in love with a criminal- part 2

Chapter Two

Madisons POV:

-I got up for school the next morning. I hate that I'm gonna have to go to school without Jackson. I'm really missing him. We never even made it official we were dating.
I walked into school and Jasmine came running up to me. -
Jasmine: Madison! I'm-
Me: You know I'm really not in the mood for this right now.
Jasmine: Madison... I'm sorry about the whole Derek thing. He dumped me.
Me: So what if he didn't dump you?
Jasmine: Well he dumped me ok? He dumped me for no reason. We only went out for a day and he broke up with me over text.
Me: Because he's a jerk! Like we know.. I warned you and you didn't listen. You even knew he cheated on me with Lexi.
Jasmine: I know.. can we please be friends again?
Me: I'll think about it..
-Lexi and sophia walked up to us.-
Lexi: Haha! You're boyfriend went to jail!
Me: Shut up.. plus he's not my boyfriend. How did you guys know?
Lexi: It's in an article online. Everyone at school knows.
-they rolled there eyes and walked away-
Jasmine: Again Mad, I'm really sorry about everything.. I really hope we can be friends again..
-she walked away, I just looked down inside my locker and just thought about everything. I'm way too busy in my head with this whole Jackson in jail stuff. It's hard to think about anything else right now. She betrayed me. I forgive her I just don't know if I can be friends with her right now.
After school I went home and Jasmine was there. -
Me: Jasmine.. what are you doing here?
Jasmine: I'm sorryyyyy I just wanna be best friends again!
Me: Okay.. but you have to promise you won't ever do that again. Or like try to date my ex that's toxic..
Jasmine: I promise.
Me: Okay. I guess we can be friends..
Jasmine: Thank you thank you!
-we hugged and we went into my room-
Jasmine: Sorry about the whole Jackson thing.. That's probably really hard.
Me: Thanks.. I know..he was harmless though. Not everyone knows it was my house he broke into, specifically. Plus my parents had to tell on him.. ugh.
Jasmine: Yeah.. that's awful.
Me: But there is a way I could get him out of jail sooner. Which is.. 2K dollars.
Jasmine: Omg! That's... not that bad.
Me: I only have 1,000 i just need another thousand.
Jasmine: Ok so I have 500 dollars in my savings. I collected it from working at the ice cream shop. We would just need another 500.
Me: You don't have to help me or pay..
Jasmine: No it's ok. I want him back too.
Me: Only if you want cause it's your money.
Jasmine: I want to!
Me: Thank you so much!
Jasmine: No problem. Where are we gonna get 500 dollars?
Me: I don't know.. maybe I could sneak it out of my parents savings account?
Jasmine: Omg. You would get in trouble! Plus they'll find out he's out of jail.
Me: Yea but I don't care about that part. We just need the money. Maybe I should just get a job..
Jasmine: Okay yea we can both work at the ice cream shop then put our money together!
Me: Ok great! Just I never actually had a job before.
Jasmine: You'll do great. Just think your doing this for Jackson.
Me: Right.

-the next day I went into the ice cream shop to apply for a job. Thankfully they actually hired me. I start working tomorrow. It's gonna take a bit to actually get 500 dollars but as long as I get the money at some point.
I went over to jackson and joeys house to see Joey.-
Joey: Oh hey Madison.
Me: Hey.. I was wondering if you have any money you could donate to bail jackson out?
Joey: Oh uh. Come sit down.
-I sat down on the couch and he went into his room to grab money and sat next to me.-
Joey: I only have 100 so far from my job. So here.
Me: Okay thank you! So we only have 400 dollars left to get. I'm gonna start working at the ice cream shop tomorrow with Jasmine and we'll have the money soon hopefully.
Joey: That's great. I miss Jackson so much.
Me: Yea... me too.
Joey: Your actually really pretty.. I wasn't going to say that around jackson.. but yea..
Me: Thanks..
-he started touching my shoulder a little and gazed at me.-
Me: Well I better go..
-I almost stood up from the couch.-
Joey: Wait uh..
-he quickly grabbed me and kissed me. It was just a small peck.-
Me: Joey!
Joey: What? I couldn't help myself!
Me: Just stop ok! I gotta go..
-I left. I saw him about to kiss me and I let him I'm so stupid! -
