HAPPY ENDING?

CHAPTER 2

      Flora arrived home and tossed her bag on the couch she was exhausted. She made her way to the kitchen. She a note on the kitchen counter small dining table she picked it up and read;
Hey honey just wanted to say that i'll be home late today, make yourself something to eat, do your chores and please get your bag pack of the couch, thank you.
                                          Lots of love
                                              Mum💗
        Flora sighed and tossed the paper aside, this wasn't the first time her mum was staying out late and she was kinda used to it already. She picked up her bag and made her way to her room, she went upstairs to her small but comfortable room, the walls were painted sky blue with a touch of leather black and bits of royal blue, the wardrobe standing by the wall close to the door, the bed was in the middle beside it was a cute bed side table, and on there other side there was a reading table and a few books were nearly arranged on it, a few steps away from the table shoes were arranged on a small shoe rack, then a door leading to the bathroom. She stepped in and closed the door behind her she dropped her bag on the floor beside her bed and plopped into the bed face first.
       She then faced up and stared at the  ceiling and thought about her life and now her mum had been too busy to attend to her and she then will cry her self to sleep, she thought about school and how Jason asked for her number, she didn't want to be one of his newest prey after all he has a reputation for dating half of the school entire female population and so far she has been that only one who has been able to resist his "charms" just then her stomach growled, she had almost forgotten about eating. "What should I eat?" She asked herself. She stood up and went to The kitchen as she was coming down her phone rang on the screen was written in bold letters "UNKNOWN", even though she wasn't allowed to pick unknown calls she answered this one but what she didn't expect was the voice on the other line:
Flora: hello?
Unknown number: hello um please is this flora?
Flora: yes it is, please who am I speaking with?
Unknown number: can't you tell it's me Jason
Flora: JASON??!!!, wow I didn't expect you to call.
Jason: yeah, just wanted to call and check on you.
Flora: uhm thanks, so is that all?
Jason: NO!!!, I know it's a bit sudden but I  wanted to ask if you wanna go out for dinner?
Flora: di-dinner?!
Jason: yeah but I understand if you have something else planned
Flora: oh I would love to go out with you besides I'm going to be home alone.
Jason: great so pick you up at 6?
Flora: yeah 6 is okay, but I wanna come meet you at the restaurant myself.
Jason: uhm okay, if that's what you want but we're still on at six right?
Flora: yeah so......bye?
Jason: hum bye see you later
Flora: yeah later.
       And she hung up. What the hell did she just get herself into?, she had nothing to wear and she checked the it was already 4:30. She was full on panic mode, she was also going to need expert help:
Flora: becky i need your help
Becky: what is it?
Flora: just come over and I'll explain!
          ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
       Jason sat down with his phone on his chest staring dreamily at the ceiling. He was so excited and nervous at the same time, he was excited because he was going to see her and he was nervous because what if she didn't show up or what if she doesn't like the restaurant or even worse what if she didn't like HIM, As All these negative thoughts crossed his mind he was startled when his mum knocked. "Honey, it's time to eat come down stairs"his mum mrs park shouted still standing outside the door.
"No mum I won't be eating at home tonight" he said a little to excitedly.
"And why is that?"
"I'm going out for dinner" he said as he finally opened the door.

"So who is she?" Mrs park asked with one eyebrow raised.
"Just so you know we aren't dating and she's just a friend"
"Well I never said you guys were dating, I'm just asking because you've never taken any girl seriously since fiona" at the mention of fiona jason's face fell it's been years since she died.
Flashback.........................
         8year old jason ran down the lawn with almost same age as he is, she had blonde hair with emerald green eyes pale skin and one thing was for sure she was a pretty child. As they made reached jason's backyard they both burst into laughter when they were finally able to breathe Jason spoke up. "Fiona did you see her face?" Jason said burst into another round of laughter."did I see her face?, that was Iconic she was like: get of my lawn you two!!!" The girl named fiona said shaking her tiny fist in the air trying to imitate and old lady which made jason laugh harder because of how weird she looked. Soon after they had stopped laughing a slightly younger looking version of mrs Park came out. She looked at the two kids and shook her head. "What gave you two trouble makers been up to?" She asked
"Mum!"
"Mrs Park!" Both fiona and jason shouted together and gave Mrs Park the biggest bear hug their arms could muster. "So what have you two been up to?"
"Nothing" both of them said simutanously.
"If you both say so, anyway Fiona your mum is calling you she says it's time to leave"
"Leave?!, who is leaving?!" Jason asked more worried than confused
"Okay Mrs Park i'll be there in a minute, I just want to say goodbye to jason" fiona replied nad Mrs Park nodded in understanding.
"Jason" Fiona called and faced him. "I'm going to California, I sorry I didn't tell you earlier"
"Why?!" Jason said his eyes filled with tears.
"I'm sorry" fiona said her voice barely audible. She looked down and started fiddling with her finger.
"Can't you stay?, I'm sure I could hide you in my wardrobe or maybe you could fit me inside your suitcase!" Jason said voice shaking.
"I'm sorry. I can't stay" fiona deadpanned.
       Both of them couldn't hold it in anymore and broke into tears, it was the first time one of them was going to be away from each other for so long."But fiona promise me that you'll come back, pinky swear?" Jason said and held up his pinky. "Pinky swear I"ll cone back and then we will run across old mrs Jenkins lawn together" and both of them managed to break out a small smile as they swore just then Fiona's mum and Mrs Park came through the door. "Fiona time to go"  her mum announced.
"Okay" and she faced Jason"I have to go now, take care"
"Don't forget to call!" Jason shouted as she entered the car. She turned and smiled then replied "I won't promise!" And they zoomed off.
         
        Hours turned into days as days turned into weeks, fiona kept in touch and both would talk for so long that most times their parents had to drag them from the phone, literally. Then one day after two excruciatingly long months had passed fiona said the word jason had been waiting to hear.
"Jason guess what?"Fiona giggled into the phone.
"What?!"jason asked worriedly
"Well.........I'm coming home tomorrow"Fiona finally announced. It took some time for Jason to understand what she just said and when he did he released a very loud woohoo which fiona just laughed at.
"Fiona are you really coming back?"
"Of course I am silly, we're leaving today and mommy said we'll be there tomorrow" fiona squealed so loudly that Jason had to move the phone from his ear.
"Oh I can't wait, but please cut down the squealing" Jason giggled.
"Opps I'm sorry,guess I'm so excited"
"Me too"
"Any way, I have to go we're leaving"
"Okay, see you soon" and she hung up.
Time skip.......................................
       Jason couldn't contain his excitement he sat in front of the window literally vibrating, it is the day, Fiona is coming back today, and that explains the reason he sat IN FRONT OF THE WINDOW not by the window IN FRONT OF IT!, all he wanted was to see one car and that was fiona's.
"Won't you eat first?" Mrs Park asked and chuckled.
"Nope I'm not hungry"  jason replied with a dimpled grin.
"Alright but when you are hungry you can come meet me"
"Okay mommy"
            Jason waited and waited, still no sign of her  but he never lost hope he sat there and continued waiting. He waited for 12 hours still no sign of her. He kept on waiting .........and waiting..........and waiting, eventually he gave up, as he came down the staircase he saw his mom crying and his dad comforting her. He could hear the noise the television made there were blaring Of sirens. "Mommy what's wrong?" Jason asked putting on a confused expression. Almost as if a button was pushed Mrs Park wiped her face with the back other hand. "Oh nothing is wrong dear, aren't you waiting for Fiona?"
"No mommy I'm not waiting anymore"
"Okay why don't don't you go to the dinning table your food is waiting for you"
"Okay" Jason ran off in towards the dinning table. After he was done with his food he went straight to the phone, part of him was annoyed that Fiona lied to him and there other part was worried and scared that something bad had happened. As he dialed her number with sweaty palms he planned on how he was going to lecture his best friend for lying to him. The phone beeped and beeped but she didn't pick up, he kept on trying and trying but she still didn't pick up, now he was scared and worried he tossed the phone aside and ran down stairs. "Mommy?" Jason called as he alighted the last step "yes honey what is it?" Mrs Park asked with an emotionless tone
"Well it's just that, Fiona told me she would be coming home today but she hasn't arrived yet and I tried calling her but the lady on the phone said that her number was not reachable"
"Jason" Mrs park called softly"well the reason Fiona isn't picking up your calls is because she's in the hospital". Jason's breathing quickened. "What is she doing there mommy?, is she hurt?"
"I dunno, but why don't we go see her?" Jason quickly stood up and ran towards the front door.
Time skip.............................
            As Jason waited for his mom to finish talking to the nice lady at the reception he looked around, he saw people of different conditions, and the air was filled with that usual hospital smell and suddenly he felt sick to the pits of his stomach, he hated hospitals not only because of the smell but because it gave him this eerie feeling and everything didn't sit well with him. The sick feelings intensified as if to tell him that something was definitely wrong. After his mum chatted with the nice lady behind the counter, they both went to the waiting area. Many hours passed but still they waited at a point Jason's dad Mr park  left using the excuse of 'watching over the house' to leave. as Jason sat there he wondered what happened to his best friend for her to end up in the hospital he was worried sick but hid it perfectly. Another two hours passed and Jason's eyelids were becoming heavier he slowly turned to his mum, she sat there all pale and and wide eyed, she held a bottle so tight her knuckles turned into a mixture of whitish-blue, the sight before him horrified him is seemed like Mrs Park was slowly losing it. He wasn't sure what happened the next minute everything was like a blur, but he was now Patting his mom's head on his lap. Another hour passed and they remained in that position until the doctor in charge of fiona and her parent's surgery came out, like flash Jason's mum was clinging to the doctor asking if they made it."I'm sorry we lost them........all three of them" the doctor said and removed Mrs Park's hand of his coat then walked away. Jason was about to ask his mum what the doctor meant when he heard a loud ring it  continued until he couldn't bear it anymore..................
                        Present situation
         it took Jason some time together hold of reality, but when he finally did his phone was ringing beside him on the screen was written UNCLE JAKE:
Uncle Jake: hello?
Jason: hello uncle, how are you?
Uncle Jake:I'm good and you?
Jason:i'm doing very fine
Uncle Jake:I saw you missed calls and I decided to call back anything I can help with?
Jason: uhm so i was wondering if I could make a reservation at your restaurant?
Uncle Jake: A reservation??
             ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
            Flora was sitting on her bed with her head in hands obviously tensed. "so let me get this straight, jason Called and asked you out and you accepted?" Becky asked while looking through flora's dresses.
"Yeah, that's why I called you here obviously"
"Omg, I'm so proud of you, your first date. So where is he taking you?"
"Uhh.............."
"Wait don't tell me you told him not to pick you up and forgot to ask him where you were going to have dinner?" Becky asked looking shocked.
"Yeah.....I did" flora said and pursed her lips.
"Are you Freaking serious?...."
"You know what I'm gonna call him now"
"You better!!!" Flora quickly grabbed her phone and dialed Jason number. She felt so weird because (a) she was calling him even though there were still going to meet later. (b) how would she ask him such a question without sounding like an idiot?. She was still lost I'm thought until he spoke through the phone:
Jason: heyyyyyy
Flora:hey there, uhm please sorry to bother but I forgot to ask where we will be having dinner?
      Jason chuckled deeply over the phone making him sound a bit sexy, flora gulped.
Jason: you know you are very funny, we'll be having dinner at the restaurant on main street called 'luxury delight'.
Flora: okay thanks see you later
            And she hung up. "So where is he taking you?" Becky asked while holding up two dresses
"He said something about this restaurant it's called luxury delight, you know it?" Flora asked. Becky's eyes widened in disbelief. "OMG!!!, that's one of the top three fanciest restaurant in the world. I've been trying to get in but apparently you need an invitation from the owner to get in!"
"What?!"flora asked terrified
"I know right?, you lucky bitch"becky said and gave her a light punch on her arm. Becky excitedly looked through flora's dresses and eventually found one, she was very excited for her friend, flora felt the total opposite, fancy restaurant? She never expected him to take her to such an expensive place. As she quietly sat on the bed she wondered if it was too late to ditch this date.
