"Either we're hooking up or I'm leaving." Jasmine said, she had texted Jackson earlier in the day because she needed something to take her mind off things, like seeing the one boy she had a crush on for years on end and never told a soul in the Starbucks parking lot. The fact that he even remembered her was shocking to her, seeing as during high school they only talked when he needed answers to something in history.
"We don't have to hook up every time we see each other. We can just talk, get to know each other." Jackson says, he was sitting at the wooden desk in his room staring out the window. Jasmine sighed laying back on Jackson's bed.
"Did you want to talk about something, because if so I'm not the right person, get a shrink or shit the blonde girl this morning I'm sure she'd listen." Jasmine says, Jackson just laughs and shakes his head.
"She's the person I want to talk about, she's getting married, tomorrow actually and I really don't know if I can watch her move on to another guy." Jasmine sat up smiling, "Is she the girl that Carter was saying you needed help getting over?" Jackson just nodded his head.
"Fine we can talk, we can be friends because you seem to be in the same boat as me, on one condition, don't fall for me. I have no interest in falling for anyone ever again." Jasmine says
"Don't have to worry about that, I haven't had feelings for anyone in a very long time. Except for one girl and she's getting married so I really should just burn those feelings huh?" Jasmine nodded before getting up and closing the curtains to the window that looked directly out to Sabrina's window.
"First step, stop gazing out at her window, second step, find someone to fill the time." Jasmine said pulling Jackson's chair closer to her, they were now face to face and all Jackson could do was laugh, Jasmine sighed pushing him back to the desk.
"You really are not the talking type huh?" Jackson said getting out of the chair, he stood over her slowly removing his shirt as he went to close and lock his bedroom door. When he turned around Jasmine was already on the bed with her shirt tossed on to the floor. "We can talk afterward..." Jasmine says pulling Jackson on top of her.

"I guess you want to talk now?" Jasmine said as she laid under Jackson's sheets, Jackson smiled turning to her, "Go to this wedding with me." He said, Jasmine's face showed her shock and Jackson laughed although he was serious he tried to play it off as a joke. "Are you asking me because you want moral support or because you want to make her jealous?" Jasmine said she wanted Jackson to ask her because he wanted her to be his moral support, not to make anyone jealous because she hated drama.
"I don't want to make her jealous, I just need someone who knows how it feels to lose someone you love because you were too late, you know?" Jackson says going back to being serious, "If you don't want to that's totally understandable, I'm not trying to pressure you or anything." Jasmine smiled before getting out of Jackson's bed to pick her clothes up and get dressed. Jackson took that as she didn't want to come so he stayed quiet thinking he might have made her uncomfortable as she got dressed.
"Walk me out," Jasmine says and Jackson throws on a shirt and some sweatpants following behind her down the steps, his sister was downstairs in the kitchen watching the two of them awkwardly walk down the steps in complete silence.
"I'll see you tomorrow then?" Jasmine said smiling, Jackson looked at her confused, "I have to go to the wedding tomorrow so..." Jasmine laughed shaking her head.
"She's saying she's going with you dummy." Izzie says sliding past the two with her freshly made turkey sandwich and Pepsi bottle. Jackson looks from Izzie back to Jasmine, "Really?" Jackson asked, Jasmine smiled nodding her head.
