We Always Come back

Chapter 1

RING RING RING!!!!!

"Sasha! Let's go! We are going to be late!" This is the beginning of my first day of school. Loud, annoying and not around Jackson. Whose Jackson you might ask? That's only if you are from out of town though. Jackson is my brother's best friend and the quarterback of my high school's football team. He's also the one person my mom trusted enough to take me to the 7th-grade dance.

FLASHBACK

"Maya, why do guys not ask me to the dance? You've had like 10 guys ask you."

"It's because of James I think. The only reason Jack can be around you is that he's their friend and swore not to hurt you."

For some reason this surprises me, "Jacky swore not to hurt me? Why would he do that?"

"Why do you think dummy. You're the only one who can call him Jacky and the only girl he swore not to hurt."

I can't think that he likes me so I change the subject, " Do you know who you're going with yet, Ems?"

"Alex, he asked me yesterday. Don't think I didn't see the question in your mind Sash-." Next thing we know Jackson is sprinting in the room screaming.

"Hide me they are trying to kill me!" He jumps on the bed and hides behind Maya before she tells him he's being dumb and he hides behind me, "Shes mean today." I glare at him and whisper for him to be nice and apologize. "Only if you go to the dance with me," he says just as Mike and James ran into the room. Next thing I know James is on top of Jackson hitting him and I'm on the floor screaming for him to stop. Maya runs out of the room, most likely to get their mom, and I get up and throw myself on top of Jackson just and James throws a punch.

A FEW MINUTES LATER

"Sasha! Sasha, please!"

"Here baby, here's an ice pack for that eye and I'm gonna go help with Sasha ok?"

"Make sure she's ok, Mom. She has to be ok." I groaned as I opened my eyes slowly. The first person I see Is Jackson hovering next to me, "Thank God, Sasha you're ok. Why would you do that, you got hurt!"

"Jackson! Go get her an ice pack, now."

"Yes ma'am" he looks at me with pain in his eyes and then walks out of the room.

"Sasha, can you look at me please honey?" I do as I'm asked.

"Mrs.Lisa, wheres James?"

"He's downstairs, do you want me to call him? He thought you wouldn't want to see him."

"Yes, please." She goes downstairs and a minute later I hear very slow steps towards the door. That is when I realized I am in Jackson's room and not Mayas. James knocks then pokes his head into the room.

"Sasha..."

"James, why'd you hit him? Why Jamie?"

" He tried to bribe you into going to the dance Sash. He could at least-"

"Ask her straight out and get hit more?"I start and James looks to the door, "Yeah ok, Sasha Marie Edwards, will you go to the 7th grade formal as my date?" I snap my eyes to Jacksons and my jaw drops. It takes me about five minutes to understand what he's asking ma and he is shifting nervously by the door. James looks ready to kill when Jackson says," Well, I guess that means-"

"Yes," I whisper. He goes silent for a second.

"What did you just say, Sasha?" James asks me. I turn to him and glare.

"I said," I turn to look at Jackson and stand up and walk over to him, " Yes, I will go to 7th grade formal with you. James sat back down we are not done here," I say the second part when I hear a chair scrape against the floor.

PRESENT

I am rushing around to get ready as I think about what would be cute to wear on the first day of school. I end up choosing my skinny jeans with a grey tank top and my black and white Nike jacket, as well as my white Nike shoes. I throw my hair up in a messy bun and pull a few strands down to frame my face. Who knows, maybe this year he will know who I am besides James and Mike's little sister and his sister's best friend.
