I am Widow

Chapter 53

Two days later

"I want to see him," I say to Jessica. We are lunching outside the school in the pretty green grass. Summer is almost here.

"I know, it's almost Saturday."

Jessica puts her golden locks into a high pony tail and looks at me, "Do you think he will be able to walk when he wakes up?"

"I hope there's a chance," I say.

"Okay, here are some burritos and tacos!" James exclaims.

All the guys except Mike sit down with us, (Mike is out for the day).

I get a burrito and start to eat. Jackson sits on my right and James on my left.

"What were you guys talking about?" James asks.

"Nothing new, we were wondering about Paul," Jessica answers.

Garrett sighs, "Why didn't he tell us anything? About his disorders?"

Turns out, everyone discovered Paul disorders thanks to James. He was trying to explain to everyone what happened so he needed to tell the truth about Paul's health.

"I didn't even know," Jackson say, "I think he just didn't want to worry anyone."

"No, he just wanted to be normal," I say. I turn to Jackson, "He felt like a freak having all of those disorders. He didn't want for people to be judging him constantly."

Jackson takes a bite of his taco and looks at me, "Maybe, he is the one who knows why he didn't want anyone to know."

"Look, he will tell us when he is better," James says, "For now, let just enjoy this calm moment."

We all nod and continue our day.

Jackson walks me to my class. "Hey, Widow, can you please consider my offer?"

"I am Paul's girlfriend. I cant never be yours and I want this child to be with Paul and me."

I know I kissed him and told him I love him but I can't be with him!

"I have class as well as you; we talk later," I say.

....

JACKSON POV:

School finally ends, I go walking to my car.

"Jackson,"

I turn around and see Jessica jogging towards me.

"What up?" I ask.

"Can we talk? I am feeling so down," she says.

"Jess, I don't really want to talk right now. I need to clear my head, sorry."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you," Jessica says.

"It's okay, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be mean, it just I don't want Widow to see us. I also don't want to use you in any way."

She touches my cheek, "You didn't use me Jackson. It was a random moment that was a mutual. I feel so bad as well but I cant tell her."

I get her hand, "I destroy everything Jessica. I will hate myself if I destroy your friendship with Widow."

She gets her hand and hugs it tight against her chest. "You didn't destroy it; I did. It was my dumb decision to do it with you."

I see Rachel coming from the corner of my eye. I tell Jessica to wait for me inside my car. I give her my car keys and she goes.

I approach Rachel and she gets surprised. "Hey Jackson, are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, just wondering if you saw me picking my nose," I randomly say.
