Alie's POV
2 missed calls from : Jack
I looked out the car window as Jack called me for the third time. Does he think I forgive him?
"Alie, someone's calling you."
I looked at my dad, who kept his eyes on the road.
"It's Jack, but I'm too tired to answer."
Lied.
"Will you call him back?"
"I will tomorrow. Once I settle in."
Lied again.
I looked back out the window and sighed, slumping back in my seat.
"Alie, I don't want you to be scared to be in a relationship."
"I'm scared of being hurt, dad."
Jack's POV
I called Alie for the 3rd time and was, once again, disappointed.
"Jack, can you come help with the dishes?"
I looked up and saw my mom staring at me, smiling. I nodded and stood up.
"You okay?"
"I'm just thinking about Alie."
"Who's Alie?"
"Dad didn't tell you?"
She shook her head and I sighed.
"She's my girl - ex-girlfriend. We broke up because of a mistake I made."
"What mistake?"
"It's nothing. I just hurt her. Really bad."
"I'm sure you can fix it."
I mumbled a 'maybe' and walked upstairs.
"Laura, can I talk to you?"
She looked up at me and nodded.
"Alie, you remember her, right?"
She nodded.
"We broke up. I did some things that I shouldn't have and I want to get her back. How?"
She smiled and patted the seat next to her.
"I'll tell you what to do."
Alie's POV
I set my bag down and walked upstairs to shower. My phone buzzed just before I got in and I looked at it.
Cameron: Alie, can you meet me outside?"
Alie: Right now?"
Cameron: Is it a bad time? 😖
Alie: No just getting settled in. I'll be outside in 5
I locked my phone and ran downstairs, walking outside.
"Hey."
I looked over at him and smiled, wrapping my arms around him, embracing him in a hug.
"I miss you."
I looked up at him, pulling away from the hug.
"You miss me? Since when, lover boy?"
I joked, laughing. His chocolate eyes pierced into mine and he placed his hand on my cheek, his breath fanning against my face.
"Cam, I'm not r-"
