The sun rays falling on me indicating the morning.
I couldn't sleep properly last night. The words from Jackson's mouth were repeating. It was like it's been  recorded.
He's childhood bestfriend. JUSTIN. 17.7.2003. Murder.

All these things. It's just too much to take in. Soo many years' I've tried everything in me to forget about that murder. The murder that asshole did when he kidnapped me. And finally when i was able to forget. It came back in full speed. Atleast he shouldn't have been Jackson's bestfriend. Anyway my thinking is not gonna help me so i better go get ready.

I went to the washroom had a shower and everything else. Then came out, dried my hair. I put on a black crop top with a white pant. And lastly applied lipgloss and mascara. I looked at the mirror, there were light dark circles under my eyes. But who cares. With a confident smile i went downstairs.

Downstairs, my mom, uncle mac were laughing and cooking l. And on the dining table, to my surprise was mason and Jackson sitting on the table both talking about their soccer match while having their breakfast. And alice on the other hand was having her breakfast and scrolling through something on her sell phone.
I wished everyone good morning and sat down on the table next to alice.
Jackson looked at me and smiled. I smiled back.

"slept well sweety?" my mom asked me. She gave me a bowl full of cereals. I started eating it when suddenly out if the blue jackson spoke up.

"are you coming to the soccer match tonight?" he asked me.

What is there a soccer match tonight?
Uh-huh. I need to catch up on my studies. I haven't been to school. Nor borrowed notes from anyone. And my tests are coming up next week. So i guess i won't be going.

"uh. No i have to catch up on my studies" i said

"you should come"he pushed again.

What's with him and all his 'nice-ness' towards me?

"yeah you should emsy. You'll have fun" mas said.

"I'll think about it."  i said. Jackson nodded.

After finishing up the breakfast we left. When we were out Jackson spoke up.

"angelface you can drive with me... If you want" he said.

"uh...?"

What's with him and asking questions out of the blue?

"yeah. Me and alcy we'll drive" mas said.
I had no other choice but to drive with him.

I nodded and he gave me a wink.

After he was done wearing his gloves and helmet, he passed on a helmet for me to wear. He sat on his bike, i too sst behind him. He started driving. Like he usually does, in full speed af he's going to loose his flight if he drives any slower.
But the most surprising thing is, that am getting used to it.

Not even a few minutes later he stopped by a café.

"a coffee madame?" he asked in a very fake British accent. And it suits him. I giggled and nodded and then he bow his head down with one hand below his head and another to his side in the air.

"after you madame" he said with the same accent.
I nodded and went inside, Jackson following close behind me.
When we stepped inside, a cool breeze invited us. Inside i could only smell of coffee and i now am craving for a coffee.
I ordered mocha with cream on it. And Jackson ordered an black coffee.

We both sat down on the chair's. The silence filling in the air. Jackson spoke breaking the silence.

"so how are you feeling" he asked me with a slight guilt covering his voice.

"uh yeah. Good." i said nodding my head in agreement of my own answer.

He nodded. He cleared his throat and shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

"are you okay?" i asked confused as to why suddenly he's acting so weird.

"uh. Yeah. Yeah"  he said.

What is happening to him.
"what are you doing tonight? . I mean. Ar-are you free tonight?" he asked unsure of what he's saying.

Why on the universe would he ask me that if am free tonight?

"yeah i guess. But why?" i asked confusion lacing my voice.

"uh.." he says scratching back of his head and looking away.

I rose my eyebrows at him when he looked at me.

"uh will you stop looking at me like that" he said in  irritation.

Woah. Ok.  Now what?

"ok. But why are you acting so weird?"

"will you go out with me?" he said suddenly.

Whaaaat?
