One Life {finished}

Thirteen: Yes?

It has been two weeks since Jason asked me to be his girlfriend and stupidly I haven't answered. He has been waiting and I'm taking my time feeling guilty for making him wait.

I hear a knock on my window. I walked to it and uncovered the curtains. Hopefully to see Jason standing there. He has been there everyday to check up on me. I looked up to see Derek. I closed the curtains and went back to sit on my bed.

"Caroline please! C'mon open up" I walked and open my window. I walked to my bed and Derek followed.

"Why wont you talk to me? Don't push me away Caroline. It hurts." "I'm sorry" "Just tell me why." "I...needed some space Derek." "Well that's all you had to say. You didn't have to push me away." He walked closer to me and caressed my cheek. I looked away. He picked up my chin in between his index finger and his thumb.

"C'mon we all know thats not true Caroline." "You're right I did need some space but I was with... uh with Jason." "You what?" "I was with Jason." "Whatever. You know... my parents found my biological parents and the didn't tell me who they're names are. Like it's so weird. I'm not angry nor sad. I would much rather die." "Don't say that Derek. You don't want to die. Just don't. Forget about it because we all need you. I need you Derek. Okay? You helped me." "I would rather kill myself right now. Im done going through this. My whole life was a lie."

"Don't say that Derek. Everything happens for a reason. There's always a rainbow. Just like you said." He nodded his head and I hold his cheeks and rubbed them softly with my thumbs. "Now tell me what about your biological parents" "They didn't tell me. They wanted it to be a surprise for me. For my birthday." "It's your birthday? Derek I didn't even..." "Yeah I know. Well I'm going to see them tomorrow." "Derek come with me." I pulled his hand and pulled him with me. I dragged him to my music room. Wow. I really haven't been in here for a while.

"What are we doing here" I turned around to look at him. "It's your birthday and I want to give you something." I picked up the guitar he first set his eyes on when we were last time in here.

"Here happy birthday Derek!!" "I can't take this" "Oh c'mon. You know you want it." He laughed and took the guitar. "Thank you so much Caroline" I hugged him and felt a wet spot on my shoulder. I hugged Derek tighter.

After Derek left I sat on my bed and recieved a text message. I checked on my phone and had 6 missed calls and 3 text messages. Well I'm popular today. I looked at the text messages. All from Jason

Hey

goodmorning beautiful :*

Wake up are you still asleep?

Goodmorning handsome. I was just with

Before I could send the text I saw Jason on my balcony. I went to open my window. He pulled me outside and wrapped his arms around me. One of his hands went to my cheek and he caressed it.

"Have you thought about it. You don't know how much I want to kiss you and finally have you as mine Caroline."

"Jason I...Yes " It's fine you know. I've always been denied. I never get what I want. So I understand that you said no. Just by looking at you though, I get what I need" I kissed him to shut him up. Doesn't he know I said yes. Our lips went in perfect sync. I've been waiting to taste his lips again. I've denied him but everytime I NEED him more. My arms wrapped around his neck and my hands tangled in his hair. I pushed him closer to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer if thats possible. I pulled away and sucked my lips to still taste him. I opened my eyes to see him smile ear to ear.

"You said yes!" "Yeah I did Jason" He hugged me and slowly put his lips to mine.

Ooh Jason and Caroline. Who do you think Derek's parents are?
