Violet in Red

Chapter I

"Here I am in New York city" Jasper said, standing in front of a red fassade with the typical New Yorks Disgns Jasper was very proud of himself. With two big bags in his hands he was walking through the big wooden door . He was very exhausted from his trip from Noway to here. Just two more steps he thought, and he would be in his new home. The flur looked old and sounded like some kind of hooror movie was once filmed a few years ago. He reached the end of the stairs and searched for his key in one of the big bags. And than there was the epic moment. Jasper would see his new home. He opened the door. he felt like he was home.

And than the moment was ruined by a naked woman who walked in his view. Jasper was to stunned to speak. The black woman turned around and saw him just to scream in fear. "Jackson here is a STRANGER! HELP!!" The woman grabbed a book laying at the counter next to her and was ready to hit him. A man was walking towards her. "Hey babe chill." He looked at Jasper. "Are you Mister Lind?". Jasper nod. Another woman with long brown hair came out of the room and leaned against the man and started kissing his neck. "This is Betty", he pointed to his left, "and the other one is Leonie". He turned toward the two woman and said >>Ladies? Would you please wait in the bedroom for me? I'll be a gentleman and show this nice guy over there his room.<< He winks at them and when the ladies were gone he turned around and walked past Jasper. "Just follow me. I don't want to let them wait. We couldn't even start round 5 cause you interrupted us" His roommate was being very rude but Jasper, who was still confused, took his bags and followed the strange boy into his new room. "I'm Jackson by the way and you seem to be my new roommate." He stopped and turned around "Listen, I don't wanna be your friend or something. Just pay your part of the rent and we're good okay? And don't bother me when I'm having fun with my toys. Got it?" Jasper, too stunned to speak just nodded slightly "yeah." Jasper walked into an almost empty room and looked around. The walls were painted in a cold type of blue and in the corner there was a small bed. The room itself wasn't that big either. Well it didn't really bother Jasper since he at least had a place to stay. Besides the rent he had to pay wasn't that expensive. Jasper threw his two bags in the corner and walked towards the big windows. He opened them and took a deep breath. It really was stuffy in here. He took a look out of the window. He could see the skyscrapers behind the block at the opposite side of the apartment. He turned around and walked towards the small wooden wardrobe. He opened it and pulled out some bedding.

After he had made his bed he sat down at the desk and started his Laptop he brought with him. After some time scrolling through some webpages he started writing various applications. The last one was for Minerva Industries. His dream job. He didn't really think they would accept him but it was at least worth a try. He always dreamed about working in a skyscraper for a celebrity. Lavend Minerva was the CEO of it. His father was known for the revolution of technology. A real genius. But after he retired his son took over the company.
Jasper sent off the E-mail and closed his laptop. Well somebody would surely hire him. And if it's the bar in the neighborhood. At least he would get payed enough to don't end up living under a bridge. He was kinda proud of himself. As he looked out the window stars were twinkling at the purple, red sky. He didn't notice how much time passed while he was so focused on writing these applications. It had gotten colder so he closed the windows and walked into the bathroom. He was tired so he wanted to get ready for bed. As he passed the bedroom from the morning he could hear loud moaning. Slightly disgusted he reached the bathroom. A shiver ran down his whole body. That was gonna be interesting.

Jasper was laying at his bed. He was laying there now for like 2 hours and just couldn't fall asleep. The moaning hadn't stopped but was now only heard softly.

Images flashed before him. From when he was 14 years old. He remembered the harsh grip at his arms. His loung contracted and he wasn't able to breathe anymore. A quiet whimper escaped his mouth. He crawled under his blanket and his body started to shake. Small tears ran down his face and sometimes you could hear a quiet whimper. He covered his mouth so others couldn't hear him.
He didn't wanted to think about it. That happened years ago and he thought he got over it. But it seemed he didn't.
After some time, tiredness took over him and he fell asleep.

The next morning he was woken up by the sunbeams which were shining through the windows right onto his face. He squished his eyes tightly shut and let out a buzz. Then he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. He didn't slept well. He was tired and hoped this day would pass fast. He just wanted the day to be over quickly.
He got himself out of bed and walked into the kitchen. He could see Jackson already sitting at the small round  table. He quickly mumbled a good morning and walked towards the coffee machine.
"Were are your girls?"
"Huh?"
Jackson looked up at him and took a moment to realize that Jasper expected an answer.
"Oh I sended them away. The landlady will be here soon. She wanted to welcome you I think" Jasper gave him a short nod.
"Did you already eat breakfast?"
Jackson looked back at his phone.
"No, I was just scrolling through Instagram."
"Do you want me to make you something", Jasper asked.
"Huh-?"
Jackson looked up from his phone. He didn't expect him to be this nice.
"Uh well- I guess I wouldn't mind"
Jasper gave him a small smile and turned around to get started. Jackson observed him for a few minutes until he looked back at his phone and opened a dating app.

After the breakfast, Jasper walked into the small bathroom. Suddenly the doorbell rang, "I'll open it" said walking towards the door. He opened it and there was an old lady with an happy smile plastered on her face. "Oh Hey Jackson, Look at you, you're taller." she laughed and pinched his cheeks. They seemed to be really close but Jasper didn't really wanted to know what kind of close. When the old lady saw Jasper she immediately ran to him. "Ohh what a handsome young man you are. I am Kasandra Ellen Thompson, but please call me Sandra or Sandy oki? I had to think about you this morning. I'm really glad Jackson would get a roommate, he has ladies around all the time." She smiled widely. This woman really speaks without a pause.Jasper forces himself to remember what he wanted to say. Miss Thompson was speaking way to fast. Jackson already disappeared but Jasper didn't really cared cause he was to focused to listen to the really happy woman in front of him. Sandra brought the cake she baked and ate one piece after the another. Later Jackson went to grab a bottle of wine and the evening went really well. He was getting tired really fast and then just went to his room, the two of the were drunk and laughing. He enjoyed the view from his window once again and was glad that he could sleep.

In the morning his Laptop made a noice. An Message was sent to him. He was invited to come over to the bar down the street to have a job interview in two days.

The conversation went well. His new boss told him to start on the next Monday.
