Perilous ! (A Jason McCann Love Story) Under New Construction

Chapter Fifteen : "Jack...Jack...Bennit"

*Ashton's P.O.V*

"...Heeyy mom!" i hunch up my shoulders and wave awkwardly . 

"I haven't seen you in ages and all you say is 'Hey mom'?" she squints her eyes into little slits as she looked me up and down , a stern tone added to her voice "And what an earth are you wearing?" i had changed earlier on in the other store where i bought my clothes from . I was wearing a white baggy see through shirt that cut off on my belly button and some black trousers . 

"Clothes...." i snapped as there was a long pause that fell between us as i looked down at what i was wearing . 

"Your not a prostitute are you?" her eyes widened to large O's as she gawped at me with worry . 

"Christ all mighty mom , no!" i shouted to the top of my lungs . 

"Then where on earth have you been all this time? Me and your farther have been worried sick! I thought .... we thought ....everyone thought you died in the bombing . What happened ?" my heart jumped up into my throat as my moms and dads eyes started to well up with tears . 

"I got out ... ran away ...so i didn't get killed" i tried to come up with a believable excuse that hopefully the both of them would buy . 

"Then why didn't you come back for so long?" mom grabbed my arm and pulled me into her chest , hugging me tightly . "Are you hurt? Any broken bones?" and she stroked down my hair lightly . My mind instantly flashed an image of my hip with the huge bite mark in it and i shot my hand up to my waist . 

"N-no , i'm fine" i stuttered as i let go of the rib breaking hug . My mom has never been so concerned about me before . She never use to pay attention to me at all . I remember years ago when i fell off my bike because i was just getting use to stabilizers , i fell off and my mom and dad sat there and laughed at me , they didn't even run to the first aid box to get my favourite daisy band aids . 

"Why are there cuts all over your face then Ash ? Let's get you home and cleaned up!" and mom grabbed hold of my wrist , trying to drag me out of the shop . 

"No!" i spat as i struggled in her grip and tugged my wrist away from her . "I can't go home , mom" i drifted off my words slowly as she stormed back up to me . 

"Ashton Raye Collins!" my mom pounded in my face . "You are co--"

"Hey babe , how about this?" just at the wrong moment Jason staggered up to me holding a V neck that said : 

Doing Real Stuff Sucks 

I shot around to see him dancing around with the jumper in his hand as if he was drunk  . He's such an idiot at times , i stared at him with aggression as if to send him mind waves , ordering him to stop . If looks could kill he'd drop dead right now . 

"Woah babe , what's the matter?" and he put his arm around me and i flicked it away like it was some pesky insect that had landed on my shoulder .
