"The girl that broke my heart and the guy that she picked over me... to what do I owe this displeasureable visit?" Jason said as they walked into his room. He closed and locked the door behind them.
She had never been in his bedroom before. There weren't posters or even a TV, but there were different awards he had won covering the walls, and a desk with a laptop closed on it with a few papers sat on top. His room was overly clean, neat, and tidy. Bed sheets were pressed and folded on his bed; no clothes were on the floor. Everything was in its rightful place.
He walked over to his desk, pulling out the chair, taking a seat while watching them closely. "Cut the crap, Jason. You better leave Emma alone," Blake said, pointing at him, making Jason raise a brow.
He looked rather confused. "What are you talking about? I haven't seen Emma in weeks." If he was lying, he was a very good actor because he genuinely didn't seem to know what they were talking about.
Blake let out a fake laugh while crossing his arms. "Yeah, right. Stop stalking her and leave her alone before we take this to the police." Jason's eyes widened while standing up.
"Stalking her... Emma, what is all this about? You have a stalker?" He looked at her concerned, despite Blake's annoyance. Emma took the newspaper clipping out of her pocket, holding it up to show him. "Are you telling me you didn't send this to me?" He walked closer, taking the paper from her hand, eyes looking over it.
Shaking his head, he handed it back.
"I promise to you, I had nothing to do with this." Blake poked a finger against his chest, making him take a step back. "Emma told me you were mad when she broke up with her. Your own dad said you were devastated. Maybe you were mad enough to do something like this." Jason glared at him before looking back at her.
He pressed his lips while looking down. "I'll admit, I was crushed when you broke up with me. Who wouldn't be? But I would never do something like this to you. I swear, Emma, this wasn't me."
A chill ran through her body. She wasn't sure if he was being truthful or not. Just as easily as he could be lying, he could just as easily be telling the truth.
"If you didn't do anything wrong, why would you let us come up here so easily?" Blake asked, making Jason let out a snort before walking back over to his desk. He sat back down, shrugging his shoulders.
"If you're going to talk shit about me, I'd rather it be in here than out there in front of my father. But don't misunderstand, I haven't done anything to her since we broke up." They were never actually together, but Emma decided not to mention it now.
She put the newspaper back into her pocket. "Maybe it's just someone pulling a prank or something," Jason said nonchalantly while shrugging his shoulders.
Blake walked over to him, grabbing him by the front of his shirt, pulling him up off the chair forcefully, surprising both her and Jason. The action made her gasp.
"You think this is a game? Some kinda joke to you!?" he said, grinding his teeth together. Jason looked at him fearful. Blake slightly shook his body around. "Her life isn't some joke... not to me."
Emma put a hand on his arm, making him look down at her. "Let him go, Blake." The last thing she wanted was Blake to get in trouble because of her. He let out a breath before slowly unclenching his fingers around Jason's shirt, making his body fall back into the chair.
Her mind was racing while looking at the ground. Was it really not Jason who left the letter? She looked up, looking in his eye.
"Was it really not you?" Her voice was soft, watching as he shook his head.
"No, I didn't do it... I swear." Tears started to well in her eyes as she looked up at Blake, his expression shocked. It was as if he suddenly realized Jason was possibly telling the truth.
"If it wasn't Jason..." he whispered. A tear rolled down her cheek.
"Then... who was it?" she said, finishing his sentence. They all looked between each other in silence.
"Worst. Christmas. Eve. Ever," Jason whispered, rubbing both hands down his face at a loss of words.
