were in high school.
London: *smiles* so, about your step-sister.
Jacy: what about her?
London: Megan Beckett, I heard she’s gonna be directing the next Twilight remake. How does that make you feel? I also heard that she’s directing the movie in the same block as your ‘The Broken Record’ block.
Jacy: well, I don’t really care, she can do whatever she wants, but I just hope she still knows that directing is MY dream. That’s all I can say.
London: okay then, last one, we are all dying to know one thing.
Jacy: bring it.

Promise Me. Chapter 11 - The Broken Record.

Jacob's POV.

I was hanging from my seat, staring down at the car’s roof. Apparently, the car was lying upside down on the street, I could see shards of glass out there, and the lights of that other car were still glowing eerily, illuminating the asphalt and this car’s interior. I tried to free myself of the safety belt but found I couldn’t do it. My arms are fine, my chest hurts a little, I probably broke several ribs, and my abdomen was fine, and then I saw it, my leg was stuck in place underneath the steering wheel, in fact held in place by the strangely distorted construction. I felt the stickiness of something, blood, oozing from it. But there was no pain. Not yet, anyway. Great. I suddenly remembered, Andy, I turned my head and saw Andy, he was lying on his side, underneath me. I could make out the side window’s outline. So the car was not upside down, but actually lying on one side. I started screaming, screaming at the top of my lungs, the pain, in my leg, I could finally feel it setting in. I wanted to cry, it hurt so bad. I had to see if Andy was okay.
“Andy! Hey, bro, wake up man, wake up, please,”
He opened his eyes and looked right at me, his eyes widened.
“Jake?! What, what’s going on?!”
I tried to breathe in deeply, tried my hardest not to yell, or scream. But my tears wouldn’t stop flowing. “Andy, I- I can’t, I need you to, get help alright? Just, run out there, and check the other car, see, if, if they’re alright, alright?” I told him.
He kicked the windshield and successfully made his way out, he came to my side.
“C’mon Jake, I’ll help you get out,” he grabbed my arm and tried wriggling me out of my position,
“NO! NO ANDY! It hurts, no, it hurts too bad, I can’t..”
His expression was so, fearful, like this was his entire fault. He just looked around and ran to the other car. I held onto my thigh, crying, in pain. Andy was covered in blood, he came back and looked at me.
“Jake, they’re all, they’re all gone, they’re all dead, nobody’s breathing,” He sounded so afraid.
“I can’t go in there and search for a phone, I—“
“Dee! Look at me! just run, and get help okay? a car will pass eventually, eventually, alright?”
“I can’t leave you man!”
“just go, just go, I’ll be fine,” I lied.
I knew, I knew, I was on the verge of dying. Andy looked at me with concern in his eyes and he just ran like it was the marathon for his life. He had a lot of cuts and bruises on his arms and legs. That was probably caused by all the shattered glass. I tried to move my leg, but I couldn’t, I wanted to die, it was better than facing this much pain.
This is it, I’m going to die.

Promise Me. Chapter 10 - Angels and Car Crashes.

Courtney's POV.

I woke up on my bed, with someone else’s clothes on. Oh my god, did I sleep with someone last night? I held on to my head as I stumbled trying to stand up. I had the most painful headache ever. It was as if my brain has just exploded in my skull, tearing apart shard by shard of my memories. I then saw Jacob running towards me from the door.
“easy Shay, get back to bed, I’ll get you some coffee, and some aspirins,” He said, grabbing my arm, holding me so I won’t fall backwards.
I just groaned and nodded. He gently led me back to the bed. I flopped on the bed and pulled the covers up to my neck, I was freezing. Jacob came back with a mug of coffee and some pills.
“here, sit up,” he helped me sit up, as if I was someone who was losing her life battling for some kind of fatal disease.
I obeyed his commands. After I gulped down two pills, I went back to lay down on the bed.
“did you take care of me?” I asked, talking so softly, like I was whispering.
“well..”
“did you?”
“yeah, I did,”
“how’d you find me?”
“I came over, to see you, but you weren’t home, and I saw the party flyer on the floor,”
“thanks, anyways,”
“no problem,” he half-smiled. “well, I’m gonna go now, if you need anything, just call alright? Don’t do anything stupid,”
I pretended to be asleep.
“alright then, love you Courtney,” he whispered and kissed my forehead before he left.
“I love you too Jacob..” I whispered and I drifted back to sleep.
I woke up the second time. I looked at the clock and the hands said it was 8.30pm. I sat up, my head still had a small headache. Not as bad as the one I had this morning though. I went into the bathroom and looked at myself. I saw that girl, standing in front of me, I looked into her green-blue eyes, and saw nothing. I held my wrist up, and saw the thin, small cuts, that used to be, big, red, painful, stupid, and regretful.

Jacob’s POV.

“PARRTAYYYY!” yelled Andy as I tightened my grip on his arm, he gained weight.
“Andy!” I slapped his face softly “we’re gonna go now alright?”
“but I want party,” he slurred.
“next time Andy, next time,” I put him into the passenger seat of his car and slammed the door with such force.
I was mad at Andy, how many times does he have to go through this? But fortunately, he wasn’t as drunk as he usually was. He can recover from this easily.
“look Andy, I’m sick and tired of this, I can’t take care of you forever, yeah, you’re like my brother, but, what if I die? What are you gonna do? Die with me? Jesus, Andy, you need to learn to take care of your—“ I was just saying when suddenly I saw another car getting closer way too fast. Its’ headlights flashed across the street in a mad meandering line, and before I could do anything about it I felt myself crash into it, with full force.
And then, blank.

Promise Me. Chapter 9 - Girl, I Love You.

Courtney's POV.

I haven’t spoken to Mike and Jacob in a while; I didn’t want to keep pulling them under with me. I love him; therefore I should let him go. I’m sitting at this bar at a new club which just opened tonight. It’s crowded and I’m alone. I’ve been drinking all night. I went to the dance floor and starting dancing, hoping that’ll make me feel better. This guy starting dancing with me, I grinded on him, moving my hips around, I lost myself in ecstasy. He grabbed my waist and turned me around, causing my body to press against his. We were both breathing heavily; I looked into his cold blue eyes, then he leaned in to kiss me. I kissed back, throwing my arms around his neck. After a while, I realized we were making out, in the middle of the dance floor. I giggled when he grabbed onto my ass. I then felt something grab onto my arm and pulled me back. I was too drunk to see whoever it was. What I did see was that thing punching the guy whom I grinded with. I laughed when I saw blood flying everywhere. Suddenly everything went black.

Jacob’s POV.

Jesus Christ, Courtney. She passed out and I caught her in my arms. I sighed and carried her by putting her over my shoulder.
“If you take advantage of another drunk girl again, I’m gonna shove the beer bottle down your throat, you got it?” I said.
The guy put his hands on his face, nodded then ran away. I held Courtney and walked out the bar into a taxi. I told it to wait outside for me. I gently put Courtney into the cab and I went in myself.
“Driver, 67th in Fredrick’s,”
“sure thing buddy,” he replied.
I stroked Courtney’s hair as she lied on my chest, she was so still. She was so beautiful.
“is she your friend?” the driver asked, looking at the rear view mirror.
“no, she’s my ex girlfriend,” I laughed stiffly.
“that’s sweet of you son, to take care of her,”
“yeah, I can’t let her get hurt,” I looked back at Courtney.
“I used to be just like you, but I take of sister like that,” he smiled,
“I’m Bob, you can call me anytime for help,”
“thanks Bob, I’m Jacob, and this is Courtney,”
“alright, here’s our stop,”
“thanks again, I promise to call you if I need anything,”
“I’m right here,” he smiled as I got out the taxi cab with Courtney.
She was barely awake, I wrapped her arm around my neck, I needed her to stay awake.
“whoa Courtney,” I said, holding onto her so she wouldn’t fall.
“hi Jacob, long time no see,” she slurred.
I squinted my eyes and scrunched my nose when I took a whiff of her breath. It’s like taking care of Andy after his Saturday nights. I carried her bridal style and opened the front door with my right foot. She doesn’t lock her door, she never remembers to. After shutting the door I brought her upstairs to our, her room. I carried her into the bathroom.
“Court, stay awake alright? We need to wash you off,” I said taking her shirt off.
She looked at me, her face emotionless. I looked into her eyes, which were completely empty. I took her hand and lead her into the shower. I turned the blue faucet. I stayed behind her in the shower, just in case. She took off her underwear, now she was completely naked. She was shivering. I wrapped my arms around her.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry I left you in the first place, I never should’ve left you,”
“Jacob.. I’m tired..” she said, practically half-asleep.
I turned the shower off and we got out. I dried her off first. I wrapped a towel around her and took off my shirt. I went to the closet to find something for both of us to wear. I grabbed some of my old clothes, Courtney loved wearing my clothes. I’m glad she still kept some of my shirts. I grabbed my old basketball shorts and slipped them on. When I turned around to put Courtney in some clothes, she was already in bed, falling asleep. I smiled and went to her.
“Courtney, sit up, you need to wear something, It’s cold,”
She sat up with her eyes still closed. I laughed and put the shirt on her. I also told her to put on some underwear. And she did. She went to the bed and went back to falling asleep. I grabbed my wet clothes and was about to walk out the door.
“Jake.. Don’t leave..” she said softly.
I turned around and saw her hugging the pillow, I think she was asleep. I went and sat on the bed next to her. I took the pillow away and she shifted on my lap. I rested my head on the headboard.
“I’m not leaving you anymore Courtney, I’ll be here forever,” I kissed her forehead.
I saw her smile softly; there she was, sleeping in peace. I smiled and leaned my head back and tried to fall asleep.

Promise Me. Chapter 8 - You Broke Me.

Jacob’s POV.

I walked into the place, solemn and quiet. After the call I had from Mike about Courtney, I rushed to the hospital, leaving Andy at the apartment. What am I going to do with him? He’s a complete wreck. Ashleey just died a few weeks ago, and now Courtney is taking her own life. Oh god, I hate the smell of hospitals. I saw Mike waiting outside, biting his nails. I ran towards him.
“Tell me she’s okay!” I went hysterical, people began to stare. Mike grabbed me and pulled me into a room.
“Man, if you’re gonna ask me about Court then don’t make a scene,” he said.
“I’m sorry, I just, I can’t lose her,” I said softly.
“She’s stable, no thanks to you,” he spat.
“what the hell is that supposed to mean?” I replied.
“you did this! You left her!”
“What?!”
“why else would she do this?! She feels alone!” he said through gritted teeth.
“and that’s my fault?! You’re her boyfriend; you’re supposed to be there for her! That’s what boyfriends do.” I pointed.
“well sue me, ass hole,” he scoffed.
“I’m a ass hole? She probably cut herself because you’re always out with your buddies, having road trips to Connecticut without her, and not even calling,”
“how do you know that?” his voice breaking,
“I know Courtney, I know when something’s wrong, I call her, to ask if she’s okay, and I’m not even her boyfriend anymore,”
He turned away, I saw a tear roll down his cheek. He was lost for words; he didn’t realize Courtney tried to kill herself. Those last words are probably ringing in his ears. His knees buckled and he fell to the ground and broke down crying.
Mike Meesa doesn’t cry.
I stood there, watching the tears fall from his eyes unwillingly. I crouched down and looked at him. I felt like crying looking at Mike at this state. I put my hand on his back, and rubbed it.
“I know you love her Mike, It’s okay to cry,”
“I can’t believe this!” he wailed, “I didn’t mean to hurt her this bad! I broke her.. I broke her..” He repeated it as if he was a baby learning his first words. I held his shoulder and looked down.
“don’t worry buddy, she’s gonna be fine,”

We entered the hospital and saw Massie and Kim waiting outside her room.
“Courtney wants you guys,” Massie said, pushing a streak of her hair behind her ear.
“Courtney’s not looking so good,” Kim continued after Massie.
I placed one hand on Mike’s shoulder after I nodded at two of Courtney’s best friends.
“you ready?” I asked,
He just nodded as we both walked in, unprepared. Her hair was no longer in a neat ponytail, draped over her shoulder. It was loose and tangled, sticking to the sides of her face. She looked unhealthily pale. There were what seemed to be pounds of gauze covering the self-inflicted slash to her wrist.

Courtney’s POV.

I caught the eyes of Mike and Jacob, but I didn’t say anything. My mind was still a bit foggy, but I caught the smell of a hospital and groaned. Mike made his way over to me. His eyes were clouded, staring at me. Jacob stood at the doorway, not wanting to come closer, as if I’m that fragile. Mike motioned at him, but he just shook his head. He looked back at me and stroked my hair.
“Courtney, are you okay?” he asked warmly.
I shakily lifted my hand and pulled his away. I looked out the window; it hurt my eyes with a painful sensation. I rather have my eyes burnt than look back at those two people who’re acting like I’m a spectacle for everyone to see.
“Court, look at me,” he said, sounding more affirming.
I looked back at him. His eyes were now empty.
“you can talk to me,”
“I want to be alone, Mike,” I said, not actually realizing I was saying that.
“wha—okay, we’ll leave,” he voice raspy, like he had been screaming for hours, “just call me, us, when you need something,” He leaned forward and pecked my forehead and left.
He crashed onto the chair outside my room. Jacob was still standing at the door.
“you know all he’s trying to do is help, you better get that attitude in check,” he said, not even looking at me,
I looked away from him, feeling guilty for what I did, even though I really didn’t mean to.
“and how you could you be so stupid Courtney?! Cutting?! Since when?!”
I looked at him, with tears forming in my eyes.
“SINCE YOU LEFT ME!” I yelled.
His stern face fell. I hope those words haunt him for the rest of his life.

Nick: that’s my job.
Phoenix: *pats his shoulder* you better do it right. *smiles and leaves*
*with Megan*
Megan: *walks into Starbucks* hi, can I get my usual? No whip no foam.
??: excuse me, I was here first.
Megan: well whatever buddy, I need my coffee. I'm quite busy, unlike some people around here.
??: what’s that supposed to mean? Can you just let me have my co—Megan?
Megan: *turns around* Lucas.
Lucas: oh my god, hey. *smiles* wow, it’s great seeing you here. What are you doing in New York?
Megan: I should ask you the same question.
Lucas: *laughs* wanna grab a chair? Maybe catch up a little?
Megan: why not?
Lucas: perfect. *smiles and grabs his coffee*
*they both sit at a table*
Megan: I thought you were in jail.
Lucas: *laughs* I got transferred a lot, my parents, they try everything to make my life better. And I just got released yesterday. Parents finally bailed me out.
Megan: *laughs* that’s great, and yeah, I know what you mean, my mum has been a wreck since my dad died. She’s been pushing and pushing me and my step-sisters to keep working and working, it’s tiring.
Lucas: oh? your dad died? I’m so sorry.
Megan: nah, don’t say sorry, it was his time.
Lucas: yeah. It’s nice you’re not crying about this like other people would.
Megan: well, why should I cry if he was already there for me? His real job was to raise two beautiful daughters, and he did that. He was done.
Lucas: yeah. That’s right. You’re still strong I see. *smiles*
Megan: *laughs* yeah.
Lucas: so hows you and Caleb?
Megan: *laughs hysterically* me and Caleb? No, no, we’re not together.
Lucas: oh, so you broke up?
Megan: yeah, like before graduation. I knew, we were already over.
Lucas: that’s sad. He was lucky he had you. *smiles at her*
Megan: *laughs* okay? so, what are you gonna do next?
Lucas: I’m gonna be looking for a job. I can’t live on my parents’ money forever you know, I need to be more independent.
Megan: yeah.
Lucas: what do you work as?
Megan: I’m a director.
Lucas: oh, wow. That is, wow.
Megan: *laughs* it’s not really wow.
Lucas: are you kidding? Are you getting all that fame and cash?
Megan: no, I just started. But my step-sister, Jacy, is really bathing in the spotlight right now.
Lucas: oh, yeah, I heard, Jacy Fabergas, big director! Her acting isn’t bad either. I saw her in the finale of Gossip Girl with your other step-sister and their bestfriend, they really made Gossip Girl end with a big boom. It was fantastic.
Megan: *looks at him*
Lucas: not helping?
Megan: not abit.
Lucas: *laughs* sorry sorry. *looks at his watch* I have to go now, but it was great seeing you today. It really was. *smiles and he stands up*
Megan: *stands up too* well, do you want my number?
Lucas: sure. I would love to have your number.
Megan: why do you have to make everything sound so britishy? *gives him her card*
Lucas: *laughs* I’m brit, I have to be cool. *smiles* I’ll see you later.
Megan: *smiles* alright, call me.
Lucas: I will. Good day Megan.
Megan: you too.
*with Edson*
Edson: baby, i feel like, we have this unspoken bond, and I just love how secure you are, but it hurts me that you question that I’m cheating on you, because, you’re the only girl for me. *smiles*
Anna: *smiles slightly* really?
Edson: really. *smiles and kisses her*
*from Troyal and Bjork's room, they put a webcam in Edson’s room*
Troyal: how many girls is that? In a month?
Bjork: let’s see, we have Trey, Anna, Michelle, Olivia, Daisy, Andrea, Rosie.. who am I missing?
Troyal: OO! And Lina! Don’t forget Lina. She was mm.
Bjork: oh my god, I can’t believe I forgot her. She was really fine.
Serena: *walks into the room* hey, I’m right here.
Bjork: *laughs* sorry baby, you know I love you. *kisses her*
Troyal: ok stop! It’s enough seeing Edson say the same thing to every girl he dates here and hearing them moan every single night. And now I have to watch you and Serena Waldorf sucking eachother’s faces off infront of our mission!
Serena: *giggles as they pull away* mission?
Bjork: *laughs* Brethren, explain.
Troyal: my pleasure. *goes up to the chalkboard and flips to the other side of it and a chart is drawn on there* you see my dear future-sister-in-law, this right here, is Edson Rafferty’s life.
Bjork: mmhmm, all the girls, all the sex, all the money, all the time he has wasted is on that chart.
Troyal: Blood, sweat and tears baby.
Troyal and Bjork say at the same time: Blood, sweat and tears.
Silver: *walks in* you guys are talking about the mission aren't you?
Bjork: mission double o 7 sis, i'm like friggin James Bond!
Troyal: James Bond with the tiniest groin in the history of mankind.
Bjork: HEY! I SO DO NOT HAVE A SMALL CROTCH!
Serena: well, it is kind of small. I've seen it before.
Silver: *laughs histerically* nice job sistor! *hi fives Serena*
Bjork: well have you seen Troyal's?
Troyal: HEY! *smacks Bjork at the back of his head*
Serena: *grossed out face* okay? I’m so glad I spent my college years away from you guys.
Bjork: hey! I paid for that, and look how smart and sexy you are now. You like a librarian. Rawr.
Serena: *laughs* Bjork! I’m gonna go to work now. I’ll see you guys later.
Silver: *hugs Troyal* i'll go send her.
Serena: let's go Sil.
Silver: *hugs Edson* i'll see you two morons later.
Bjork: have fun at the Modeling session Rena. *pecks her*
Serena: *smiles and reaches for her trench coat*
Bjork: *sees the scar on her hip and jumps up off the couch* lemme help you babe.
Serena: thanks baby. *pecks him and puts on her coat* I’ll see you guys later, play safe please.
Silver: *laughs at looks at Bjork*
Bjork: *mouths: watch her*
Silver: *Smiles and nods*
Troyal: alright! *laughs*
Serena and Silver: BYE! *leaves*
Bjork: *runs to the couch* popcorn! *grabs the bowl and watched Edson make out with the chick* oh wow, this chick is good, look at her grabbing techniques.
Troyal: *slaps the back of Bjork’s head*
Bjork: OW! Jeez, don’t take out the anger on me, you haven’t had sex in years, because you’re only waiting for your ‘one’ girl, Miss Fabergas. She’s famous now dude, she doesn’t need you, you should find someone else, like maybe Lina, she’d like that, she’s a ho.
Troyal: *sighs and sits down* I just, it doesn’t feel right.
Bjork: dude shut up, don’t ruin this for me, this is like quality porn.
Troyal: You douche, that’s your own brother.
Bjork: so? It’s a different girl.
Troyal: *rolls eyes and thinks about Jacy*
*flashbacks*
Jacy: since you’re moving to Italy, then I don’t think we should date anymore..
Troyal: what? Jacy, this is all wrong, I was thinking maybe we could have a plan, like a long distance relationship pla--
Jacy: YOU THINK THAT’LL WORK?!
Troyal: b-baby..
Jacy: *crying hard* NO TROYAL! You’ll never be here! like you weren’t here a few months ago! and I can’t bare that! So, I’m sorry. Goodbye.. *runs off*
*end of flashback*

Promise Me. Chapter 7 - Drowning alone.

Jacob’s POV.

This was Andy’s 8th drink of beer.
“Andy stop, you’re going to get yourself killed,” I told him, grabbing his arm.
He jerked his arm away and gulped down the rest of his beer. He lifted his hand up, showing his palm to the bartender, indicating he wants another drink.
“ANDY! STOP!” I yelled.
He turned to me, gave me a glare and went back to his own little hoodlum world.
“sorry sir, we can’t serve you anymore alcohol,” he told Andy.
Andy grabbed him by his shirt. “I’M A FCUKING CUSTOMER! YOU GIVE ME DRINKS. WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!” he shouted right in the bartender’s face.
The bartender fell back and brushed himself off. He then looked at Andy and nodded his head. I turned away for a second and saw Trevor making out with some girl. My jaw dropped a little. I stared at him in disgust. Andy started slurring as he got up. I turned back to Andy, catching him when he was about to fall.
“HEY YOU BITCH!” Andy shouted.
I couldn’t see who he was yelling at. He kept on tripping on his own feet. I didn’t want him to fall face down onto the ground.
“YOU ASS HOLE! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?! TO MY SISTER!” He stood up on his own.
He grabbed Trevor, dropping the bottle of beer, he was crying, he pushed his forehead onto Trevor’s.
“SHE TRUSTED YOU MAN! WORST OF ALL, I TRUSTED YOU! WE TRUSTED YOU! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?! HUH!?” he yelled and shouted at Trevor.
Trevor struggled under Andy’s grip, but Andy was stronger. Even if he was 10 times drunker than Trevor was. Andy couldn’t forget his sister, not Ashleey, not even a coma could make him forget.
“let go of me man!” Trevor yelled back.
“FUCK YOU! YOU’RE GOING TO HELL!” he yelled that out so loud, I felt the floors vibrate.
I grabbed Andy and placed both of my hands on his face, forcing him to face me.
“hey! Andy! Not here man! He's not worth it!”
Tears were rolling down his cheeks uncontrollably, he tried looking away.
“ANDY! Get yourself together!” I told him.
“but Trevor’s betraying Ashleey,” he pointed.
“Ashleey’s gone Andy.. she’s gone..”
He shook his head, “no! She’s here! She’s right beside me! She can’t be gone!” he cried even louder.
I pulled his head on my shoulder, hugging him tight.
“well, I didn’t know this was a gay bar,” chuckled Trevor.
I pulled away from Andy and pushed Trevor onto the floor. I punched him in the face, once, twice, thrice, till he starting yelling for help. I felt Andy and some guards trying to pull me off of the bastard. I continued punching him, until he was bleeding through his nose and mouth. I finally got pulled away. He stood up and looked at me in fear, I could see it in his eyes, he was scared of me. And I didn’t mind.
“I know Ashleey didn’t kill herself, and when the police finally find out who did kill her, and if they say it was you, you’re dead Trevor, I’ll kill you, I swear to god I will, I’LL KILL YOU!” I pointed my index finger at his nose. “that’s not a threat, a warning is what it is,”
They took my by the arm and led me and Andy out of the bar. Andy passed out, I pulled his arm and wrapped it around my shoulders and walked back home.

Courtney’s POV.

“Mike, I need to tell you something,”
“what is it Courtney?” he looked at me with those, grey eyes, it made me breathe even harder.
“I- i- hugged Jacob..” I still haven’t pulled away from his gaze.
“what? When?” he looked confused and sad at the same time, it was hard to tell.
“a few weeks ago, the night, Ashleey died,” tears started forming,
“but Ashleey, after the funeral, I told you to stay from him, you didn’t listen,”
“I know, I just, you know I can’t,”
“you could’ve at least tried! Courtney, did you kiss him?”
“no! I didn’t! I swear!”
“well, I specifically told you to stay away from that guy, and, you couldn’t even follow ONE simple rule, just one rule from me,”
“Mike—“
“no, Courtney, I think, I think I should go,”
“I’ll go with y—“ he cut me off.
“no, you stay here, don’t follow me, cause, I don’t want you to..”
He turned and walked away. Leaving me. I wiped my tears and ran back home. I barged into my room and I ran into the bathroom. I saw a perfectly shiny razor on top of the sink. I grabbed it, my fingers delicately lined the blades as I contemplated my decision. I had nothing anymore, no more Mike, no more Ashleey, no more Jacob. I practically betrayed Mike, betrayed him. I let the blades cut into my wrist, and got a towel to cover the gruesome sight. The blood began to show, red and unforgiving. I felt no pain, nothing. This felt better than anything Jacob or Mike has ever done to me. This is what I deserved. I felt dizzy, everything was blurry. I heard someone call out my name, but I wasn’t so sure, it sounded indecipherable. I saw the blood on the towel, it was almost seeping to the floor. I started shaking. I felt someone grab my untouched hand, holding it tight.
“Everything’s gonna be okay Courtney, just stay with me, don’t leave now, please,”
That was the last thing I heard before I faded away.

Promise Me. Chapter 6 - You make it hard for breathing.

Jacob’s POV.

I was driving back to the apartment when I thought, when you love someone, you should let them go. And that’s what I should do, she moved on, I should do the same. I stopped on the side of the road, I pressed the heals of my hands to my eyes. This is all too painful. I turned on the radio, hoping music would make the severe thoughts drain out of my head. Me and Courtney’s song started to play. I banged my forehead on the wheel. I didn’t want to but I sang-along to the words anyways.

Maybe it’s true, that I can’t live without you,
maybe two, is better than one,
but there’s so much time, to figure out the rest of my life,
and you already got me coming undone,
I’m thinking two, is better than one,

Who am I trying to kid? I love her, and that’s all I would ever feel like around her. I should go back to Boston, but I don’t want to leave Andy. My phone vibrated in my pocket, I took it out and saw Riley’s face on the screen. I answered.
“Hey Riles,”
“JAAAAKEE! We miss you man, when can we visit?”
“um, I don’t think soon, I’m going through some stuff right now,” I said.
“oh alright then man, take your time, call us, we’re here for you,”
“alright, I gotta go now, see ya,”
“love yah Jakey and Dave says hi bye,”
“love you guys too,” I laughed.
I hung up on them, then I called Courtney’s place, I got the voicemail,

“Hey! You’ve reached Jacob’s—“
“and Courtney’s, I live here also,”
“yeah yeah, future Mrs. Goldstein’s—“
“ugh! Jacob!”
“what? Don’t you wanna marry me?” he asked.
“we’ll talk about this later, so leave us a message! Cause we’re probably just..”
“having sex?” he added.
“yes!” she laughed.
“hot nasty sex, phwoar!” Jacob straddled Courtney and smirked. Courtney pulled Jacob in, then they both rolled off the bed laughing.
“leave a message!” she giggled.

I disconnected the call and threw it on the passenger’s seat. I continued to lean my forehead against the wheel and closed my eyes. How am I ever going to forget her.

Courtney’s POV.

It’s been weeks since Ashleey’s death, the police are still trying to figure out what caused it, whether it was a suicide or.. murder. They haven’t really brought anyone in for questioning yet, they said Trevor found the body but they haven’t found any evidence of him being there during the death. I don’t know, it’s just complicated. I put my hands deep into my pockets while I walked through the park with Mike. I didn’t feel like holding his hand. It just feels bad now that Jacob’s around.

Promise Me. Chapter 5 - 65 Letters.

Jacob’s POV.

I closed my eyes and stayed that way for awhile, I’m losing everybody I opened my heart to. Jason is gone, and now Ashleey’s gone. Courtney is all I have left; I can’t let her go now. Not now, not ever.

“maybe because you’re a jerk? A jerk I fell in love with?”

“Jacob! Not the tickle monster!”

“we’re True Love Always..”

“you changed my world, Jacob Goldstein, promise you won’t forget me..”

“I said I like you, Jake, and not because of what you do, or what you wear, because of what you are,”

“I’ll wait for you..”

“You’re the guy for me, Jake,”

“You promise?”

I put both of my hands on either side of my head; too many flashbacks were filling my mind. Her smile, her giggle, her eyes, I knew if I opened my mouth even the tiniest crack I would start screaming, I would start screaming and I would never be able to stop. I ran my hand through my hair and kept looking down. I needed to go see Courtney. I grabbed my keys and ran out the door.

Courtney’s POV.

I never sent these letters because, I was scared. I wasn’t scared he wouldn’t feel the same way, I was scared of opening myself up for him. He sent me one letter, but I never read it. I found his letter in the box; I opened it up and read it over and over again.

Dear Courtney,
I know it’s been months, and I haven’t written, but just know I am still thinking about you. I never did stop. I love you Courtney. I just needed you to know that. This letter might’ve taken weeks to get to you. It’s worth it. I want you to try and wait for me, but if you can’t, I understand.

P.S. True Love Always, remember?
love,
Jacob.

There were wet spots on the letter and I realized they were my tears. I heard the door creak open, I knew it was Mike, so I didn’t bother turning around. I grabbed all the letters and shoved them back into my closet. I stood up, turned around and saw Jacob standing in front of me. He looked so vulnerable.
“hey Court,” he said, breaking the silence.
I just looked at him. Say something, idiot.
“h-hi..” I stuttered.
“I was just, I came to see you,”
“well, you’re here, what do you need?” I said slowly.
“nothing, I just, wanted, to see you,” he squinted his eyes.
“okay,” I said and I turned around.
I felt his arms around my body, it felt so warm and I missed it so much. He leaned his chin on my shoulder.
“it’s gonna be okay,” he whispered.
I nodded, tears starting to fill my eyes again. “I just, can’t believe it’s happening,”
He turned me around then gently held my face, “Courtney, everything’s gonna be fine, okay? listen to me, time heals everything, all we need is time,”
I hugged him, holding him tight. I pulled away and looked him in the eye.
"I, I need wait for Mike now, you better leave before he comes back,” I said, turning away.
“yeah, I kinda need to go to, I need to, help Andy sort out Ashleey’s stuff,” he replied,
“it was nice seeing you Courtney,”
No, please don’t go, stay with me, I need you.
“okay,” my eyes were wet.
“okay,” he repeated before he walked out the door.
What’s wrong with me? I love Jacob, he needs to know I still love him.
“wait,” I whispered in a voice so weak it had no chance of getting heard. It was too late, Jacob was already gone, and so was a part of me.

Promise Me. Chapter 4 - Save You.

Jacob’s POV.

I stood there next to Andy with my hand on his shoulder. Trevor, James, Massie, Kim and Nolan were there next to us. Everyone was close in this part of Seattle, anyone were rarely enemies. Also Matthew, Derrick, Stephanie and some other classmates were there. Grief was all in the air. The priest was talking but there were only a few who were able to listen to him. The others were too lost. The funeral ended eventually. Most of the people left. The only ones who stayed were Andy, Me, Trevor and Massie. I wonder where Courtney was, she’s supposed to be here, with Mike.

Courtney’s POV.

I watched as people walked away from Ashleey’s grave. I needed to go see her.
“babe, Come on, let’s go pay our respects,” Mike said.
I nodded my head, looked down and walked towards them. When Mike and I reached there, Jacob looked away like he was trying to avoid me. I couldn’t care for Jacob now; it’s Ashleey I should be thinking of. And when that thought came to my mind, tears started filling my eyes. Jacob and Andy were pale, Jacob’s eyes were red. He just looked on the ground. He knew Ashleey his whole life. She was one of his best friends. She was the one who has always understood him without need of words. She was always there for him, the beautiful, selfless, big-hearted, Ashleey Overstreet. And now she was gone. He was crushed. Nolan hugged Massie. She was crying like a baby. Ashleey died long before her time. She did not deserve this. She deserved to be with her friends, meet the love of her life, get married, have kids and be the happiest person in the world. And now, she was dead. And I just couldn’t believe that she was, I loved her with my whole heart. She sacrificed her happiness for mine, she was the one who comforted me when Jake left, the only one who I let in deep. My tears were still falling and I took Mike’s hand.

Jacob’s POV.

Courtney finally cracked, she was crying uncontrollably, just like when I left her. I wanted to be the one to hold her. Andy knelt to the ground, putting his hand on Ashleey’s stone.
“I’m so sorry Ashleey, I’m so so sorry, this is all my fault, I should’ve been with you, saving you like I promised,” he continued to cry.
I knelt down next to Andy and rubbed his back, “Let it out, man,”
He leaned his head on her gravestone, just breaking down.

Courtney’s POV.

Hours had passed since the funeral. It was night already. I wanted to be alone, so after the funeral, Mike followed Matt and the others home. After we left the graveyard, I just drove around without direction. I drove for hours. I was finally home now. The moment I got into the house, so many memories filled my mind. Suddenly, I went into the closet and took the box with my letters. I started reading them one by one. 65 letters I wrote, explaining the way I felt about him, the love I had for him, to Jacob. I just closed my eyes and stayed like that for a few moments. I heard a knock on the door and went to open it. Mike was standing there. He looked more like a ghost than like himself.
“Mike, I need to be alone.. please..” I said.
“I know, I just, wanted to tell you that, I love you,” he said softly.
I nodded and hugged him. Mike went home. I was alone in my room. I love Mike. I love him more than words could explain, but I knew that I was also in love with someone else. A single tear fell from my eye.

Promise Me. Chapter 3 - Starts With a Goodbye.

Jacob's POV.

My eyes kept on watering, after every minute I’d have to wipe my eyes with the back of my hand. How could she do this to me? The Seattle Airport was packed with people, I tried making my way through the crowd, till I bumped into someone and fell on top of her.
“Whoa! Hey I’m so—Ashleey?”
“Jacob?!” she squealed,
“Hey!” I replied,
“Wow! You’re here!” and she sat up a bit and gave me a warm hug.
I hugged her back, taking in her sweet smelling scent. Then we both stood up.
“Oh my god, how have you been? It’s been, a while,” she asked.
“I’ve been doing good,” I laughed, “you?”
“ah, typical days,” she smiled, “so, are you going to see Courtney?”
“uh, I’m kinda leaving now,”
“but you just got here,” she pointed.
“I saw her with Mike..” I said, squinting my eyes.
“oh, wow, Jake, I’m sorry, that really sucks, you and Courtney were like, the cutest couple in Seattle,” she said. She was trying to comfort me.
I gave out a stifled chuckle. I don’t know whether to laugh or burst out in tears.
“well, you can’t leave, I mean, you can’t go back to the army,”
“I’m not in the army anymore, I live in Boston,” I explained,
“I should’ve just stayed there,”
“aww, don’t say that.” She punched my arm playfully.
I laughed and looked at her, I never realized how beautiful she was. Maybe it’s just me.
“so what are you doing here? are you going somewhere?” I asked.
“no, no, my boyfriend, Trevor, works here, I just came over to visit,” I knew it, she wasn’t available.
“well, it’s nice seeing you Ash, but I think I’m gonna go now,” I said.
I grabbed my bags and was about to walk away, then she grabbed me by my wrist.
“Jacob. Why don’t you live with me? and Andy? He’d be thrilled to see you again.” She continued, “please Jake, you don’t have to leave again, a lot of us miss you,” she frowned.
I looked into her eyes, they were green and, so somber. I just smiled and I started to nod.
“alright, I’ll live with you guys,”
She squealed and jumped on me and hugged me tight. I held her too, dropping my bags back onto the ground. Her legs were wrapped around my waist. I closed my eyes, smiling, and continued to hold her.

Courtney’s POV.

I opened my eyes to feel an embrace around my body. I turned around and saw Mike, the moonlight made his face illuminate. It made him even more beautiful. I put my hand up to cheek and rubbed his lip with my thumb. He opened one of his eyelids and looked at me.
“what are you doing?” he smiled.
“looking at you.” I said.
He was half-asleep but still gave me a peck.
“now go back to sleep Courtney,” he said.
I rolled my eyes playfully and turned back around so he can continue holding me. He leaned on the side of my head and wrapped his arm back around me. We intertwined our fingers together. He played with my fingertips for awhile till both of us drifted to sleep.

Jacob’s POV.

I sat on the couch with a mug of coffee in my hands, thinking of Courtney. Today is our supposed-to-be 5th anniversary.
“Hello? Is there anyone alive in there?” came the voice of my best friend, Andy.
“No,” I replied, letting out a quick chuckle at my own joke and then resumed my reminiscing.
The world still seemed dead to me. When I finally pulled myself out of this trance, I realized that my coffee was stone cold. The phone rang; I went into the kitchen and picked it up.
“Hello?”
“Jacob, i-is that you?” A voice spoke on the other line.
“Mike?” I said quite harshly.
“Y-yeah, hey man, w-what’s up?” he stammered to say.
“Just stuff, so what do you want man?” I spat.
“I need to talk to Andy, it’s, bad news.” He sounded hurt, like he got stabbed in the throat,
“what is it?” I asked.
“it’s Ashleey, Jacob..” he said.
“what about Ashleey? I just saw her left the apartment a few hours ago, she needed to see her boyfriend. What’s wrong with her?”
Andy walked into the kitchen when he heard me speak Ashleey’s name. He looked at me as my face scrunched up, I kept shaking my head. The grip I had against my coffee mug loosened, I dropped it and the sound of the mug breaking was faint, like I couldn’t hear anything else other than Mike’s voice. I covered my mouth with my right hand. I fell to the ground, I can’t believe the words I’m hearing.
“dude, what’s up?” Andy ran to my side.
I looked up at him, I didn’t want to be the one to tell him. I didn’t want to be the one to hurt him.
“M-mike, tell Andy what happened,” I was still looking at Andy as I handed the phone to him.He grabbed the phone and put it next to his ear. He also dropped to the ground onto his knees.
“no Mike, this has to be a mistake, she was just here hours ago, she’s still here, she’s still living,” Andy cried, shaking his head.
“I’m sorry man..” I heard Mike’s voice through the phone.
Andy chucked the phone into the wall and started crying on the ground, banging his fists in the floor. He cried Ashleey’s name a couple of times. I was friends with this kid since forever, we were the best pals since pre k, and I have never seen him break down like this. I just sat there frozen, Ashleey was also a best friend since pre k, I fell for her once, but it didn’t work out, we still were close after the break up. Ashleey was really close to Courtney too. I can’t imagine how devastated Courtney would be now.
I looked at Andy again, I know how he felt. Ashleey was dead, the only family he had left. I started to think about my brother, when my dad told me, that Jason passed, that moment, all I could feel was pain, grief, sorrow, emptiness, anger, despair. Everything around me was just, black and cold. I understood what Andy was feeling.

Courtney’s POV.

They were standing in the graveyard. There were lots of people, friends, colleagues, fans. Of course, Andy was the closest one to the coffin. Next to him was Jacob, wait, Jacob?

Promise Me. Chapter 2 - Home.

Jacob’s POV.

It’s almost been a month now since I’ve seen Courtney. I’m aching for her touch. I’m literally falling apart without her around. I can’t sleep, I can’t eat.

Courtney’s POV.

I sit on the stairs in front of the house every night, just hoping Jacob would come home. Hoping I would wrap my arms around his body and kiss the kiss out of him very soon. I would wait every single night, sometimes I’ll wait till the sun would rise. I watch as the beautiful streaks of orange, red and yellow paint the horizon. Minutes turn into hours, hours into days, days into months, and not a while longer, years.
It’s been five years now. I don’t think I should wait for him any longer. It just seems like, a waste of my time.

Jacob’s POV.

White light bounced across the walls to brighten the slightly bigger than double bedroom; illuminating the clothes strewn across the floor and the books squashed beside the bed. The distinguishable sounds of the Boston streets were faint only to be interrupted by the definitive beeping of my bedside alarm. I stumbled out of bed, upon the wall hung that large white calendar. On that day's date in particular there was a large message written in bright red marker;

Home.

I buried my face in my hands for awhile. I looked up and saw a note on my suitcase, which I neatly packed last night. I grabbed it.

We’ll miss you Jake. Just give us a call when you want us to visit, we can’t wait to see Courtney too. Riley and I would always be your best guys.
Love, Dave & Riles.

I smiled at the small piece of white paper and thought ‘I can’t wait to see Courtney either’.

Courtney’s POV.

Mike slowly leaned in and placed his lips against mine. It was weird I didn’t stop him, it was weird I kind of enjoyed it. I cupped his face and kissed him back. His hands ran up my stomach. I slowly closed my eyes as I breathed in deeply, and I suddenly thought, Jacob, I quickly opened my eyes and pushed Mike away, causing him to fall off the bed.
“Oh my god,” I said covering my mouth with both hands.
“I’m sorry, I just, I can’t,” I continued.
I grabbed my jacket and fast-walked towards the door.
Mike grabbed my arm. “Court,”
I jerked my arm away and walked out the door. Mike chased after me.
“Court, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to kiss you,” he explained.
I turned around and I looked at him sternly, “you didn’t mean to? Or you wanted to?”
He stood there in silence.
“That’s what I thought,” I spat. I ran down the stairs, out the door and finally got into my car.
“Court!” he ran towards the car. “Courtney, open the door, let me explain,”
I quickly turned on the engine and drove off. I can’t believe this, I kissed Mike, My best friend, more worse, Jacob’s friend.

The day turned into night, I sat outside on the porch, as usual, under a blanket, looking up into the sky, where beautiful stars were aligned. I remember the first date me and Jacob ever had.

“hey,” greeted Jacob, walking towards her.
“hey,” said Courtney, warmly.
“I wrote you a song, right after I met you yesterday,” he said.
“Jake, you—“
Jacob sat down next to her and started strumming.
“Her name is Courtney Shay, She has dark, brown hair, that is usually pulled into a ponytail, draped over her shoulder, I’ve been enjoying every day, of my life cause now she’s here to stay, I think, I’m in love, I could stare into those blue-green eyes forever.”
He continued singing and strumming, Courtney smiled at him, she knew at that moment; Jacob was the guy for her. They belonged together. She fell for him, hard and fast.

I just loved how straight forward he was. When something popped into that obnoxious head of his, he would just say it. Sigh. I know I’m in love with Jacob, but, Mike has been there for me through whatever. I’m just so confused.
I saw Mike’s car pull over in front of my house. He got out and walked towards me. He then sat next to me.
“can I please explain things?” he asked, breaking the silence.
“what is there to explain Mike?” I replied, not looking at him.
He gently took my hand and put it on his chest. “can you feel it?”
I looked at my hand, and I shook my head.
“My heart skips beats just because I’m here, with you, I’m falling for you Courtney,” He tried to make me look at him,
“Courtney, please,”
I finally looked at him, and I slowly leaned forward, till I felt his cold lips against mine. I pulled away, I smiled. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
I just giggled and said “I’ll give you that chance, because I think I’m falling for you too,”
He smiled wide, “thank you Courtney, I don’t know what I’d do without you,” he continued.
I laughed and kissed him a second time.

Jacob’s POV.

I stood there, at the end of our driveway, watching Mike and Courtney push their tongues down in each others’ throats. My whole world fell apart, everything was a big blur. My heart broke into a million pieces. My first intention was to grab Mike and tell him he’s not worthy, but that’s just makes me unworthy. So I turned around and slowly walked back into the cab. I told the driver to drive back to the airport. I’m going back to Boston.

Promise Me. Chapter 1 - Painted Butterflies.

Jake’s POV.

I placed my hands on her waist, I was slowly pulling her closer. She had these, deep blue-green eyes. They were so hypnotizing, so unreadable. I leaned forward, and my lips crashed onto hers. Both of her hands ran through my hair. I moved my hands onto her cheeks, I didn’t want to let go, I wanted to have her forever. We slowly pulled away and I hugged her, taking in her scent. Her beauty never seemed to cease me. She let out a short breath, and she said she loved me. I pulled away and looked at her, the pain in her heart, reflected through her voice. It was heart breaking; I didn’t want to leave her. Tears were stinging my eyes. I whispered I loved her too, my voice was breaking, just as much as my heart was. I held her hand and brought it to my lips, I softly kissed it. I let go of her hand for one second and pulled my brother’s old ring off my pinky. He gave it to me before he went off to join the army. I was in the same exact position as Courtney is now. I gently took her hand again and put the ring onto her marriage finger on her right hand. I looked at her for one last time till it was time for me to get on the bus. I let go of her hand and got on. She waved, and I waved back, I was in love with her, madly, truly, deeply, in love with her.

Courtney’s POV.

I watched as the green bus, filled with other army recruits, drive away into a distance. It was getting cold, this is what I hated about Seattle, it’s always raining around the year, but I pretended to bare with it because Jake was the one who wanted to move here. It then started to pour with rain, storm clouds blotted the sky, it was getting dark. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t breathe, I just lost him, the guy that I had given everything to. I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream, but I didn’t. I shook my head and ran into the house. I took off my coat and walked upstairs. I slowly opened our bedroom door, and I sunk into the covers. I clutched the fabric of the pillow, his pillow, and breathed in the scent he had left, the heavy, misty scent that I always loved. I just can’t get him out of my head. Jacob, Jacob, Jacob, Jacob. I turned to the wall; I saw our painted butterflies.

“Can I paint some cars? And jets? In various colors?” said Jacob, pulling Courtney in by her waist.
“Jacob!” she laughed.
“Oh fine, what do you want then?” he said smiling.
“I want butterflies.” She pouted.
“Butterflies it is!” he yelled, holding the paint brush in the air, he said it sort of like a superhero would.
Courtney laughed and giggled.
“why are you laughing Miss Shay?” He said coming closer. “am I being funny?”
“oh no, you are just being really serious now.” She giggled.
“I think you need to be punished for laughing at me for no particular reason.” He smirked.
“punished ey?” asked Courtney.
“punished! Severely! By the..” he trailed off.
Courtney lifted an eyebrow.
“THE TICKLE MONSTER!” he yelled running towards her.
“no! not the tickle monster!” Courtney yelled laughing, running away.
Jacob dropped his brush and chased Courtney around the room. He finally caught Courtney and they both fell back on the bed.
Jacob smiled and leaned in. Courtney kissed back, clutching the back of his neck with both of her hands. They pulled away, their lips brushing against eachother, causing Courtney's body to have a tingling sensation.
“TICKLE MONSTER!” said Jacob, as he started tickling Courtney by surprise.
Courtney just laughed uncontrollably.
“okay, I think you’ve been punished enough,” he laughed.
Jacob planted another kiss on her lips. She smiled through the kiss, enjoying every second of it.

I sighed, knowing he won’t be here to push his hard but soft lips against mine for who knows how long. I wiped my tears with the back of my hand, and I continued to think about him, my beautiful, handsome, Jacob.
