Hostage

Chapter 39 - Hit and run

Jason was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed as he patiently waited on Dani to get the rest of her stuff out of the house. She didn't have much, but it was enough to where she had to have at least two suit cases.

Zoey finished cooking the hamburger meat which surprisingly didn't burn. To occupy Abby, Zoey let her help.

Dani had both of her suit cases in her hands, tears were streaming down her cheeks, and dripping off of her chin.

Jason heaved a sigh and clenched his jaw in and out.

"Jase... Do you hate me?" Dani asked gnawing on her bottom lip. Jason paused at her words.

Dani anxiously waited for Jason to answer, her palms began to sweat and she felt like she was going to puke up the few beers she had drank.

Their eyes met, and their stare locked.

"Just leave... you caused enough damage." Jason said bluntly with no emotion.

Dani held back her sobs. "But... Jase I-"

"Leave, I don't need an apology." Dani turned her back and held her suit cases in her hands, letting them roll behind her as she walked out of the door. Jason shut the door and locked it afterwards.

"Seems like that went well?" Zoey said craning her neck towards Jason as she was pouring the meat into a pot of tomato sauce. Jason had his hands in his pockets, his thumbs were poking out of the sides.

Jason scratched the back of his neck and nodded. letting his hand drop to his side. "I had to do what was best."

Abby was standing on a chair to make her tall enough to see over the stove. She was swirling the spoon into the sauce, mixing in the hamburger meat. Jason curved his lips into a slight smile.

"My queen and my princess both cooking dinner, that's what I like to see." Jason pecked Zoey's and Abby's cheeks. Abby was still shook up from the incident that happened, but slowly she was getting over it. Abby has seen worse, but the thing that scared her the most was seeing Jason in his "Jason McCann mode" Which wasn't that pretty.

Jason had no intentions of letting Abby see his bad side, but whenever something strikes him the wrong way... he blows up like dynamite.

The water in a separate pot began to boil. Zoey poured the long noodles into the scorching hot water and stirred them in so they could cook.

"Jason, go set the table." Zoey said politely as she waited patiently for the noddles to get done. Jason gave her an odd look. He wasn't use to sitting at the table and eating, he has never done that in his life, even when he was younger.

"How do I do that?" Jason trailed his tongue along his lips. Zoey rolled her eyes playfully and smirked.

"Really Jason, all you do is put plates in front of each chair along with a napkin, and place a spoon, fork and knife on top with a glass cup beside it." Jason raised his eyebrows.

"I knew that, I'm not stupid." Jason said with a laugh.
