"Well let me introduce us..Liam this is Caden my best friend..Aria she's another one of my best friend..and she's dating this guy who I think you'll really get along with..his names Alex..This is Jackson-'' He cuts me off

"Your boyfriend" he says

"No..my other best friend" I say

"Oh"
"Yeah"

"Anyways Jackson is also sorta kinda not really..never mind..but he moved here a few months ago. And I'm Carter" I say

"Well it's nice meeting everyone" he send all of us smile.

Holy moly can I say how GOOD looking his man is...wow and his smile.

"Nice meeting you to but Carter and I should get going" Jackson says and quickly stands up pulling me along with him.

Once we get out side the cafeteria We head to our other classes. Once school was over I decided I wanted to go eat somewhere.

"Jackson can you please come with me to eat" I ask

"Carter I need to get home..my mother will kill me if I don't"

"Don't lie" I say pointing at him

"I'm not..I kinda accidentally yelled at my mother yesterday because we got into this argument about how I wanted my own car but she was no you can't I was not your not fair and stuff like that so I'm grounded" he says and sighs

"Great I have no one to go with" I say and whine

"Go with Caden or Aria"
"There busy Aria went to Alex's house and Caden's at practice" I say

"I'm sorry beautiful but I need to get home"

"How are you getting home anyways you don't have a ride?"

"My mother picking me up"

"Uhhh"

"I can go" I hear a strong voice coming form behind. I turn and see Liam.

"Oh..ok" I say

Then I see Jackson's mother pull up. I look at Jackson to see that he has is jaw closed really tight together.

"Jackson your moms here" I say

"Oh..ok..well I see you later" he says and walks away..I was expecting a goodbye kiss on my cheek or something but whatever.

"Wait Carter" I turn and see Jackson running back towards me.

"What?"
"Goodbye beautiful." He says and plants a kiss on my forehead. And I smile to myself..

Then he walks away

I turn around and see Liam standing uncomfortable.

"Come On" I say

He comes and gets into the passenger side. I start the engine and make my way out of the school.

"You sure you and that's Jackson dude are just friends?" He ask

"Yes..I mean it's complicated"

"And why is that?"

"Well you see Jackson and I meet a few months back and we become really close friends..in fact I'm the first friend he made here..I use to get bullied a lot when he first came..I got into a small argument with him and he confessed that he liked me..and I like him to..but that kinda were we left it."

"Well I mean I'm not surprised he likes you...but I'm not to good with advice..I've been in one relationship but it didn't end to well. But if you like him than..go for it..I guess" he says

"Well that's the thing...I can't because I'm in this place right now..where I don't really want to have a relationship with him..not because I don't like him but because-''

"You don't know him well enough" he says

"Exactly" I say

"Well looks like we're here" I say and get out and he dose the same.

We walk in and find a table. We order our meals and keep trying to make conversation.

"Um so why'd you move here?"

"Because of family..My mother missed my dad so she decided to move back here" he says

"If you don't mind me asking why do and you dad live apart"

"My mom she had gotten a offer in Washington..and I wanted to be with her. I was always a mommy's boy..I couldn't just stay here while she left so I went. Her and my dad started having issue since we left..and that issue was that they were really missing each other..my parents were always madly I love and till this day they are..so my mom just decided to move back.."

"Oh that's nice"

"What about you..you always lived here?"

"Well yeah"

"That's cool any sibling?"

"No just me..After my mother had me she told me I was enough. They had me 2 years after my dad and mom got married..As well as your parents they were madly in love..But it's changed now."

"Now if you don't mind me asking..why'd it changed"

"My dad passed 2 years ago..after an accident accrued..I miss him like crazy but my mom took it way harder than me."

"Oh I'm so sorry.." he says

"Yeah me to.."

"If you don't mind me asking why'd he pass"

"Suicide" I say

His eye go wide
"Oh"

"Yeah" I say and look away

Then the food arrives short after.

"Um you said earlier you had a pass relationship and you said it didn't end well why?" I ask

"Oh..Emily she's was my ex girlfriend..she cheated on me with some random dude" he says

"Oh"
"Yeah"

"I loved her..but she broke my heart that happened like 2 years ago"

"How old?" I ask

"18 you?"

"17" I say

"So you were 16 when she cheated"

"Yup" He says popping the "P".

"So you dated young" I ask

"Yup well she was my first girlfriend" he says

"Oh...how'd y'all meet?"

"My mom and her mom best friends"

"Oh that's nice"

"Yeah"

"So how'd you meet Jackson?"

"Oh we meet when he moved into my neighborhood..he's my next door neighbor" I say

"Oh that's cool.."

"Yeah..But I should really get going..do you need a lift" I ask

"Um no I'm fine I'll call my mom..she's probably just getting off of work anyways" he says and send me a smile

"Are you sure"

"Positive" He says

"Ok then I'll see you tomorrow..Liam" I say

"You to beautiful" he says

It was weird someone else beside Jackson call me beautiful..and I wasn't a big fan of it..
