The Last Thing I Wanted

The Last Thing I Wanted(Edith) I never wanted to hurt anyone nor did I want to hurt the only person I thought I would ever love. It was always the three of us: Jackson, Auggy, and me. Growing up, we were all best friends and by the time we were in high school, Jackson and I started dating. The football player and cheer leader as dumb as it sounded but I think that's what I loved most about it.
It was the middle of a big game when Jackson was tackled to the ground. I had no idea what was going on but I knew in my heart it wasn't good. Before I knew it, I could feel Auggy's arms around me telling me it was going to be okay, that Jack was fine but he wasn't.
Auggy took me to the hospital where Jackson was at. The doctor told me that Jackson was never going to be able to walk again. I could remember falling into Auggy's arms crying my eyes out. I thought it was all a dream, when I woke up I would find Auggy and Jackson in my front yard tackling one another waiting on me to get ready. But that never happened.
Three weeks into Jackson's treatment and he began to change. He was getting more and more mad at me when I tried to help him into his chair. It got to the point wherei would run out of his room crying because of the words he would call me. Then the next day he would say he was sorry and would never say the words again. I believed him until the next time he said the words.
The more distant I became from Jackson, the closer I got to Auggy. We spent more time together in his car singing our favorite songs or chilling at his house watching a movie. I was beginning to fall more and more in love with him before I could stop myself. That's when Jackson started to take a turn for the worse.
I went to visist him one day then afterwords I was going to go tell Auggy I couldn't hang out with him anymore. Jackson accused me of cheating on him then hit me across my face. I let him hit me one more time before I left the room. When I saw Auggy I told him that I was playing ball with Nate and that I catched the ball wrong. He didn't believe me.
He took me back to the hospital where he spent an hour yelling at Jackson saying he couldn't believe that he would do something like to me. I stopped him. I told him that I loved Jackson and he needed to back off. Auggy got mad and I took a step back because I thought he was going to hit me. That made him even more mad.
A month later after being hit a million times by Jackson, I left him. I ran all the way to Auggy's house. When I knocked on his door one of my old friends named Alice opened up. Her lip gloss was smeared and I knew my chance with Auggy was gone.
I once thought that Jackson was my world, the love of my life but then I came to realize that love was not someone smacking on you everyday because you said the wrong thing that love was the thing I had with Auggy. The laughing. The singing. The quiet moments. That was love. The love I know crave to have with someone knew or at least I though.
Auggy and I decided to hang out one day in the middle of our senior year. He looked really good and I hope he thought the same about me. Before I could say anything, his lips met mine and I knew that meant we were okay...
