Catalina's POV

I searched and searched the house but I did not find James anywhere. Where is he? Why did he even want to talk to me about?

I decided to go upstairs as I was passing Jason's room I heard Vanessa's giggle. Of course my nosy self decided to peek through the crack of the door and I see that Jason and Vanessa were both cuddling in bed. Ouch. That hurt me. I wish I could just unlike him. I'm still confused on why he kissed me if he had a girlfriend. Before I knew it , I saw Jason grab her face and smashed his lips into hers and it turned into a make-out session. Okay and that killed me. I hated seeing that so I decided to go back downstairs and go to the backyard I sat on the grass and tried to clear my mind for a bit.

"Hey." I jumped hearing that and turned around seeing James standing above me.
"Scared ya?"

"Yes you did, I was looking for you by the way I wanted to know what you wanted to talk to me about." I told him.

He sat next to me on the grass and pulled out a blunt and lit it up and started inhaling and exhaling smoke. I just remembered I haven't smoked since Jason took me.

"Care to share?" I asked while my hand was out.
James looked at me with a shocked look.

"Whaaaat? You? Smoke? Naaah." He said

"Yeah haha, nobody really knew I would get in deep trouble for it." I told him. He just nodded his head and passed me the blunt. I inhaled and held it there for a couple seconds , then exhaled and smiled. Damn, this felt good I needed this , I gave it back to him.

"Okay, talk. What did you want too tell me?"

He sighed. "Catalina, You can't get out the house at all toll we figure something out." All I did was give him a confused look.

"You're in danger Catalina, we got an envelope and its full of pictures of you walking around town. The person that sent it is out too get you."

I stayed quiet. I should've thought to myself something like this would happen. Then I nodded my head and gave him an 'okay' .. i'll admit i'm scared, somebody following you around is creepy.

James looked at me and smiled.
"Woah, that's a first." I jokingly said.
His smile faded quickly and laughed. "You're not bad Catalina, you're a good as person. Even though it's just been a week, the gang trusts you, Jason will be staying here with you. You need someone to keep you safe while you're here."

My heart started beating faster when he said 'Jason' .
"Um, okay." I said quickly.
He nodded his head and walked away.

I laid on the grass and put both hands on the side of my face. What if Vanessa is going to be here while he stays? You can already tell she doesn't like me. This is gonna be a long stay. I was still a bit hurt about everything that has been happening, My dad dying and when I was trying to go to school one morning thinking it would be a normal day till Jason decided to pull that stupid prank on me then decided he should actually do it, which I still don't understand why. I told him I wasn't going to tell anybody. what an asshole.

But, how am I going to get an education now? I need a damn future, i'm not going to just stay here my whole life. I sighed in frustration deciding to go inside.

As I walked in I saw Vanessa pouring a glass of water in the kitchen. All she did was glare at me. I decided to just walk away but then she stopped me.
"Hey, I heard you came with Jason, is there something going on between you guys?" she raised an eyebrow.

"Nah, just a friend I guess, now if you don't mind I need to go to my room." I said walking away.

I heard her mumble 'bitch' . But, I decided to just keep walking.
