It's past midnight Quinn is very tired.She look up to see Jake is still playing video games with friends.Quinn is unable to go to sleep due to her insomnia.Jake chatting with his friends loudly ease Quinn a little.She dozed off into a sweet dream.
4.30 a.m.
Jake is still playing games although he's a little quieter now.Most probably his friends already went to sleep and he's left alone grinding.
Quinn woke up from her sleep and she sees a light shining even with her eyes closed."Must be Jake...is he still playing?What time is it?"she wondered.
"Hmmm"Quinn hummed making sure she's loud enough for Jake to hear her.
"Honey? You awake? I'm sorry I'll be fast give me a few minutes.I'm sorry"Jake said not turning away from the screen.
"Okay..take your time.."Quinn said a little muffled under the blanket.
1 hour passes;
"Hmmph"Quinn make sure Jake can hear her again.
"Oh my God.How long has it been?...I'm so sorry.Sweetheart I'm sorry I'm here now.."said Jake regretting playing.
"You said you'll be done in a min..one hour ago....mmph"said Quinn sulking.
"I'm so sorry sweetie...I'm here now..please? I'm sorry..."said Jake turning off his computer.
"I got so caught up with the game...I didn't want to end it with a lose..I'm sorry.I should've stopped long ago. I'm sorry honey"said Jake coming into the bed trying to hug Quinn.
"You always do this"Quinn pouting tears forming in her eyes.
"I'm sorry.I'm so sorry...please don't cry I'm here please?Just hold me?"Jake said trying to console her.
Quinn was clearly tired and Jake knew that.Quinn always gets grumpier when she's tired...also softer and a little of a crybaby.She doesn't think clearly when she's tired and Jake is most worried about that.He doesn't want Quinn to think negative things while he's with her.He swore to himself to protect her.Knowing her insecurities he's trying really hard not to make her feel unwanted and unloved by him.
"Honey I'm sorry..please? I love you.I love you so much? Please. I'm here...I messed up.I'm sorry..please? Forgive me..?"Jake said still holding his hands up so that she'll hug him.
Instead Quinn curled up in a ball turning away from him.
"You promised you'll not do this anymore..you're here now....at last and you still act the same..."said Quinn sobbing.
Jake felt as if his heart were ripped right out of his chest.
"I'm sorry..I'm sorry I broke my promise honey..please...I'm here.I promise I'll always be here..please" he said pleadingly.
Quinn turn around to face him. Her face is red. Jake felt another pain in his chest knowing that Quinn is crying...and it's all because of him.
"Darling....I love you so much..please.. I'm sorry..."Jake said trying hard to not fall into tears too.
Quinn trying hard to stop sobbing.Her words are barely heard between those sobs.
"I- love-..love you- too" she said wiping her tears off her face.
"I know...I know"Jake said with a soft smile hugging her tightly patting her head.
