Where is Your Heart? // Jason McCann

Chapter 22

Autumn

Months had gone by since Trevor's death; school was over, and I moved back in with my mom (after being grounded for 3 months for leaving in the first place). She knows about Jason and even met him, she likes him a lot, but since I'm grounded, I can only hang out with him for a few hours before coming back home. If I was out later than curfew, 8 o'clock, then my mom will extend how long I'm grounded.

I was with Jason at the pond in the park; it seemed like it had been years since he first took me there. We sat a couple feet from the water's edge, soaking in the afternoon sun. Jason looked over at me, looking like he wanted to say aomething, but nothing came out.

"What?" I asked as he suddenly looked nervous.

"I, um, I got something for you." he said, taking a deep breath then he reached into his pocket and tok out what looked a ring box.

"Jason-" I stopped talking when he opened the little case, inside was a shiny silver ring with a gold heart on it and "A promise is forever" engraved in it.

"It's a promise ring." he blushed, taking my left hand. "Autumn Jones, I know we haven't been together for very long, but I can't help the way I feel about you. You made me feel things I never thought I'd feel for anyone; you made me feel love. I love you so much, Autumn. And I promise I will always love you I'll never hurt you like Trevor did. I promise to be there whenever you need me, and I won't ever pressure you into anything or give up on you."

Tears brimmed my eyes as he slipped the ring on my ring finger. "Jason-" I started, gasping at the beauty of the ring. "I-I love you too."

He cupped my face in his hands and kissed me, both of us smiling in the kiss. I knew Jason wasn't much of the "romantic " type so it meant a lot that he got this. I love Jason more than anything; I never thought I'd love or trust any guy again after Trevor, but I can trust Jason with anything and I love him with all my heart.
