Thanks for the reviews! I'm glad you guys like it so far, it's kinda depressing when looking for Lackson and you can't find one. Ok, so some of the kisses are based on a song, so the lines of the song that the kiss is based on is added aswell.
See You
And I walk out in silence
That's when I start to realize
What you bring to my life
Damn this guy can make me cry- Contagious, Avril Lavigne
Lilly smiled as Jackson tried to juggle water bottles again to try and impress some girls who just ordered them. He failed miserably and they landed on the counter where the girls picked them up and walked away. Jackson sighed and put his elbows on the table, resting his face in his hands.
Lilly looked around for Miley, who she was supposed to meet her here an hour ago and hadn't heard from her friend once. Deciding that Miley wasn't coming after all, Lilly walked up to the counter at Rico's and sat down opposite Jackson.
"Hey." Lilly said. Jackson didn't say anything or look at her. Man, he must be really depressed. "I liked your juggling act."
"Yeah, right." He said, standing up straight now and looking at her. "You just liked it because it was funny."
"No… ok, yeah. But if you keep practicing, maybe you will perfect it." She said.
"No Lilly, I should try and find something else to impress girls with. But what, what do girls like? I've tried everything and I still can't get a date." Jackson said, wiping the counter top.
I like you, just the way you are. Lilly thought, but didn't say this out loud. "You just need to keep searching for the right girl."
"Yeah, and who would that be?" Jackson asked. "If you can direct me in the direction where the perfect girl for me would be, I would do anything for you."
"Well, I don't know if I could point you in the right direction…"
"I was being sarcastic Lilly."
"Oh, sorry." She said and sighed. "How about someone who hangs out with the guys all the time, knows what guys like and can get along with you well. Someone who is maybe athletic, something different from all the other girl you've dated."
"Yeah, and who would that be? You? Yeah, sorry, but you see there isn't a girl out there for me." Jackson said. Lilly felt her eyes sting, he just rejected her, even though he probably didn't even know it.
"Thanks a lot Jackson." She said, the tears falling down her face. Jackson's face softened, but Lilly turned around and ran away and into Miley.
"Sorry I'm late Lilly…" She trailed off as she saw the tear stains on Lilly's cheek. "What happened?"
"Lilly?" Jackson called from behind her. Lilly ran past Miley and ran towards the beach, hearing both Stewart siblings calling after her. She kept running until she made it to the shoreline of the ocean.
The water reached her toes and she shivered, it was cold. She kept on walking until the water was up her knees. The wind then picked up and Lilly's shivered, wrapping her arms around her body.
"Lilly!" She heard a voice from behind her. There was Jackson, making his way towards her. Lilly was about to go deeper into the ocean, but didn't. That would be foolish and stupid. "Lilly, are you ok?"
"No." She said softly, closing her eyes and turning her face down at the water that was hitting her around her legs. Her shorts were getting wet now and it was getting overcast.
"Can we get out of the water? It's getting cold." Jackson said. Lilly looked up at him and saw the goosebumps on his arms. She shrugged and turned around, Jackson following her. They waded back to the shore and sat down on the sand.
Lilly was just thinking about Jackson and why she liked him. They had a lot in common, Lilly and Jackson embarrassed Miley non-stop, something she always told her. Both liked almost the same things…
Then why couldn't Jackson see it?
"Lilly, why did you cry back there? What was that about, you never cry." Jackson said.
Lilly took in a deep breath and looked at Jackson. "It was you, you can't see what's right there in front of you. You go after these girls because of their looks and you aren't yourself when you go out, you're always pretending to be something you aren't. You never took the time to notice that there was actually a girl there right in front of you who liked you for who you are."
"Lilly, if-"
"I'm not finished. You only ever thought of me as Miley's best friend, Lilly Truscott. The skater girl. The freshman girl or whatever you want to call-" Lilly was cut off as Jackson's face moved closer to hers and touched her lips lightly. Lilly closed her eyes and leaned forwards, pressing her lips on his. She put her hands around his neck while Jackson's hands pulled her closer to him. Both smiled into the kiss, enjoying it. But it ended by Jackson breaking away.
"I guess I finally see you."
Hhm, you know, that's all true. Jackson is always trying to be something he isn't just so he can get a date and the only girl he's himself around is Lilly. I liked this one, it's not my absolute favourite, but I'm fine with it. Let me know what you guys think.
