He wanted Melissa more than anything he could ever get, if someone had handed him a million dollars. Jackson told his friends that he'd definatlly take Melissa instead.
Many of girls thought that that was so romantic, and it probably was. But Jackson didn't even know how to be romantic.
And yet he was going all the way to Minnisota to be with Melissa.
Jackson drove up to an airport, he parked his car and ran to the ticket booth.
"One ticket to Minnisota please," He said.
The man standing at the counter looked at him, "You have no luggage..." He muttered.
Jackson looked at the man, "Does it matter, look, I need just one ticket to Minnisota. Please..."
"Oh, I see...visiting a girlfriend?" The guy asked.
Jackson nodded, "Yeah...how'd you know?"
"I once did the same thing, my girl left and I chased after her." Said the man.
He handed Jackson the ticket, "Thanks man," Jackson said.
The guy smiled, "It's nothing, the flight leaves in 15 minutes. So I'd hurry."

'I'll catch you...before you fall, and all the memories, I recall. I have never felt this way before, because I loved you...after all.' Kylie had found that
poem in Jackson's note book, a smile smeared on her face.
"A whole other side of Jackson..." She muttered.
The phone next to Jackson's bed rang, Kylie answered it.
"Jackson!!! It's me Melissa! I miss you so much, I wish I told you about me leaving a long time ago..."
"Um...this is Kylie." Kylie said.
"Oh..." Melissa said on the other line
"Oh...by the way, Jackson is-"
"I know, Jackson is mad at me! He probably never wants to speak to me again!" Melissa cried.
"I was gonna say-"
"Kylie!! Come down here and do the dishes!" Her mom called.
"Bye!"
--------------------------------------
Melissa looked at the telephone, after being hung up.
"Face it Mel, he has moved on..." Mr. Wu said.
Melissa looked at him, "That was his sister..." She said.
Mr. Wu put down his paper, "Okay, what's wrong Melissa...your crying."
"Jackson is angry with me, even his sister said so..." Cried Melissa.
Mr. Wu sighed, "I told you that boy is nothing but a heart-breaker!!"
"Dad, he is not!!"

Jackson sat in the plane, he sighed and looked in his backpack. It was an old backpack, from when he was a kid, he lost his new one.
So he had to take his old one, he rummaged through it. And found a peice of paper, he turned it over. And he saw that it was a picture.
"What...?" He asked himself. It was a picture of him, with three other kids. A blonde and two brunnettes, he had no clue who the other kids were.
But did he want to know who they were?
Jackson looked closer at the picture, and noticed something.
"It can't be...how...?" He thought that two of the three kids looked familiar, they looked like Eric and Emily.
But Jackson didn't believe it, he was probably tired and seeing things.
Jackson put the picture away and closed his eyes.
--------------------------------------------------
Emily was pulling books out of her bookshelf, she found an old photo album from the year 1995.
Emily sat on her bed and looked through the book, seeing baby pictures of her. And pictures of Eric when he was little.
And there were quiet a few pictures of Nick, Emily smiled.
Then she came across a picture, it was the same exact picture that Jackson had.
"Probably just a cousin," Emily said to herself. Seeing the other kid, it was Jackson.
But back then in 1995 Jackson had bleach blonde hair, so Emily didn't recognize him.

------------------------------------------
What is up? How did Emily and Jackson have the same exact picture?
One things for sure, Jackson was in the photo with Emily, Eric and Nick. But Emily didn't know that, and neither did Jackson know about Emily and her brothers
in the picture.
What was going on?
