-Chapter 30-

JACKSON'S POV

"Ava come on!" I groaned, as she fell back onto her bed, closing her eyes. She shook her head and snuggled back into her pillow.
"Don't u want your surprise?" I asked, smirking. She sighed.
"The last surprise u gave me was bringing Payton to me, nothing could ever top that." She said smiling at the thought. But she had no idea. I laughed and walked over to her, slowly slipping hands under her arms and legs and picking her up bridal style.
"Jackson!" She squealed. I chuckled and walked to the door before turning off the lights and walking out. Ava had no idea what was going on, and I intended to keep it that way for now. We were meeting Payton at his house soon. Since Ava has no idea what his house looks like we figured it would work best. I made her pack her bags this morning and get ready cause we were going to 'drive a little more' and 'stay somewhere better'.
She obviously didn't suspect a thing and went along with it.

<<<<>>>>

We just got into the Uber that was taking us to Payton's house. I'm not ready. I don't know why, but I really love seeing my best friend. We barely see each other and I know that this is for Ava but I actually wanna try to talk and spend time with Payton. We were about 20 more minutes away and my heart was pumping. Ava was asleep on my chest as I played with a strand of her hair. Now your probably thinking bad things right now, but no I don't like Ava, she's just one of my best friends. We have that sort of relationship, like brother and sister. We're just really close.
20 minutes passed and we just arrived at Payton's house, Ava woke up a few minutes ago and looked from me to the house, with a confused face. I smirked and shrugged before opening the door and helping Ava out. She took my hand and stared at the house weirdly. I lightly pushed her towards the door and she began walking. I grabbed our backpacks and helped the Uber driver get our suticases out of the back and followed behind her. She turned towards me and took her backpack, laughing lightly at my struggles before continiuing walking to the house. I laughed knowing she only took her backpack to annoy me. As soon as she stepped onto the porch the door opened to reveal a very smiley and happy Payton. As soon as I saw him Ava fell to the ground, tears in her eyes. I looked up at Payton who was smiling, before we both knelt down next to a very happy and crying Ava.

AVA'S POV

I opened my eyes and looked at Jackson as we soon pulled up to our destination. Jackson still didn't tell me why were here, after asking a million times. He only smiled and shrugged. I looked over at the beautiful houses and then to Jackson who again only smiled and shurgged. Jackson opened the door and got out, before taking my hand and helping me. He payed the Uber and looked at me and then the house. He touched my back and lightly pushed me towards the door. As I walked my heart began pumping, what was in there?
A surprise?
My friends??
FOOD?! I was really hungry if u couldn't already tell.
I heard a grunt from behind me and laughed as I saw Jackson struggling to bring in both our backpacks and suitcases. I smiled and took my backpack before turning around and walking towards the house again. Jackson laughed as I did so.
As soon as I stepped onto the front porch of the house, the door swung open. I looked up and soon as my eyes landed on the figure I felt a tear slide down my face.

Payton.

He looked really happy, a big smile, open arms to hopefully embrace me with. But I couldn't, I was to surprised. I felt the tears come as I collapsed on the ground crying, tears of joy and surprise.
Jackson and Payton soon fell beside me and Payton pulled me Into a big and tight hug. As soon as I felt his warmness and the sweet smell of vanilla I barried my head in his neck and just cried.

I missed him so much.
