On Ancient Ground

This is a Home...

Livia had made it back to the house with Anna's family and looked around the place. She finally had made it to her room just in time to hear a knock on her window. She walked over to see a boy. She opened the window and he entered.

"Took you long enough. A guy could catch a cold waiting on you to open a window." He laughed.

"Why not use the door?" Livia asked.

"Um... Because I am sure your dad wouldn't love a guy in your room, especially if he knew what we did today." He smirked and pulled her close.

Livia put her hands on his chest and looked at him. "So, boys aren't allowed in my room... and what did we do today?" She asked.

Jackson sighed. "You going to play it that way, huh? I told you I didn't want this to be a one-time thing. I really like you. I think I love you honestly."

Livia perked up and smiled. If this was true and Anna felt the same, she had just found her way into this body forever. She smiled. "Did I say I love you back?" She questioned.

Jackson spun her around and laughed. "You really like to play this game, don't you? Well, what if you didn't. Maybe you are just using me." He laughed.

Livia sighed and sat down on the bed. "That wouldn't be the first time I have done that. I am not really good at these sorts of things. I tire of people easily." She said plainly.

Jackson sat beside her. "I don't think you do. I think you just believe you don't deserve love. Or just a good life. We aren't going to be trapped in this place forever you know." And just like that, he leaned in for a kiss. Livia didn't resist. He was a good kisser. She had been alone in the dark so long and this is what she needed. Without a second thought, they were caught up in each others arms and she fell asleep.
