Outside the Dome

Chapter 2:Jason

Her beautiful golden hair flows on the breeze as we walk home. I can't help but stare at her, I want to take her in my arms and make her feel secure and kiss her. She notices me staring, "Jason, what are you staring at?". I clear my throat and shake my head, "Oh uh, nothing". I can tell she knows I'm lying.. She smiles "Jason?" She stops walking. I look at her then around us, "Yeah, what is it?". "I was just wondering..... but um, who do you like?" She steps a little closer to me. I scratch my head and think, how badly i want to tell her, You. But I can't, besides she likes that Aaron guy. "I don't like anyone.."
She glares at me then puts her head down, almost as if I've insulted her. "Why do you ask... anyway?" I look down at her. She shrugs her shoulders and looks back up at me, we continue to walk home silently. Why'd I say that?... I had the chance to tell her how I really felt, and I chickened out. I'm a coward... My hand brushes against hers but I quickly snatch it away.I shove it in my pocket so it doesn't happen again.Jamie looks over at our house on the hill. It's surrounded by plastic trees and grass. "I'll race ya'" she says
"Your on"
We both take off into sprints. I feel like I'm in slow motion, her smile and her laugh are just so beautiful. Her brown hair flows in the wind of her speed. She reaches the house first like always. She presses her head against my chest, I don't react, just stand there. "Jason, Jamie.. your past your-" She stops and giggles.Jamie jumps up, "Hey, sorry I was just... um, listening to his heartbeat...". I shake my head and smile.. Listening to my heartbeat? Mom smiles as she leads us into the house. The sweet smell if freshly baked bread, smoked meat and cut salad.
"Smells delicious mom" I kiss her forehead and sit down at the table.
"Your father has to work a little late tonight, so after dinner you two go straight to bed.. understand?"
Jamie nods as she shovels the food into her mouth. I laugh and so does mom.
"So how was your day you two?". Mom sits down next to me. I shrug my shoulders bit Jamie stops eating and looks up at me. Mom doesn't know about Jamies "visions". She would probably report us to the TMIC, The men in charge.Dad is next in line to be the man in charge, that's why he's never home. "It was good, we went for a run and talked a little"  Jamie adds to the conversation. Minutes fly by... "Okay you two, off to bed". I stand up and put my plate in the sink and Jamie follows. "Jamie could you wait here one second" Mom calls. I nod to her and walk up the stairs.
