It's been a few weeks since that accident happened with Cole and Jackson. After that day I tried ignoring both boys but I gave into Jackson a few days after than Cole 2 days after I forgave Jackson. I was really mad at both of them because one I not someone you can own, two Jackson had no right to say I was off limits. After they both apologized not only to me but each other everything went back to normal. I had told Cole it's better if we just stayed friends. Not because i didn't like him but because it was better for me, I thought I liked him like that but I was wrong. I don't have feeling towards Cole what so ever. Anyways todays Monday. As usual got up got dressed and left. Once I arrived I went straight to school since I was a little bit late.
"Late to class Ms.Jones, I don't want this happening again." Mr. Jonson says
"Sorry Sir it won't happen again" I say and make my way towards my seat.
I look over to Jackson since him and I have the same English class as well. I look over to him and his nodding his head. I stick my tongue out at him like a little 4 year old.
Once class ended I went straight to my other class hoping soon lunch will come. Once my first few classes ended I ran to the cafeteria I was starving since I didn't eat all day. I sat down at my usual table today but I was weird because usually aria is here already or Caden. But there was no one. Then I hear Jackson come behind me.
"Aw someone's all alone" he says
I glare at him
"Ohhh someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today?" He says
"Shut up" I say
"Gosh ok" He says and sits down By me
"What's wrong princess?" He says
"Nothing"
"No something's wrong"
"Really Jackson I'm fine" I say completely lying
"Carter I know you well enough to know something wrong" he says
"I'm just...I don't confused about a lot of things" I say
"Like What?" He says
"Like for instance my....math homework last nights was a pain in my-''
"For real Carter"
"Ok ok...just like..ok so..uhhh I don't know" I say
"Do you need time" he says
"No...Caden's keeping something from me and it's killing me" I say letting everything out
"What?! What do you mean" he ask
"Yeah what do you mean Carter?" I turn at and see Caden...Shit.. I quickly get up
"Caden I didn't mean it like-''
"Why would you think I'm hiding something from you" He ask giving me that look like " you can't even believe me" look
"Caden...your hiding something from me that's important to me...I know it..but you won't tell me" I say
"Carter your literally my best friend why in the world would I keep something form you?"
"I don't know" I say kinda like I'm whining
"Carter trust me when I say...I'm not hiding anything from you" he says reassuring me
"Ok I trust you" I say...I wish I never trusted him.
"Carter?" I turn back and look a Jackson
"What?"
"Are you gonna eat those?" He says pointing to my fries
"No you can eat them" I let out a small chuckle
"Ahah your mine now fries" he says and grabs my plate of fries.
Once lunch was over I went on with my day. Today wasn't so hard actually pretty easy for a Monday to be honest usually Monday suck but today it didn't. Once school ended I went straight home because I was tired and really wanted to sleep because I'm a lazy person. Anyways when I got home my mother told me she was going out of town for some business which I was kinda use to, Well actually she hasn't gone out of town since my dad died because she was scared to leave me alone. She was broken and tried, She was mad that she lost the love of her life. And she didn't wanna lose me either.

Flashback
"Yes sir this is she"
"What?!"
"Ok thank you officer" she says and ends the call. She started to sob
"Mom what happened"
"Your fath-....Your fathers gone" she says
"What" I say out of words to day and a tear coming falling down.
"No no no He can't be gone...He loved us..Mom he can't go...not now NOT EVER!" I say
"I didn't even get to say I love you one more time" I say
End of flashback
~~~•~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"DAD!" I yell
I look at my surroundings and realized I had fallen asleep on the couch. I let out a tear and a few more, I really missed my dad and still wasn't use to him being gone.
Then I head the door bell ring.
I walk over and open my door and see Jackson
"Carter what happened?" He says and immediately pulls me into a hug.
I started to cry into his shoulder
"Princess please tell what's wrong" he says
"I just miss my dad" I say and he immediately pull me back in
"I'm sorry princess" he says
After a few minutes of standing outside and hugging we went inside.
"So where's your mom" He ask
"Oh she went on a Business trip" I say
"Oh for how long?" He ask
"Um a week I think she said" I say
And he makes that "ohhh" face.
"So you just been here"
"Well yeah...I accidentally feel asleep on the couch"
"Oh so you just had like a power nap kinda" He ask
"Yeah something like that" I say
"Ok well that's good because we're going somewhere right now" He say
"Jackson" I saw whining
"Come On" he grabs my hand and we make our way to his moms car.
I go over to the passenger side and get in
"Jackson"
"Carter chill I'm just talking you to the park."
"Oh ok"
I haven't been to the park in so long. I remember going as a little kid with my parents with Aria and Caden. I still remember that time where I was on a swing and a little boy came and pushed me off. Caden saw and ran towards the boy and punched him. I know we were probably like around 7&6. Of course he still got in trouble but ever since than I always saw him as my hero, Until now.
"Ok we're here" Jackson say and gets out of his car.
I get out as well
"Jackson why did you bring me here" I ask
"Because, I wanted to spend time with you" he says
I look down a start to blush.
"Oh ok" I say
We start to walk on a trail that lead some where. I actually have never been to this park before. It was kinda hidden, Not to many people where here. Maybe about 3 family's. It was kinda in the woods.
"Ok Jackson it's getting dark can we please head back" I say
He stops and turns back I get a good look at him and it's not Jackson it's some random dude.
"Um I'm sorry wrong person miss the exit is that way" the male points
I slowly back up and make my way towards the exit. Even though I was walking for at least 20 minutes behind some random dude. How in the hell did I lose Jackson I swear to god I was right behind him the whole time. I started to get even darker and scarier did I forget to mention IM LOST IN THE FREAKING WOODS AND IM FREEZING TO DEATH!
"Jackson" I call out and a tear slides down my cheek
"Jackson please" I yell out now I'm actually sobbing I was terrified. What if that man back there kidnap me or something.
"JACKSON!"
I head foot steps coming my way out of the dark.
"Jackson" I manage to say
He come out of the woods and immediately hugs me. He pulls away and grabs the two sides of my face.
"Are you alright, Are you ok, Did you get hurt I'm sorry I lost you." Then he pulls me back unto the hug.
"Jackson please don't ever lose me again" I say
"I promise princess" he says
