Dry Me Up. |Jacob Bell|

[Illusion Avery Rayne]

Illy shook her head. "Your EMO?" she exclaimed with a wide grin. "Wow.. I didn't know that about you... I thought you we're just people inept...." Illusion told him poking him in the chest.

[sean]

"I'm not emo....but people call me emo. Cause of the way I dress." he told her. "and I love talking you know that." he said to her. He rubbed his chest. "That hurt Ill." he said to her then put his head down like he was sad. He sat there for a couple minutes and then started tickling her. "Oh what now." he said to her as he jumped up and stuck out his tongue.

[Illusion Avery Rayne]

Illusion began to giggle uncontrollably. As he stopped tickling her, she stared at him. "Your going down Bell.." she told him sternly as she jumped up and tackled him. "Ha... Eat that Quackers..." Illusion said, pinning him down her knee on his back, the other on the ground, both her arms we're putting pressure on his shoulders. "Now.... What are you going to try to accomplish now...." Illy said laughing.

[sean]

"Want me to show you. This." he reached into his pocket an pulled out her journal. He had Sam get it for him. He needed info. And he needed it now. "Now you know I love you to death Ill. But if you don't get off me then I will read it out loud in front of every one at breakfast tommorow." he said to her with an evil grin.

[Illusion Avery Rayne]

Illusion glared at him. "How the heck did you get that!?!?!" she yelled as she reached for it. "Now that's low Jacob. Getting a girls journal..." Illy told him obviously not amused, as she let him go."Now fork it over.. Or there will be pain to endure." she threatened, holding out her hand.

[sean]

"Ill I would never read it to every one. I'm not the kind to embarrass people." he assured her. "but I got it from Sam. But don't get mad at her. I was the one who told her to get it. Cause I heard you were writing ever night. And I thought you needed a break. I was just trying to help." he told her. as he handed her the book back.

[Illusion Avery Rayne]

"So what if I write in it every-night. Maybe it calms me.. And I don't write in it every night.. Only when I have time." she told him. "And why would I need a break..When I enjoy writing in it..." Illy told Jacob. "Did you read any of it?" she asked him as her eyes looked into his. "Tell me the truth.."

[sean]

"No I swear I didn't read one thing. I looked at the cover and the back and thats it. And I counted how many pages you wrote. But thats it. I promise." he said to her. "And even if I did its not like its going to stay you love some other guy besides Cody. Come on. I bet thats all you talk about is Cody Cody Cody. Its tthe only thing you can talk to about that butt face." he said to her.

[Illusion Avery Rayne]

Illusions eye twitched, the first sign that she was mad. "So let me guess.. ALLLLL my friends thinks Cody is such a jerk. None of you guys know him, the way I do... How many honest guys would, have the guts to tell their girlfriend, that they've been seeing another girl.. And be totally truthful about what happened." she snapped. "And even if I do write about him in my journal... I obviously can't talk about him with you or anyone else.. Because everyone else, is against me... I have my doubts at times.. But I love Cody.. And if that's not good enough for my friends.. Then I suppose I can't be yalls friend..." she told Jacob as she walked off, journal in her hands.

[sean]

Jacob blinked twice. Then ran after Illusion. He got next to here and words just started to spill out "Illusion. Thats not what I think. I actually like Cody. I think you and Cody are good for each other. You and him have been through so much. And I don't even know why I said any of that stuff back there. And you know me. I talked hours about Gee Gee before I left and you still listened. And I will do the same for you and Cody." he said to her. "But Illusion, tell me this when was the last time you saw him. Huh. When. You see every one else but him. Samantha is going through the same thing if you didn't know, she hasn't seen Xianex for months now. She loves that bloke to death but hasn't seen him. They haven't even said I love you yet. Un-like you and Cody." he said to her. "Illusion, I'm telling you the truth cause I care about you that much. I'm always here for you Ill. and you know that." he said to her. Oh gawd here came the truth. He thought his whole stomach was about to fall out of his stomach. "Illusion I guess what I'm trying to say is that I luve you." he said to her. there it was the truth. The 100% truth.

[Illusion Avery Rayne]

Illusions face became un-readable. She looked at Jacob, eyes wide. "Jacob.... Your like my little brother.. You more like my brother than Adam was... If your expecting anything more than a friendship.. I don't think I can do that..." she told him pausing. "I love you, I'm just not in love with you.... I love Cody... No matter how much I have doubts." Illusion told him with another pause. "And I know about Samantha. I've been trying to talk with her, about it.. I feel for her.. I go threw the same things. It's just how some relationships go. You have to accept the fact, that they might have problems of their own, and they need some space..." Illusion told him. "And it makes my, dad to know you didn't mean those things about Cody.. But I know it's stressful to see your friends hurting... But I'll mend.. So will Samantha.."

[sean]

"Yeah thats what I meant. Nothing more. Nothing less" he said to her. Except that was a lie. He wanted to just run away and thought really hard about it. But he couldn't do it. Illusion would soon get the picture. "And samantha might be leaving soon. she says the people meaning her friends, aren't the same any more. And she wants to go some where that shes loved." he told her.

[Illusion Avery Rayne]

"She won't find it anywhere else.. I mean, come on, she's in her second year.. Like you... Don't give up now.. Try and try.. Graduate, then worry about relationships.. You don't need them.. Their just something to have.. And I'd hate to lose another friend, just because someones friends are being J.A's......" she told him.
