Chapter Two

" Jackson it's raining hard! We should head back!" yelled Daley. It was raining hard and that was all you could hear.

"Yeah, maybe Melissa, Lex and Eric found Taylor!" Nathan added.

"I'm not stopping until I'm sure, you guys go back I know this place very well. If I don't find Taylor in the next 30 minutes I'll come back" Jackson said.

"Are you sure?" asked Daley. She didn't want to leave Jackson on his own and risk him getting lost too.

"Positive" he replied.

"Be very careful" said Daley giving Jackson a hug.

"And if you get lost stay exactly where you are and we'll find you" said Nathan.

"Yes mom, yes dad" said Jackson joking and with that Nathan and Daley were gone and Jackson was alone still looking for Taylor.

When Nathan and Daley got back to the site they saw Eric, Lex and Melissa sitting outside.

"You guys its pouring rain. Why aren't you in the tent? Did you find Taylor?" Daley asked.

"Number one we're out her because Miss Drama hasn't been found and that answers your second question. If Taylor wasn't such a drama queen we wouldn't be here right now" said Eric.

"Eric! I've had enough of your attitude! What the hell has Taylor ever done to you? Yeah, at first she wasn't the nicest person but she changed! I thought you changed into a better person too but I was obviously wrong!" yelled Melissa. No one had ever heard Melissa yell like that and everyone looked at her shocked, "What I'm pissed off, aren't you guys?" she asked.

"Eric she's right why did you do that to Taylor?" asked Lex.

"Because you guys deserved to know the truth about her. She's not perfect like she acts like she is. Her life isn't good and she's not happy" Eric said.

"She said she would tell us when she was ready and I believe she would have and now because of you she's lost. Its lucky we have Jackson still out there looking for her!" yelled Daley, she had also had enough. After Daley said that everyone walked away from Eric and into the tent. Eric just sat in the rain starting to feel really bad for what he did.

WITH JACKSON

Jackson had been walking for 25 minutes now and slowly turned around and started to leave until he heard someone crying. He went to look behind the tree and saw Taylor sitting there with her face in her hands crying. Jackson sat next to Taylor and put his arms around her. He knew that now was a bad time to talk. Taylor put her head on Jackson's shoulder and after awhile finally spoke up.

" Jackson?" she asked.

"Yeah"

"Thanks"

"No problem" he said, "now do you want to go back to see everyone else? They're really worried."

"They are?"

"Yeah"

"Oh. I thought after realizing how fake I was everyone would hate me even more then they already do."

" Taylor. Hey look at me" Jackson said lifting Taylor's chin up meeting her eyes with his, "Nobody hates you and nobody ever did. You're a great girl beautiful, sweet, funny, caring, and the list just goes on." After Jackson had realized what he just said he turned red immediately.

"Do you mean that?"

"Yeah I do" Jackson said smiling.

"You're a great guy Jackson" said Taylor smiling. Then it started raining even harder.

"Come on! Lets go!" yelled Jackson putting out his hand. Taylor took his hand and for the first time in a long time she felt truly happy.
