Tangled Love

Jake's POV -

"What do you mean, she's gone?" I croak out, my head spinning from the pain I'm feeling right now. I reach over, grabbing the painkillers and throw them to the back of my throat, swallowing them dry.

"Where has she gone?" I ask Tobias who's now looking down at the floor, his hands at his sides. A bad feeling settles in my stomach and I sit up straighter, groaning from the effort.

"Tobias?" I ask quietly, my lungs tightening.

Why isn't he answering me?

"Tobias!" I yell, causing him to flinch. He looks up, his eyes large and full of regret.

"She's gone, she's left you." Tobias says quietly, his voice timid.

"What the hell do you mean, she's left me?" I say, my voice rising. I swing back the covers and attempt to get out of bed. My legs immediately give in, unable to support my weight and I fall to the floor, my teeth gritted tightly together from the pain.

"Jake, you need to rest."
