Strictly Business

I got out of the hospital and Jay decided to take me to Outback.

"So how's your first meal that's not crappy hospital food?"
"It's the best. Thank you so much."
"No problem. Anything for my girl." those words hurt so bad considering that's all Carter wants me to be is his girl.

I played with my food for a bit and just stared.

"Is something on your mind? You've seemed kind of out of it for days."

"I know. It's just..."
"It's just what?"
"I have something to tell you."
"Is this about Mr. Owens? You and him have had some tension."
"Actually."
"I knew it. You two couldn't keep your eyes off of eachother. I have no respect for him. He was raping you with his eyes!"

"Jay no, I just wanted to say that I love you. I just didn't know how to say it. We've only been dating for maybe a week but I feel like it's been years."

"Oh. I'm sorry Madelyn."
"It's fine. But I definitely feel the same. He stares at me a lot."

"I'll get it settled."
"You don't have to do that."
"Yes I do."
"What ever you say mr. Hot stuff."

We finished dinner and he payed.
He opened the passenger door for me and then he opened the drivers door to start the car.

"This was really nice. Thank you"
"Anytime Madelyn."
"No but really. I e enjoyed spending time with you. And to think we've only known each other for maybe a week and I think I'm starting to love you."

"I honestly thought I was the only one feeling that way."
"Well you're not."

He pulled his car into my drive way and took the keys out.

"It's just so nice out here."
"Yeah."
"Do you ever just look at the stars and think that every star has a story? You know jut like every person has their story?"

"I've never done that but now I do."
"Like you and your parents."
"Yeah I guess." I looked down and started having flash backs.

There was so much blood. My mom flew through the wind shield and landed ten feet away. Her head split open.

My dad's neck broke on impact because his body was moving so abruptly. It was easily the worst day of my life.

I looked at my hands and I was back in Jay's car. My hands were wet.

Tears slowly dripped from my cheeks.

"Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine." I said wiping my tears.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have."
"No I'm sorry." I slammed the car door and paced to the door.

Carter would never make this mistake. God I just got out of the hospital basically a day ago and I just wanted to go back so I could kiss carter.

No Madelyn stop. I don't like carter. He likes me. He just wants to use me.

"Madelyn wait!"
"What?"
"I know I shouldn't have. I just wanted you to talk to me about it."
"I would've told you eventually."
"Sorry."
"I'm not mad at you. I'm mad that you rushed me. Now that I think about it, our whole relation ship is rushed. We've only known eachother for a week and we are already saying that we love each other. We're kissing and calling each other my girl or baby or babe."

"I can go slower if you want. I can give you time."

*jays pov*
I didn't want to break up with her.

I really liked her.

"Please Madelyn. We can take things slow."

"I don't know. I just want to go back to the day my parent left to go buy furniture. I didn't even get to say bye or a simple I love you."

She broke down into tears and slid down the door.

I walked over to her and Hugged her.

"Shh it's okay."
"No I want my parents back."
"I know I would give anything. Even my own life just so you could be happy."
"I am happy. I have you here to comfort me."

"I know that we kind of rushed things. We should probably start over."

She nodded her head and wiped her final tears.

"Hi my name is Madelyn Dell nice to meet you."

"I'm Jay." I smiled and winked at her.

We at there in each other's arms for what seemed like eternity. I noticed that Madelyn had fallen asleep.

I opened the door and carried her to her room. I laid her on her bed. She looked so content when she was sleeping.

I decided to stay in at her place for the night because it was late and I knew she wouldn't mind.

I sat on the pink sofa in her room and laid down.

I fell into a deep sleep.
