So, my first time in The Truth About Forever category…I think first story actually ABOUT The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen, but, erm, yea, I loved this book and was really disappointed with the lack of fanfics about it. SO I'm probably gonna be posting here a lot… that's if you guys like it…? But no more babbling! On with the story!

"I love you,"

(Jason's POV)

Naturally, Macy was already worried about Bethany and Amanda.

I couldn't possibly see Macy as taking them as anything but unfriendly, of course she couldn't, she was very fragile still from that business, very awkward.

It was a bit endearing actually, seeing her try so hard to make people enjoy her company.

It was also a bit annoying, but I supposed everyone has flaws, perhaps…

It's just harder to find them in some people.

We had gone down to the lake this morning; we'd studied the temperatures and bacteria's, very easy, very elementary.

I'd been partners with Jamie, she was quite… spontaneous, I hadn't liked it when she had splashed me, I had hated it when she slipped and soaked herself, after a quick scowl, she had stopped her fooling around.

At least Macy is not like that.

That would be simply unbearable.

How could Jamie live like that?

Unpredicted?

Unplanned?

Unknown?

That, my friends, is the only reason people die, but you would think that, Jamie, being a "gifted," girl, would know this, perhaps I was the only one conserving my life.

Those poor kids.

"Hey, Jason!"

Someone, Andrew, maybe, called out.

I was tempted to greet him as well.

No.

Not in the plan, you're not supposed to be friends with him this summer… maybe next year, when he gets rid of all those stupid jokes.

I pretended not to hear, and instead, decided to check into Macy's dramatics.

"I know it may seem petty to you, all this info desk drama. But I guess I just really miss you, and I'm lonely, and it's hard to go to a place where you're so spectacularly unwelcome. I'll just be really happy when you come home.

I love you, Macy."

I love you?

What was that supposed to mean?

Perhaps I hadn't been clear on what I wanted when I agreed to that first date.

But what had I done to lead her on, so thoroughly, that she believed "love" was the only feelings we had towards each other?

I hadn't allowed her to even kiss me, I always kissed her.

We didn't hold hands in public, I had even told her I wanted to save myself for marriage, even then we never talked about marriage.

Where did she get this idea?
Where did she get off thinking that love was an appropriate way to close an email?

I thought Macy knew me, we weren't to that point yet, we still hadn't done a lot of things that lead up to those three words, how could Macy be so blind?

Perhaps she's deprived with her… detached mother and dead father?

I took a deep breath, and quickly, thoughtfully, constructed my response.

So, how do ya'll like it? I know, maybe not many people visit here, so I might not get any reviews, but I did like how this turned out… so thin air is gonna be stuck with me for quite some time. R&R!
