CHAPTER 1 : PART 2

The phone rang a few times then she heard him, so sweet, so peaceful, so innocent.

"Hey babe, what's up. I haven't heard from you in a while." Jackson got no reply.

"I. did. something. wrong" Annalisa took a breath between every word.

"Anna you need to calm down and tell me what happened I won't be mad.....I promise" he sounded so sincere, he heard a few deep breathes then...

"Somebody kissed me, but please let me tell you the whole story... please. I'm so, so ,sooo sorry"

Jackson started to tear up. "okay, i'll listen"

Annalisa told Jackson the whole story, but on Jacksons side if the line it was silent other than the occasional sniffles.

"Jackson I don't know what to do, I love you, but I feel really guilty."

There was a long silence between them. " Do what you think is best, I love you and I trust you, if you said it meant nothing I believe you." He sounded so comforting

"I don't wanna break up it meant nothing I promise, I love you."

"Okay, I love you too, but you need to go to the doctor do you want me to call your dad so he can come get you?"

"Yes."

Jackson hung up, Annalisa's dad took her to the doctor, se got two hard casts, one on her left wrist and on her right ankle. The Monday school started Annalisa went straight to Jacksons table to say hi. He heard her and whipped around instantly, he didn't look sweet, innocent, or peaceful.

"I'm done with you Annalisa, why'd you lie to me. I thought I could trust you, obviously I was wrong."

" What are you talking about, I told you the truth. Jackson I would never lie to you. I have no reason to."

Jackson looked straight into Annalisa's eyes, Annalisa could see the anger and sadness in his eyes.

"Anna don't give me that bullshit. Spring and Angel told me everything how you jump off the playground, then asked Michael to carry you and you begged him to make out with you."

Annalisa broke down into tears instantly knowing she lost her best friends and the love of her life, Jackson.
