The ride from the community restaurant until at Jed’s house is so quiet. I mean, Jed keeps on talking but I just let myself be quiet. I don’t know but when I saw him with Rose at the Restaurant, my whole mood is gone away.

We step inside his house, it is so big. “We have a problem” he said. I look at him confusingly and he gesture his hands to a door, I walk towards the door and open it; it’s his bedroom. “You don’t have another spare room again?” I ask. “I thought you wouldn’t talk again, so where do you want to sleep? Bedroom or floor or sofa?” instead of talking back I choose to sigh. I want to go back to my parents! 

My heart is crying with pain.

“Is there anything wrong Cheska?” he asks, I shook my head and smile. “Well, to solve this problem let’s toss a coin you choose, heads or tails?” Jed smirks. He’s playing but I don’t have the energy for it, so advising my heart I decided to “I’ll sleep on the sofa” then I grab some pillow.

I left him in the bedroom and lay down on the sofa. It’s a bit cold but I can handle it, I think. “You can sleep on the bed if you want to” Jed said, he’s following me and I didn’t even notice it. “I’m fine” I said. “Okay, but Cheska I have to go right now. I need to meet someone” and by that I close my eyes to stop the tears from falling. “Is it Rose whom you’re going to meet?” I ask. “Why are you asking? I thought…” “You don’t need to tell me, you can go. We don’t need to ask permission from one another right?” I cut him off.

“How can you possibly say that?” he asks. I turn to look at him and smile “6 months contract, remember? You’re the one who told me” then I turn around from him. “Yeah, I will just leave my membership card here so that if you want anything you can use this and they will just charge it from me” “I don’t need it” I said. “I don’t have food here and you need to eat so you need this. The members of the club has a race game today, I need to participate. See you tonight” then he’s gone.

I wait for his car to start and it did. My phone buzzes indicating a call from who knows? “Hello?” I answer. “Hey, Cheska how are you? Finally, I’m able to contact you...” “Who’s this?” I cut the caller off and his voice is obviously a boy. “Sorry about that, it’s me Nathan Brown” “Oh! Hi! How are you?” that’s all I can say. “I’m fine thanks for asking, I just call to tell you that tomorrow 10 am at the Rider Community Beach” “Sorry, I don’t get what you’re putting down” I said. “The model thing, the set-up is at the Rider Community beach” he explains. “Ah! Good, I’ll be there” “Great, see you there” “See you” then we both hang up.

I decided to roam around the Racetrack Rider Community and let my mind and heart to clear off about Jed with Rose’s arms again. I shook my head not wanting to think about it again so I walked, walked and walked until I arrived to unexpected area. It’s so beautiful and peaceful; it’s like a mini forest.

I intended to walk deeper on it when “Are you okay?” a girl’s voice asking but who? Should I snoop around here? “Yes, you should be the one I’m asking” a voice of a guy answers. I gasps in shock, I knew that voice it’s. JED CRAWFORD. I glance at him and he’s with Rose! I quickly hide near a bush and listen to their conversation. “Yeah, I’m fine and I’m sorry” said Rose. “Sorry for what? It’s not your fault…” “Your car” she scoffs. “Let’s deal with that later” he said.

Then a silence occur so I started wondering what’s happening, I glance at them and! I felt my heart explode, my eyes starts crying, my hands are so tight. Jed and Rose in my own eyes they are kissing, I witness it in front of me. Should I run? Should I stay? Should I shout at them? 

To calm myself I try to walk out from the scene, later I know I step to a stick which makes a crack sound. I gasps in horror, have they heard her? Footsteps occur towards her and there standing in front of her, Jed panting and Rose following her husband. “Cheska, how long have you been here?” Jed gasps in shock. It’s because he’s afraid if you saw him kissing Rose! 

“Long enough to notice that I saw you two kissing” after I said it to him, I run as fast as I could. I wanted to go home now, I deserve to be happy.

I ran towards Jed’s house, I need to pack-up my things and “Cheska, thank God I found you, the photo shoot for the modeling has been rescheduled, it’s starting today and come on now” Nathan said inside his car without cutting his breath. I look at him and tears starts running down to my face. “Hey Nathan what have you done?” I hurriedly dried my tears and look at the person talking, the twins is on the backseat of Nathan’s car. “Okay, let’s go there and finish that modeling thing so I can go back to Seattle” I whisper.

Instead of letting me get inside Nathan’s car, the 3 boys step outside. “What’s wrong Cheska?” Noah asks. “Nothing, I just miss my…” “And please don’t lie” Jonah cuts me off. “It’s nothing” I mutter. “Good now let’s go, Noah and Jonah just tell Jed that Cheska is with me and that we’ll be at the Community beach” Nathan demands then he lead me to his car. Before Nathan can start driving “Jed, Nathan wants to elope with your wife” Noah shouts. “Nathan is so afraid to tell you” Jonah continues.

“What are you two doing?” I yell. “Just leave them alone, they keep on doing that” Nathan said “Let’s go” he continues and he starts the engine when “What the heck are you trying to do with her?” Jed just appears at the window with a furious look on his face.
