~ JESSE ~
I was frozen again. Still sitting, but leaning on my fist, gaping at Rake, utterly confused and shaking my head.
"What the hell are you talking about, Rake- what the actual fuck? I never-"
"No no! No… not you! Me, Jesse… God…" he dropped his face in his hands for a moment and a shudder rocked through him. I just stared.
'Rake, what the hell?'
He sucked in a deep breath and raised his head, his eyes closed. Then when he opened them, he met my gaze with grief on his face.
"He was right about me," he murmured. "He was right about… my feelings."
My jaw dropped and I stopped breathing.
