Mind over Matter

Some Uh Oh's aren't really Uh Oh's

Jackson's rubbed his eyes as he sat up his head bumping hard against the low set ceiling under the staircase, there was light filtering in under the crack in the door.

Damn. It wasn't a dream. He growled at himself and attempted to sit up further. He let out a pained whine when a paintbrush handle stabbed his bottom. He bit his lower lip and hoisted himself up. He rubbed his butt and peeked through the crack in the door.

Silence. He took a deep breath and pushed the door open. It squeaked softly on it's hinges, he winced and swallowed. He looked from side to side. Pheeew.

Jackson took another step forward and before he knew it he was standing in front of the window.

Open. Just how he left it. He stuck one leg through and nearly fell the rest of the way out when his phone went off in his pocket. He growled and climbed out the window running towards the woods with his hand in his pants pocket.

He jogged through the woods occasionally checking his pocket for the flower.

"Hey Jackson" He skidded to a hault. He turned around and leaned for a tree to rest on and missed. Real smooth. He stumbled but caught himself against the tree with his shoulder. Nice.

"Oh Derek hey man what's up?"

"Nothing worth talking about. What are you doing out here, in the woods, all by yourself?" he motioned around.

"Uh, I could ask you the same question." he answered.

"I jog those trail every morning." He raised an eyebrow and crosses his arms.

"Uh same" Jackson stammered.

"Never seen you before"

"Just wanted to try something different, haven't been jogging much and I figured some nature would do me some good, ya know me and nature" He playfully petted the tree next to him.

"You do know that tree is poison oak right?" Derek pointed out. An amused smirk on his lips.

Jackson had never moved so fast "Gah!" he wiped his hands on his clothes.

"Mhm, you and nature." Derek stated before turning and jogging away.

Dick. Jackson grumbled.

When he finally made it back to his car he didn't know what to do. So he started with the most logical thing to do. He started his car and drove home.

He would be late for school. Might as well just skip. Or risk another detention with Harris. Jackson winced. He didn't want to spend his Friday in detention alone. He huffed out a breath.

Finally pulling into his driveway he heaved out of his car and went inside. Surprise surprise, nobody's home. He rolled his eyes.

When Jackson reached his room he took out the flower, examining it in his palm.

"Doesn't look all that special?" he turned it over and back "Mind control magic my ass" He rolled his eyes, placing the flower down on his nightstand.

Jackson stretched his arms above his head, his shirt ridding up a bit. He yawned and scratched at his stomach. Damn closet. He rolled his neck. Craa-aa-ck. Then rolled it to the other side. Craa-aa-ck. He sighed contentedly before faceplanting into his bed. He curled his comforter around him and smiled.

"I missed you too, baby" he kissed his pillow.

-------(Late afternoon)--------

"Jackson" his mother poked her head into his room "Jackson"

He was sound asleep. She smiled softly and looked around the room. Her eyes landed on a single purple flower laying on his nightstand. She couldn't help herself, she loved flowers.

She walked over and picked it up between her thumb and index finger. It was quiet beautiful. She wonders whom it was from before she took a big whiff of it. It was odorless, she pouted and was about to place the flower back when suddenly her body became heavy and she collapsed onto the floor in a heap.

About an hour later Jackson awoke with a stretch and a yawn. He smacked his lips softly. He looked over at his alarm clock. 5:37pm. He yawned again before his eyes caught on the body laying at the bottom of his nightstand.

"MOM!" he launched himself out of bed and hunched over her. "Mom!?" he shook her shoulders "Damnit mom wake up!"

And just like that her eyes opened. They stared blankly at him before they went back to normal. She sat up and rubbed her head. Jackson noticed the flower in her hand and snatched it away putting it back on the nightstand.

"Did you inhale that!?" He pointed to the flower.

"I just sniffed it" She rubbed her eyes and stood up.

He hissed and whined "Whhhhhy!"

She raised an eyebrow at him "Why what?"

He facepalms and  glares at her through his hand. Pleeeease just go away. He thought. And just like that her eyes misted over and she left.

He just stared at the spot she had been standing in. Come back. He thought this time. Seconds later she returned. Go away. She left. The same misty look in her eyes.

This time the most wicked grin grew over Jackson's lips. Perfect.
