" Ms. Zara, someones on the phone for you " said Linda as she poked her head through my room door.

" Thanks Linda " I say as I reach over my bed and grab the house phone. I put the phone up to my ear.

" Hello? " I say into the phone.

" Zara, can I see you? " asked the unmistakable voice of Jason.

" Why? " I ask almost ashamed that he still wants to see me.

" I need to talk to you "

" Are you sure you want to see me? "

" Yes, meet me at Lucy's Shake Shack in 10 " he says

" I'll be there " I say as I hear him hang up and I do the same.

Luke had brought me home after are long talk. He said that he liked Tania and all but he wasn't ready to be a father.

When I arrived home no one was at the house. Belle had sent me a message saying that she left to go with her aunt and uncle, she was sorry she didn't say bye personally. It was fine. I had nothing to do and did my homework but Jason's phone call changed everything. I got up from my bed and looked in the mirror. I raised my brown hair up into my favorite hair do, a high pony tail. I put a sweater over me and looked in the mirror. I grabbed my bag and my phone and some money, you never know.

I looked up Lucy's Shake Shack on my GPS, it was only about a 10 minute walk. I stepped outside into the cold afternoon air. I started my way up the street.

*~*

Finally I arrived at the little coffee. I opened the shops door and entered a warm habitat. I inhale the smell of coffee. I looked around, an old man was there and he was reading, there was also some lady on her phone. I looked around until I found Jason seating at a booth. As I got closer to him if felt nervous but mostly ashamed. He turned around and saw me, he immediately stood up. As I arrived to the booth he wrapped his arms around me, I reacted immediately and wrapped my arms around him. The warmth of his hug got to my soul and I felt like it was just another date, but it wasn't.

" I'm sorry " he whispers.

" If anyone should be sorry it should be me " I say as I put my arms back to my side and remember the moment that Jason found me kissing Dillion, on Valentine's day.

" No, your a girl that any boy would die to have... " he says avoiding eye contact with me, he looks nervous.

" No, I'm not, I'm the girl that- " I started but was interrupted by four surprising, shocking words.

"-I cheated on you " he says quickly and I was surprised that I heard him.

" What? " I ask as a back away a little from him. Tears filled my eyes. I had felt guilty for the past days and he cheated on me, how could he?

" I'm sorry, it was a mistake and...and...I told you because the guilts been killing me and-"

" Who? " I interrupted with a shaky voice and afraid of what he might say next. His eyes meet mine, they were filled with shame and one name came across my mind. Serena. By now tears were running down my cheeks.

" I love you..." he muttered as he wiped away my few tears with his hand. I shook my head.

" Tell me...it wasn't who I think it was " I ask as I look him in the eye. He removes his look from me and grabs my hand but I pull away. " Anyone but her Jason " I mutter.

" I'm sorry " he says as he puts his hands on my face to wipe away more tears. I pull away.

" For the past days the guilts been killing me...and you tell me this...how? My thing with Dillion was just a stupid bet but you? " I spat at him with anger. His blue eyes full of shame. More tears and more tears.
