#2 Forever With The Good Girl

Chapter33: The Ring

*Jessica Knight*

"So I see you're still wearing that ring, huh?" Dad asked as we sat at the table eating dinner.

"Yep, still wearing it." I answered. "Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering when you're going to realize you're still in high school."

I gave him a flat look and dropped my fork. "I'm graduating within two months."

"You have college, Jess. You have your whole life a head of you. Don't tie yourself down so quickly."

"I don't have my whole life if Jake's not in it." I bit angrily.

He shook his head and crossed his arms. "Your mother and I fell in love in high school too you know, and look where we are now. Divorced and living over a thousand miles away from each other."

"Yes but I dont think Jake will cheat on me the way you cheated on mom." I snapped coldy.

He rubbed his temples angrily before standing up. "I'm heading to the office." He dumped his plate and shoved it in the dishwasher.

He didn't say good bye, just grabbed his stuff and walked out.

Soon after I found myself in the living room, wondering if maybe he's right. Maybe I am too young for this? That seems to be what everyone is thinking.

Except for Ethan and Garett of course -however I haven't really talked to Garret about it.

I know Amber isn't thrilled because she doesn't fully trust Jake but she hasn't pushed the topic like my dad and Jake's mom.

The door bell suddenly rang, knocking me out of my thoughts.

I stood up, feeling my bones ache and move stiffly from lying on the couch.

I took lazy steps towards the door before swinging it open. "Hello ...?"

"Hey, Jay."

My eyes widen and my heart beat began to pick up. "W-What are you doing here?" I asked taking a step back.

His face fell when he saw the cautious look on my face. "I wanted to talk to you."

"About what?" I asked quickly, wishing he would just leave. I'm not completely ready to see the boy who brought such pain over me.

He almost became angry when he saw me stepping farther away. "Jessica, you don't have to be afraid of me."

"And why not?"

"Because I'm not going to hurt you."

"You say that, but do you really mean it? You've done it once before. The ones you love the most always seem to hurt you the worst."

He sighed glanced up at me with the eyes that I fell in love with. "Can I come in?"

Such loving memories come flooding through my mind as I stood before this boy.

His eyes were watching me intently, much like they had before.

Familiar feelings bore within me and my body became warm.

"I don't know if that's such a good idea." I said, almost wishing Jake was here.

He breathed out almost angrily and ran a hand through his nicely cut hair. "I ... I really need to talk to you."
