RollerCoaster Ride.

Chapter 7

I woke up at 5:30 to get ready .

Decided on a floral print skirt , pink short tshirt , and white lace toms .

I wanted to curl my hair so that took a while , and after I was finished getting ready , I hurried down my stairs to grab a quick piece of toast and headed back upstairs to apply my makeup.

Light concealer, heavy mascara, and a quick swipe of my black as night eyeliner.

Jaxon insisted on picking me up and taking me to school this morning.

He said so in a couple text messages I received at about 2 am this morning.

He has a sleeping problem and tends to not be able to fall asleep.

I dialed his number to wish him a "Good Morning" and to tell him that I'm running a little late this morning.

After about the fourth ring, Jaxon answered with a simple "Gooooood morning, Beautiful. You're running late huh??"

"Yeah. I'm sorry Ja--- Babe..."

"Hey, no sweat Baby. I'll still be there early, so TRY and get ready faster," he added a slight laugh at the end.

"You're distracting me!" I laughed even harder at my own words than I should have.

"Funny... It's normally the other way around," I could practically HEAR him wink through the phone.

"See you soon, Handsome. *MWAH* Bye."

What was that Carlee?

Oh gosh.

I hurried to grab all of my LATE homework scattered across my room and NEATLY placed it in my backpack.

I was afraid to face the day because just the day before, I had skipped.

I really did NOT feel like going to school today but I don't think Jaxon would skip with me again.

I am pretty sure I have enough credits to graduate as is.

I could walk out of that school, diploma in hand, TODAY.

I couldn't....

I don't even have a college picked out.

Oh well.....

"I don't feel so good.... :("

I sent him the text message, left my phone upstairs, and went to talk to my dad about staying home.

"Room for two in that house of yours??"

I got a text from my best friend, Sam.

She was always here for me.

Boys, Breakups, and Losing People.

"Obviously. That's WHY David is here." David being my younger brother.

Only by 5 years though.

"I'm gonna come over then??"

"Maybe later. Gotta go. Bye Best Friend," I ended the text with a simple heart emoji, and went to go change into Jaxon's sweats, his old sweatshirt I kept from our first 'Bestfriend Sleepover,' and put my hair in a ponytail.

"Be there in 5, SweetCheeks." I laughed at the use of that horrendous petname.. but decided not to text back.

I turned netflix on and started watching Season 3 of the Walking Dead.

They had just found the prison and Lori was about to have her baby.

*BEEP BEEP*

I heard my phone go off as I realized I left it on the dresser.

I groaned as I went to retrieve my phone and realized the text was from Jaxon.

"May I come in??"

"Always Love"

And with that, I heard the front door open, close, and heard my dad pull out of the drive way.

He's going to work??

Hm....

My bedroom door opened and Jaxon walked in, wearing his sweats and a muscle tank.

He is quite the attractive fella.

Tall, about 6'5", black hair, long, just the way I like it, and bright blue eyes.

He hopped onto the opposite side of my bed, pulled me closer, and watched Netflix with me, every ten minutes asking if I wanted anything to drink or eat.

"No thank you," was just about every answer I gave except for one time when I really craved Orange Juice so he brought me juice in a bottle with a straw and held it for me so all I had to do was drink.

"You're perfect, you know..." he whispered.

"Why the whisper??" I asked...

"You heard that? I thought you were asleep. Well, you're perfect. From your head down to your toes, absolutely perfect. Perfection at its finest. God knew what he was doing when he made you and I don't understand why in the world such a perfect girl like you is with a guy like me.... I'm," he started tearing up,"I'm a mess, Carlee.... You deserve so much better...."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop!" I sat up, forcing him to aswell.

"You are perfect, Jaxon. You are all I could possibly ask for and I'm so lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend like you. You're my everything... and even though we have only been together for about a week, it feels like a lifetime."

"A week? Carlee, I've been in love with you since before I can even remember. And I will not deny myself the pleasure of saying that I AM in love with you. Every single thing about you, makes me the happiest man alive. If you ask me, we've been together for about 7 months."

"Well, you FINALLY asked me out a week ago today. SOOOOOO, it's only been a week... Wait... You're ..... in love with me?"

"Yes. Now, you don't have to say it back, but I am in love with you and I won't deny myself the simple pleasure of loving you."

"How do I even respond?" I questioned.

"You don't," and with that, he kissed me.
