Chapter 48

"Hey, is something wrong?" I ask Jackson. Why does he look so sad? He looked fine when I last saw him.

"Umm no," he quickly says eyeing my luggage. "I'm glad you packed we're leaving for Vegas tomorrow."

"Oh, I thought we were gonna stay in Virginia for a few more days."

"No, we have to leave as soon as possible. I was gonna talk to everyone about this."

"What happened? You look upset. I thought you were happy the last time I saw you."

"Can we talk about this later." He trails on avoiding my curious eyes.

One moment he's hot then he's cold. One moment he makes me feel like I'm the most important thing in the world now I feel like he doesn't want to see me.

"No!" I demand. "What's going on with you. Is it because I'm gonna be sleeping in your hotel room? Didn't you say wanted me to stay with you tonight?"

"It's complicated."

"Does this has something to do with what you wanted to tell me the other night? What's going on Jackson? You can tell me."

"I'll tell you after the meeting." He says trying to close the door. He's not gonna leave me like this without explaining anything again.

I stick my foot in the doorway before he can close it "I'm not leaving until you tell me!" I demand.

Jackson opens the door. "Fine," Jackson opens the door for me to enter. I grab my bags and leave them in the doorway.

Jackson takes a seat at the table and motions for me to sit to. I take a seat across from Jackson.

"So why are you acting so weird?"

"Because I realized we can't be together Brooklyn."

"What! What changed in the last hour? We were just fine." I shout.

"I realized something." He says

"Realized what? Realized you just wanted to fuck me?"

"No!" He says quickly, "it wasn't that. It's just we can't be together Brooklyn."

"Why?" I ask. "Are you married?"

"No," He says quickly.

"Are you dying?"

"No."

"What's wrong then."

"Alessio," He says to me frown on his face.

Alessio? What does this have to do with Alessio? He's dead and how does Jackson even know about him?

"I knew Alessio."

I run towards a nearby knife and point it towards Jackson.

There have been so many people who's tried to attack me because of Alessio.

"You can put the knife down Brooklyn." He says to me.

"You know Alessio? How?" I say still holding the knife tightly.

"He was my best friend."

"What? You're lying. Alessio and I were together for two years and I've never heard of you before.

"I understand why he didn't like to talk about me. It causes problems when people know whose close to people like us."

"Did you know who I was before the mission?"

Jackson nods his head. So was this a big joke? A ploy to see if he can sleep with his best friends girl?

"So was this all a joke to you? Helping me with my mom? Saving my life?"

"No!" He yells, "I really do have feelings for you Brooklyn."

"You're lying! You're an asshole. You thought it would be fun to sleep with your best friends girl after he died."

"I care about you," he says.

"Bullshit! If you cared about me at all you would have told me sooner."

"I thought about this a lot Brooklyn and I can't be with you. I've been fighting my urges and last night when I saw your smile and your laugh I just... I just couldn't take it anymore."

"How long have you known about me?"

"Since that day you two met at the library. He called and told me everything that happened between you two. Hell, I helped him pick out the engagement ring."

He's known about me this long?

"Why aren't you trying to kill me then?" If I killed his so-called best friend. Why is he being so nice to me?

"Because before he died. He told me to protect you, Brooklyn. He told me to watch over you if anything happened to you?"

"You have a weird way of doing that. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I didn't know how." I put the knife down. This is too much. Jackson lied to me about how he knew me.

"Brooklyn," He says walking towards me. "Our relationship isn't right. I love Alessio, he was the closest thing to a brother, I could ever have. So it's only right for me to stay away from you. He loved you so much and I did that with you. Shit... Brooklyn, it can't happen again."

"So that's it then," I say looking up to him. "You make me fall for you. Then you kiss me and fuck me. Then leave me hours later?"

"I'm sorry," he says.

"I don't want to see you again," I say to him. "After this is all over. I don't want any contact with you whatsoever."

"I understand." He says to me.

I pick up my bags and walk out of his hotel room.

I'm speechless, Jackson and Alessio were best friends? Why haven't I ever met him? Why didn't Alessio mention him?

He never talked about any friends of his. I just assumed he didn't have any.

Alessio after death you're still causing a stir in my love life.

Knocking on my door Jace opens it and has a huge smile in his face.

I met him with a scowl before he can open his mouth. "Don't start," I say pushing past him.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter! It's really short sorry.

I actually really really hate this chapter. I need to edit this chapter thoroughly.

But did you expect that! What did you think Jackson was hiding?

I hope you all have an amazing day, night, evening and afternoon.
