It's been a few weeks since that little incident happened. Liam and I are happily still dating. The first few day were kinda awkward because he said I loved you and I kinda just closed the door on him. But soon he got over it. He told me when I was ready he'd be ready to.Jackson and I are on some what ok terms. He still kinda distant with me but I mean that's his problem. Caden still feels bad for dropping Marissa like that. He said that he told her something important and hoped she wouldn't tell anybody. It's currently the end of school and I'm heading home it's actually Friday. I'm so glad it's the weekend I've had a long week of tiredness and laziness. Once I got home I made my way to my room. My mother had left for another business trip so I was left Alone. It was all quiet until I heard my phone go off.
(Via text message)
Jackson🙃- Can we talk please.
Me-Um sure where do you wanna meet?
Jackson🙃- Can you just come to my place?
Me- Sure I'll be right over.
I got up from my comfortable bed and went downstairs and made my way towards Jackson house. I wondered what he wanted to talk about. It knew it probably had something to do with Liam and I maybe he wanted to apologize who knows.
Knock
"Carter"
"Jackson"
Fun fact I've actually never been to Jackson house. I know crazy but it's true so once I walked in he showed me around. It was your average home. There was a living room that connected with the kitchen. Then his parents room that connected to his father office. Then upstairs was his room and the guest room there was also a game room. I liked his house it felt comforting. We were currently in his room. Once he was done showing me around we made it back to his room.
"So what did you wanna talk about?" I ask
"Um you know stuff" he says and sits on his bed.
"Ok what happened?"I sigh and sit by him
"It's Marissa she told me stuff" he says
I let out a small chuckle
"Like What?" I ask
"Like stuff that's..I don't know I guess secret..she told me that Caden had told her some stuff and she wasn't supposed to tell anyone but she told me" he says
"Well what did she says.." I ask
"She said..I mean she could be lying..you know what she was probably lying so I'm not gonna waste my breath" he says and let's out a small chuckle and gets up.
"No Jackson tell me..maybe she knows about something Caden isn't telling me" I say
"Carter..she was lying" he says
"Maybe she wasn't..just tell me"
"Carter...it was about your father and how..." he says
"What? Jackson just tell me" I say
"She said that his mother and your father slept together a few times before his death and that one reason he died is because he didn't wanna face you and your mother when y'all found out" he says and sighs
"What" I say
"Carter I'm sorry..maybe it's not even true" he says reassuring me
I start to feel tears form. No don't cry Carter. She was lying..Caden would've told me right?
"This is what he's been keeping from me" I say
"This is why is his family didn't come to my fathers funeral" I say
"Carter"
"It's true..." I say.
I feel my tears start to fall. I couldn't help it. I know it's true.
"Maybe it's not" he says
"Jackson listen to yourself.. your the one telling the lie. Marissa wasn't lying. Caden had told me that he told him something secret to her and that's it." I say realizing that this is all true.
"Carter..l-'' I cut him off
"Marissa..I need to talk to her" I say and start to run downstairs
"Carter wait" Jackson says catching up to me
"What?!" I stop and turn back
"It's true..don't go to Marissas house she left town." He says
"Fine then I'll go to Caden's" I says and start to walk to my car
"Wait Carter" he says stopping me again
"Jackson if your trying to cover for Caden it isn't working I'm gonna go see him right now" I say
"Ok ok but let me go with you" He says
"Well them come on" I say and rush to my car.
He gets into the passenger side and I speed off.
My biggest emotion right now was disappointment. I tried my hardest telling myself it was a lie. But it might just be true.
Once we reached his house I ran to his door. Jackson was right behind me. I started to knock. Then the door suddenly opens
"Carter..Jackson what are you going here?" He ask
"I don't maybe you could tell me!" I say with attitude
"Tell you what?"
"I knew I should've of trust you..how you could lie to me. How could you not tell me." I say
"Carter what are you talking about?" He says
"Caden I know about your mother and my father." I say
And how eyes go wide. You can see they are starting to fill up with tears. How could my best friend do this to me.
"Carter" he says and try's to grab my hand but I quickly move it away
"Don't...how could you lie to me..how long have you known?!" I say and my tears start to fall.
"I've known for 3 years. I'm sorry Carter.." he says
"Sorry don't help in this situation Caden"
"Please Carter don't do this" he says. His tears slowly falling down his cheek.
"Caden how could you lie to me for so many years?" I say
"Carter I'm sorry..please you have to forgive me Carter I'm sorry" he says. His tears falling faster.
"Caden you were my best friend..And best friends tell each other everything." I say
"I know and I messed up I'm sorry"
"Did you really think I wasn't gonna find out" I say
He looks down. Wow. Best friend of the year goes to Caden. The most loyal person I knew. Or well at least I thought.
"Wow Caden..I cant believe you" I say
"Carter please"
"You have caused me so much pain Caden you don't even know. You have pushed this knife in my back farther then it needed it to be. Why?! You couldn't you have just saved me so much pain and told me when you found out?!" I ask
"WHY?!"
"Carter I-''
"Stop apologizing...IT WONT FIX ANYTHING..YOU'VE RUINED OUT FRIENDSHIP..IT CANT BE FIX ANYMORE" I say raising my voice.
"Carter please" he says and gets closer but I move back
"Stop Caden...you've done enough these past years..and now it's time for you to stop...our friendship will never be the same..you were my happiness and now your my sadness..I look at you and see disappointment I look at you and see the person I trusted that lied to me for years. I don't think I can live with that Caden..I thinks it's best if you and I stop being friends" I say
And at this point all hell broke lose.
