Chapter 5
I hope you enjoy it and review!
Disclaimer: If I owned Flight 29 Down, I would have paired myself with Jackson. :D
Melissa was driving Steven home. "Talk about one of the most awkward lunch ever. You could cut the tension with a knife," Melissa said. "Well, I was there, you know. Why did you have to drag me into this too?" Steven replied while flipping through radio stations. "I'm sorry but seriously what kind of friend would leave me alone with her and her noisy questions. She sounded just like my mom," she groaned. "Fine, at least it was entertaining and I noticed that a certain someone was looking at you a lot and wanted to shred me into pieces" he smirked. "Wait? What?" Melissa stammered. She was so shocked she almost hit a dog that was crossing the street. "Woah. I'll remember next time to not talk about your love life while you're driving" Steven chuckled. "That's really not funny. I could have killed that innocent dog. So what were you saying before" she tried to ask slyly but failed. "You know… how Jackson made an idiot of himself and now he has pay for it because you are my awesome GF" Steven joked. Melissa looked at him and he finished, "GF means Gorgeous Friend, which you are." "Thank you and for that we should go to the mall since I barely have any homework!" Steven agreed and they drove laughing all the way there.
Melissa was dragging Steven all over the mall because all of the stores had sales. "Look at that pretty dress!" she exclaimed pointing at a blue halter top dress at one of the display windows. Steven groaned and told her that he was going to the coffee store right next to it to sit down. Melissa was too absorbed flipping through the dresses to hear Jackson walked in. It took him several tries to get her attention. "Melissa. Hello?" "Oh, hi. Wow. You startled me. What are you doing here?" she stammered. "I'm looking for a present for my foster sister, Megan. She loves this store except I have no idea what to get her," he replied. "Isn't that Taylor's department?" she said frowning, looking over his shoulder to find her but no one was behind her. "Well. Apparently she had a fight with owner and swears to never ever come back to this store" he shrugged. "I guess I could help you but Steven is kind of waiting for me," Melissa fibbed. "It will be quick I promise," Jackson said. "So how old is she? What is her favorite color? So I have some clue to get her," Melissa asked. "She's nine and her favorite color is yellow," Jackson answered. They went their separate ways in search of a pretty yellow shirt. Jackson failed to see that a bright neon yellow shirt is not a very good birthday present. Melissa was still kind of cold to him and barely spoke to him. Jackson was trying his best to break the ice but he knew how much he had hurt her and shouldn't expect them to be best friends again so quickly after what he did to her. After a half hour Melissa and Jackson found two perfect shirts for Megan. They were at the cash register when Steven said, "GF! Where are you? I'm seriously going to leave you here." "I'm so sorry. I just lost track of time" she said and quickly said goodbye to Jackson. When they were walking to the car he nudged her and asked, "So what's up with you and him?" "I was just helping him find a birthday gift for his sister, that's all," she said innocently. "He has a girlfriend for that you know. I don't want you to be in a catfight over him. No matter how good looking he is" he teased.
