The Invisible Girl

Chapter 20

JASONS POV

"Jason, don't leave me!" Hailey cried out as we got to the car.

"I'm not." I chuckled. "I'm taking you back to mine."

I loved how vulnerable how she was right now. She was looking at me with wide eyes which were full of wonder. Ergh, Jason- when did you get like this?

I shook my head free of all stupid thoughts and unlocked the door, swinging it open and placing Hailey inside.

"Go to sleep." I murmured as I did her seat belt up.

"Promise to look after me Jason."

"Lee, you're drunk..." I sighed standing up from the car. Not for long though, Hailey pulled me back down by the collar.

"Promise me Jason, you'll always be there when I need you, I'm so alone Jason.." she began sobbing again.

I could tell the alcohol had really taken its full effect on her. She'd done the happy stage, angry stage and now she was onto depression. Hopefully, the next stage should be crash out.

As I predicted, by the time I'd got myself in the car she was contently snoring next to me in the passenger seat. What even happened tonight, somehow I'd managed to completely sober up.

I pulled out a cigarette and rolled the window down a crack to let the smoke out the car as we drove along. My mind was racing all kinds of crazy thoughts.

I was going to tell her...

I needed to tell her how I feel before it's too late- before Justin completely ruins her.

I've watched him emotion destroy the poor girl ever since I've arrived at the school. For some fucked up reason, she thinks he is god's gift but he doesn't even appreciate her.

I was going to tell her I love her.

Me, Jason McCann, loving Hailey Carmichael.

Crazy, I know.

I've been tormented by the gang for as long as I can remember how I'm incapable of feeling ever since my dad died. Somehow, Hailey had turned me soft. I had so many feelings running through my body that it was overwhelming me.

It was settled, in the morning when she was completely sober and I had medicated her hangover (which she was obviously going to get from the amount of alcohol she consumed tonight) I was going to ask her to be my girlfriend.

"Hailey, will you be my girlfriend." I whispered out loud as if I was rehearsing it.

My head snapped towards Hailey when she started shifting in her sleep.
