AUTHOR'S NOTE: This chapter's song is Behind These Hazel Eyes by Kelly Clarkson. It just kinda, fits. I don't know why but in part of this they feel, to me anyway, like they're out of character. It might just be me tho.
Lisa walked inside behind Jackson. His home was nice, well furnished, matching colors. When you walk into the house you're standing in a hallway. To the right is a common area, a few feet forward from that is a staircase going upstairs to the left. They turned into the common area. It was furnished with a dark, wood desk in the corner, a dark red couch facing the wall, window behind it and a flat screen tv on the wall in front of the tv. There was a counter behind all of this, to the right of the hall. On the opposing side of the counter was the kitchen. Strait in front of the hall way was a fancy door the lead to a balcony.
Jackson walked over to the couch and indicted with his hand for Lisa to have a seat. She sat down on the couch, leaving a seat in between the two of them. "So..." Lisa started. "Who's Caraline?"
Jackson sighed, "She's...my girl friend." Lisa looked at the ground, honestly feeling sorrow that he had replaced her so soon. "Leese, I don't know what I was thinking. I was confused at why you left, I still am."
Lisa looked at him, trying to ignore the lure of his handsome features. "I left because of Red Eye. That was one of the worst moments in my life."
He gave her a confused look. "One of the worst?"
Lisa sighed and looked around the room. "Two of the worst moments were that flight and the day I left you."
Jackson swallowed hard and asked "So then why did you leave?"
Lisa shook her head. "I've asked myself that so many times. Every time I come up blank." Jackson leaned back in his seat. He was thinking about what to say when Lisa asked "You said you're drawn to me. What's that mean?"
He took a breath then explained. "On the way home from the café the other day I found myself driving past your place. It was on the way so I went out that way." He paused and stood, walking over to the balcony. He stood there, staring out the open door. "I even chose a place to live where I can watch over you." He told her, pointing to her home.
Lisa stood and walked past him to look out over the city. It looked so different from up here. Every day she goes about her life, not stopping to think about herself. Always those around her. In this moment though she stops and thinks about herself.
Ever since she left Jackson she's lost sleep, felt alone even with her friends, and over all depressed. All the tears cried, behind these hazel eyes. She sighed, without turning from the edge of the balcony she said "I'm sorry."
Jackson looked at her in confusion. "What for?" He asked.
She turned her head to the side, almost looking at him. "I'm sorry for leaving. It was the worst desision I've ever made."
Jackson blinked twice then walked over to her. He gingerly grabbed her face. "Apology excepted." He said with a smile. Lisa smiled faintly as he leaned down to her and kissed her lips lightly. He pulled away and smiled.
Lisa grabbed his hand in her own then asked "What about Caraline?"
Jackson shrugged. "She'll get over me."
Lisa smiled again and kissed him, this time deeper than the first. They stayed out on the balcony, just enjoying being together again.
