One month later, I welcome my mother at home again. Jack, my boyfriend stands beside me and we welcome her with open arms. "I missed you," I said, tears draining my face.

She smiles simply, "Sorry, I'm here now."

"And who's this?" She smirks towards Jack. He brushes his hair away from his face. "I'm Jack, your daughter's erm..." He looks towards me, and he blanks.

"Uh - my boyfriend and um - " I then look back at Jack who heaves a sigh and looks at my mom.

"And her new parole officer. I'm sorry we didn't tell you either of the news. We were caught up, traveling a little, but now we're here so..." We look back towards my dear mother in which her face looks relaxed and calm. 

"I'm happy for you Aurella, I just thought you had something with that Adrian boy?" She raises a brow.

Great, I'll never escape this.

"Well tough, mom I'm with Jack now and I'm completely happy, Adrian, however, isn't who he said he was. Mom he was..." I broke my happy face and revealed my mask of lies and sadness.

All to live.

"What, who is he Aurella?" My mother encourages. Jack holds me, caressing my back in support.

"Jayden Parker my bully," I say.

Her face remains stoic and she continues her way to the kitchen. "I'll start making dinner then."

I shake my head as in no, moving her away from the kitchen appliances. "Mom, good riddance you just came from the hospital from a minor car accident. Have some self -- respect and lie down. Jack and I will  handle it."

She shrieked in happiness. "My baby is so grown up. Perhaps I'm turning into a grandma."

I smile at her silliness and start cooking, "Jack help my mom in bed will you?"

He nods and kisses my cheek. "I'll be back for your spiciness."

"K," I chuckle.

I start cutting vegetables and some meat. I'm a vegan. So I make some for the others and settle with some quinoa.

Then Jack comes running. "Aurella!"

I look at him confused. "What?"

"It's snowing come see quick!" He pulls my hand along and we look out the window which reveals the white substance of lovely snow.

It hasn't snowed in a while here in Canda. It's practically like a miracle.

"It's beautiful," I say, my hands leaving an imprint on the window, due to fogginess.

"Like you," Jack finishes, placing a tightly sealed kiss on my cheek. I manage to blush under his contract. "Thanks," I mumble. 

He smirks. "Yeah well let's eat first then play out, sound like a deal?"

I nod in excitement, "can't wait."

We finish dinner and I didn't know he could cook you know, like make the worlds best ratatouille.

We called my mom and ate dinner in silence, savoring the great taste of food. "So, Jack how do you find it, being a cop I mean."

"Very well, I take up after my father he's my boss really. And erm - I'm sorry about your wedding Aurelia told me." He says, looking at me for support.

I shrug. "It's no big deal, Fred is happy with the twins and mom's happy with me, right?" 

My mom nods along, although I could see the sadness filling her eyes.

We end dinner and I wear my gloves, scarf, and coat to play in the snow. Jack follows after and we run right into the snow. 

He throws snowballs at me, "Hey!"

He then knocks me over with a kiss on my cheek. "I got you."

I smile at him and distract him as my left hand (which is my weakest) gathers a ball of hard snow and after we finish getting up, I shove it right up his nose.

I then run fast, although I could hear his presence after me. The footsteps in the snow give it away.

I turn to face something, no someone.

Anabelle my neighbor is expecting someone in a black range rover. Out came him, (who I won't even speak of anymore) and his friends, Alfie, Noah, Luke, and Tyler.

Some notice me, the others (including me) don't bother.

Jack calls after me but I watch how this facade plays out. It looks like a gathering, more like a funeral. They're wearing black and they all look sad for someone.

Anabella hugs he who must not be named and cries on his shoulder. They all enter the house afterward and then a body is placed in a casket by the funeral services.

I take a deep breath and turn away from the despicable sight. 

Jack was there too watching. "What happened?"

I shake my head and head back, keeping my head low. "Don't worry let's go."

***

I get a text from Abby a girl in my class, how did she get my number again? Anyways, she texts:

Abbygirl<3: What happened to Adrian and Avery? Are they dating now?

Me: I don't know, how do you know this?

I turn to face my picture frame of Him and I.

When we took a selfie in Target and also in his memorable, favourite place. I decided to frame the picture and decorate it, placing it on my bedside table.

I just can't ring myself to throw it away, after all, it's my only memory of him. 

I return to the text from Abby. 

Abbygirl<3: Everyone is talking about it, apparently his grandma died today and he comforted his sister. Then Avery showed up and they made out in a bar afterwards, I'll send you the pic now.

The picture is blurry but shows him all up her face.

(A:n: Ignore the clothes but it'll look dim  and dark like this k)

I couldn't care less.

Me: Thanks umm I'll see you at school tomorrow bye

Abbygirl<3: Ok Bye

I look my phone and snuggle in my bed. Jack isn't here since mom is home. Every night (since he asked me to be his GF) he stayed beside me in bed. We only made out, kissing, touching. Nothing too sexual which will result in kids.

I dream of the first moment we met, by looking at the picture of him. Not the rude fight encounter or the call but when I painted his car pink. 

"What the fuck do you think you're doing to my baby!" They bark, as if they were really a dog, biting something out of me. something untouchable.

I turn around to meet, A- Adrian W- Walker. The rude person who yelled at me earlier. He doesn't budge, his grip on my arm is still intensifying and if looks could kill, this could surely bury me, 6 feet under, nope screw that 100 feet, I'd be melting in the earth's bloody core! I frown at him if he thinks I'm going to let him grip my arm like that he sure is wrong!

"Oh, your car, oops me no speak English," I say, bluntly. He glares more at me. But then he smirks. "Oh, so your that nerdy girl, who wrote a love letter to that teacher, you spoke English then, so why not now? Unless you're too fascinated by my looks to speak up." He winks, but he still keeps a frown in place.

"Whatever, leave me alone perverted freak! You degraded monster, get lost!" I yell, he covers my mouth. His cold laced eyes with cobalt blue, melting in my eyes. "Let go!" I yell twice, thrice, he doesn't budge, but he then smirks.

"How about you apologize and pay up for what you've done?" He offers in a way, which makes me feel like he's indirectly implying something, oh my gwash.. is he actually thinking that... no, don't even think about Audie!

I then decide it's getting chilly so I nut him where the sun doesn't shine. I then run fast, that encounter was intimidating. 

He was so dreamy back then and oh - why do I not believe he's Jayden?

Jayden was a ferocious beast who showed no remorse or pity.

However, Adrian was always gentle and caring a little bad boyish but I loved that.

Now, I'm so confused in a cold empty room, with hardly any oxygen-sucking the life out of me.

"Hey, Lizbeth?" My mom knocks.

I open the door. "Yeah, mom what's up?"

"I have to tell you something about the car accident." She leads me to my couch and we sit.

"It wasn't an accident. You know already right? The medical and police reports were immensely wrong. It's Rick." She places a hand on her head and takes deep breaths.

"Oh, mom..." I hug her. "He hired someone to hurt you?" My voice a little higher pitched than usual.

"Yea... I'm so sorry. I was driving you see and then I got a call from that bastard saying he will kill me any moment or something like that... after that, a car hit me from my side and I blanked out. It was him, Liz, he's back." She says, sobbing.

I shake my head. "Mom...please...no."

"Anyways," She wipes the tears away and sniffles. "Go to bed, I'll sort this all out."

"Mom, why can't we have a normal life for once?" I ask her.

She sniffles more. "We will soon, I promise."

She turns off my bedlight and I go sleep.

Jayden's POV:

My mind has only been thinking of one thing; Lizbeth.

Avery and her friends at school are just a distraction. I made a horrible mistake and I'm ready to pay for those consequences.

But still... whenever I see her I get uncomfortable.

It's like she works my body all the time, I'm cast under her spell all the time. 

Avery clings to me and comes in my ear. "Hey sexy," She meows.

I kiss her a little then order another drink.

Annabelle has been crying all day.

I couldn't care, Grandma was bound to die eventually. I only supported her and kept up my reputation by not showing any tears.

Then when I came out the car I saw her, her face was pathetic and miserable.

Maybe I should just move on?

Yeah, I like that.

Byebye Lizbeth, you're no longer my friend.

I heard she found a new lover, boyfriend whatever. Surprising really, she trusted him the moment she met him. I was waiting outside her house (at my sisters house amy I add, not a stalker k) I was smoking and running cars with my brothers. Just when I happened to see her bedroom light on and her making out with that cop.

He's bad news.

Something about him which doesn't seem right.

Avery tousles my hair and moans at my touch. "Right there."

I have an idea to get the thoughts of her out of my head, if she's moving on so can I. I'm going to have a fun time tonight.

I lead Avery by the hand and enter a room upstairs in the bar.

I lock the door and smirk. "Hey, beautiful."

Avery jumps on me and we make out passionately, with fireworks and explosives. I make love to her and enjoy every moment of it. With her finally out of my head. 

We can both move on.
