*Creigton's pov*

Jessamine was kissing me and it was the best feeling I have ever had. I couldn't believe what was happening right now.

Jessamine wrapped her arms around me and I slightly winced in pain. But all of this pain was worth it because I loved the fact that I was kissing the girl who was everything to me.

Alex coughed, making me realize where we were. I slowly pulled away, knowing if I did it that fast I would hurt myself.

"Do you know how worried I was?" I asked Jessamine. She wasn't looking at me then.

"I'm sorry. I have no one anymore at school and my mom is horrible. She hates me so much and I just want to be done with everything." I could hear her voice cracking and it broke my heart.

"Hey do not be like that. You have us. And I know what it's like to have an abusive parent. I really do, I mean look at me. Every move I make is so painful because of my father. I know what it is like to have no one. But there is always that one person who is going to love you, whether you realize it or not. Do not forget that."

Abby walked over and sat on the other side of Jessamine and Alex walked into the room further and shut the door.

"It may not be much, but I will always be here for you too. Not everything is based on looks, and it is a shame that your mother makes you feel that way. But you are beautiful the way you are, and don't let your mother make you feel like you are not. Everyone is beautiful, whether they realize it or not. And who cares what other people think? At the end of the night it's your thoughts that you are left with. No one else's." Abby tried to comfort Jessamine.

I put my arm around Jessamine's shoulders and she cuddled into my chest lightly.

"Thank you Abby. That makes me feel somewhat better. You're right. I need to stop thinking that I am not good enough. It isn't fair to myself or any of you. I realy need to apologize for how I acted to you guys. You never deserve how I treated you or how anyone treated you."

"Hey, it's okay. Don't feel bad." I told her. I rubbed her shoulder.

"But I do. You guys are the ones that are here for me right now, and I did nothing but treat you terribly. Not to mention you love me and after everything I said to you and about you. Creightoin I never meant it," she cried and pulled away from me.

"Jessamine-" I started but she cut me off.

"I don't deserve you. I was the worst person to you. I could have stopped Joey from beating you up. I could have stopped everyone from hurting you, but I didn't. I just went along with it and I wish I could take it all back." She shook as she spoke.

"I can't say that it didn't hurt, because it did. But I am not mad at you. I will not hold grudges over you, nor anyone. I need to move on from the past and the best way to do that is to not look back. Jessamine you need to do the same thing. Don't look back at what you did, unless you want to learn from it. Learn from your mistakes, that's why we make them. We make mistakes to become a better person and to not do the things that get us hurt."

"I can't just move on. I can't," she stated and she started to tremble.

"Yes you can. Don't be so stubborn about it. I know it is hard to just forget your past. But you can't let your past control you. It may define you, but you need to stop thinking about just the bad things. You had good memories. Everyone does. Use those to be happy and learn from the past mistakes."

"Creighton I can't. All I can think of is the fact that I hurt everyone and that I am not good enough for anyone."

"Stop that right now. You are too good for me. You're beautiful and sweet. I know why you acted the way you did and it is not your fault. Your mother made you feel the way you are right now. But Jessamine you are good enough for everyone you come in contact with. You are smart, pretty, ambitious, and everything a guy could want. If a guy were to think that you aren't good enough then he is a fool. And yes you will hurt people and they will hurt you. But that is a part of life. Pain comes and goes, but there are always going to be times where you are happy. Do not think so negatively, because it does absolutely no good at all."

"Creighton is right," Alex finally spoke up. He had remained silent the entire time. I was wondering when he was actualy going to say something.

"Thinking bad about yourself only hurts you. It doesn't hurt anyone else. It certainly won't help you at all," Alex agreed with me.

"I can't change how I think though," she said quietly.

"It does take time. But that's why you have us. Your friends are the ones that will help you through everything. You haven't had the people who will encourage you through thick and thin." I told her and she looked at me. Her brown eyes were bright with tears threatening to fall.

"Jessamine people will always love you, whether you realize it or not. And I love you, I have loved you for a long time. There is no replacement for you," I told her with absolute certaintiy.

All of a sudden the door to the apartment burst open and Jessamine's mother marched in.

"Jessamine! Oh my baby!" She yelled in the fakest voice I have ever heard. She ran over to her and wrenched her away from me.

"Get away from him," she yelled and held her daughter close to her. People were waiting outside of the door, watching intently.

Anger grew in my chest and I just wanted to smack this woman.

"We followed them down. We figured Creighton woud find you since he seems to obsess over you. You know you need to stop being so nice and make it clear that you don't want anything to do with him," her mother demanded.

I watched Jessamine. She would never stand up to her mother for me, and I couldn't blame her. I didn't want her to get hurt for being with me. I would rather die then see her get hurt.

"Mom I love him," she said so softly. My eyes snapped to her brown ones and I looked at her bewildered.

"You better be lying to me," she practically growled.

"I'm not lying. I love him, and I always have." Jessamine moved away from her mother and stood up straight.

"Well you are coming home with me. I forbid you to be with him. He is not good for you, and you will not see him anymore. If I have to get a restraining order I will."

"Mom!" Jessamine cried and the tears started to flow from her eyes. Anger bubbled through me and I snapped.

"You can't control your daughter like this! Love is blind! I may not be rich and I may not be the best looking. But I would treat her like a princess. She would be my only girl, and I would never let her feel unloved. If you want your daughter to be happy you need to stop controlling her."

Her mother's eyes flared at me and she grabbed Jessamine. She didn't do it harshly since she had people watching her.

"I am not controlling her. I just know she will never be with you. You are forbidden to see MY daughter. If I ever find out that you were near her, then that will be the last thing you do," she threatened me and then left taking Jessamine with her.

"No!" Jessamine yelled and looked at me. I knew what she was going home to and I couldn't breathe. I didn't want her to be hurt.

If I wasn't hurt I would have ran after her. I would have literally fought, but there was no point when I couldn't even stand up on my own.

I put my head in my hands. I needed to think of something and fast.

Just when I'm about to get the girl of my dreams this happens.

"Dude I am so sorry," Alex said and I looked up at him.

"What in the name of god do I do? I can't let her mother take her out of my life," I pleaded with them to tell me something I can do to get Jessamine.

"I don't think there is anything you can do. Maybe things will change when Jessamine graduates," Abby tried to reassure me but there was nothing I could do except stare at her blankly. That's the best she got?

"I think Abby is right. You have to let Jessamine move out of the house first. Then her mother can't control what she does."

"But she's going to hurt her! I can't let Jessamine get hurt!" I cried and struggled to get off of the bed.

Alex jumped over to help me.

"You need to think about this. If you go and get her now, she is probably going to be hurt more." Alex said as he gave me support to get off of the bed.

"She forgot all of her stuff." I stared around the room and ignored his comment.

"We will get it and give it to her." Abby looked into my eyes.

"I just want her to be okay," I sobbed because I knew she would not be okay.
