nineteen / last chapter

one year after trial

"It's time for a change" Jack says walking from the kitchen into the living room plopping down next to me.

"What do you mean?" I ask pausing the movie that's currently playing on the screen.

"I want to move out of this town. Leave my past behind me and start over. Somewhere where no one knows that I was convicted of killing someone then a year later became un-guilty."

"Where would you move to?" I ask now scared hoping he isn't trying to tell me we can't be together anymore.

"You mean we."

"What about Joe and my job?" I ask loving the idea, but not wanting to leave my best friend.

"We've already talked. He is coming with. There's two flats that are in the same building that are for rent" Jack explains making my nerves calm down a bit.

"I'll do it then" I say smiling up at him.

"Do I deserve a kiss then?" Jack asks making me roll my eyes.

"I'll think about it" I reply. He pulls me on top of his lap facing me towards him. He lays his forehead against mine and leans in when the doorbell rings. "I'll get it" I say jumping up knowing Jack is annoyed by whoever is on the other side. I open the door and see Caspar standing there. "Caspar?" I ask surprised since it's been a while we've last seen one another.

"Sorry it's been so long. After everything happened I went and stayed with my mom for a little bit back in South Africa" He replies not making eye contact with me.

"You're still my best friend, Casp."

"I know. I just wish we stayed friends so I could still have him in my life. When you see him tell him I'll be here to talk if he wants to. Also, that I still consider him as my best friend."

"I will Caspar. If you need anything call and I'll let you know where we moved to" I say bringing him into a hug.

"I will. Love you Kas" He says pulling away.

"Love you too Casp" I reply and he makes his way back towards the street. I watch until he walks out of sight and I go back into the house closing the door behind me.

"He really misses him doesn't he?" Jack asks meeting me at the door.

"They both do, but it didn't work. Nothing nobody can fix" I say pulling out my phone and texting Joe.

"Can I have my kiss now?" Jack asks as I put my phone back in my pocket.

"Nah" I answer making me start to walk towards me. Knowing I can't run away I back up against the wall. He interlocks our hands together and leans in connecting his lips to mine. Letting go he looks at me with a smirk telling me he won. "You're lucky you're cute."

"You know that was the day that made me like you even more than I already did" Jack replies.

"Are you trying to say it was love at first sight?" I ask making us both chuckle.

"No. I thought you were annoying as fuck at first" Jack says making me hit him in the chest. "I'm just joking, but you are annoying."

"And you're a dick."

"So we're perfect for each other" Jack says kissing me once again. "I never have actually told you, but thanks for believing in me."

"Your welcome" I respond making him shake his head.

"You aren't taking me seriously."

"No I'm not" I reply making him roll his eyes. "Hey! That's my thing. You can't take that" I say and he rolls his eyes again. "You're a butthole."

"You still love me though."

"Debatable" I say making him hold his hand to his chest in offence.

"Well" He replies making me pull him back into me. I give him a peck on the lips then lay my head on his chest listening to his heartbeat.

"I do really love you" I say as he places his chin on the top of my head.

"I do really love you too" Jack answers hugging me tighter.
