Into the Other World

54.

After a few days Ivy was released form the hospital and as time passed everything was back to normal,Ivy went back to school,hung out with her friends and family and did all the things she used to do before.

Time flew and soon Ivy and her friends graduated from high school and they were already starting to head to college. Jackson and Aila got accepted to colleges far from home so they had to move. As for Ivy she didn't apply for any college as she was already the heir of her father's company and she had to start working soon after graduation.

"Are you going to tell her yet?"said Aila.
"I'm moving next month so if I'm going to make my move I've gotta do it quick,"said Jackson.

At noon that day Jackson invited Ivy to go out for lunch with him. Obviously Ivy agreed.

Noon came and Ivy went to the restaurant Jackson told her he would be waiting.

"Have you been waiting long?"said Ivy.
"Oh no,I actually just got here,"he lied. He had actually got there half an hour ago.

They had a great lunch and after that they went out for a stroll around the park.

"Ivy...can I ask you something?"said Jackson as they were enjoying the cool breeze.
"Sure,"Ivy said.
"I...I like you,would you like to..."
"I'm sorry Jackson,"interrupted Ivy,"I'm actually still trying to get over someone so..."
"Then I'll wait for you,"added Jackson.
"Please don't,"Ivy urged.
"But..."
"I still love him okay,"Ivy interrupted,"And I don't even know if I could actually get over him,so please don't do this."
Jackson looked at Ivy with unbelieving eyes,"Who is this guy,huh?

Ivy looked at Jackson, her eyes showed a sense of irritation and anger,her hand formed into a fist and it looked like she was going to punch him.

"Jackson there are two reasons why I can't be with you ever,"Ivy shouted,"First,because I love Jasper and realised that way too late and the second reason is because your father sees me as some kind of thing in between your future,so stop it."

Ivy turned her back on him without listening to a word he was going to say and walked back home. As she walked on the bridge,she looked at the flowing river and the memories of her first friend in Ashness ran through her mind.

"Lucy I hope you're good and well wherever you are."
