Title - Truth

Layla's POV

"I'm ready to tell you the truth, Layla," Jackson said.

"Jackson...." I said disappointed it was him. "Layla just hear me out," Jackson said.

I tried to close the door but his foot stopped it.

"Just. Hear. Me. Out. Ok?" Jackson said. "Ugh fine you have ten minutes." I said.

I let him in and we sat down on my couch.

"So what do you want to know?" Jackson said. "I want to know why were you trying to ruin my graduation!?" I said.

"What do you mean!?" Jackson said. "You ruined my dress, you embarrassed me in front of the whole school, and you lied to me." I said.

"I didn't mean to ruin your dress you just fell when I pulled you cause I wanted to know why you were mad at me. I also said all of those mean things because I was frustrated and mad. After I said all of that I knew it was wrong. I regret saying that stuff so much. I'm sorry!" Jackson said.

"Next thing! Do you like me?" I asked. "Where would you get an idea like that?!" Jackson said.

His voice was very shaky. "You said you loved me you always have," I said. "When?" Jackson asked.

"When I was drunk at my party. You protect me because you love me. You act like you know it all because you like me. You try to make me jealous cause you like me. And you stand up for me because you like me." I said.

"Um..... " Jackson said speak less. "How do you know that?" He said confused.

"I can tell." I said. "Oh...." Jackson said.

"Ok next. This is the one where I need the complete truth and ONLY the truth!" I said.

"What?" Jackson asked. I looked at him. Beads of sweat was dripping down his forehead.

It wasn't hot inside my apartment. It was actually pretty cold.

"What is the big lie?" I asked. He looked really guilty. He was acting like he was confused. "What big lie?" He said.

I could hear him breathing hard. "Is it hot in here?" Jackson said starting to shake.

"It is 58°F in here. I should really turn up the heater." I said.

"Oh...." Jackson said. "What is the lie that you have been lying about your whole life." I said. My face was completely serious.

"Please don't get mad. Oh who am I kidding you are going to be so mad!" Jackson said. He kelp on talking about why he kelp the secret from me and why did he do it.

He started acting suspicious. I slowly pulled a phone behind me hiding it behind my back.

"Um so basically. Um. I. My family! Uh. Uh. Ok here goes nothing. MY FAMILY MURDERED YOUR PARENTS!" Jackson said.

I was shocked. I was angry. I was sad. I wanted to kill the living hell out of him!

"WHAT!?" I screamed the loudest I have ever screamed. "So you are mad?" Jackson said with a shaky voice.

"AM I MAD!? YOU FREAKING KILLED MY PARENTS IM NOT MAD!? IM FURIOUS!? IM THE MADDEST IVE EVER BEEN! YOU KILLED MY PARENTS WHEN I WAS SIX YEARS OLD! WHY!? I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!?" I screamed.

"Just let me explain!" Jackson said. "I CANT TRUST YOU WITH ANYTHING!" I said. "I regret it now! I was convinced into it! By my mother! I'll explain it all why if you just hear me out!" Jackson said.
