Hey, everybody! How'd you like the first chapter? I know it was kind of short, but I have one coming up that will definitely make up for it and then some. Feel free to leave me a review if you liked it! Or if you didn't like it, you can still leave a review! Thanks for reading!
Walk Away by The Script: Lydia and Jackson
Every day, Jackson Whitmore found himself wondering one thing: why was she still with him? After everything that he put her through during their relationship, why in the world would Lydia Martin; beautiful, perfect Lydia Martin, want to stay with him?
If he asked anyone at school the answer to that question, they would tell him that it's because he was the star. He was the captain of the lacrosse team. At this, he would begrudgingly respond, "Co-captain," and walk away. While that is what it would look like to the outside world, Jackson knows that isn't the real reason. Lydia likes to put up this front like she's one of those ditsy girls who only goes after the stars, but he knows her better than that. He knows her better than anyone.
No one knows the true Jackson and Lydia except for Jackson and Lydia.
They may think they know about how awful of a person he is, and they may think that they know how awful of a person he is towards her; but the truth is that they don't know anything. They don't know what goes on behind their walls.
The truth is that it's much worse.
Jackson isn't proud of it, but it's the unfortunate truth. He truly loves Lydia. Sometimes, he even regrets the way he treats her. I guess that's why she stays with him: because she knows he regrets it. But is that really good enough? When you spend so many nights screaming at the top of your lungs at each other, flinging things around the room in fits of rage, is it really enough that he doesn't mean it?
He knows that if he were her, he would have left a long time ago. She could do so much better than him. Sure he's the star of the school, but she could do so much better. She deserved better. But the truth is, Lydia isn't with Jackson Whitmore because he's the star lacrosse player.
Lydia Martin is with Jackson Whitmore because she is in love with him.
Once that L-word is out there, there's no turning back. No matter what horrible things he says to her, she's going to stay with him. She's going to stay with him because she believes in him. She once told him that she knew he had a soul even though he was heartless. She knows her Jackson is somewhere hiding underneath all that bravado, and until she finds it, Lydia will stay.
Lydia Martin will not walk away.
