Story of My Life

Chapter 15: The Lake House and Waterfall

Someone knocked on the door late that night but I didn't answer it if it was Jack he would've said something so it must've been my grandma or grandpa. I fell asleep for an hour and woke up. I saw a note half way in my door then read it it said "Astrid, look we know you wanted to get away from Henry and I fighting but, look I still love you and he has feelings for you but, I can't tell if their good or bad okay. Yes, Henry and I fight but, look I am willing to fight for you know matter what there ain't know way I'm loosing you to know bloodsucking prince okay even though I'm a bloodsucker too. The point is I want us to be alone for a bit at least to get you and me time like we use to like from two months ago. If you want meet me at the big waterfall over by the lake tonight at eleven.
 I hope to see you, I love you. ~Jack" This is different from the Jack I knew Jack would never do this Jack would usually just walk into my room or text me. And Henry would just send one of his guards to get me but, I had to know why he actually sent the note. I got dressed and started walking toward the lake where the full moon reflects beautifully on the lake. When Jack and I were younger we use to take trips to my grandparents house with my parent. Each night we would sneak out and go midnight swimming alone. But, one night he fell asleep in his room and I didn't know... I though he'd left already for the lake so I jumped into the lake and something grabbed hold of my leg, I couldn't tell what it was but, it was a night like this and by time Jack realized I was gone it was almost to late for me. I had to go to the hospital that night and stayed for six days recovering. I finally, got to the lake and there he was Jack was in his white tank top and black shorts, he smiled as I walked over to him and once I reached him he said "even in a oversize tee shirt and jeans you look amazing." I blushed a little... okay not a little a lot actually. Silence fell down and then I said "why did you leave a note half way under my door?" Jack looked at me weird then, said "what note I never left you a note. I just left my room like twenty minutes ago to get fresh air out here." I took the note out of my pocket then looked at the hand writing then said "I knew there was something weird you usually just come and get me or text me when you want me. This isn't even your hand writing. Who's is it?" I heard laughing coming from the north side of the lake who ever it was it seemed like they got whatever they wanted though. I remembered there was one other person that still had feelings for me my ex boyfriend... Carter. He knew about Henry and Jack but, he got in a fight with both of them a long time ago. Jack and Henry are both vampires but Carter is a werewolf. After looking at the note a second time I recognized the hand writing... yep it was Carter's. Carter and I go back until the first grade when we were the best of friends.  In the summer every year (this is before I met Jack) his and my family would go the the lake house that my family owned right next door to my grandparents. My family and his family use to share the bill on the lake house but we ceded it a couple years ago to Carter's family.
