Flight

The next morning

"Jason! Are you for real?" Delaine yelled I jumped up

"What," I squinted, light hurt my eyes and my head pounded. She was standing in my doorway holding the quarter empty bourbon bottle.

"This.. this is what caused dad to be the way he is and treat you the way he did!, I can't believe you so much for not wanting to be like dad!"

"You have no room to talk! You left me there with him ignoring what he was doing to me . I fought back and gave up. I was so tired... tired of everything I didn't care anymore! So you have no room to talk now get the hell out!" I grabbed the bottle from her, she backed out of my room I slammed the door I looked at the bottle and took a sip.

"Fine be like that! You should probably call Saige before she leaves your drunk ass" Delaine yelled, I heard her stomp down the stairs. I stopped for a second. She was right. I need to call her. I picked my phone and the only person I wanted to talk to was Ava. I thought about everything that has happened with her, right up to the moment I met her almost five years ago.

Flash back

Freshman year

I walked into school, I was scared. I looked around at everyone. A girl caught my eye, she was short had light brown hair and from what I could tell as she walked by she had the prettiest blue eyes. I have always been a sucker for blue eyes and brown hair.

The day went on and I noticed her looking at me from time to time. I was so nervous to talk to her.

"Hey pretty boy" she yelled as I walked past her many hours later, finally she made a move so I didn't need to.

"Hey"I said, trying no to make it obvious that I'm nervous. Our eyes met, and butterflies grew in my stomach, her eyes we deep blue like the ocean.

"What's your name?" she asked smiling, she had the perfect smile that could make any guy melt.

"You'll figure it out" I said in a flirty tone, I smiled and walked away. I hope she understands that i'm flirting my techniques are different sometimes. To my surprise she followed, i'm glad she knew that I was flirting and understood my humor.

"So what class do you have?" she walked next to me

"Science" I simply answered

"Well what do you know I have that too!" she smirked, we walked into class and took our seats she sat down right next to me, I looked over at her and she gave me a goofy smile, I smiled back but then looked away, I knew that she was looking at me I could see her out of the corner of my eye. I'm not going to lie she is pretty cute but she seems like a huge flirt.

The teacher read off everyones names

"Ava James"

"Here"

"So that's your name" I looked dover at her who sat low in her seat arms crossed looking at me

"Yep so what's yours?"

"You will see" I said looked towards the front with a devilish smirk

Real smooth I thought.

I sat there in my car looking at the empty spot where Jason used to park his car, I missed him, his smile his hair, how he would hug me and kiss my forehead, and his cologne I really missed breathing that in. I took a breath and dialed his number a few rings went by

"Hey" my heart raced when I herd his voice 

"Hi, I miss you! Can we be ok again?" I was so anxious for what he was going to say

"Oh god yes, I miss you so much! I'm so sorry for leaving but I had too I felt stuck and suffocated" he sounded very sad, some of his words were slurring

"I know, I love you Jason" there was a minute of silence

"I love you too Saige" he sounded like he was crying

"I call you tonight" he said sniffling

"I love you" he hung up the phone, I took a deep breath and felt calm. I sat there thinking of what would happen if I left I will be 18 in three months anyway. I looked at his dad Jusstin who was stumbling into the yard and yelling and the door that hit him on his way out. He reminded me of Jason they are more like then he and I would like to admit, They are so both angry and lash out I did worry that Jason would turn int his father he is already scary when he is mad, he yells, throws things and it scares me sometimes. I also remembered one of his who knows what she is said. I had called her because he had been texting her. She don't answer him so I called to see what was up.

I went into the bathroom, I looked at myself I looked just like my dad... drunk and a waste of space.

I parked in my sisters driveway, she is the type of older sister who has stable life, husband money and a good job.

Hey! Jessica I have a question for you"

'Saige if this is about you living with me it's no I am pregnant and I need a stress free environment" I rolled my eyes she has always been like this

"Nooo wanna buy me a plane ticket to Nebraska?" I sat down with pout hoping she would say yes

"What?' she asked giving me a weird look, I huffed

"To go see Jason"

"Ok" I was taken back by her answer

"Better go before I have baby, happy pregnant me won't be here for long" I grabbed her laptop and booked a flight for the next day, I called Jason's sister to tell her I was coming.

I ran into the house

"JASON!" I dropped my bag and didn't bother to take my shoes off

"What?" I bursted into his room causing him to jump

"Nothing' I couldn't tell him that Saige was coming

"I thought something bad happened"
