And So It Continues...(SEQUEL TO I FOUND YOU) *ON HOLD*

Chapter 21

Chapter 21

It’s now after my show ended, Jackson came the last night and gave me flowers. And Mickey and I have been talking more.

    We were just getting back from shopping, “Hey, there’s my two favorite girls.” Kendall smiled as we walked into the kitchen. “Oh, did you just forget Caitlynn?” Mickey asks, jokingly offended. “Just like you did me?” I say, adding in a funny little guilt trip. Mickey laughs and high-fives me. “You two think you’re so funny.” Kendall chuckled.

   We were all having dinner together, so the baby-sitter brought Caitlynn over. She’s a quiet kid, most 4 year olds are talking like crazy, but she doesn’t say a word.

         Basically, I’m just updating you on shit that’s been going on.

   Anyway, Mickey, dinner, show ending, Jackson being normal again. The rumor disappeared again. But people still look at me weird.

     Right now it’s the beginning of April. Jackson called me and told me to go over to his house, so Kendall drove me. “Call me when you need to be picked up sweetie.” He said as I got out of the car. I nodded my head and went inside.

    “Hey babe, sit.” Jackson said as I walked in. we sat down on the couch. He sounded a bit monotone. “What’s up? You’re scaring me…” I say, sitting on the edge of the couch. “I’m going on tour again, you have people obviously trying to tear to down at school, and I’m not with you as much as I should be. Some people are okay with estranged relationships, but I’m not. And I love you but, you deserve someone your age that you can keep up with.” He says, placing a hand on my knee.

 At that, my world went crashing down. “So you’re saying you want to break up because you’re insecure about our relationship?” I ask, sounding dead. “No, no, no. I don’t want you to be hurt worse than you were last month when I didn’t talk to anybody. It’s just best for you.” Jacksons’ voice cracked. I stood up and walked over to the door. “Wait,” Jackson went over to me and kissed me one more time. “I love you, and if God wants us to be together later, then it’ll happen.” He practically whispered. I shook him off and opened the door and left.

                I texted Kendall to come get me, and I waited on the curb.

“Hey, that was quick.” Kendall said as I got into the car. My face was still stone cold. “T..is everything okay?” Kendall stopped driving a bit down the road. “No.” I managed to choke out. “He broke up with you didn’t he?” Kendall asks, pissed. I just nod. “Keep driving.” I whisper and continue to look straight forward. I feel like, if I move too much or talk too loud, I’ll lose it.

       Mickey was there when we got home. I went straight up to my room. “Tess, just talk to me!” Kendall pleaded, yelling up the stairs.

Kendall’s POV

   “I want to strangle every last bit of air out of him.” I growl, pacing back and forth in the livingroom. “Cool it there killer. She didn’t even tell you why he broke up with her yet. Don’t get all violent on me now.” Mickey gets a little sarcastic. “This is what I get for letting her date an 18 year old. I should’ve gone with my gut and said no. but then she would’ve been angry with me – and we all know how long she can hold a grudge – but that’s better than her being all sad and emotionless now!” I rant, pacing faster.

    Mickey stands up. “Kendall. Francis. Schmidt. Get a hold of yourself.” She grabs me by the shoulders to stop me. I take a deep breath and get all of the anger out of me. “Do you need me to talk to her?” Mickey asks. I shake my head no. “I’ll do it.” I say and walk upstairs.

Tessa’s POV

   I was in my room, dead silent. No tears, no rage, nothing. I sat on my bed with my arms crossed, staring at the picture of Jackson and I on my dresser across the room.

        I heard a knock on my door. “Hey…uh…T, can I come in?” Kendall asks awkwardly. I didn’t answer. He waited, and I didn’t open the door. Kendall did. “I’m probably the last person you’ll want to talk to about this, but….tell me what happened.” He said gently and sat on the bed next to me.

   It took me a minute, but I did it. “He broke up with me because he didn’t want to hurt me more because he couldn’t be around as much. And that I should date someone my age. But I guess it’s my fault for deciding to go out with someone 4 years older than me who, at the same time, is a singer and tours and stuff..” I whisper. I haven’t cried and I refuse to cry over this. I’ve been through tougher shit than this, though it comes close. “T, it’s his fault for letting you walk out that door. And,” Kendall dragged out the ‘and’. “It’s partially my fault for letting you date him, but we won’t get into that.” He chuckled. I nodded my head and stayed silent. “If you want, I could kick Mickey out and we could have a movie day. We haven’t had one since before Christmas.” He said softly. “No. I want to be alone.” I then curled up in my bed and tried to ignore the world. That was soon ruined.

     “Tessie...Tessie, wake up.” Caitlynn shook me. I looked at the clock, 5pm. I slept for 3 hours. “What’s up?” I ask, groggily sitting up and pulling her onto the bed. “Why are you sad?” she asked in her 4 year old voice. “Who told you?” I groan. “I heard mommy and Kendall talking about you. Mommy feels bad and Kendall is mad at Jackson.” She said. I sigh. “I won’t give you all the details but – avoid boys as much as possible until you’re older.” I giggle at the face she made. “Boys are icky!” she yells with a disgusted look. “So, did Kendall send you up here?” I ask, still giggling. “No. I asked where you were and he said here. So I woke you up because ain’t nobody got time to wait for you.” She said, trying to sound like that video. I laughed more and wondered at the same time who taught her that. Definitely not Kendall.

     “Cait, we gotta go! Grammy is cooking us dinner!” Mickey yelled from the front door. Caitlynn quickly jumped up and left.

      Right after, Kendall came in and lay down next to me. “You feelin any better? You slept for three hours.” He chuckled. “Yeah, I guess.” I said quietly. “Look at it this way, you can date that Adam kid, even though Anna will kill you if you do.” He says lightly. I turn to him and hit him with a pillow while giggling. “You’re gonna get me killed!” I screech. “Psht, if she knows me, she’ll know not to go within ten feet of you,” he paused. “Now come on, I made food.” He got up and left.

“I don’t need Jackson, I don’t need Jackson, I don’t need Jackson…”
