It has been about one week since the incident at the beach. I never talked about it, nor have I ever brought it up. The thing is, I truly did care for Jax. Right now my mind is so confused, all I can think about is why did I ever let him in my life? How could I have been so stupid!

We had went back to the house, after I had to beg my brother to take me back. Every since we stepped foot back into the house, I have been locked up in my room. I refuse to talk to anyone right now, I even made Jax sleep on the couch. Haha!! I am so evil sometimes I scare myself....I have decided that if he ever tries to talk to me I would just through a book at him, and then shove him out of my room.

I even took avoiding him to an extreme. I only eat in my room, if I ever need to leave Jax has to be far away as possible. When ever I had to do anything I would make sure that he never gets to close to me. My brother had asked me so many times if I was alright, I just brushed it off each time.

I love my brother more than anything in the world, but somethings he just can know. When it was finally time for me to do go sleep, there was a knock at my door. I knew it could only be one of two people, my brother or Jax. I know for a fact that my brother is out with his friends tonight, so it must be Jax.

"What do you want!" I tried to sound as scary as possible, but I failed since I was also half asleep. Stupid me for wanting to go to sleep!!

"Can we talk?" I sighed, at least he was trying. "Sorry, but you will die if you come into my room!" I heard a sound on the other side of my door.

"Fine then, if you won't let me in then I will just sit here and talk. It has been a week since the beach, and all I want to tell you was what you saw." "I already know what I saw, you kissed a girl then tell her that you loved her!" "What would you care if I said that to someone!"

Why do I care? I care because I love you! Of course I can't tell him that, I am pretty sure even though he says he still likes me he is just playing with me. "I care, because I do care about you. You are my friend after all." I heard a small sigh come from the other side of the door. "Fine, I want you to know something though, what you saw was not what you think you saw. Since your not in the mood to listen to me, then I will leave you alone till you are. I do want you to know this for now, I could never care more about someone than I do for you."

I sat there speechless, I can't believe he just said that. At least now I know he does really care about me. I am really curious to what he has to say, but then again I don't really want to know.

I knew after that he had left, since there was nothing but silence. I looked down at my phone, and saw my home screen of my parents and I when I was eight years old. Sometimes I wished I was that young again.

Were you don't have to worry about boys, being depressed, were you actually enjoy school, and everyone likes you. Now all I do know is that high school bites, and not in the good way. One day your laughing with your friends, and family. Then the next day your wanting to disappear everyone in sight, and wishing that every guy in earth would just disappear. Man would that not be nice?

I wonder what it would be like if I never saw what I did, and if I actually listened to what he had to say. I probably would not even lisent any way, why should I? He hurt me more times then I could count, I always forgave him even though he done me wrong. After everything that he had to me, this for some reason hurts me more than anything. I do care about him, but maybe I care more than I should?

I should have just never let him in my life, and never trusted him again. I should have just walked away, and never spoke to him again. I decided to pick up my phone, and call my mom. I really wanted them to be home, manly because when they do get back they will make Jax leave, and they will hopefully calm me enough not to kill him!!

When I heard the phone ringing I was so nervous to even answer it. What was I even going to say? Hey mom and dad, my senior year sucks so far, my ex best friend is back, he kissed me, almost rapped me, and now is telling another girl he loves her. Oh! Also I think I my be falling in love with him. Yeah, that sounds great.

Mom: hello?

Eve: hey mom.

Mom: honey! It's so great to hear from you, how are you doing?

Dying...

Eve: I am doing great! I was just wondering when are you coming home?

Mom: well, I think we are coming back in two days, the trip was canceled since the main boss got sick. Your father is getting tired of this place by the minute, and I am sure you are getting tired of your brother.

Eve: actually we are getting along pretty well, he has been really good lately. I just wish that you guys were here with me. There has been a lot that has happen here.

Mom: oh no, what had happened? You can tell me anything.

Eve: well...Jax he has came back. He has also managed to kiss me again, and regain my trust. Then he broke my trust in him by turning around and telling another that he loved her. I am also starting to fall for him, even though I know it is wrong. He is nothing but a self centered, jerk that only cares about himself. He should just go and burn in hell for all I care!! I mean what kind of guy does that?!? First he tells me he likes me, then goes behind my back and tells some other that he loves her....mom? Are you there?

Mom:....well it does seem like you have had a busy couple of weeks. Me and your father both have a surprise for you when we get back, and hopefully it makes you feel better. Please stay safe, and don't kill him. I will see you in a couple of days sweetheart. Love you!!

Eve: love you too mom, bye.

That was the end of that call. She seems so calm, but I bet on the inside she was thinking, my daughter has finally lost it. Well who can blame me? I have been stuck in this house with my older brother, and a guy which I can't stand. I also don't have much friends to go to, so I basically have nothing to do but to hang out with them.

It was so good to hear my moms voice for once, and I am very curious to what she the surprise is for me. Every time my parents have anything for me, they usually just go ahead and tell me. They basically know that if they don't, then I will just beg them till they do. I really want to know what it is, I mean it could be anything!

At least my parents will be back in two days, until then I will be stuck with my worst nightmare, and my weird brother. I can't believe that I would actually want to go to school for the next two days then be stuck here. We go back to school in Monday, and today is Friday. At least I have all weekend to prepare myself for that hellhole. I also get to get ready for my parents arrival, and for the surprise that they have for me.

Knowing them the surprise must be really big, for them not to tell me anything. I decided that after that little mental talk to myself, I was exhausted. I really was hungry, so I decided to go down the stairs to get something to eat. Then I remembered all about Jax. I looked around the whole hallway to make sure that he was no where to be seen. Then when the coast was clear I made a run for it.

Haha!! No one can catch me!!! Then I ran straight into the wall...stupid wall. I slowly sat up, and to my surprise I was greeted with the presents of the devil himself. "What are you doing laying here?" Well what does it look like I am doing? "You ran into something didn't you?" Oh no kidding Sherlock! "Well what do you think?" He looks at me for a moment. "I think you were so clumsy that you ran into the wall."

"Excuse me?! I am not a clumsy person, I am just not really awake." I tried to hide my face as much as possible, mainly because I know that was probably not the best thing I could have come up with. Can you people blame me? I am tired after all. "Well, what ever makes you happy. I have to go to sleep, and don't fall off your bed in the middle of the night, clumsy."

I literally want to kill him. I know that I can't or people would wonder were he went. Then again the people that know me, they would just say oh even did it. I may like the guy, but sometimes I want to kill him. I grabbed what I needed then head back upstairs.

When I finally laid down in my own bed, and closed my eyes to sleep. The only thoughts that crossed my head was my mom, and the one and only Jax. One day I will get my revenge on him for what I saw at the beach.

Everything that I have been through with him, the pain and anger. I can't believe it but he actually came up with a new way to make me feel. I feel more confused than anything. I want to strangle him, hug him, and want to be near him. I can't explain it fully, all I can say is that I don't know what to feel. I have always kept my feelings hidden, and now since I am expressing them more to the world and to others around me, I am starting to feel new things too. Having all these new feelings is kinda scary to me.

I never once thought that I would be falling in love, but at the same time be mad at the guy that used to be my best friend. When will my life ever go back to normal again?

The next day I woke up in a pretty good mood, I was not only happy that in one more day my parents will be back and with my surprise, but also since my brother had come back today. That means I won't be left alone with Jax all weekend!! Yay, me!

I decided that today I will dress up a bit since i was in such a good mood. I wore just some ripped jeans, plain white shirt, with a jean jacket over it. It was simple yet, stylish. I was so happy that I could not stop smiling, of course my brother gave me a weird look. He was probably wondering if I have finally lost it.

I went down stairs and was about to go outside, to hopefully get out of this house. On my way out the door, I ran right into my parents. "Mom, dad your back early!" I hugged both of them. "Well, I was just so excited about our surprise for you that I could not just wait." I looked at them, and they both moved out of the way revealing a very nicely dressed boy. He looked around my age, with brown eyes and blonde hair. I looked at my parents wondering if this was it. "Eve, we want you to meet Shane, your arranged boyfriend."

Wait. What?!?
