CARLEES POV & TIME JUMP

"Oh Carlee, the apartment is beautiful," my dad said eagerly.

"Thanks Dad, but I've been here for a month already."

"And I haven't had the time to come up here!"

"Alright, alright," and I hugged my dad right after saying that.

Even with a shaky history, he and I still maintain that good father-daughter relationship everyone wishes they had.

My dad and David were leaving in about an hour and I was actually okay with that.

I needed some time to study and be alone.

Jaxon hasn't called or texted me once.

I made the wrong decision but I couldn't care less.

I know he's gonna go far and I was holding him back.

*LATER THAT NIGHT, AFTER HER FAMILY LEFT***

I started thinking about Jaxon and I couldn't help the flashbacks that were rolling in one after the other.

"C'mon. ONE smile, Baby," he laughed as he was trying to get me to take a picture for his phone's wallpaper.

"No. This is the best you're getting," and I made the worst face I possibly could.

"I'll take it," he winked and clicked a couple buttons on his phone and showed me his ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC wallpaper.

"Delete. That. Now. Jaxon Dylan Lux."

"How about we don't?" he winked and KNEW he was making me mad.

I leapt across the couch and grabbed his phone, ran upstairs, locked his bedroom door and tried to unlock his phone.

Remembering that night brought tears to my eyes.

Flashback after flashback after flashback later I decided that I need him.

He and I are meant to be.

He's my prince.

"Happy Birthday Carlee!!!!" 5 year old Jaxon walked in my front door, missing his two front teeth but still smiled as big as he could.

"Thanks Jaxon!!" I ran over and hugged him, after grabbing his present of course.

*LATER THAT NIGHT*

"Happy Birthday dear Carleeeeeeeee, Happy Birthday to you," and with that, he shoved my face in my own birthday cake!

"You ruined my cake!!!" I said while laughing my head off.

"I'm sorry," he kissed my cheek and I saw the flash go off in the corner of my eye.

"DADDDD!" I yelled while he started laughing.

My dad had stuffed that picture in one of my old photo albums and I found it just now, along with many other pictures of Jaxon.

I found a note in the back of the scrapbook and had to read it.

"My beautiful daughter,

I can see it in your eyes how much you love this boy.

You need to go after him.

Don't let him go because you think that maybe he deserves a bright future and all.

He NEEDS you.

His mother said that he's been drinking again.

Do what you feel is right Honey.

-Your Father.

PS ; I love you (: "

I grabbed my coat and ran towards my front door, grabbing my car keys off of my counter on the way out.

I needed him. So bad. So I decided, I'm going after him. I'm gonna beg him to take me back.

I opened the front door and the first thing I did was drop my jaw.

"Jaxon?"
