summary : once they all get back home , every thing goes by smoothly , the couples start dating , and friendships grows stronger than ever at the moments of deppression and heartbreaks , tragedy,charecter death , drugs , voilence ,one of them has to go though all of this , guess who ;) : JACKSON

Finally , home . that was the thought that crossed each of the teenagers minds , they got off the plain waiting for their parents , and once they saw them , they dropped their luggage and started running , and hugging their families so hard it felt good , it made them forget every thing they have been through for a while , all except for jackson . he was standing far from his friends sinking in his own thoughts , he wanted to find his mother , the scene he just saw touched him although he never thought it would . Melissa was looking for jackson cause she wanted him to meet her parents , then she saw him and went towards him as the breeze played gently with her dark hair .

Melissa : jackson ? are you ok ?

Jackson : huh ? oh yeah I'm fine

Melissa : are you sure ?

Jackson : yeah , don't worry I will be fine

Melissa : cool , ummm I told my parents all about you and they want to meet you .

Jackson : melissa don't get me wrong but , can we meet some other day I have a lot going on right now

Melissa : yeah , sure but I insist that you tell me what's going on with you

Jackson : ok I'm determined to find my mom , under any cost , and for now I have to handle the incident that happened before we got stuck in the island , hopefully I should avoid going to jail again .

Nathan : don't worry we will help you through every step in the way

Dayle : yeah , what are friends for ?

Eric : you can count on us chief

Jackson : thanks guys , it means a lot coming from you I really needed that in the moment

Dayle " lex yelled from behind

Lex : come on we got to get going

Dayle : coming , bye everyone

Nathan : bye

Then every one else started to leave , and jackson had to wait a few more minutes then he left with his social worker , and got to meet his new foster family .

When he arrived to his home , he got into his room and started unpacking his stuff , then looked at the cell phone and wanted to call Melissa then he thought : nah , she could be sleeping or something , I don't want to bother her . then as soon as he finished unpacking he lied on his back over the bed and started thinking :

I wonder what is mom doing right now , I haven't seen her since I was seven , I was thrilled when they moved me to l.a cause I knew she was there all the time , after all it was my fault we got separated . he soon then closed his eyes and fell asleep and woke up early the next day because of the ringing of his cell phone he picked it up and then answered while yawning and stretching

Jackson : hello ?

Melissa : hey jackson its me , I hope I didn't wake you up

Jackson : nah , its ok I should be awake anyways

Melissa : so , ummm do you have any plans today ?

Jackson : no , I I don't think so , why? , you want us to hang out or something

Melissa : uh , yeah I would like that

Jackson : ok , but I should have been the one calling to ask you out , I wanted to last night but I thought you were resting so I didn't bother

Melissa : its ok , it doesn't matter

Jackson : so , we meet today at the mall at 6:00 pm ?

Melissa : yeah , I guess its ok

Jackson : ok then see ya there , bye

Melissa : bye

He closed his cell phone and headed down stairs , ate breakfast , and then he started the search for his mom , but he didn't manage to find any thing about her , so he headed back home to get ready for his date with melissa. he wore a black t-shirt and white shorts , and a cologne , and got his hair fixed and he is done in a few minutes , while Melissa took a whole hour to finish , and then she came out to meet jackson , who was waiting for her outside , once she got out of the door jackson 's jaws dropped and thought : wow , is that Melissa ? then this was so worth the hour I waited , she looks beautiful .

Melissa came next to him

Melissa : hi (stares at his eyes )

Jackson : hey , you look amazing

Melissa blushed

Melissa : thanks , so do you

Jackson : yeah , right (laughing)

Melissa laughs too , then they got in car , and they were silent most of the way , so Melissa wanted to start a conversation .

Melissa : so what were you doing today ? stupid question (she thought )

Jackson : nothing , I was just looking for my mom

Melissa : did you get any luck finding any thing about her ?

Jackson : no , not a single thing

Melissa : well , you can't search for her in a whole city by your self , you should let us help you , and don't get depressed if we didn't find anything at first , it takes time but im sure that we are going to find her

Jackson : ummm , Melissa , thanks for your support but , I thought that this should be something that I have to do by my self , so I could be prepared for any shocking news , like what if I found out that she is dead ? , or that she is not even here ?

(Melissa's eyes tear up )

Melissa : jackson , don't think like that you are going to find her

Jackson : (looking depressed ) : Melissa , there is this one things that I have learned from life , is to never get your hopes so high , cause when bad news arrive , you will be crushed all in the sudden , and it will hurt you even more , believe me , I have been in this situation before .

And as soon as jackson finished they arrived to the mall

Jackson : lets just forget about this and have some fun

Melissa : ( smiles ) : ok

They entered the mall holding each other's hand , so now they are officially dating . first they dropped by to get some ice cream , jackson ordered blue berry ice cream , and Melissa ordered vanilla ice cream , so once they finished , they decided to go to play some games that were at the mall , so they got off there chairs , and while they were heading there they met Nathan and dayle

Melissa : wow , Nathan what a surprise , you and dayle , finally ! its about time

Jackson : yeah , congrats ( smiles )

Nathan : thanks man , so ummm what are you guys doing here ?

Melissa : ohh , today is our first date ( Melissa smiles and looks at jackson , he smiles back )

Dayle : ok , do you want us to hang out together ?
