*Sky*

The whole drive home, Trevor's words kept running through my head. What could he possibly need to tell me? Everything was so crazy, I pulled up to my house, and I could not believe who was waiting for me. Standing on my front steps was non-other than Jason.

I was not going to let him get to me. I wanted him to think that I was over him. I held my phone in my hand and stepped out. I only made it a few feet before he was standing in front of me.

"Sky," he whispered, pushing a strand of hair from my face. I stood still, not having the courage to look up into his eyes.

I knew the agony I would see, and I couldn't let myself go there with him.

"The kiss was not what you think. I had too many drinks, and Lexi caught me off guard. I'm not making excuses for my behavior; I fucked up! I just want you to know that I never meant to hurt you. You were the best thing in my life. Have you ever thought about why I let you set the pace of our relationship? I took things slow for a reason." He said, his eyes meeting mine.

"You are not just any girl to me, Sky. You were the girl."

I had always wondered about that. My heart was about to beat out of my chest, thinking about what Jason was about to say.

I knew better than to complicate this any more than it already was, but I needed to know.

"Then tell me," I said, looking up into his beautiful eyes.

"I was so afraid of losing you that I was unwilling to take the chance that I would make a wrong move. That I push you into something before you were ready. I didn't want you to feel pressured because I was older. You know how things are at home and the constant pressure to succeed looming over me. When I was with you Sky, you made it all bearable. You made me want to be better." He said, leaning down and kissing my forehead.

My mind was racing, and my emotions were all over the place. Jason looked so lost, and it hurt me to see him like that. I just couldn't go there with him again. I was still so damaged because of what he had done. I needed to leave him and all my feeling for him behind. I took the breath that I knew I needed to calm me down enough to walk away.

"I can't do this, Jason, I don't hate you, but I will never get back with you. Please try to move on. I will do the same."

"I can't let you go, not know, not ever. I'm going to fight for you, and one day you're going to forgive me. When I said I loved you, Sky, I meant it." He said, walking to his car.

"I'll see you at school tomorrow, beautiful," he said, smiling. Only I knew that he wouldn't, not for a long time.

I walked up to my room in tears. Why did this have to be so hard? Why did my heart refuse to stop loving him? My feelings for him were just as strong as they had always been, but I knew that I could never get past his betrayal.

I packed the things that I planned on taking with me; all my other clothes would be sent by mail. I laid in bed, praying for sleep to come. So many things were running through my head; what if's didn't matter, they would change nothing. My last thought before I drifted off to sleep was Trevor's ocean blue eyes.

It had been a week since I come to stay with my grandma. Jason had called and text me nonstop. Finally, I just had to change my number. I closed my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Only Raven knew it. She was not to give it to anyone, not even Trevor.

I laid in my bed, thinking about how things could have been how they should have been for us.
