its been a long time since i have updated so sorry for that but im here now so enjoy.

It's been a week since they all settled down at the house. Greg gave everyone better rooms which meant that Mason had her own room. Although Kate was just on the other side of the hall.

There was a soft knock on the door while Mason was unpacking her clothes. Mason scoffed thinking it was Kate trying to make her do her unpacking for her. "Kate I will not unpack your clothes for you. I did it back at the motel and you complained about ho…"

"Not Kate" Riley interrupted her as he walked inside the room with his hands up in surrender. Mason looked him carefully wondering what the fuck he could want from her.

"Oh it's just you" She said in a casual voice. She could feel a lump start to grow in her throat. Im not gonna cry every time i see him. She got up from her place and quietly unpacked the last of her clothes. Her room was now clean and organized as she always likes her things to be. The bed was made, the couch in the corner was filled with pillows that Max had given her, and the floor was dirt free. She still had her snow globes that Daniel gave her for their birthday and it was sitting on the coffee table that was neatly placed in front of the couch.

"Look Riley is there something you want to say because I have to get downstairs and help with the gardening." Mason said while walking around the room trying to find things to do after Riley kept staring at her far too long. He had blue jeans and a black t-shirt just like he always wears. Mason couldn't help but remember all the times she had woken up staring at his many different black shirts hanging on the always open closet he has in his room. She would always smile and turn herself towards him and lay at his side. He would grab her closer to him and play with her hair. Sometimes they would stay that way for hours until they realized that they had ditched school unknowingly. Mason was pulled away from her thoughts by Riley coughing awkwardly.

"Didn't you have to get downstairs? Cause it seems that you're not in a hurry" he chuckled. He knew that Mason rarely daydreamed but found it completely amusing when she did.

"Sorry.." she cleared her throat trying to look away at him. "I guess I was in another world for a second there." She sat down in her couch and stared at her coffee table. "A much better world" she whispered to herself. I didn't think I actually missed him after all this time of being angry at him.

He watched her starting to get lost in her thoughts so he started to talk. "You know…" Riley spoke softly making Mason look up at him. "We never really talked about… what happened." Mason shifted uncomfortably and a feeling of nervousness crept up on her. She stared at him while playing with her hands.

"I don't think we should do this now. In fact there really isn't anything to talk about" Mason finally spoke. She got up from the couch and passed Riley who had his hands in his pockets. He wanted to say something but couldn't find the courage to say what he felt. Im sorry Mason. He watched as she opened the door and looked at him with a heartbreaking face that made him want to go back in time and push Leslie off him before anything ever happened.

"So basically all you have to do is make sure it clicks and that's how you know it's ready to shoot." Aiden instructed while Jamie did as he said. She loaded the gun and was ready to shoot it when Aiden grabbed the gun from her hands. "Don't shoot it now though. It's hard to find ammo."

Jamie nodded and thanked him for the lesson. She was wearing a black tank top, blue ripped jeans and black boots. Her chest nut colored hair was in a loose pony tail making some strands of hair fall to her face.

"Well I should go but I'll see you tonight?" she asked smiling. Her hands reached her hair ad started to gently tug on it; its a nervous habit that she cant seem to quit. She spent a lot of time with him and started to develop a little crush on him. I doubt he will ever like me back though. She was right in a way; Aiden wasn't sure what he felt towards her but he knew it couldn't possibly be love, at least not yet anyway, he barely knew her. Aiden only met a week ago and he's not the type of guy to rush his feelings.

"Yeah… the tree right?" he asked unloading the gun that Jamie was practicing with and put the ammo in his pockets.

"Yep" Jamie said waiting for him to look at her or show any attention towards her. Aiden, still clueless, never looked up from what he was doing and once he was done he turned around and left.

He probably just forgot I was there again.

After Mason left Riley standing there alone in her room she realized she didn't want to work anymore. She was already gardening some tomatoes for half an hour and she just wanted to think about what he said alone in her room. He said he wanted to talk about what happened but… maybe he has a good excuse. NO! nothing will ever let me forgive him. He was a selfish asshole and slept with Leslie. God but I think I still love him. How could I not… he was perfect for me.

"Mason? Are you feeling ok?" Melissa, one of the residents, looked at me curiously. "You haven't answered my question."

Mason looked at her completely clueless and quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, must have spaced out. What was the question?"

Melissa looked at her and chuckled "It's ok, I asked if you wanted to take a break cause you seem distracted?"

"Oh that's convenient" I chuckled nervously. "If you're offering I won't object." She said with tired eyes. Melissa gave her permission to leave and Mason couldn't have gone up to her room fast enough. She passed her dad and muttered an excuse for not doing her work but he wasn't paying attention. She just wanted to lay down, maybe even shower.

"Hey! Quick question" Jack shouted after her. The cute guy that hasn't spoken a full sentence since they all got there. Mason couldn't resist, he was just to interesting. She turned herself and watched him walk up to her. Man, our babies would be so perfect…

"Do you know where Daniel is?" Really? That's the question? Mason thought about it for a second and remembered him saying something about a river.

"I think I remember him saying something about a river…does that mean anything to you?" Mason watched as Jack started thinking.

"There isn't a river around here... what the hell does he mean." Jack looked flustered talking to himself but Mason got too distracted to notice.

Mason looked at him closely and saw that he had a godlike face. His jaw was sharp with a little stubble showing. His eyes were brown and surprisingly sparkly. His lips were so... indescribable. He was just genuinely a handsome man.

Mason realized she was staring but he was too busy thinking. His eyes lit up and he looked at Mason with a smile that revealed dimples.

"Yeah I know where he is!" he ran past Mason muttering a thanks while he ran out the door.

Mason sighed and continued her path to her room. She opened her door and finally saw her beautiful bed just waiting for her.

"Oh thank god" She said happily. She dropped down on her bed and moaned at the comfortableness she felt.

"umm should I leave you two alone?" Riley said grinning, still in her room since before.

"Oh my god" she immediately jumped from her bed. "You're still here?" she left her bed and stood up.

"Yeah… im sorry I just wanted to talk." He said in a quiet voice. Mason looked at him and she felt her feelings pour out of her. Her heart beat strongly and she felt like falling in his arms again. She wanted to wake up next to him again. To feel him next to her, touching her hair like he used to once they cuddled together. To laugh at his lame jokes and watch movies like they used to. To spoil the endings of those movies to each other and watch as the other got frustrated. She wanted to fight with him again, to love with him again, to cry and to be with him again. But how can she get past this. Maybe she should just move on..

"Fine. Let's talk."
