Jackson lay in bed tossing and turning, he couldn't sleep, but it was only natural for him to be up and restless after hearing his first love has moved on, is getting married. Apparently it will be soon. The five years that he's known Sabrina and the five years that he's been away he only regretted not making his move first. In those ten years his timing was never right, he waited too long and he lost her because of his hesitation. Now all he could think was, what if he wouldn't have hesitated?
Jackson wasn't the only one that was restless on this night, Sabrina was sitting up in bed contemplating whether telling Jackson everything she wanted to tell him 5 years ago was the smart decision. What if it made it harder for them to go back to the way things were?
"I only did it because I needed to put everything in the past in order to go ahead with my future with Carson.
Carson, her soon to be husband, also the boy she cried over plenty of times because of his inability to stay faithful throughout high school. Now how in the hell did she end up getting married to him, well Sabrina is a very forgiving person, she gives people too many chances and she is so quick to forgive, it's one of her many downfalls that Jackson tried his best to stop. To Jackson some people can never be worthy of your forgiveness, but to Sabrina forgiveness runs as deep as the Congo river.
Sabrina wasn't so sure about the wedding and not just because Jackson was back, she was always on the outs about Carson, but she was too forgiving and too caring to tell him no when he purposed back in Junior year of College.
Although Sabrina didn't love Carson the way she loved Jackson, she figured it was okay because she still loved him in some way that allowed her to forgive him and marry him, when Jackson finds out Sabrina wasn't ready to hear the lecture, the anger in his voice, or the beating he would try to give Carson for ever thinking he was worthy enough to marry Sabrina.
For Sabrina knew that if she asked him to try he would, he always did anything Sabrina asked of him even if it meant her getting hurt. He'd let her get hurt but he'd be there every time to pick up the pieces and put them back together, and most times without even trying. He did that for no other girl but Sabrina, if only she would have realized sooner why.
"Sabrina, Carson is here." Her mother yelled up the steps making her jump from her unknown slumber, the sun blinded her eyes as she tried to look at her clock to see what time it was, she always meant to move the clock away from the sun so she wouldn't go blind trying to see the time but she just never got around to it. She quickly scrambled out of bed pulling her hair up into a ponytail, brushing her teeth and throwing on some shorts and a white hoodie. She caught her breath before heading down stares to see Carson sitting on the couch in his black jacket and blue ripped jeans, "What are you doing here?" Sabrina says coming into his eyesight. He smiled a bit standing up to pull Sabrina in a hug, "I just wanted to see my bride to be." Carson says pushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"Speaking of bride when exactly is this wedding?" Sabrina's mother came out the kitchen wiping her hands on her plain white apron, Carson looked at Sabrina shocked that she hadn't told her own mother when her wedding was. "Next week." Carson says and Sabrina could almost hear the lecture she was about to get. "Oh, that's wonderful..." her mom said walking back into the kitchen.
"You didn't tell her?" Carson says, Sabrina just smiled and sat down on the couch bringing him next to her, "Oh yes hey mom by the way I'm getting married straight out of college and it's coming soon because it's next week to a guy that you haven't met yet because he didn't last very long in high school because he was afraid of commitment and kept cheating on me, but don't worry he's fully committed now." Carson through his hands up in defeat, "Okay I get it you're right." he says kissing her on her forehead.
