Blessed With A Curse

Chapter5

Jasey's POV.

I walked back to the party putting a fake smile on my face. I walked back over to where Livie was. Her and Jona were wrapped up in each others arms, it was the first time in a long time I saw her happy. She looked at me questionly I shrugged it off and sat back down next to Matt who was now in a conversation with Mike Fuentes and Tony Perry from Pierce the Veil.

I smiled at them all and leaned into Matt as he put his arms around me. I watched everyone around me as I blanked out remembering my past.

--FLASHBACK--

I sat on the couch blasting my music and doing homework. Mom was cooking int he kitchen, humming to herself. The doorbell rang, mom walked past me smiling on the way to the door. I heard mummbling then mom started crying. I quickly got up and ran to her, I looked to see two men in uniform standing at my door. I put the pieces together and my mom and I broke down in each others arms.

That was in September. The day I found out my brother was killed in a roadside bombing. He was my hero, my best friend. His dream was to always going out and fighting for our country. He died doing what he loved.

Later that night mom finally got to sleep after hours of crying and calling relatives. I sat in my bedroom and pulled out my phone fowling the one number of someone I knew could always help me.

"The number you have reached is no longer in service." The voice said. I froze. Oli changed his number and didn't tell me, I knew he got signed and lately he's been busy but I never thought he'd change his number without telling me. For months after that I waited for his call. It never came, I sat waiting for the boy who stole my heart to call me and tell me everything was going to be alright. But the call never came and eventually I let go of him and the memories.

--FLASHBACK OVER--

Seeing Oli made all those memories that I held away come back out again. Kissing him still had the same fireworks as it did when I was sixteen. When he held me I felt safe again, and that all the anger and hatred that I had bottled up just melted away. I snapped out of my thoughts by seeing Matt trying to talk to me.

"Hey it's getting late. Livie is coming back to our bus, do you want to come? Or is there something with you and Oli?" Matt asked smiling at me. I smiled back and shook my head getting up and pulling him with me.

"I'll stay with you" I said happily. He grinned and slipped his hand into mine walking us back to the bus. I could hear talking and laughing from inside the bus before we even walked in. As soon as we walked in the talking stop and I felt Oli's glare in the side if my head. "Can I borrow some of your clothes? I don't have anything." I asked looking up at Matt. He nodded and led me to the back room, I watched him go through his suit case. He handed me a pair of boxers and a shirt then pointed out the bathroom. I changed quickly and made my way back to the front room. I noticed there weren't any seats left so I plopped down in Matt's lap. His arms wrapped around my waist and I leaned back into him.

"So what's your name?" I turned to see a boy, I think his name was Lee ask me.

"I'm Jasey." I replied happily. We talked with the band for awhile before I grabbed Matt's hand and dragged him into the back of the bus where the bunks were. Matt climbed in first then letter next to him. I got in and he pulled me close, looking into each others eyes I felt happy. Without thinking I pressed my lips to his. We didn't go any futhur, just spent the night enjoying being with each other.
