Meet Again:
Carly exhaled loudly, as she closed the door of her car and ran her fingers through her hair exhausted and a little stressed about what had happened today, as well as the text she got from Alison last night that had kept her up and meant she had a rubbish nights sleep.
She had her first proper experience of investigating and interviewing people alongside Tanner. The first part of the day had gone smoothly until she decided to open her big mouth back at Ezra's apartment and then it just seemed to go downhill from there.
Fortunately for her, Tanner was not all that annoyed at her for interrupting the conversation she was having with Ezra. She believed it was unprofessional and was going against what her superior had advised but Tanner was impressed by how she had handled the situation and what she actually added to the interview.
This made Carly a hell of a lot better about what had happened at the apartment, but she knew that Tanner was going to be watching her every move now to make sure she did not step out of line again. She also doubted she would be going out on anymore investigations with Tanner anytime soon until she learnt to keep her mouth shut.
But that was only half of the reason why she felt so exhausted and stressed. She still could not get over seeing Aria hiding out in the apartment that evening. It slightly upset her knowing that whilst she had been at law school, the girl she considered a little sister a long time ago was hooking up with her teacher and going through so much all alone.
To make matters worse, Carly had not even mentioned to Tanner that Aria was actually there that night. It could have changed everything if Carly let Tanner in on the teenagers where abouts. But she could not do that to Aria and just this once she would risk everything to protect the young girl.
Suddenly the sound of someone tapping on her car window door, made her mind jump out of her thoughts and her body physically jump in her seat. Bringing her head up from her slouched over position, she looked out of her window and saw Holbrook stood outside of it looking smug.
Rolling her eyes in annoyance, she leant over and pressed down on the button to unwind the window, in which it did and Holbrook stepped closer to the car in the process.
"Everything ok Miss Monroe?" Holbrook asked as he leant against the top of his car with his arm.
"Of course." Carly faked a smile at him, something she seemed to be doing a lot lately especially around the people in charge.
"I heard you got yourself involved with an investigation earlier this evening." He said like he was impressed.
"And who did you hear that from?" she replied with her eyebrows raised and a guilty smile on her face.
"Tanner herself actually." Holbrook smirked.
"I guess you heard right then."
"Impressive," He paused as he leant back up straight. "If you want to get in the bad book that is."
"There's a bad book?" Carly couldn't help but chuckle at his words at how childish that sounded.
"No not really," Holbrook smiled making Carly laugh more. "I just thought I would make that up to just scare you, it obviously did not work because you're laughing."
"Yeah you're hilarious." Carly laughed as she shook her head in amusement.
"Well I'm glad I could make you laugh since you did not look so happy when I first started speaking to you."
Carly lowered her head slightly at this, with a small smile playing on her lips and the heat rushing to her cheeks faintly. She could not believe that Holbrook was being so sweet to her still after what happened after the day and what was going on in the office earlier in the day.
She thought that whatever friendship or work relationship they had achieved over the past couple of weeks was on its way out since he was acting so strange. Somehow she felt relieved and glad that he was back to acting his charming old self around her and that things between them were ok again, since she could not put up again with the tension that was in the office for the rest of her working life.
"Thank you," She smiled sincerely as she glanced up at him. "I mean that."
"You're welcome," He returned the gesture and pulled out his car keys from his suit jacket pocket. "Good night, Miss Monroe."
"Good night."
She watched him as he turned around on his feet and made his way over to his cop car further down from where she was parked. Once he was inside his car, she wound up the window and threw on her seat belt, a smile still playing on her lips after what just happened with Holbrook. He actually did make her feel somewhat better.
But she knew that deep down she needed more than just Holbrook's charming manner to cheer her up tonight. Her Dad for once was not working the late shift and actually had the night off which meant he would be home for the rest of the evening.
She had decided on her way back from Ezra's apartment when she was in the car with Tanner and the other cop, that she would head to her Dad's for the night to spend some time with him and she was even thinking about staying over the night, so she did not have to be alone, especially when she was still quite worried about getting another A text.
She just hoped that Spencer would tell Alison and Alison would understand that she could not mess with Carly this time round.
Just like the other day, Carly pulled up outside her house and shut off the engine, her attention instantly turning to the front of the house which she could see from the driver's door window.
It still felt so weird for her coming back to the house, especially when this was only her second visit since she had returned to Rosewood completely. Even though everything and everyone around her had changed, she was glad that the home she had grown up in had not; she could still go back there whenever she wanted to and see her Dad.
Climbing out of the car, she made her way up the front path and headed her way towards the side of the house, knowing her Dad preferred to use the side or back entrance to the house over the front.
Thankfully the side door happened to be open and she let herself in with ease, the room that the side door opened onto happened to the dining room which lead into the kitchen. The lights within these two rooms happened to be off, signalling that her Dad was either in his study or another room of the house.
Pulling off her heels, she closed the door behind her and made her way through into the house. "Dad," Carly called as she flicked on the kitchen light to put her bag down on the island in the middle of the space and take off her trench coat "Dad."
However there was no answer, although as she got stepped out of the kitchen she could hear his voice and talking coming from the sitting room on the left hand side of the hall. Rolling her eyes, she presumed he was on the telephone talking to one of his friends or either had the television up super loud, as per usual.
"Dad…I was calling you…I-" Carly wondered through into the sitting room but once she saw two other visitors in the room with her Dad, she came to a halt and went quiet in shock that he had guests.
"Carly I didn't hear you come in," John said just as surprised to see his daughter. "I thought you would be at work."
"Uh yeah I just finished. I thought I would come see you." Carly told him in a quiet tone and was unable to look at the people also in the room in the eye, so she kept her attention on her Dad, who had no idea how she was feeling.
"Well that's a nice surprise." He smiled at her just as one of the visitors at the house spoke up.
"Yeah it's good to see you Carly." Jack, the middle aged guy with dark brown hair and dark eyes, with a light layer of stubble over his chin, dressed in a plain white shirt and smart trousers sat on one of the arm chairs, informed her causing her to look at him.
"You too." Carly mustered up a smile, feeling nothing more than awkward and uneasy to be facing people she had not seen in years so unexpectedly. She was so not prepared for this after the day she had been through.
"Hi Carly."
A soft voice greeted her next causing her to look over at the woman who had spoken to her after her father had. This person happened to be the person she was least wanting to have to speak to and be friendly towards after not being in contact with years. She felt like this was just going to end up in a big disaster and wanted to get out of that room as soon as possible.
"Hi," She looked over at the woman quickly before turning back to her Dad, who at least eased her nerves slightly. "I'm going to go get a class of water."
Before giving any of them a chance to answer, she rushed out of the room and into the kitchen where she grabbed a glass out of one of the cabinets. Quickly she filled the glass with some water and pulled open the back door which lead out into the back yard.
Sighing loudly, she stepped out onto the decking that lined the area that attached the back yard to the house. Walking across the wooden beams with her glass in her hand, she came to a stop at the two steps that lead down to the grass area, before taking a seat down on the top step and taking a large sip out of her water.
She had literally only been sitting out there for a couple of moments, when she heard footsteps behind her and her body tensed up at the persons voice.
"What are you doing out here all alone?" Charlotte asked who happened to be the daughter of Jack, as well as a blast from the past for Carly.
"I just needed to get some air." Carly answered her still unsure that she liked the idea of talking to Charlotte again after all this time.
It was weird for her to see her again and Carly could only imagine that Charlotte felt exactly the same about seeing her.
Charlotte, who remained silent for the time being came and took a seat down beside Carly, as well as following Carly's gaze over to the back of the yard which was pitch black and quiet. It was peaceful and a great space to think when you had a lot going on. Carly always use to go out there when she needed sometime to breathe.
"I was shocked when my Dad told me he saw your car parked outside John's house the other afternoon." Charlotte told her.
"Uh yeah I was just visiting my Dad." Carly replied back as she took another sip out of the water and laid it down beside her.
"Visiting as in you're not staying?"
"Visiting as in I have my own place now." Carly corrected her with a small smile.
Charlotte nodded her head and a smile broke out onto her lips like she was proud of what she was hearing from the younger woman "It all worked out for you then."
"I guess so." She told her softly as she tucked a strand of her behind her ear.
If all honestly she felt slightly awkward to answer that question since everyone who had asked her that so far knew of her past and acted like it was a shock it worked out right for her after the state she was in last time she was in Rosewood.
"So what are you up to now? You have obviously finished college." Carly quizzed her wanting to get the topic of conversation off her and try to remove the awkward tension that filled the two of them.
"Yeah I work at the medical centre now as a nurse when I'm not looking after Gracie." Charlotte informed her as she pulled out her phone from the back of her jeans pocket and unlocked it before motioning it towards Carly.
After seeing what Charlotte was doing, Carly turned her head to look at the phone that was in her view now and stared down at the screensaver on the phone. It was a picture of a young baby girl with bright blue eyes, a small covering of dark hair lay on the top of her head, a cheesy grin was on her face and she was dressed in the cutest white sun dress.
"She's so adorable," Carly beamed at Charlotte and for the first time actually looked at her with ease "She looks exactly like you."
"That's what everyone says." Charlotte laughed slightly as her face altered "Thank god!"
Carly flashed a brief smile in Charlotte's direction knowing that the subject was still sensitive and raw for her just like the matters of Carly's past was her. They both knew not to step over each other's boundaries; especially Charlotte who also blamed herself for Carly's down fall and had promised her father and John that she would not get in contact with Carly whilst she was at Law school, as well as making sure that if she ever came back from Rosewood that she would not get close to her.
But as soon as Charlotte saw the younger woman return home and leave the room so abruptly, she couldn't help but go after her and act like nothing had happened to either of them, because that's exactly what they both told themselves on a daily basis. That it was all over now, however much the emotional and mental scars were still there in their heads.
It was like another reason why the two of them could not be around each other for long due to the past. Also another person Carly could not be around.
"Charlotte." Jack called his daughters name from inside of the voice causing the two girls to snap back to reality and Charlotte to pull the phone away from Carly. "We're leaving now."
"I should probably get going then," Charlotte told her obviously wanting to get rid of the awkward tension that had filled the two of them and to follow her father's orders "It was great seeing you again Carly."
"You too." Carly nodded back at her as Charlotte pulled herself up off the decking and made her way back inside, leaving Carly alone outside.
Carly watched her walk away and inside the house, before she disappeared into the hallway of the home and arrived at the front door beside her father who was bidding farewell to John.
She exhaled loudly, before she picked up the water and took the last remaining sip out of glass to try to relieve some of the stress that she was feeling, as well as the emotions seeing Charlotte again had brought up for her.
Carly would never have blamed Charlotte for what happened that year. Charlotte was just being the older big sister like she always had been to Carly, ever since Carly moved in next door to Charlotte and her family when Carly was five years old.
Through her childhood and up to her teenage years, Carly looked up to Charlotte as being her older sister, someone she could go to for girl advice regarding things like puberty and fashion since Carly had no one else female in her life to talk to about those types of things.
Even when Charlotte had gone off to college two hours away from where they lived in Rosewood, Charlotte would always come back at the weekends and during the holiday's to see her family, as well as Carly. It wasn't her fault that Carly had gotten in with the wrong crowd back then. She never told her to go over to them. Carly had done that all by herself without Charlotte's enthusiasm to push her.
~Flash Back~
It was a quiet Friday evening in Rosewood, most of the residents were returning home from work to be with their families and put their feet up for the weekend, kids were out playing on the climbing frames in their backyards whilst teenagers were heading to friend's houses for parties or sleepovers.
On the other hand, senior Carly Monroe was sitting on the bench in the corner of her back yard with a History textbook open beside her with a notepad on her lap and a pen in one hand studying for her final year of high school.
Some would consider her crazy and a geek for spending her friend night at home all alone studying for an exam whilst other people her age were out having fun and not caring about their school work for just one night.
But Carly wasn't like most people her age, her career and her education came before anything, so if it meant that she would spend her week days going to school, then studying after school till bed and spending her weekend's doing the same, then so be it if it meant she would get into her dream college and become a detective like she had wanted.
Just as she flicked over the page in her text book, the sound of a loud girly shriek came from her neighbour's back yard causing her to avert her attention in the direction of the scream.
Carly rolled her eyes with a small smirk tugging at the corner of her lips when she realised who it was, her next door neighbour Charlotte and her friends were hanging out in the back yard.
She was hoping they weren't going to make too much noise since she enjoyed studying in the back yard in the late summer air in a hoodie, jean shorts, her hair tied up in a messy top not and minimal makeup with no one to disturb her.
However, she spoke too soon on that one when the sound of Charlotte climbing up onto the decking on the side of her yard and glanced over the fence at Carly who was also looking back at her.
"Hello Miss Monroe." Charlotte bellowed over the fence causing Carly to laugh at how cheerful she sounded.
"Hi Charlotte." Carly replied dropping her pen down on her notebook.
"Why is that whenever I look out of my window I can see you with your head buried in some school book in that same spot and in the same high school hoodie." Charlotte teased her which only could make Carly laugh lightly under her breath.
"Because I'm busy studying for my test." She answered like she was stating the obvious.
"A test that is probably not even due till the end of this week? Am I right?" Charlotte guessed which made Carly lower her head slightly embarrassed and only made Charlotte amused, she knew Carly way too well. "Why don't you just have some fun and ditch the book's just for one night?"
"And do what?" Carly questioned looking over at her with raised eyebrows.
"Come out with me and the girls."
"No way! That's not fair on your friends I can't just come with you guys."
"C'mon Carl's! You're basically family; the girl's love you just as much as I do." Charlotte begged with hopeful eyes.
"I don't know I feel bad." Carly shrugged.
"Please Carly. You were in Washington the whole summer and I didn't get to see you once." Charlotte sighed dramatically "This is my last night in town Carly before I head back to college, please don't let me down before I go away tomorrow."
Carly was unsure of what she should do since Charlotte had so unexpectedly asked her to go out with her and her friends, whatever that meant anyway but still she had promised she would stay at the house tonight and study whilst he worked late at the hospital. But one night away from studying wouldn't hurt surely? Especially when History was one of the classes she was passing with flying colours and had the whole week to study more.
Plus Charlotte was someone who didn't give up until she got what she wanted and Carly didn't want to miss the opportunity to hang out with the girl she considered a sister especially when it was Charlotte's last night in town before heading back to college the following day. Cary owed that to her at least.
"Fine I'll go." Carly threw her hands up in the air before grabbing her studying equipment and standing up with it in her arms. "What have you guy's got planned?"
"We're heading to a gathering on the outskirts of town just a few friends for high school." Charlotte informed her causing Carly's smile to drop slightly.
"Like a party?"
"Yes Carly. It will be like a party" Charlotte laughed as Carly wondered over to the fence and Charlotte noticed the look on Carly's face. "Relax. You've been to parties before so what's the issue?"
To be honest, it wasn't that parties weren't her scene because she had been to high school parties before with her friends where she had been hit on countless of times by a few of the guys from the school basketball team and gotten tipsy a few times from the punch. But she didn't really know what to expect from a gathering with college people? Would they think of her as a high schooler, a kid and someone who was a dork?
"Nothing." Carly was quick to answer and gave Charlotte a reassuring smile. "Just haven't been involved with an older crowd before."
"You'll love it." Charlotte relieved her before motioning her hand towards Carly's house.
Charlotte knew that deep down Carly had a fun side of her past the studying and career goals. It was obvious she was one of the popular girl's at school but she couldn't seem to see that. Charlotte knew all about the guys who had been hitting on her throughout high school and Carly had just brushed off about it because it wasn't something she cared about. But Charlotte wanted to change that. She wanted that fun side of Carly to come out and she wanted her to find her first love.
"Now go get ready we're leaving soon. Dress to impress Miss Monroe."
The sound of music, laughing and talking could be heard once the girls had pulled up outside a dirt track just on the outskirts of town. At this point in time, Carly's nerves had increased rapidly and all she could think about was how much trouble she was going to be in if her Dad arrived home from his night shift before she could get back from the party.
The four of them stepped out of one of the girl's car which was parked alongside the other cars at the end of the track. Charlotte grinned at her friends when she saw how excited they all looked and knew how much fun they were going to have here tonight seeing all the people they went to school with.
For Carly she knew that she would most probably stand out like a sore thumb compared with the others that were going to be at the gathering. This was one of the main reasons why she lagged behind the other girls on the way through the dirt track and towards the green area forest area where the party was taking place.
Charlotte was the first one to notice how uncomfortable and how far behind Carly was from the rest of them. Part of her felt bad for dragging her out of study session and to an event with groups of people she had never met before. But she did not regret it in the slightest because she knew that Carly needed to have fun and let loose sometimes. It was also the perfect chance for her to spend some time with the girl she considered a sister.
Slowing down to let Carly catch up, Charlotte turned her head round to face the teenager "C'mon Carls. Everything will be fine. Just relax."
"I'm fine." Carly tried to tell her but with the look of accusation on Charlotte's face, Carly knew that Charlotte did not believe her. "Ok… I'm just a bit apprehensive. I'm going to stick out so much."
"Why? Because you're a teenager in high school?"
"Yes!"
"No one will know that unless you tell them." Charlotte reassured her and wrapped her arm around the girls back. "Smile little Monroe."
Rolling her eyes playfully, she nudged Charlotte off her and let out a light laugh knowing that her friend was right. She had to just relax and act the part. There was no point showing the strangers at the party that she was some uncomfortable teenager who was still in school and had been studying hard moments before turning up here.
Charlotte joined in her laughter for a brief moment until they reached the entrance of where the party was. Carly's eyes flashed away from Charlotte and over to the crowded scene in front of her.
There was a mixture of girls and guys scattered over the dirt and wood area of where the gathering was being held. Rocks, tree stumps and logs were being used at seating areas, where people sat in groups chatting away to one another reminiscing about high school memories, as well as catching up with one another.
Drinks in bright red cups and beer bottles were in their hands like any other party, the loud rumbles of laughter came from one of the corners of the area where a group of guys were busying smoking some substance and joking around with each other, a speaker and an iPod beside them where the music was coming from.
The air was thick with drug and alcohol fumes but it did not seem to bother Carly that people were getting intoxicated. The only thing that seemed to bother her or catch her eye in fact, was the guy she thought she would never ever see again and here he was in a place like this, right there, staring right at her just like she was gazing back at him.
She could not believe he was actually here. She could not believe that she was seeing him again after that day at Melissa's when she had first set eyes on him. This was getting so weird for her, especially when he was staring right back at her like he had remembered her from that day.
She believed that he would not have remembered her since that was weeks ago and right back at the start of the summer. It was already the first week since Carly had been back at school.
"Carly." Charlotte yelled over the music trying to get her attention when she had noticed Carly came to a stop at the entrance of the party.
Charlotte's eyes trailed in the direction in which Carly was looking and a small smirk formed on her lips when she saw who she was staring at. Instead of calling her name again, the older girl wondered over to the teenager and wrapped her arm around her causing Carly to quickly jump out of her trance.
"Uh, sorry." Carly apologised as she let Charlotte lead her away and over to a group of people Carly did not recognise.
Charlotte unwrapped her arm from Carly's back when she spotted some of the girl's she also use to go to school with and it wasn't long before Charlotte was running into their arms.
Whilst Charlotte and her friends were catching up with their old friends, this left Carly nothing better to do than grab one of the red cups off one of the tree stumps before taking a large sip out of the alcoholic beverage to try make her fit in with the rest of the crowd and not like a lost puppy.
The taste at first burnt the back of her throat and made her stomach go all weird since she had not had any form of alcohol in a while, it was a taste that once you got used to it after a few sips it went away. The last time must have had any must been at the end of junior year party that some guy in her grade held at his house. But since then she had not been to any parties or had the need to drink alcohol till now.
It had been about half an hour into the party when Carly had realised that coming to a party without knowing anyone apart from Charlotte and her friends was a bad idea. All she had done since she had got there was sit alone upon one of the logs on the outskirts of the party and take sips out of her drink. She just hoped that she could head home sometime soon.
Suddenly the sound of footsteps against the dirt and the feel of someone presents beside her, caused her heart rate to increase slightly before she titled her head to the side to see who it was.
"Hello stranger." Jason said to her his voice slightly soft and daring which could only make her heart pound more.
"Hey." Carly greeted back happily as she turned more to see him and tried to hide the nerves she felt inside.
"I'm quite surprised to see you here since you're one of Melissa's friends." Jason teased flashing a mischievous smile at her.
She could feel her stomach flutter at the smile that graced his lips, her heart was already pounding by this point and she was pretty sure that it was going to fall out of her chest sometime soon. She hated what this guy was doing to her already and knew that she needed to control herself.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Carly questioned accusingly although by the smile on her face, Jason knew that she was just messing around as well.
"Just didn't think I'd see one of Melissa's friends here since these parties were never really her and her friend's scene when we were in high school."
"Well maybe I'm different." Carly told him as she brought the cup up to her lips to sip and she glanced over the plastic at him.
"Maybe you are." Jason flirted which caused Carly to nearly spit her drink out in surprise.
She honestly was so amazed that Jason had flirted with her so easily and confidently. She could not believe her luck right now, that some older guy who she had never even had a proper conversation with was taking interest in her. The same guy that she was considering herself interested in also for the first time ever.
Jason bobbed his head over to the group of girl's opposite them trying to spark up more of a conversation with Carly "So how do you know Charlotte?"
Carly followed his gaze over to where Charlotte was chatting to a group of girl's; a grin was prominent on her face as she occasionally took sips from her own drink "She's my next door neighbour." Carly answered him.
"I was thinking that I had never seen you around before apart from at the Hasting's place."
"Yeah I probably should not even be here." Carly laughed as she finished off the rest of her drink and placed the cup on the dirt below her.
"Why's that?"
"I'm in my last year of high school." She told him honestly and part of her did not even care that she was spilling the truth to Jason.
She blamed the alcohol in her system for that action, although he seemed like such a nice guy that she doubt he would even care that she was still in school. She probably would never even see him again after tonight, so why did it matter?
"Oh so you are off to college after this year." Jason guessed as Carly nodded in reply. "Where are you going?"
"New York." Carly told him proudly which could only make him smile more than he already was.
"Nice! What are you planning on studying?"
Carly couldn't help but lower her head slightly at this, knowing that if she admitted to him that she was interested in the law enforcement then why the hell would she be at a party, drinking underage and most certainly around drug users.
"If I told you, you would probably just laugh in my face." She answered lightly as she looked to the floor.
Before Jason could reply back, someone wrapped their arms around his neck and jokingly put him in a head lock position "Hey Jason, you look pretty snug over here with…" Ian the guy who was also from the back yard that day looked over at Carly. "Oh hey I remember you from Melissa's yard that day, nice to see you again."
"It's nice to see you too." Carly smiled at him as he unwrapped himself from Jason.
"I'm Ian." He introduced himself to Carly as he held out his hand to her in which she reluctantly took.
"Carly." She informed him as she shook his hand before letting go of it.
Ian flashed a smile in her direction before turning to look back at Jason "So are you ready to you know what man…"
"Uh…" Jason gave Ian a look as to say 'shut up' before flashing a reassuring smile at Carly who was now looking between the two in confusion.
"Ah right, jeez sorry. I'll catch up with you later man," Ian replied as he looked over at Carly one last time. "It was great seeing you Carly."
"You too Ian." Carly said back as Ian waved them goodbye and sauntered over to a group of guys in one of the corners of the area.
"Wow Ian managed to get a name out of you even before I could." Jason smirked at her which caught her attention immediately.
"All you had to do was ask." She teased.
"Okay so what about a number then?"
Carly blinked back at him in shock and her breathed hitched in her throat at what she was hearing coming out his mouth. She could not believe that he actually wanted her number, meaning there was a slight possibility that he wanted to speak to her again after tonight.
"Sure." She smirked back at him as he pulled out his cell phone from his back pocket and handed it over to her to put her number in.
Carefully she took the device from him and put her number into one of the new contacts before handing it back to him. The same playful daring smile was on his face as he took it back from her and motioned the cup of drink he had in his hands towards her.
Staring down at the liquid, she gradually took it from him and looked back up at him with a playful grin. She was acting way too comfortable and confident around him that it actually felt good for once to feel at ease with a guy, instead of feeling like they were going to hit on her or ask to get in her knickers by the end of the night, something she avoided at all costs.
But with Jason, it just felt different. Something inside of her was begging her to stay around this guy and not let go of him. He was someone she thought that she was actually interested in and liked how it felt when she was around him. He made her feel comfortable, content and like she could be herself without acting up. She liked that so much already.
However, she had now idea that after that meeting, things would change completely. She would not be the good girl everyone once thought she was. As an alternative, she would grow closer to Jason who meant alcohol; partying and being around drugs became more of a daily experience for her more than anything. It also meant lots more drama for her, drama that she really wasn't prepared for.
~End of Flashback~
Carly hated how her mind always seemed to wonder back to Jason at the most ridiculous of times. It always seemed to be at night as well, when she was all alone or when she bumped into someone from her past.
She still wasn't completely over him and she knew that if her mind kept going back over the events from when she was a senior in high school and that summer, she was never going to be able to reach that goal of getting Jason out of her life and not only just her mind.
