"You and him?" I blurted out. I didn't like Tasha at all but she could do so much better than that. The girl had self esteem issues.
                              
 "Jacob's my cousin." Tasha explained.
                              
"I'm pretty sure that's illegal." I said. I knew she didn't mean it like that but still. It made sense to me. Those two would evoke the same feeling of disgust in me. I guess some things run in the family.
                              
I noticed Tobin had a faint smile on his face. Great, I wasn't here to amuse him, I was here to kick his beautiful ass. What? You can hate a guy all you want, if someone has a nice ass, you need to acknowledge that. Not that I hated Tobin. I don't think I had it in me to actually hate him, even after all he's done.
                              
"We'll leave you two lovebirds alone." Jacob said with an evil smirk on his face.
                              
"I could say the same for you." I raised my eyebrow.
                              
Before Tasha left, she whispered something in Tobin's ear and kissed his cheek. Maybe it was an attempt to make me jealous. It wasn't very believable since Tobin looked a little grossed out.
                              
"So, I'm here. You got what you wanted." I broke the ice. I wasn't in the mood for small talk, especially not with Tobin. Now that we were alone, we could get down to business.
                              
I never meant for it to escalate like this." He said. I believed him. He sounded exhausted, even talking seemed to be taking a lot of effort.
                              
"Well, it did. I just don't get why." I told him honestly. I knew Tobe, he wasn't like this. We'd had a good relationship, it was solid. Then he changed. He had been a good guy once, he was still in there somewhere. He needed to be.
                              
"I need you." He croaked. He needed help, that's what he needed. Not the person I was in his eyes.
                              
"I'm not sure it's me you need." I said carefully. This didn't seem like a psycho that would threaten my boyfriend. This guy was broken.
                              
"I do! How many ways do I have to show you Jill?" A newfound energy coursed through Tobin. Code had been right, he was like a ticking time bomb. Suddenly I didn't feel confident anymore, I didn't think I could stop him from detonating.
                              
I sighed. "Yelling isn't gonna solve anything. Just talk to me." This suddenly felt like a déjà vu. How many times I'd said these words during our relationship. A year later and it seemed as if time hadn't moved.
                              
The only thing that had moved forward was me. I was fed up with it, I wasn't gonna take it any longer.
                              
"Either you start telling me or I'm gone, Tobe. It's your choice."  He smiled faintly when he heard me call him 'Tobe' instead of Tobin.
                              
Suddenly his demeanor changed. He was gonna explode or have a mental breakdown. I was hoping for the latter.
                              
"Where do I even start?" He asked. "You fucked me up real good, you know that?"
                              
Me? I fucked him up? I guess delusional was another thing to add to the list. I decided not to get into an argument with that. Maybe he was just trying to change the subject.
                              
"Then tell me how. Start from the beginning Tobe, you know where it started to go wrong." I tried to keep my tone warm but I guess I was still bitter. After all this time he still kept me in the dark. A year had passed and I still didn't know why he had acted the way he did during the last months of our relationship.
                              
Before today I figured I was gonna see him so I could give him some closure. Little did I know that he wasn't the only one that needed closure.
                              
Tobin sighed and stared at the ground as if it was the most interesting place in the world. I was ready to walk away, he clearly wasn't gonna tell me anything. I was done waiting.
