Prompt: Lola dumps Jackson and Romona feels guilty, the two talk.

Set after the Declaration of Independence episode.

Romona raised her fist and then lowered it. Then she raises it again and froze. She was having trouble knocking on the door. The door was the not the problem, the person on the other side of the door was the problem.

Jackson was the problem. More accurately, what happened that day between Jackson and Lola was the problem.

She felt guilty. Lola had just broken up with Jackson and she sort of helped her do it.

She hated hurting Jackosn but it was for the best.

He gave Lola his all and she didn't realize how amazing he was. He was constantly putting her first and Lola could care less. Lola was more interested in having someone fawn over her than actually putting time into a relationship. She was tired of seeing Jackson be all sweet for a girl that didn't deserve it, even it was her friend. Lola didn't deserve Jackson and that was why she helped Lola break up with him.

But the look on his face when Lola stood up and announced in front of everyone, made her feel horrible. That was a horrible way to break up with someone, in front of people.

Romona couldn't wait for Lola to leave and was happy when Lola left. She half-heartedly waved goodbye and then proceeded to ignore her phone calls. She texted Lola and told her that she was busy. She was too busy feeling guilty and not knowing what to do to help Jackson.

So here she was, outside his door trying to figure out what she could do to help Jackson after she hurt him.

Suddenly the door swung open and she found herself facing Max, who raised an eyebrow at her. He walked out the door mumbling something about romance and teddy bears and Rose.

She smiled faintly. Max and Rose were too cute for words and she honestly hoped they ended up married one day. If anyone ended up marrying thier first love, it would be Msx.

Then she sighed, the door was open. She couldn't put this off any longer, no matter how badly she wished she could.

She entered the room and stood at the door, eyes on the bed.

"Jackson?"

Jackson sitting on his bed, a teddy bear in his hand. He didn't make a move to hide it or anything and Romona felt her heart hurt.

"Can I sit?"

He didn't say anything to her and she sat down next to him. They both sat shoulder to shoulder, him fiddling with a teddy bear, her scraping at her nail polish. Finally, the silence became too much for Romona (and she had scrapped off all her nail polish).

"I'm sorry."

She had to say it.

He shrugged.

"You didn't give her the idea. She chose to break up with me."

"But I helped her, she asked me to pretend to be you earlier today and I joked about it. I should have given you a heads up or something."

"But it was her choice in the first place."

There was silence in between the two teens. Then Jackson sighed and licked his lips.

"Romona, be honest with me. Did she ever love me? Did she ever care?"

Romona paused, thinking.

"She did care but it wasn't enough. Lola thought you were nice, too nice sometimes."

Jackson scoffed.

"Nice."

"But I don't think she loved you. We are only thirteen after all, what do we know about love? Hell, look at my parents, look at your family. They are all adults and they are still figuring out this whole love thing."

Jackson's face fell as the revelation of Lola not caring but he didn't seem to surprise. It hit her that on some level, Jackson must have known.

"I had a feeling. I just really liked her. Lola was that one girl, my dream girl and when she actually looked my way I was so happy. I put her on this pedestal and that was a mistake."

"Live and learn."

Romona placed her head on his shoulder and reached for his hand.

Maybe she helped Lola break up with Jackson but it was for the best.

"It's for the best, you know. Most relationships this young don't last. Plus you deserve better."

"Romana!"

She laughed and squeezed his hand.

"She's my friend and all but you deserve better. You deserve someone who will care and love you with everything they have, the way you love others. You deserve someone who knows the little things about you, someone who gets you. Someone who will appreciate everything you do."

Jackosn sighed and he rested his head against her head.

"I guess I got time. There is high school and the rest of my life."

"You will find her one day."

"And you will find him one day too."

the two teens let the silence set in around them.

"Hey, Romona."

"Yeah, Jackson."

"Thanks and no matter, it's always going to be you and me."

"Always."

Max barged in, making them jump and but he made no comment towards them. He simply plopped onto his bed and buried himself under the covers and fell asleep quickly. The whole day had drained him of his energy.

Romona and Jackson settled themselves on the bed again. Heads resting against each other, holding hands until Jackson felt Romona beginning to fall alseep on his shoulder and he had to help her to her room and tucked her in.

He turned off the light in her room.

"Thank you Romona. I don't deserve you but I hope that one day I do. You are the best frend anyone can have."

Not to fond of the ending, but it's cute.

Things have been crazy and I am feeling so out of it. Thank goodness I have fanfiction.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Love you Wallflowers.
