“Jared what’s wrong? Why are you being like this?” I asked. He sighed but finally answered.
“Lucas wants revenge.” I looked up at him in disbelief.
“Why?”
“He hates me.”
“Why?” I asked again.
“Cause of you.” I looked at him with wide eyes.
“What?”
“He’s been in love with you for four years Cate.” He said still holding his head. I stared at him, not believing the words that came out of his mouth. He just continued to sit there, not looking at me at all. Finally something registered.
I walked over and knelt on the bed behind him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my chin on his shoulder.
“I’m not going to leave you Jared.” I whispered. He kept his head in his hands and said nothing. I gently turned his face until he was looking at me. I stared into his eyes for a second, getting lost in the blue.
“I’m not.” I whispered again. He ran his fingers through my hair looking back at the ground. I lifted his face until our lips met.
“I promise” I whispered against his lips.
