out of all the dates i've been on , every single one with jackson comes second. my favorite date would forever be the one with mattia at the fair. even though it ended in unfortunate events.

me and jackson were currently at a restaurant waiting for our food. we made it official 1 month ago and honestly it's been great.

" okay next question, who is your favorite person in the world?" i asked.

" well since you asked , myself." he flips his invisible hair. " im kidding , my family , my girlfriend, and my friends"

" i like how your trying to make me blush, but its not working." i say trying to hide my cheeks rosing up.

jackson squints his eyes and scoots closer to me. he moves my hair behind my neck gently. " what about now?" he whispers in my ear.

the waitress walks back to the table and hands us our food. before i could even check the food jackson was already doing it. " excuse me , can she have this with no ketchup and tomatoes." he tells the waitress.

" alright , would that be all for you?" she asked. " yes thank you," i answer.

" no problem, give me about 10 minutes and enjoy your meal." she walks away with my plate on a tray.

" i still can't believe you don't like ketchup on your burgers." jackson chuckles. " i keep forgetting how weird you are."

" well you like this weirdness so hush your mouth." i smile and take a sip of my drink. " and in my opinion ketchup doesn't belong on burgers." i smile.

" and in my opinion brown is an ugly color but you don't hear me saying anything about it." he shrugs. i hit him with the table towel.

" i should make you walk home for saying that. brown isn't ugly" i roll my eyes. the lady comes back with my food correct this time.

" okay you hate ketchup , surprises unless i do them , the color yellow and bananas." he states. " oh i almost forgot tomatoes."

i clap my hands lightly and smile because he remembers everything i told him when we first started talking.

" yeah now name my favorite things." i sip what's left of my drink.

" your favorite things are , the color sage and brown , butterflies, reading, late night drives and walks , family and friends, stuffed animals and of course me." he smiles.

i smile in return and begin to eat my food.

all of us decided to meet up to finalize everything for l.a, i was really excited for the whole trip. this is our first time going to california so it better be worth it.

" everyone has their ticket already except jackson and vic. my dad is driving us to the airport and the airbnb is already finalized." y/n tells us.

" oh i got my ticket yesterday," vic informs us. " i'm getting mines tomorrow." jackson states.

i couldn't stop staring at y/n , i don't know why. i just miss her. she is not really around anymore because i haven't told vic about what happened. the only reason why i didn't tell her is because i don't what to lose her either.

thats weird , i know. everyone still doesn't know what went down that night , all they wanna know is why she isn't hanging out with us anymore. i don't want to tell them anything until i figure out everything.

" um y/n can you follow me inside please?" i clear my throat and get out of my seat. she looks at me with more of a confused look. " please?" i beg.

she looks at jackson and he nods his head. i walk ahead of her and she follows behind me. i find a private place in the cafe where we could talk. this little voice inside my head has been kicking my ass telling me i need to talk to her.

" what do you want?" she says while crossing her arms. " i wanted to talk to you." i tell her.

" about?"

" about us , you have been acting so distant and it feel weird not having you around." i tell her. " huh? just like it weird having your girlfriend around the girl you said you were in love with. you didnt even have the human decency to tell her." she whisper yells so only i can hear.

" y/n i stayed with her and didn't tell her because i was unclear of how you felt. i poured out my heart and meant every word and you hust left me in the dirt. i told you once your ready to come clean to me about how you feel , then i will tell vic." i tell her in the same tone.

" you know what mattia , i tried okay. i literally tried and vic showed up at the time. but hey maybe im the stupid one because i should've remembered that she was coming back." she bites her lip trying to hold back her tears.

" no no dont say that please , your not stupid." i place my hand on her cheek. she looks at me with those eyes , for god sake. i try my hardest not to do anything and then i remembered vic was right outside. 

she places her hand on mine and drops my hand. she wipes whatever small drops of tears that managed to escape and walked away. she reaches the door and i follow behind her.

" jackson um can we go? please?" she says grabbing her things. " yeah , is everything okay?" he asked her. " um yeah , my mom needs me home for something." she lies.

i scoof before sitting back at the table next to victoria. the boys all looked at me as jackson and y/n walk away. so much for trying to fix things.

" dude wtf happened in there?" kairi asked me. " nothing, i just asked her why she hasnt been hanging out with us but then her mom called and said they needed to talk about something important." i shrugged before taking a sip of my drink.
