Chapter Two!
I'm so glad that people like this story. I kinda changed the title. I'm not sure if I like it or not so it might change again, sorry. Thank you my awesome beta tester, Melreincarn. My story wouldn't be as great as it now without her :D and thanks for the awesome reviews :).
Jackson flipped through Mel's journal to find that it was full of pictures of this guy. I think his name is Steven… Steven Mullenix. He's in my chemistry class. I never knew Mel had a thing for him. She never mentioned him before on the island. But we never really talked about our past relationships… well I didn't. Most of my relationships ended pretty ugly so why talk about them. He continued looking; picture after picture of Steven, and Melissa was in some of them too and all of those pictures they were smiling and happy. Did I ever make her this happy? He shakes his head. I am not suppose to think about Melissa and if I ever made her happy. I am suppose to make Taylor happy because she's my girlfriend. He closed the book soon afterward. Steven is an okay guy for Melissa. He's popular so maybe we can eat lunch together and stay friends. I hope he makes her happy. When he was putting the journal is his backpack he failed to see Melissa's smiling face peering through the door.
Jackson couldn't sleep at all that night. His head was full of thoughts. He was wondering why Melissa would be attracted to Steven. Was it because she truly cares for me? Was she trying to make me jealous? No Mel would never use a guy like that. She can't like me that much to do that or does… WAIT!?! Why am I thinking about her? Why can't I stop thinking about her? Then a cheesy romantic line pops into his head, "Maybe I am suppose to be thinking about her." (I don't know the exact line but its something like that). He shakes his head and thought No that's just dumb.
The next morning he drove into school and saw a very annoyed and angry Taylor waiting in front of his parking spot, tapping her foot. "Why didn't you call me yesterday? You promised," she whined/pouted. He rolled his eyes and said, "Taylor, I'm sorry. I just had a lot of homework, that's all and when I finished it was like 2 a.m. I didn't want to wake you." Then he kissed his forehead in hopes to pacify her and it worked. She grabbed his hand and they walked into school.
"Omg. Finally. Melissa and Steven. They are going out! It took them forever. sheesh," Taylor said when they walked by Steven and Melissa. "Taylor, what are you talking about?" he asked. "Well… it all started freshman year when Steven accidentally choked on a piece of chicken. Everyone was freaking out and didn't know what to do and Melissa steps up and does this thing" Taylor said. "The Heimlich maneuver," Jackson replies. "Yeah, whatever so they been close ever since. But they had this falling apart thing before the trip. I think he didn't want her to go since he wasn't going or something. I don't know but I am so glad for her. She was so sad ever since we came back." "Geez Taylor I just asked a simple question and you gave all this other stuff I really didn't need to know," She shrugged. "Well you asked and before I forget. We are sitting with Melissa and Steven during lunch I want to know the 411. Bye." Jackson let out a huge groan when he was out of Taylor's hearing distant. He did not want to sit for an hour and listen to Melissa's love life and plus it would be awkward. But I could give her journal back then but I am not done with it yet. So I will give it back later, he thought.
I wonder why he wants to look at the journal some more:D
R&R. I'm currrently writing the third chapter right now. But since exams are coming up and I'm going to another county and I'm not sure if I will have access to the internet so I might be on a temporary hiatus. But I'll be back in August.
Voting time!! In the near future Jackson will have to break up with Taylor or this would be a Jackson and Taylor story which it is NOT. So what would you like to happen?:
1) Mel sees them break-up but just before that Steven has asked her to go out with him only, so Mel feels bad talking to Jackson about it.
2) Mel doesn't know Taylor and Jackson have broken up and Jackson doesn't get to tell her.
3) Jackson and Taylor break-up and Mel sees it, but Jackson has yet to tell her, so she has to pretend she doesn't know, leading to an argument with Steven.
4) Melissa dates Steven for awhile. Jackson gets jealous and finally realizes that he loves Melissa and not Taylor. Steven got the vibe that Melissa still had feelings for Jackson and let her free. (or something like that. I might spice it up)
