Chapter 8 - Chapter Six.

"Jane! Jake's Here!" Mom yelled up the stairs to me, Already?! I thought as I Got out of bed,

I Opened my bedroom door only to see Daniel standing there, His eyes were wide

With Excitement, "Jake's Here!?" Daniel whispered Quietly, I nodded with a Quiet Giggle, With that Me and Daniel went downstairs, Standing by the front door was

Jake, he had short dark green hair and dark blue eyes, he stood about Six-Foot-Two, He had a muscle Build, He wore a Faded dark blue T-shirt and dark blue Jeans, He had

Dark skin, he Is around the same age as me

I Squealed as I Rushed Into His arms, He chuckled as he Squeezed me tight before

Letting go, His eyes told me that he's

Amused, "Why are You so Excited to see me? We Just saw Each Other" he said, "What, I Can't Be happy to see my boyfriend?" I asked with a pout before he kissed It away, "Of course You can" He told me, "Hey, Jake!" Daniel said as he gently grabbed me by my waist to move me out

Of the way, Jake Grinned as he and Daniel

Man hugged, "It's Good to see You!" Jake said as he and Daniel let go of each other,

"Good to see You to!" Daniel replied, Jake Lightly Punched Daniel In the right shoulder as he said, "You Jerk! Why did You not let me know that You were back?!" I see Daniel Winced slightly, "Sorry, Man....I wanted to keep It....Quiet Temporarily" he told Jake,

"I Understand" Jake said with an Understanding smile, You see....Jake was

Also In the Military once, It was shortly before

Daniel Joined, Jake had also wanted to keep

It Quiet Temporarily, But he still told me!

I giggled slightly as I Recalled how smug I

Felt at the time, "What's so funny, Giggles?"

"nothing, nothing" I say, Jake looked at me

With a Knowing look before turning back to

Daniel, I knew that he knew what I was Thinking about, I shook my head as Mom came toward the front door, "Dinner Is done"

Daniel Nodded as Did I, "would You Like to stay for Dinner?" Mom asked Jake, "Sure!" Jake said with a Grin, I giggled slightly as

We made Our way toward the Kitchen, Jake

Wrapped one arm around My Waist Which

Daniel seen, If His Grin was Anything to go

By, "I'm glad that you two are together "

I beamed At Daniel, I tried not to let It Show

On my face, But His Approval of my and

Jake's Relationship Meant everything to me,

"I am to" Jake told Daniel, "I'm glad to!"

I Decided to sit on Jake's lap as he sat down

In a chair at the Kitchen Table, I ignored my

Dad's Glare, "Sweetheart? Can You Please

Sit on a chair?" Mom asked me, "Bu-" I cut

Myself off at My Mom's Raised eyebrow,

"Fine" I Mumbled with a Pout, I Could tell

Without turning to look at Jake that He had

Been amused, "Shut Up" I told Jake with a Pout, I Began to eat The Cheese Burger and salad placed In front of me, I see Jake and

Daniel frowned at that, "What?" I asked,

"Since when do You Eat Salad?" Daniel asked, "Since...Just now" I say as I focused on eating, I pretended not to notice Jake and

Daniel Share Concerned Glances, Before

Daniel returned Home, I Had Changed Into

A Beautiful Light Green Dress, which I still Had on at the dinner Table, I looked at myself

In my bedroom Mirror, The dress was Cute....But It made me Feel Self-conscious

Because....It made me Realize Just How Fat

I was, I was Just Finishing Curling my hair

When Mom stopped In the doorway of my

Room, she frowned In disapproval, "Don't.....You have Other dresses to wear?"

I frowned at that as I asked, "What's wrong with this one?" I see Her look down to my

Stomach which made me feel even more Self-conscious, "Darling.... I'm surprised that Jake is still with You...." Mom said as she Looked me back In the eyes, "W-What?"

My voice showed a hint of hurt, "Men typically Do not like women....who are Chubby....Maybe for dinner tonight.... You'd like a salad?" She asked me, I Wordlessly

Nodded my Consent as I did Not trust myself

To speak, Mom nodded before She Exited

My room, Daniel broke me out of my thoughts, "Jane, Are You Okay?" He asked,

"I-" I cleared my Throat before Replying,

"I am...." Daniel and Jake still looked at me In

Concern before focusing on their own Plate

That was In front of them, I see that Dad was

Also Looking at me In Concern....Did Mom

Not tell him what she told me? I wondered,

I shook my head as I Continued Eating,

After Wrapping Up dinner, I Walked Upstairs

To go back Into my bedroom to change,

I slipped off the Light Green Dress, Just Leaving Me In my dark blue Bra and My

Bright Pink Panties, I Quickly changed Into

A dark blue T-shirt and Ripped blue Jeans,

I went to Open my bedroom door to go back

Downstairs, But Jake and Daniel were already right there, "I was Planning On Going back downstairs" I say as I cocked my head

To the side, "we know that You probably were....but me and Jake wanted to make

Sure that You were okay" Daniel told me, "I said I-" Jake cut me off....First time that Happened, "We know that You said that You were....But we know when You're not telling

The Truth...." Jake told me, a Sigh escaped

My Lips, "Okay...." I said as I Backed Up toward my bed, Once I Sat down On It, Jake

And Daniel Joined me, "This Happened before you got home today, Daniel.....I was

Just Putting that Light Green Dress for our date that we had today Jake....But It made me feel Self-conscious Because It made me realize Just how fat I-" I trailed off to raise my

Right hand to prevent Jake or Daniel from

Saying anything, "And then Mom stopped

Inside the doorway to my Room, she told me that she was surprised that Jake was still with

Me and that Men Typically Don't Like Chubby women, She was the one who Suggested

That I Eat the salad" I say, "What!?" Jake and Daniel shouted at the same time, "Baby, You didn't believe her did you?" Jake asked me softly, I Bit my Bottom Lip before shaking my

Head, "Good, Because Baby....I Would never break Up with You Just for being a little Chubby" Jake told me as he gently pressed

His Lips to mine In a soft, Passionate kiss,

"I.... Can't believe that she'd say that to You!"

I pulled away as I Said, "It's Okay, Daniel"

Daniel Grumbled Under his Breath, I Giggled

Slightly, "So...Do You want to talk about the

Nightmare you had earlier tonight?" I asked softly, Daniel Paled, "N-No! Not....right now"

"Okay, Okay" I say, We spent most of the

Night talking until it...was about Eleven O Clock, "Damn, It's almost Midnight"

I giggled, "I can't believe that We've talked

This Long" Daniel said with a chuckle,

"I should get Home" Jake said as he attempted to sit up before I Pulled him back down, "No! Your staying the night and Cuddling me!" I say, "Baby" Jake chuckled,

"would You tell if Jake stayed the Night and

Cuddled me?" I asked Daniel, "No" I grinned,

"See!" I told Jake, "You win, You win" Jake said, I cuddled into Jake as he wrapped his

Arms around my back, "Goodnight, You two"

"Goodnight, Daniel" Jake said, "Goodnight, Bro" I say as My eyes felt Heavier, soon

Enough, Darkness Consumed me.
