Theres Always A Way

Aylahs POV

Jackson's not been around for three weeks. I feel like we all are missing something without him.  I feel empty.  Why am I feeling this?

"Hey Em where's Jackson?"

"I dunno why? "

"he hasn't showed up in like three weeks that's why.  Isn't that weird?  Is he okay?  I mean he lives with you.. "

"I bet he's fine, he disappears sometimes it's okay.  Plus he is the alp.. I mean he is the most powerful Judi tzu  fighter in his class.  I bet he is just out with one of his 'girls' or something."

That hurt. 

"oh.  Your probably right." 

I felt the tears coming.  Maybe I feel something for him.  But he has so many "girls" the kiss probably made me just one of them.  Yuck.  No way in hell if he fucking thinks I'm gonna let that go his way.  Two can play at this. 

After school I ignored Em all day and when she called about movie night I said I was throwing up.  It wasn't a lie.  I had been so upset about what she said I've been crying as much as if my boyfriend just dumped me.  We aren't even dating.

I hate curled up watching Netflix. 

"Hey sweetie,  you okay?"

"yeah I'm fine aunty thanks. I think I'm coming down with a virus I'm gonna be home for a while I'm sorry. "

" oh Sweety it's fine  on my way home from with I'll pick up your homework.  Marco is staying with his dad a while so I'll have to get his to. "

She is so sweet.  My aunt is the best. And she's 8 months pregnant.  She's the best!

I picked up the phone for the first time in three days and I have texts for days. 

Em: hey girl you sick?

Em: hello?  Ly?

Em: come on girl what's up?

Em: your scaring me are you okay?

Em: you dead?

Em: answer your damn phone.

Em: alright. I'll be over in 50 min.

Me: I'm fine sorry I have the stomach flu.  I've been asleep.

Em:  okay I'm omw with soup sprite crackers and movies :)

Me: thanks :) I'm Okay though really.

With in seconds she walks in with sacks and plops down on the couch.

"You know you could of knocked!  I could me contagious!"

"and I could be stupid but I'm not.  Your not sick your playing hooky! "

"am not! "

"mhmm sure.  What are we watching? "

" how to train your dragon haha"

"yay?"

We watched eating everything she brought and I decided I needed a shower.

"Hey Em,  I'll be back I need to shower."

I walked into my room undressed and got in.  The best way to calm my nerves is showering.  I stood there and got all relaxed when I noticed the hot water slowly cooling so I got out.   I walked into my room with my towel wrapped around me. I look up and Jackson's sitting on my bed. 

"whoa WTF!  I'm kinda naked!  Is this gonna become a trend with us? Me wereing barely anything and you not knocking? "

He looked terrible.  Still really hot but he looked depressed. I couldn't be mad at him.  I walked over,  forgetting my attire and sit next to him. 

"hey what's wrong? " I said putting my arms around him trying to comfort him.

He looked at me with worry in his eyes and kissed me again. I give in and let him kiss me. Wrapping my arms around him not realizing my towel slipped off a little bit, until I received a deep growl from him.  

"Jack, I'm sorry I didn't...  I'm S-sorry I lost it I don't know what... " he shut me up with a shorter kiss.

"Ly,  I can't hide it anymore.  I really like you. I'm not just saying this because every time I come here I catch you half naked. Even though I'm not complaining about that" he joked making me laugh a bit at his cheesy flirting as i blushed,  "I'm saying this because I want us to be. Will you please go out with me?  Movies this Friday,  and if you don't enjoy our date and never want to be more than friends, I need you to tell me you are rejecting me."

There was so much passion in his eyes after he said that. I finally realized that is what I wanted to. I want him to be Mine. Wait what am I saying?
