What's love without jealousy?
Yes, my next story. Of course it will be a Melissa/Jackson story as always lol. Hope you all like R&R please. This chapter is called confusion.
Melissa was in pain as she knew she would be. She walked beside her best friend Nathan, sadly watching as Jackson and Taylor walked hand in hand across campus. He had told her 2 months before of his decision. When he had told her she simply said ok. She will always remember the look of surprise on his face. She knew he was expecting her to start crying. But she didn't, not Melissa. She waited until she got home to start crying slightly. She had even surprised herself. She had always remained the strong one, even after they had gotten rescued. Her thoughts were interrupted by Nathan.
"So Daley, me, and Lex are going down to the beach later. We're asking everyone to go, you in?" Melissa looked into his eyes. She knew that if she said no, which she really did, then she would never hear the end of it.
"Yeah, sure."
"Great I'll go tell Daley, see you later." Melissa watched him run off to find his girlfriend. She and Eric were the only two not with someone from the island, except Lex of course. Melissa knew Eric was pissed at Jackson but he wouldn't admit it. He didn't want to be beaten up by him. She wondered if he would be going to the beach. They could hang out together. "We're in the same boat. We both will have to watch Jackson and Taylor."
As she walked she sensed someone following her. But she didn't turn around to see who it was, she didn't need to. Her thoughts drifted back through space and time.
Jackson was walking slightly behind. They were both thinking about the same day; the day they were rescued. They remembered every detail. It was raining that day. He had picked her up and kissed her feeling the rain running down both of them. He remembered the taste of salt and he knew she had been crying. He kept telling himself that he kissed her out of fear and happiness of going home.
Melissa thought about that day. She was no longer sad about Jackson choosing Taylor, she was pissed. How could he kiss her one day, and then once they hit land again, go out with Taylor. She didn't understand him.
Melissa snapped back from her mind when she heard the warning bell ring. She picked up her pace, fully aware that he was behind her. She was now used to feeling his eyes on her every single day. She assumed it was out of pity. Jackson thought otherwise.
He kept thinking how gorgeous she looked everyday. He was confused about why something was always drawing his gaze to her. But he was with Taylor. He loved her, didn't he?
To make matters worse, Mel and Jackson had every class together. One of them was with Taylor. But that didn't stop Jackson from staring at her. During economics, Jackson decided he couldn't take not talking to her. Ignoring the piercing gaze he got from Taylor, he wrote Melissa a note. Hey Mel, are you going to the beach? He passed to her and heard a small gasp from Taylor which he ignored. He watched a she looked over the note and wrote one word down on the paper and passed it back. Yeah. That's what she had written. He couldn't explain how one word could make him happier than he had been in 2 moths.
He smiled and left class as the bell rang. He watched as Melissa walked over to her locker. He walked Taylor to hers, which was just down the hall, and told her he'd be right back. He could feel Taylor's eyes as they bore a whole in his back. He imagined the look on her face when she saw he was headed towards Melissa.
Melissa was confused Jackson never tried to talk to her anymore. Why start now. She was also slightly nervous as she watched him walk towards her out of the corner of her eye. "Why am I so nervous? I haven't talked to the kid in a month plus it's not like I need to make an impression." She thought as she waited for him to say something. She put her books in her locker and slammed the door shut. Finally he opened his mouth to say something.
Ha cliff hanger. What does he say? Will Mel and Jackson get together? What will happen at the beach? Hope you guys liked it R&R or I won't update.
