Hey guess what! I'm a jerk. I know, I know, I know. I am beyond sorry for not updating in so long. It was a mix between DWB (Dreaded Writer's Block as Baylee and I say) and my life just being absolutely NUTS! Like… wow. Just… just read…

Big Fan: Lol, thank you darling! Haha, they just came to me(; Anyways… it's alright, I get it, teenage lives are indeed hectic. And OHMYGOSH! RIGHT? I was thinking, "God-dammnit! I wish Leonardo DiCaprio would hold me like that and sing lullabies in my ear and then kiss me and… ah…" Yeah, that's my fantasy(; But thanks for your review! What'd you see, Breaking Dawn? My friend said it had the trailer on it(;

Love AND MANY, MANY, MANY APOLOGIES!

Lauren(;

P.S. Rated M for language… kind of, no, Rated M for language.

"What?" James asked again as he watched Jack and I stare at each other nervously. Jack's face was calm, and it made me worried. In fact, he didn't look shocked at all.

A realization then hit me in the head like a speeding train.

"You already knew," I whispered. Jack gulped and looked away, rubbing his fingers through his hair.

"Laurel, we really have to go." James said, partly because we did really need to go, but also because he knew it that this was getting awkward.

"You knew," I said again, this time louder.

I was angry.

No, I was beyond angry.

"You already knew!"

"Laurel calm down," Jack said, trying to get me to not create a scene.

"You already fucking new!" I yelled. Jack furrowed his brows and looked back up at me.

"I'm sorry-"

"You're sorry? You're sorry! You knew I was dying inside knowing you were my father and I couldn't tell you, when you already knew and you're, "Sorry"?" I screamed, getting more furious with each word I spoke. "Did you know about my mom, too?"

He looked at me for a moment before giving his answer.

"Yes."

My jaw slightly dropped, but I shut it quickly, trying to remain composed.

"You knew my mother, the woman you risked your life for, was alive, and you were going to marry someone else. You were going to let her marry someone else-"

"Well I didn't know that someone else would try to kill me!"

"It doesn't matter Jack!" I argued. "It doesn't matter. If you really loved my mother… you would've said something."

"Don't you dare, ever, for one second, think I don't love your mother." He said, taking a step closer, and placing a hand on my cheek, as a tear ran down it.

"You're right," I said. "If you loved me… you would've said something."

That shut him up.

I slowly took his hand off my face, and walked down the last three steps over to James, who stood in the same spot for almost a minute as I walked off. He eventually jogged up to me, but I didn't speak to him. I didn't even look at him.

All I did was cry.

He placed his arm around me gently, and I tugged at his fingers. It began to flurry, ever so slightly, but just enough for James to stick out his tongue to catch a few flakes. I chuckled, and he smiled at me. I rolled my eyes, and then stuck out my tongue as well. He laughed, too. I then wiped away most of my tears as we grew closer to the house. I began up the steps, when James gently grabbed hold of my elbow.

"Laurel," he said softly so no one inside could here. "Are you, are you alright?"

I stared at him for a long moment, a few more tears flying here and there, before I finally shook my head. He smiled weakly, and let go, then let me walk into the restaurant. A tiny bell ringed over head, and I looked up, even though I anticipated it.

"Where have you two been?" My mother snapped as we walked inside. She threw off her greasy apron, and walked around the counter. She came over to me and placed her hand on my forehead.

"Are you sick or something?" She asked in an angry tone.

"No, ma'am," I replied.

"Then why on Earth didn't you call? You had me worried half to death!" I looked away, then walked past her towards grandma.

"I Granny," I said as I kissed her on the forehead. She smiled and patted my hand.

I smiled politely at Kara and her mother, then walked towards the stairs.

"Go wash up for dinner!" My mother yelled as I ran up the stairs. I walked into the bathroom, and shut the door behind me. I locked it quickly, then leaned against the door. I slid down it slowly and sat on the tiled floor. I began to cry again, and a few sobs escaped my mouth, creating a loud sound. I pulled my knees up to my chest, and buried my face in between them.

This hurt more than anything had ever hurt before.

This hurt more than my mother getting married.

This hurt more than Jack getting married.

This hurt more than Will betraying me.

This hurt more than anything had ever hurt before.

"Laurel! Get down here this instant!" My mother yelled again. I sniffled, and wiped underneath my nose. I pulled away from my legs and sat up, wiping my entire face with my hands. All I wanted to do was crawl up into a little ball again and sleep… just escape. I just wanted to get away from this all.

When it hit me…

I could.
