"Jason what are you doing here?" I heard a familiar female voice as I looked out the window of my new office in my new house. I turned around with a glass full of Jack Daniels to see Carla standing there.

She wore an army jacket, a black top, dark jeans, and long brown boots on. Her hair was now dyed red and she wore much more make up on her face. She looked so much mature from the last time I saw her, which was four months ago. "Carla, how nice to see you." I smiled and sipped my jack before taking a seat in my office chair.

"I'm serious Jason. I thought you were going to stay away." Carla snapped, crossing her arms and staring at me with a blank expression.

"And I am, I'm just much closer to her now." I chuckled and set my drink on my wooden desk. I'll admit, I am slightly drunk. All I've done for the last four months was drink and drink constantly. Anything to get rid of the pain. "How did you find out about me anyway?" I asked, rubbing the glass up and down with my thumb.

Carla sighed and put her hands on the chair that faced the opposite side of my desk. "Fredo told me. He warned me the night you bought the house and I came here to see it for myself."

I chuckled and leaned my head back in my seat "Oh Fredo. How cute you guys tell each other everything. So C, how have you been?" I asked, kicking my feet on the desk.

"Surprisingly, without you in my life it has been calm. So has Aubrey's so I don't understand why you're here." Carla snapped with anger in her eyes and I stood up, pacing around the room.

"Carla I don't need your bitching right now, ok? Now can you please leave?" I asked, irritated with her scolding.

"I'm not leaving until you do Jason. What are you planing to do? Constantly stalk her like you use to for three years? Jason she needs to move on from you. I thought that's what you wanted four months ago but now I guess not." I stared at the window into the afternoon sky, trying to tell myself that she wasn't right.

I leaned my hand against the tall window and put my head down. "Don't worry I'm not going to do anything." I said quietly and turned slowly to see Carla standing there with a hand on her hip.

Her lips parted and she look confused. She removed her hand from her hip and crossed her arms, shifting her shoulders in the process. "Then what are you going to do? Why did you even buy this house?" Carla asked slightly shocked.

I scratched my forehead and answered her "I don't know really...I know I'm not going to talk to her for sure. I still don't want her knowing about me. I just needed to see her. I needed to see that she was ok for myself. Not have Alex taking pictures for me. I wanted to know everything was ok." I answered.

Carla gulped and her eyes instantly filled with guilt. The room instantly filled with silence and she huffed and gaped open her mouth but quickly closed it. I poured myself another glass of jack when she spoke "I guess you can stay here. As long as Aubrey doesn't come in contact with you." Carla raised an eyebrow.

"You have my word." I lifted up my glass to her and downed half of my drink. I looked out the tall window I had in my office and looked directly at the medium sized pool house outside in the Vasquez's back yard.

It's going to be tough to stay away from her but it's the best thing. I moved here just so I could see for myself that things were ok, I couldn't stand looking at those pictures anymore. That's all I had left of her. Fucking pictures. I need to stop being so selfish and this is the start of it. Of course I'll have to move on at some point in my life. I have to leave Aubrey alone. She won't remember me, she won't know me, she'll get married to a man who could protect her, start a family, and die safe and happy. Even though I want her to have all of that with me, I can't. It's for her own good.

I just have to keep telling myself that. It's for her own good.

"Alright are you good? Cause I gotta go to this party." Carla huffed, pushing her red hair back. I turned around and looked at her with curiousness while holding a glass in my hand.

"Is Aubrey going with you?" I asked, sipping my drink. Carla's eyes widen and she gulped, contemplating in her head. I know I had no right to know what's going on in her life but suspicion got the best of me. I'm so used to me knowing what she was doing or where she was going cause she was always with me.

"Uh-um-I don't think that's something you should know. Hey gotta go, see you later Jason." Carla smiled nervously and waved bye before running out the door. I chuckled and shook my head, that girl hasn't changed a bit. Any laughter died down and complete silence filled the room. The large house was dead silent considering I was going to be the only one living here.

Normally, I would hear Aubrey's squeals, laughter, giggles, yelling, loud music, TV, or her gently voice go throughout the house. I would smile and laugh whenever I could hear what's she was doing. I found it so cute that she had no shame. She had no shame in whatever loud noise she made or how loud her music was.

She was such a kid at heart. She still held the same happiness and creativeness a five year old had. Along with the freedom and courage of a teenage and the wisdom and maturity of a young lady. She could be so many things at once...she could be a kid one minute and next the lady in charge. One of the many things that amazed me about her.

Her horrible laugh, her shining eyes, her gorgeous smile, her beautiful hair, her soft voice, her wonderful personality, her touch, her lingering scent, the slip between my fingers and hers, her tiny arms wrapped around my giant body, the jokes we use to make, the way we use to make fun of each other, the way our lips would tingle every time they touched, how she knew how to calm me down in an instant, how we could sit in complete silence and feel at home with each other. How she made me feel loved; now that amazed me.

Man, I fucking miss her.

No one understands how hard it is. To love someone who lives so far away but yet so close to you. To miss them so bad you want to stop what you're doing and run to them, hold them in your arms and never let go of them. Most of us are lucky to have the ones we are in love with right beside us through everything. Most of us aren't. Everything reminds me of her. Everything. No matter how long it's been, how far away, I'm still reminded of her by a song, or a smell, or an inside joke. It hurts and aches and it feels like cold seeps into your bones whenever you're alone at night and can't sleep and you just want her there but you can't because you are to dangerous for her. I have to stay away from her because of myself.

I did tell Carla the truth, I wasn't going to do anything. I just bought this house because I wanted to be close to her. I needed to be close to her. I had to be sure for myself that everything was ok instead of looking at pictures I made my brother take. Being here made me feel calmer about what was going to happen. I wasn't going to kidnap her again or purposely try to meet her. I just needed to be sure she was ok.

I must seem so selfish right now...but that's all I've ever been in this relationship. Selfish. But this is the start. Staying away from her is the beginning of not being so selfish for once in my life. Let's just hope it works.

Ok this chapter was boring too...I'm sorry guys! In the next chapter things will start to get interesting and Aubrey-well-I don't want to be a spoiler so you'll just have to find out for yourself 😏

Ok so have any of you had those moments where your boyfriend breaks up with you for another girl, the girls ends up leaving him for her ex, then your ex starts go flirt with you cause "he wants you back"? Well that was me today. And instead of being the kind, loving, sweet girl I am, I told him "bye bitch" to his face and embarrassed him in front of all his friends. Yeah, I'm a horrible person oh my fucking god.
