Jacob was hit right in the face by Emily and he was taken aback for a second. Instead of leting her go, he just held her tighter.
"Put your hands away from me!" Emily yelled angrily, but Jacob wasn't listening. While she was yelling and throwing punches, he kept his position, still, with eyes staring at her.
She hit his wound and Jacob screamed with pain. Emily took this chance to get away from his grip and ran away as fast as she could.
"E..." Jacob tried to call her, but his voice was suffocated inside his throat.
So, he tried to move and run after her, but his strengths were leaving him as he was losing warm blood from his chest. He had to stop and fell on his knees.
'The wound opened again.
It's better... if I let her go, I don't want to scare her.' he told himself. Now the pain was so intense that he was losing grip with reality.
Rapidly he reached his phone and gave Sam a call, asking him to bring him another suit as soon as possible.
Sam walked immediately into the wine party and looked nervously for Jacob.
He told Jacob to stay away from parties and troubles at least until his wound was completely healed, but as always he didn't listen to him. Jacob was arrogant and stubborn, and now...
But Sam was ready for this, he knew that Jacob would have shown up here to see Emily. And he knew also that he would have chosen this a million times again.
'This woman makes him weak, ' thought Sam mournfully.
On the other side, Emily was taking some time to breathe after her runaway. She waited until her heart calmed down its frenetic pumping.
She promised herself that she would stay away from Jacob. However, this required much more efforts than she thought. Each and every time she saw him, she still felt the same thrill that she felt the very first time. Thus, the only reasonable option was to avoid him at all times.
But deep down she knew that she would have spent her whole life within his arms. But sadly, not always things go in the way we expected.
A broken mirror cannot be fixed, just like their relationship.
"Tig-Tag-Tig-Tag" The sound of a pair of high-heeled shoes interrupted her thoughts, Emily slowly looked up and her eyes stared wide open at the person walking in the room,"Tina," she said coldly.
Tina was standing in front of Emily, staring at her with her usual superior attitude.
Emily still hated Tina for what she did to her, but now Emily feared her no more,"The person you are looking for is in the back." said Emily.
"I am not looking for Jacob. I was looking for you," said Tina, with a strange expression stamped on her face. However, Emily was not the only one feeling that something in the air was changing. Tina also had a strange feeling toward Emily, 'Something in her has changed, this conversation just got interesting.'
Emily sneered,"What do you want from me?"
Tina gave a smile and spoke directly,"So, what does it feel like to kiss Jacob?"
Tina must have seen them together. She was spying them again and this was disgusting,"Go away," Emily told her back.
She was no more willing to play these silly games with Tina.
"Come one, why did you get so angry? I was just asking a simple question." Tina was growing happier as Emily become more and more upset, really much happier than she expected.
"If you want to know, why don't you try yourself?" Emily asked impatiently.
And without any second thought, Emily pushed Tina away. At first, Tina struggled to stay on her feet but then she felt on the floor.
As soon as she was back on her feet Emily was already gone. In an impetus of rage, she punched the wall crying "Stupid bitch!" coming straight from the heart.
At that moment, Mark showed up and hugged Tina from the back without saying a word.
But Tina was so mad with Emily that no one could comfort her in that moment, neither Mark,"Stop stalking me!" she yelled.
"I was afraid she could hurt you." Mark sighed,"when will you grow up Tina? Let's get over this obsession..."
