What happens next?
Zoe rejects him.
"What is it Jake?" Zoe asks as she looks over Jake.
"You always been there for m...me...uggh!" Jake moans.
"Here let me help you up."
"I don't know why but...but you been kind to me."
"It's what friends are for." Zoe says as she sits him on the couch and grabs some tissues and dab them in some wine puddles and start to dab at Jake's wounds.
"No, that's not it." Jake takes in some harsh breaths as turns the wrong way and his ribs hurt, "There something...something about me...I don't know...something...."
"Jake..." Zoe scoffs, "You being delirious."
Jake grabs Zoe's shoulder and whispers, "Zoe..."
He then leans in and kiss Zoe. Zoe starts to reciprocate but then stops, "Whoa! Whoa!"
She stands up with her hands up.
"What? What is it? What's wrong?" Jake asks as his face starts to swell up.
"We...we can't do this." Zoe says crossing her arms over herself.
"Why not? You liked me don't ya. That's why you been hanging around me. Helping me."
"No..." Zoe laughs, "That's not it."
"Then what is it?"
"I can't tell you?"
"Why can't you tell me?" Jake says getting his strength back as he starts to stand up, "I don't see what the problem is, you like me don't you?"
"Yeah, but not in that way."
"What way? Zoe?" Jake scoffs, "We fucked!"
"Yeah in the ring or in training. What are you want is something completely different that can't happen." Zoe replies as she sniffs as tears start to form in her eyes.
"Why not?"
"I can't tell you."
"Why not?"
"I promise."
Jake grabs Zoe's shoulders, "Who did you promise?"
"Sister Mary and Mama Luv. It was for your own protection and for mine, and for Casey and for the twins."
"What is?"
"I can't tell you!" Zoe screams as she starts to cry.
"Zoe!" Jake starts to shake her with tears in his own eyes, "Tell me!"
