Living with a Jerk

Chapter 18

Not Edited You should know this by now :D
Kinda short.

Jason stood there in shock. He didn't make a single movement. He merely even blinked. The only thing you could have seen was the rise and fall of his chest.

"I-I was just about to call you." I stuttered as Jason just gave me a blank look.

I then felt an arm around my waist, pulling me closer to their side. As I looked up at Matt, I saw him smirking in Jason's direction.

"Carter what's going on?" Jason asked dangerously low as he glared at Matt.

"Nothing much." I chuckled nervously and ran my hands through my hair.

"Nothing much?"  He questioned, obviously not believing me one bit.

"Yup."

Matt then pulled me even closer to him, causing Jason to look down at Matt's hand that was around my waist.

"Please Carter. I hope to god that this isn't what I think it is."

"Depends on what you're thinking." I muttered.

His jaw then clenched and unclenched as he finally made eye contact with me. My eyes widened as I looked at Jason. I've never seen him this angry. He didn't even look this angry when he and Matt were beating the shit out of each other.

"Jason I-"

"Are you with him?" He asked and stared at me dead in the eye.

Guilt. A pang of guilt washed over me. Why? I have no freaking idea.

"Jason-"

"Are you two together or not?!" He yelled , causing me to flinch. Jason's eyes then soften when he saw the effect he had on me when he yelled.

"Sorry. Are you two together? Yes or no. That's all I'm asking." He whispered. I had a feeling he already knew the answer and he just wanted me to say it.

"Yes. We're-"

"That's all I need to know." He muttered before leaving the kitchen.

"Jason, wait?"

"What?"

I stared at him. Searching his face for any hint of emotion. Anything.

But all the emotion he had just a few moments ago were gone. He just gave me a blank look, not revealing anything.

I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. I was speechless.

"Why? Why are you with that loser?" Jason finally asked.

"I-I, we were talking and he finally told me the reason why he left and I thought it was a reasonable excuse, so I took him back." I rambled on.

"Reasonable excuse? Are you actually going to believe his stupid 'reasonable excuse?'" Jason asked and air quoted reasonable excuse.

"Yeah, why will he lie?!" I angrily asked.

"Are you stupid? It's obvious that this asshole will do anything to get back with you and if it comes to a point where he has no choice but to lie, I doubt he'll hesistate to do so!"

"What is your problem?! Why does it matter so much to you if I'm with Matt or not?!" I yelled.

"It doesn't!"

"Then stop acting like you're my boyfriend or something! It's none of your damn business whether I take Matt back or not. I'm a big girl, I can make my own decisions. If I wanna be with Matt, I can and you can't do shit about it. This is my life! If Matt chooses to break my heart again, which I hope he doesn't." I muttered and gave Matt a warning glare which he gave me a reassuring smile too. "But if he does I can take care of myself."
