Oh my god. I've already written the description for 'By The Way I Love You' which is the third book. My god.
And also I put a dot in gaps because Wattpad doesn't allow for gaps in chapters anymore. IT'S DUMB. 😡

Over the next couple of days I started to wonder why my mother still kept me and didn't send me away. I was awful to live with and Jai wasn't making anything easier for me. I found myself beginning to act like my sister.
.
"I'm not going to be like her." I say to myself and walk outside. I lay on the grass and stare up at the blue sky. It was absolutely beautiful and I don't know what I'd do without it. It made me feel free. Except I wasn't. I was caught in the depths of absolutely everything life throws at you and I don't know what to do about it. I wasn't free at all. No one is in the end, we're all trapped in a atmosphere and you're really only free in space because, without even trying, you can simply float away.
.
That's freedom, when you can drift away with no problems caught in your social bubble, but life wasn't handing me that when I open my eyes to see a, very tall looking, LIzzy hovering over me.
.
"What do you want?" I ask and she smiles.
.
"I want a truce with you." She says and I groan as I sit up. Damn, she annoys me.
.
"How'd you get in?" I ask and she is emotionless.
.
"It's called a door." She says sarcastically.
.
"Yeah. Right. I forgot." I say, sarcasm evident in my voice and she sighs.
.
"Just listen, I really want to have a truce with you because we were great friends."
.
Until you took my boyfriend away.
.
When you talk to LIzzy the essence of lies drip off her every word.
.
"I miss you."
.
Lie
.
"I'm so lonely and I know you are too."
.
Lie.
.
"Sorry Lizzy." I say.
.
"But I'm not lonely and I'm not interested in you back stabbing me again. You should leave." I say and walk inside.
.
"Whatever." She calls and I ignore her.
.
"Oh, Gemma! How are you?" My mother asks as I walk through the kitchen. Where she's cooking something that smells great, but is probably terrifying.
.
"I was splended until Lizzy became all dracular on me." I say and walk away. I was disappointed when I found Jai 'listening' to Kayla blabber on in the lounge room.
.
"God. What are you doing here?" I ask and he stands up from sitting on the lounge.
.
"Yeah, it's great to see you too Gemma." He says and I make a fake laughing face and Kayla giggles at our sarcasm.
.
"Stop flirting with me Jai." I say and he smiles. Kayla says 'bye' to Jai and death stares me before running upstairs and slamming her door.
.
"Now, what are you doing here?" I ask and he stares into my eyes.
.
"Begging for a truce?" He says and I sigh.
.
"Oh, don't you start." I say and he smiles.
.
"I take it that Lizzy has been?" He asks and I nod.
.
"It was a joke. I'm not askin for truce, only forgiveness." He says and we sit down next to each other.
.
"Jai, I have been trying to forgive you, but everytime I think about you I imagine that night when I ran rom that room actually in tears." I say and he lowers his head to stare at his fidgetting hands.
.
"I'm sorry." He says and looks back up to me.
.
"I know." I say and he just stares into my eyes. It was true though, I kind of did forgive him, but it was so difficult.
.
"Was there any significant reason you came here?" I ask and he shakes his head. That's annoying.
.
"Are we still friends?" He asks.
.
"Yeah. If you want." I say. I knew he still wanted to be friends, but mainly he still wanted to date me.
.
A few days later Jai was still hanging around me, but I found the freedom in my life, the freedom that Jai would at least give me. In the end we're manipulated in small groups - which people now call communities - by the government and they think they're powerful for it. But they aren't, you're only powerful if you physically give someone a piece of paper that says 'I GRANT YOU FREEWILL', but they won't. They'll continue to control us and they'll continue to think it's for our own good. I forgave Jai. I actually forgave. Well crap.
