Chapter 5

Jason's P.O.V

Today I was starting my first day at college. I was told by my big brother that this school is awesome, he also told me that on the very first day of college that the principal/school board let the students settle and they can explore the school and also spend time with people. He also said that they do that mainly because some students just came from vacation with their families and that there are also a lot of students who live very far so that way they can rest for the day and the following day school starts.

Also, I was told that the night of the first day we get really good food in the large dining room, to welcome those who were here before back to the college and to also welcome the new students. As I was exploring the school and still in thought I hadn't realized that I had bumped into someone until the next thing I know is that I'm apologizing to a girl for bumping into her.

When I finally stopped my rambling and looked up my face froze. I can't believe that the girl who tried to stay away from me for 4 years is right in front of me. Why 4 years you ask? Well basically after that incident with Kathleen...

*Flashback*

I was supposed to meet Kathleen today because it was our 1st anniversary and I was planning on giving her something special like giving her a beautiful bouquet, a lovely yellow and orange necklace with her name on it and also a matching bracelet. So, as I was on my way to meet her in our favorite spot by the lake, I met a girl who I haven't seen around before and I think she said her name is Belinda, anyway as I walked it's like I was sensing that someone was following me. I shook off the feeling since there couldn't be someone following me... right?

Well, as I continued walking I could still sense someone following me. As I turned around I came face to face with the girl I saw earlier, it seems as though she likes me? But now, I only just met her, as I was thinking of the possibilities of what could be happening, I was snapped out of my thoughts as this same girl Belinda I think was kissing me. I mean, not on the cheek or forehead but the lips.

I was shocked, really, I have a girlfriend that I really need to see and spend time with and I have other things to do. This is really not good for me, what if Kathleen sees? What will she say? what will become of us? So many questions with answers I can't give.

I soon came out of my thoughts when I heard someone crying, I soon broke off the kiss and saw my Kathleen running away crying. Exactly what I didn't want, when I turned around I saw Belinda smirking because she knows that Kathleen is hurt and that things won't go so well for us either. So as I was running after my love, I soon lost her because she outran me. Ever since that day, I've been trying to talk to Kathleen about what happened but she has been avoiding me.

I tried texting, calling, visiting, talking to her in school, tried getting her sisters to tell me about her and to get her to talk to me, even sending her gifts but nothing worked. Why? Because she thinks that her boyfriend is a cheater, liar and that he is just a bad influence, but really and truly I'm not. So as time went by I soon gave up seeing that it was useless. Then my father told me that we would be moving to a new place because of business so I get to go with him and since I won't be living in the same neighborhood with Kathleen anymore I won't get to see her.

*End of flashback*

So basically that's what happened between us for the past 4 years. So as I came out of my shock a smirk was formed on my lips and I said " Well, well, well, why isn't it, my long lost girlfriend Kathleen".

She apparently was annoyed with me because her next words were harsh and then she said "What do you want Jason?" through gritted teeth.

I really want to know what's wrong with her, so then I said "Woah, chill babe, I just want to know how my girlfriend is doing since I haven't seen her for the past 4 years".

It seems that she is really mad at me because then she hissed at me these words "First of all, don't call me babe and second I'm not your girlfriend!

Okay, things are really getting strange I really need to find out what in the world is going on, so I said "Woah, Kathleen chill, what's wrong with you? You've changed, this is not the Kathleen I remembered. So what happened?"

It seemed that she calmed down a bit and after that, she said "You happened ever since you came into my life, I have never been the same. I always end up thinking about you nonstop and just everything about you makes me blush and go crazy. It's like when you're not here with me, I'm broken inside and it's like a piece of me is missing".

By this point I was curious, but most importantly concerned, if I really did change her life and make her blush and go crazy every time she thinks of me, then why did she ignore me for all those years? So, then I asked, "So why every time I tried talking to you in those 4 years, you would always push me away, shout after me, and just ignore my texts and calls completely?"

After I asked that question she said this trying her hardest not to cry but failing miserably "It's because you broke my heart 4 years ago".

I really wanted to know what I did to hurt Kathleen enough to make her suffer like this so, I said to her while looking at her straight in the eyes "Kathleen baby, how did I break your heart 4 years ago? Tell me so I can tell you what exactly happened".

Then she told me how she was preparing for our date by the lake and on her way there she saw me kissing another girl. She said how she was heartbroken and that she ran all the way home crying because she thought that I didn't love her anymore from that incident and after that, she decided to stay away from me. She said all of that while tears ran down her face. I was sad by what I heard and I understood why she kept ignoring me, so after that, I told her that I love her and only her and what she saw was a mistake and I told her about the whole incident.

After that, I told her I am sorry for what happened then, will you forgive me and maybe give me another chance? She said that she forgives me and that she will give me another chance.

After that, I was relieved so I said: "Thank you, baby, I really missed you". She seemed happier and then she said "I missed you too babe". After that, we kissed it felt so wonderful, so passionate and full of love. I really missed the taste of her sweet, soft lips. After we pulled away from our sweet kiss, we looked at each other in the eyes and we both said in unison "I love you".

Then, I decided that since we still have the rest of the day we could spend it with each other and catch up on the things that we missed out on. So I led her to one of the beautiful meadows to have a picnic and where we could also see the beautiful view. I really missed Kathleen, now that we are back together my life feels so complete!
