Chaos - II
………………………………
🤍🖤💜 Jacob 💜🖤🤍
………….……………………
As I punch his stupid face and papers slip out of his hand, I realized what exactly he was trying to hand me.
His friend rushes behind him to help him out. He snaps. “Natalie’s naked posters are spread all over the class! He collected them to save her fucking dignity. Although I doubt if she has any!”
“Probably some more are thrown in different classes.” He has the decency to warn me, anyway.
I force myself out of my frozen state and pick up the papers. Someone printed these pictures. Poor quality, but it’s clear it’s her... with West. With the title: ‘Jacob is clearly the old news now’
I try not to think and I try hard.
Her bare skin is showing. West is hugging her from behind. His arms crossed over her breast.
I pick it up quickly and push through the crowd of students forming around me.
‘Probably some more are spread in different classes.’
His words knocked me again.
I need to check if there are more.
I rush to the next classroom to see if I can find any. Before I can even reach there, I see a group of juniors holding similar papers. My stomach twists.
“Give those to me,” I bark at them.
They oblige. Some laugh, some whisper. Their laughter feels like hot glass in my ears.
I try not to think when I see a poster where West is nibbling her neck, and she is laughing. I can almost hear how happy she is.
How long she has been sleeping with him?
I rush to each room on my way as I walk towards the admin office with a pile of papers in my hand.
Whoever did this threw five to ten posters in some of the classes randomly.
I never felt this alone in my life when I walk into each class dreading how many posters I need to gather.
I feel tired and heartbroken.
“Jacob! “ I hear June call out to me as I skim her class and am about to turn back.
She rushes to me and asks, “What are you doing?”
She sees the posters in my hands and I see the fury in her eyes.
“I am checking all the classrooms. Somebody threw these randomly in so many classes.” I choke out.
I don’t have to collect these. Honestly, I don’t. It seems unfair to her. Even when she wasn’t fair to me.
“I will collect these. You go report it to the Principal.”
I feel a tiny fraction of relief. I don’t have to do the dirty deed anymore.
I walk towards the admin office to report the incident. These posters in my hands feel as heavy as a rock. Pressing on my chest.
I know I shouldn’t, but I peek a glance at the paper in my hands one more time. He is kissing her.
Why?
Why??
Why the act?
My mind is reeling with all the memories of time I spend with her and questioning myself how much of it was the truth.
Was there any truth or connection at all?
Was it all one-sided?
I am hurting so much I want her to know and I want her to hurt her back.
…..
Her silence annoys me.
Don’t cheat on my back and be quiet!
“Answer me!” I snap at her.
“There is nothing to say Jacob...“ She says. “I am indeed a whore like everyone says. I’m sorry you ended up with one."
