Drake but my heart melts at his kindness. “I don’t hate Drake. We came to an understanding and got everything on the table. He’s also with Charlotte.” The tightness of Jake’s face turns to one of realization that there is nothing going on between Drake and I. Like I need another guy in my life right now to cause more chaos.
    I climb off of Drake’s lap and he gets up to follow me. “Are you okay?” I nod, knowing he is going to leave me to do this on my own. “I’ll be right outside if you need me, Becca.” He gives me a hug and a kiss on the top of my head, just like Alec would. Once he walks out, I turn to Jake and he’s almost angry looking. “So I must have missed something. Since when would you let Drake do that? You sure he’s with Charlotte?” I figure out why Jake’s angry and it surprises me. “What? Jake, are you jealous? There is nothing going on with Drake, God! The only reason we are this way is because of his sister and what you told him about me. He thought with everything going on that I may need a friend.” Jake’s eyes narrow on me again and I step back. It felt like he had pushed me with his eyes. “You are with Keegan anyways.”
    I look to the floor because I didn’t want to have this conversation. “No, I’m not, actually.” Peeking up, I see that Jake’s hand is outstretched to me and I grab it. “What happened, Becca?” Taking a deep breath before continuing, I’m hoping my voice doesn’t fail me now. “After the accident, you were unconscious, but so was Keegan. When he woke up… he didn’t remember the last year and a half or… me. Last he remembers, he was with Sarah. So that’s who he is with now.” I feel Jake push my hand away and I feel like I’ve been slapped. “That’s why you are not together then, right?” I’m in the bed with him before he can even process what I’ve done. “God, Jake, No. Don’t you see, Jake? It’s you. When everything went bad, I ran to you. Doesn’t that show anything?” He tries to push me away and I let him.
    “You’re here with me because he doesn’t remember you. If he did, you’d be with him right now and I’d be in here alone.” I turn and put my fist into the wall that is now in front of me. I hear Jake gasp and I’ve even shocked myself at my action. Drake comes rushing in the room and turns to try and understand what’s going on. “Get her out of here, Drake. She’s only here because Key doesn’t remember her.” At this, I walk over to the door, but Drake grabs me before I make it out. “Jake, you are wrong, man. It’s you. It always was you. Take it from me. I watched it happened. You two dumbasses may not have seen it but I did. Even Alec and Charlotte did. Stop the bullshit, Jake! This girl hasn’t slept in her own bed since the accident.” I see Jake’s eyes dart to mine with a confused look. “He’s right, Jake. It’s you. I just…” I can’t find my words and I just stop talking.
    “Jake, you ’re going to listen to what Becca has to say and you’re going to believe her. This girl loves you, man, and more than she should with all the dumb shit you’ve done.” Drake turns and walks out, giving us privacy again. “If you had to choose between him and myself before all this shit changed and all this craziness happened, who would it have been?” Jake is looking at me and I wish I had some answers for him. “I can only tell you what I was coming home to tell you, but things have changed, Jake. I can’t give up on Keegan either. I love him, but… I love you more. You’re the reason I ran. When I saw you with Kristy, I couldn’t deal with it. I’d just done what I had with Keegan and I just… It was wrong. It shouldn’t have been Keegan, but we had all this history with Dillon and you kept telling me you weren’t in love with me. You kept pushing me to Keegan. I know you are not in love with me, Jake, but… Well, I am undoubtedly in love with you.”
