Thursday and Friday all squished together in one blur. The only thing that actually stood out to me was when I got home Friday. Jackson had met me in my living room.

After I took my shoes off he started to talk. "So when did you and Isaac become so.. close?" He asked. I picked the shoes up and headed to my room to change.

"Umm" I said as I set my bag on the couch so I could do homework down here. "We've always been friends, we just became closer ya know, after what happened." When I got to my door I turned around, "Why?" I asked.

"No reason." He replied a little too quickly. I didn't respond, instead I just shut the door behind me and changed into more comfortable clothes. I opted for a pair of cloth shorts and an old tee-shirt from a math camp I went to a few years back, I decided wearing Jacksons old sweatpants would be a little too weird. When I opened the door back up he was still standing there. "I don't want you to date him." He said.

And that's when I knew something was up with Jackson, something had happened to him in London. "Well that's a strange request." I said, gliding past him to get down the steps.

He kept following me, which was incredibly irritating. "It's not a request; it's a good idea for your well-being." He said practically stepping on the back of my heels.

"Isaac's bad for my 'well-being' because...?" I said with a bit of sass and mocking him. "You're only staying here until the funeral and then you get to go back to London, so I don't see why you'd care when you're leaving in a few days.."

"Well that's the thing. My parents are thinking of coming back to Beacon Hills, they still own the house here anyways. I'd go back to Beacon Hills High, the lacrosse can't be doing much good without me, especially with McCall, Stilinski, and Lahey there. It had to have gone downhill after I left." He replied, well glad to know he didn't lose his cockiness.

I was shocked that his parents still owned there house, he must've still had keys with him. "Why are you staying here if you can stay at your old house?!" I screamed at him, why did he think he had the right to stay in my house and then question my every move.

"Now that you know, I guess I'll get my stuff to settle in at the old house, the one we're all going to move back into." He paused giving me an intense stare. As he headed up the stairs he turned his head back at me a said, "And one other thing you need to know, you're not going to date Isaac." I rolled my eyes as he headed up the steps.

The rest of the night passed by quickly, Jackson finally left me alone, Danny came over to help him move into the house, by now the news must've spread through the school. Mom wouldn't be home for a few more hours, she was putting in some over time. I decided to just eat one of the microwave dinners that were left in the freezer. After I finished eating I finished my chemistry lab from class today. I got a shower when everything was done and then turned on the tv in my room after I got dressed. There wasn't much else to do. I looked at my phone and everyone was freaking out about the Jackson coming back to school. I hadn't told anyone about the whole lecture I got from Jackson earlier; I decided to tell them tomorrow they had enough to deal with tonight.
