Thoughtful.

After all, Oliver had said, Jake decided to have a rethink. But it wasn't that he believed his brother's argument regarding Kaiden's innocence.

He knew what he saw: it was him! His heartbeat!

It was his number for god's sakes! Who else had the access to Kaiden's number to message him from his phone?

Jake started to feel like he would have doubted it was him if that heartbreaking and soul-crushing text message had not come from him but some anonymous sender.

How deliberately wicked could Kaiden ever be to him?

It still felt like a dream whenever the lines of that break-up text resonated in his mind. It was too much for him.

His fragile heart did not deserve such magnitude of hurt and pain.

He'd continued to sink deeper and far deeper into the abyss of losing his self-worth, and many other things.
