Girl Behind The Red Door Confessions
Chapter 24
But, our biggest regrets are not for the things we did - but, for the things we didn't do. Things we didn't say that could've save someone that we care about. Especially when we can see the dark storm that's headed their way."
Jamie sat on the beach. Under one of the many shady trees. Looking out at the waves in front of him. When he heard, his name being called. Causing him to turn his head around. Looking up to see Chuck looking back at him.
"Did you lose your phone or something.? I've been texting you." Chuck asked looking to him.
"No I left it at home." "For that exact reason, I didn't want people bothering me with texts and calls." "What is so important that you had to track me down like this.?" Jamie asked. Looking back at him.
"I had to know if the rumor I heard was true so I figured I would go straight to the source." Chuck said.
"Well what is it Chuck.?" Jamie asked. Not bothering to hid his annoyance.
"I heard you quit the team but I knew that had to be a rumor because." Chuck began to say. Jamie looked back at him. Starting to speak cutting him off.
"It is no rumor it's true." "I'm no longer a Raven." Jamie said.
Looking out at the waves again.
"Jamie that makes no sense you love basketball and everything that comes with it." Chuck said to him.
"Actually, I don't and this is the end of this conversation because I have to go." Jamie said. Getting up as he went to his car. Leaving the beach.

Sawyer was in awe at the photographs and art features. That were stunning put together with a real love of their craft. A variety of colors and personal touches. Looking around she saw other people taken by everything as much as she was. Which made her full of happiness. She had been sketching so much lately. It was as if she was given this completely new perspective. And wanted to create and express herself as much as she could. If she was being honest she missed Jamie. He had been a part of her life for years. But she understood his decision. And was glad that the triangle between himself, her and Madison had ended. As far as she was concerned boys were not on the agenda this summer. The only thing she was focused on was becoming the best version of herself possible.
"Hopefully my message comes across clearly." "This is the first time my paintings have been out on display and it took a lot of convincing to make it happen." The voice said. From behind him.
Turning around to see who the voice was realizing she didn't know who this person was.
"Hi I'm Ryan Jacobs. He said. Extending his hand to her.
"I'm Sawyer Jagielski." "Nice to meet you this place is incredible." Sawyer said. Looking to him.
"Thanks, my parents will be glad to hear that their place is getting such a warm reception from the residents of Tree Hill." Ryan said to her.
"How can it not be it's completely captivating." Sawyer said.
"All those years of travel and hours of drawing are being appreciated." "I really admire them for following their dreams and opening up this place." Ryan said in response.
"I will be bringing by my friends and family so look out for more new customers." Sawyer said. As she headed towards the door.
"I will do just that." "It was nice meeting you Sawyer." Ryan said.
"See you around Ryan." Sawyer said. As she waved goodbye.

"It's nice being able to get some time alone." "We've been pretty busy with Dakota I really appreciate your parents babysitting for us." Juliet said. Looking over at him.
"Trust me they have no problem watching her anytime." "And I know what you mean." Matt said. Looking into her eyes. As he took her hand.
"You've handled everything we've went through with such grace and strength." "I couldn't imagine living this life and raising our daughter without you." "All of our days won't be filled with these quiet afternoons and without problems that will arise. But I know that together we can get through everything and anything and I want to give you the life that you deserve and promise to continue to be the person who is deserving of your love." "Juliet Karen Scott." "Will you marry me.?" Matt asked. As he kneeled down on one knee. With a ring in front of her.
Tears in her eyes. As she starts to speak. "Yes Matt of course I will." "I love you so much." Juliet said. Tears running down her face.
While he leaned over kissing her. Slipping the ring on her finger. Taking her in his arms.
