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

Chapter Twenty Two : "Right Here , Ok?"

*Ashton's P.O.V*

 

"I'm nervous" i muttered in the passenger seat of Freddi's new state of the art car . Playing with my thumbs as my freshly washed hair fell around my face .

"Me too" he coughed as he lit a cigarette as he leaned over the stirring wheel , just how Jason would if he ever lit one up in a car while driving , i guess they do have something in common . I watched him as he flicked the liter and out shot the wriggling flame . As he steered with his elbows, he held the lit liter over the end of the cigarette, patiently waiting for it to burn . He then pushed down the button under the window , to roll it down and hung his arm out with the lit cig in his hand .

After a while of observing his every deep drag , i spoke my thoughts "Why are you nervous?" i coughed awkwardly as i scattered my eyes over his every move . I leaned my elbow on the arm rest located just under the window , massaging my temple.

"I'm pretty sure your parents trusted me to keep my eye on you , now that their going to find out that i work for Jas-- . You know who" he coughed , setting himself back from saying his name , as if he had just almost stepped off the edge off a cliff . The name i do not , repeat not , want to hear ever again for as long as i possibly can . Freddi tightened his grip around the stirring wheel as he swerved the cigarette around in his mouth . "They'll kill me as well as you Ash" he faked a smirk as we turned down a well known lane .

We were now coming up to a park where me and Freddi use to play when we were kids . We slowly drove by watching all the little kids playing, so innocently on the swings and slides . We stared deeply at them as if we were looking at our own past . When the sight of the park had passed the last car window i sat straight in my seat again . My thoughts instantly shot back to reality and my heart sunk all over again .

"What if they don't have to know?" i slowly shifted my gaze to Freddi who was still puffing on his cigarette . "That you worked for him" i made my question clearer as Freddi gave me a once over in confusion .

"Well i mean , yeah but ... it's kind of a big thing not to tell them ... after everything , you know ?" he shifted into 3rd gear as he looked at me in caution .

"Just say you found me on your doorstep ..... you took me in ..... and now we're here!" i slowly sat up straighter as my idea sounded great , well in my head anyway .

"You wanna lie to the police?" Freddi chuckled "As well as your parents?!" his laugh got louder as he leaned back in his seat , taking the cigarette out of his mouth and leaning his arm out of the window again .

"Police?" I screamed , shooting up and out of my seat . Balancing my butt on the edge and sticking my forehead to the dashboard "You said nothing about the police?" i panicked as I lifted my head up slightly , squinting at him in fear .
