warnings: language

– MC! Please open the door.

Lilly's pleading tone came from outside the door as I tried to get my breathing back to normal. No. It was impossible.

What the fuck happened?

My hands were shaking and my eyes filled with tears. I didn't know if I was dreaming again, and I made a fool of myself this time in front of everyone. I tangled my fingers in my hair, pulling it hard, trying to understand if the person I saw was just an illusion or not.

– I swear I'm gonna break down that door!

I took a few deep breaths, then unlocked the door and let the blonde in. I looked at her face and what I saw in her eyes was enough. It was enough for me to guess.

– Did you know?

Lilly swallowed, then looked down. Her hands were restless, she couldn't find the right place for them. She didn't have to answer, her body language betrayed her completely.I could not believe that.

– Did you know about it from the beginning? And yet, when I didn't believe it, you made me feel like a fucking insane?!

– It's not like that, MC. – she mumbled – It's… Jake. Jake told me to arrange his funeral and never tell you the truth.

It was another blow that made it harder and harder for me to breathe.

– You saw the condition I was in. – I started, trying not to let a single tear fall from my eye. – That every fucking day I blamed myself for his death!

She finally looked at me and I saw tears streaming down her cheeks. Her face was red from the shaking spasms of tears.

– Oh right. You couldn't know because you haven't spoken to me once since the funeral. – I added coldly, walking past her to leave the room. Looking at her was making me sick.

– Jake said it would be best for you.

I froze in the doorway hearing Lilly's sentence. The remnants of grief evaporated in a flash, leaving only anger. Stormy, burning anger. Without turning to face Lilly, I headed downstairs toward the front door. I was driven by pure rage at Jake. I wanted to hear why? Why the fuck did he do that and leave me for two years without any explanation?

There was a funeral atmosphere on the ground floor. Dan sipped whiskey, Cleo with Hannah and Jessy sat quietly on the sofa without exchanging a word, while Thomas paced around the living room, unable to find a place. Had he found out the truth? Or does he worry because he still thinks the hacker is his fiancée's lover?

As I ran down the stairs, all eyes turned to me. I clenched my jaw tight and asked.

– Where is he?

– He left. – Dan said sourly, then, looking at my condition, added – Don't do anything stupid.

I raised an eyebrow but didn't comment on his words. I was in such a state that if someone gave me a gun, I wouldn't be sure I wouldn't use it. I ran out of the house and onto the sidewalk, looking for a tall figure I hadn't seen anywhere. Disappointment rushed through my body, and undying anger caused me to kick hard at a rock that rolled into the street.

– MC?

I froze, feeling my pulse quicken and my heart almost leap out of my chest. I forced myself to look where the voice was coming from. I saw a hacker sitting nonchalantly on a black motorcycle. It was hard to see him because it was already late evening, but I could feel the intensity of his gaze even from this distance.

– You were waiting for me. – I said dryly and he nodded. There was a tense silence during which neither of us knew what to say. – After all this, all you have to say to me is "Hello MC"?

Jake scratched the back of his neck, apparently wondering what the most appropriate answer would be. You can see that his social skills haven't improved an inch in those two years.

– This is not the place for this conversation. I have a rented hotel room. We can go there. – he said carefully, and I tried not to let the hoarseness in his voice affect my thinking.

Alone with the person I hated at that moment? This couldn't end well. I didn't want to go anywhere with this liar.

– I can't. I should go back. – I spat out in a slight panic as I headed home

– If you still have a shred of trust for me, come with me. – he said softly, as if imploringly – Please.

I bit my lip as I fought my thoughts. My common sense was telling me to run as far away as possible and that our conversation would not bring anything good to my life. But the heart... The heart wants what it wants and I couldn't help but feel the wind in my hair when I sat on the motorbike, hearing the roar of the engine, tightening my fingers on the hacker's stomach.

For the first time in a long time, as he sped through the streets of Duskwood, disregarding all the rules, I felt free and so alive.

MC: I throw sarcastic phrases because if I throw knives I'll go to jail.

this is exactly how i imagine jake but with blue eyes
