Destiny (Open!)

First topic message reminder :

i got up after her and wrapped an arm around her waist as we walked

jared smiled as he saw the car and kissed his cheek "i'll always remember you as far as as i am and i promise that i'll be home tomorrow when you guys wake up just don't tell eliza lets surprise her okay?" the car reminded me of the many times we played together and he really was a brother to me i couldn't let go of that

i laughed "i promise" i tangled my pink with his

i looked back at hellen we always did that together. i nodded "sure" i went and told hellen i kissed her and left with austin

I was pushing Eliza on the swings just keeping her occupied until the guys come back. I looked up and seen that Jared had joined them. I slowed the swing down and whispered in her ear. "Look who tagged along." I said pointing towards the guys when they were close enough to see.

we were close enough to see that eliza frowned when she saw me i sighed and went to them i smiled at ash and kissed her cheek then carried eliza " will you ever forgive me?" i asked her ~jared

I smiled and watched him talk to Eliza. I thought seeing him would cause a lot more heartache than it did when he first left. But it felt like a weight was lifted from my shoulders. It was then that I could truly except the change in everything.

eliza just looked up at me "i forgive you...but don't except me to love you as i did before. ash is my sister and james is my big brother" i frowned and looked at ash but then just nodded hiding the hurt "okay lizzi whatever you say"~jared

i stood next to ash looking at them talking i wrapped an arm around her waist and felt a bit sad for jared but i couldn't help him with that~james

I watched Jared closely. I could see the hurt deep in his eyes, I wasn't sure what to do about that. I looked at James and smiled. "Are yall ready to go?" I asked

I stayed home, happy that Jared had gone out.

i nodded and texted hellen i'm sorry i left you alone i just couldn't say no to him. love you~jared

i took eliza's hand as we walked around the bloc

Austin seemed extremely happy to be with Jared again. We walked around the block and watched the kids go to each door and get candy. They seemed happy, and Eliza seem to have warmed up to Jared being around again.

I went to my room and was deciding on what outfit to start on when i got a txt message from Jared. Its fine, you had to go. On the way over can you ask Ash if she would like to talk to me? I bit my lip, i knew how Ash must have feelt when Jared started hanging out with me more, i just hope i can apologyze.

i looked at the text and replied i haven't really talked to her but i will. ~jared

i took ash's hand and smiled at her " you're quiet"

I smiled at James and gave his hand a slight squeeze. "Just enjoying the night, observing everything. You're quiet yourself." I said teasingly.

i smiled " kind of...i'm actually worried about you i don't want you to feel pain i know you still have feelings for him and it must be hard on you"~james

I slowed my walk and let Jared and the kids go in front of us. I turned to James and looked into his eyes. He held so much love and concern there I almost forgot what I was going to say. I looked away and took a deep breath. "That may have been true a few weeks ago, but to be honest, I'm fine. Seeing him doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would, I'm fine with him being around. I'm just worried about Eliza, he was her hero, although their mom is there she always clung to Jared for everything."

i pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear "she'll be fine she just need to feel safe again and that will happen when she's sure he's here for good"

I placed my hand over his and smiled. "I know, I'm just worried about her. I just hope she can trust okay him again."

thats fine, and have fun i txt back

"she will i'm sure of that" i was still a bit concerned, i know you might think i'm a fool for being with her when i know her heart is with someone else but i love her and couldn't ask more than be with her

I smiled at him then kissed his lips. Though it'll be hard to fully get over Jared, James deserves a chance.

i smiled and pulled away " you know i think that i won't go home tonight if jared is going then...i might get out the picture maybe eliza would see i'm not here and give him a chance"
