After Jackson got the news that his Mom was in remission, everything changed between us, for the better.

My fears of lack of commitment had pretty much dissipated. It wasn’t just fun between us anymore. It was not just Jackson showing up at my house at night and on the weekends.

He finally invited me to his house. I got to see his parents again, which was amazing. I was mildly worried about how they’d react to us dating, but they were both so wonderful. His mom seemed especially glad to see me again.

And I was glad to be back. Not just because it reminded me of what we had when we were younger, but because I felt like we were forming a more serious future.

We got to see each other more too. I came over to his house while he was helping his mom or spending time with his family. We even slept in his old room some nights. That part was a little odd. But also comforting in a weird way.

Just like when we were in high school, most mornings he woke up before me. The first night I woke up in his bed alone was like the worst déjà vu I ever felt. I panicked for a moment until he came back in bed with pancakes. Since then, it stressed me out a lot less.

On this particular morning, I was awoken by Lyla, his kitten. This was usually how I woke up when I was at his house.

Lyla was such a sweetheart. She reminded me a lot of Callie except a lot more energetic. She’d lay in your lap sometimes, but she loved to play. She was batting the loose hair on my forehead when I woke up.

I reached out to pet her. “Hey, sweet girl,” I whispered and smiled.

Waking up to Lyla was nice. I wasn’t much of a morning person but who can be upset with a kitten in your face? Plus, I had a real soft spot for Lyla.

If it weren’t for her, I never would’ve ended up with Jackson again. Finding her that day was the best thing that ever happened to me. I honest to God never thought I could be this happy…

She leaped onto my chest and I rolled over in bed. I already knew Jackson was gone; I couldn’t feel him on the bed. I assumed he’d be back in here with breakfast at any minute, though.

I rolled over again and hear a small crunching sound. I immediately shot up in bed to find a folded up piece of paper on the pillow next to me.

For a moment, my heart sank. It felt like I might be in a nightmare, reliving that previous awful memory. But I knew I was awake.

I opened it slowly, cautiously, not knowing what to expect.
