Misunderstanding

Jesse's POV

"Eat Jesse, try and eat something".mom pleaded

I hissed and stared at the food with no appetite.

"I can't eat ". I murmured 

Mom hissed softly and stared at me before going back to her food.

It's been a week since I last saw Benson and whenever I go to see him his aunt always drive me away.

His phones were switch off, and he even stopped coming to school which was strange.

A call on my phone caught my attention, I went for my phone in my pocket.

"Hello Jacob"

"Jesse, you need to come here right now ". Jacob screams on top of his voice.

"What is it ". I asked in panic, 

"Just come ".

"Alright, I'll be there ". I replied and stood up from the chair, 

"And where are you going". Mom demanded in anger.

"I need to be somewhere, mom ". I quickly replied and went for the door.

"Jesse".she calls out

I ignored her and left the house.

I took a taxi and in no time I was in Jacob's house.

"What's going on ". I asked, 

He stared at me with pity but did not say a word.

"Tell me, Jacob, what's wrong ". I asked in fear.

"I just saw Benson a while ago ". He whispered, 

"And ?". I asked while seizing my breath

Jacob hissed softly and ran his fingers through his hair.

"They have sold their house and I think they are leaving the country". He spoke firmly.

"That's bullshit". I muttered out in fear, 

"It's true oli, I just saw them a while ago ".he muttered out 

"What did he say ". I ask in fear

"He didn't say anything to me, his aunt was the one doing the talking". He shakes his head and sat on the couch .

"What do you mean ". I asked confused 

"I met them when they were packing their last belongings, I walk up to Benson and tried to talk to him, but his aunt asked him to stay in the car and he did treating me like a total stranger".

"This is ridiculous". I murmured 

"Yes it is ". Jacob replied 

"What happened then".

"She told me they were traveling out of the country to visit their relative and will be back, but I knew she was lying".

"I ask her why was Benson not talking to me"

"What did she say". I asked, 

"She said Benson doesn't want to talk to any of us ".

"Why "

"I have no idea". He replied confused.

"So how did you know they sold their house". I asked.

"The moment they left a man opened the door of their apartment and started bringing out things, I walk up to him and question him that was when he told me the house was sold already by Benson's aunt "

"Shit". I whispered in pain.

"I think he is gone, he doesn't want me in his life ". I murmured in tears.

"That's not true Jesse".he tried assuring me, but I knew that was the truth.

I hissed softly but did not say a word.

"This is strange ". Jacob muttered out, 

"Why will Benson leave without informing any of us ". Jacob spoke confused.

"Maybe he doesn't want any of you to let me know ". I murmured in pain 

"That's not true, I think something is wrong ".he murmured 

I hissed softly and lean on the couch.

"Jesse ".he calls out my name

I open my eyes and stared at him.

"I think we should go to their house and check things out " .he whispered 

"How?, the door is locked ",

"I know a way, just follow me".

I stood up from the couch and followed him out of their apartment .we got to Benson's apartment, and he led me to the backyard.

"We will go through that window".he pointed a window at me.

I climbed the window through the help of Jacob.

I got into Benson's room and waited for Jacob to climb in.

In a minute, Jacob was in Benson's room.

"This is Benson's room". I murmured 

I stared around and noticed the picture of Benson and me that was glued on the wall of his room was no longer there.

"He left with our pictures". I murmured in releif

"That's good, at least he hasn't forgotten about you, he is just angry at you at the moment.

I nod my head and sign in relief.

I open the drawer and saw that his clothes were also gone.

I sign in Frustration and closed the drawer.

I went to his bathroom and open the door, I look around and noticed his soap and sponge were all intact, he didn't take anything from his bathroom.

I hissed and was about closing his bathroom door when something in the waste bin caught my attention.

I turn around and took a better look at what was in the waste bin and to my surprise it was the pictures of Benson and me.

It was torn to pieces and dumped in the waste bin.

"Jacob". I whispered in pain and sat on the floor.

"What is it ". He rushed to the bathroom and look at the direction I was facing.

"Shit ".he whispered and knell down before me 

"It's okay Jesse".he tried assuring me, but I have Already broke down in tears.

I cried in pain and couldn't breathe.

"Jesse". Jacob stared at me with pity before pulling me to himself in a tight hug, 

"I've lost him Jacob, I've lost Benson". I murmured in tears 

"No you've not Jesse, this is just a misunderstanding ".he tried assuring me, but I knew the answer to my question.

Benson has left me, and he isn't coming back.

I hissed softly and stood up from the bed, 

It was all a dream, a dream that brought back a familiar pain to me.

This was how I lost Benson like a twinkle of an eye.

Ever since then I searched for him but couldn't see any trance of him. 

I wanted to give up and let him go, but I couldn't because I wanted to explain everything to him and let him know I never cheated on him, it was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding I knew he believed for the past twelve years.
