Secret Love

It ain't over

Jason's pov

They finally let me out. "You're coming to my house until he's locked up." My sweet girlfriend says. "I've got to get a few things from my house first." She goes to her house and I go to mine. I shakily open the door. "D-Dad, I'm home." Nothing. Maybe I'm in the clear. But as soon as I close the door, I hear something shocking. The click of a gun. My whole body freezes. "D-Dad is that you?" No reply. "Turn around boy." Yep it's dad. I turn around and he stands by the door with a gun in his hand. "So you're gonna shoot me now?" I ask, raising a brow. He smiles. "Why would I shoot my own son?" He says, sarcastically. "Look." He points to the window. I look over and tense up in fear and shock. The gun is pointed at the window at the perfect vantage point where Miranda is taking to her dad. "Dad, don't you dare." I shout furious. "You make too many mistakes." He says. I stand in front of the window, blocking the aim but he grabs my shirt throwing me out of the way. "Put the gun down! Don't shoot her!!!"

Miranda's pov

I hear Jason scream. Crap!! I race out the door and to his house nearly kicking the door down. Jason's crying on the floor. He looks up. "Oh thank God! I thought you were dead!" He cries, standing up. "What are you talking about?" I gape. His dad lowers a gun. "Well that didn't go according to plan." He says. "Plan? What plan?" Me and Jason lock eyes. "Oh no! Your dad!" He screams, grabbing my hand and we run put the door. "I heard him scream and I thought it was cause you got shot but I think he got shot!" Jason opens the door and I shakily walk in, breathing a relieved sigh when my dad isn't shot. He's holding his chest and staring at the bullet hole in the couch. "Oh thank God Dad, I thought you got shot!" I whimper about to run over but Jason puts a hand on my shoulder. "What are you-" "My dad still has a gun pointed at your window. And you're his target." He says, his voice shaking. He grips his throat and coughs again. "Sir back out of the way of the window slowly." He nods and backs up. I run behind the couch into his arms. "I'm so glad you're okay!" I whimper. "I am calling the cops." Dad says. Jason walks behind the couch. "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault!" "What? No it isn't!" I gape. I shake my head and hug him tightly. We can hear the curses his dad is shouting while he gets arrested. "Now I'm going to get my guitar and song books if you don't mind." He bows and leaves. I roll my eyes and ten seconds later, I hear him scream bloody murder. I race over there.

Jason's pov

I hit my knees in horror. "Th-They're gone." I mumble, shocked. Miranda must've heard me scream because she's standing beside me seconds later. "Oh man." She whispers, covering her mouth. "I don't know why my dad hates me so much." I whisper, closing my eyes. My father burned my song books and cut the strings on all the guitars I have. Even the one mom gave me. Everything. It's all gone. "Now what am I gonna do?" "You can still be a singer, Jason. You'll still be great!" "B-But all m-my songs are g-gone." She gets on her knees beside me. "It's ruined." "That doesn't mean you can't still make it." I bang my fist on the ground in rage. "Why does he have to ruin everything in my life?" She puts her hand on mine. "Not everything." My eyes go wide. She's right. He can't ruin everything because nothing can ruin what we have. I turn to face her and we kiss, my hands landing on her shoulders. Instantly I wrap my arms around her back and pull her close to me. "Nothing can ruin what we have." She says, reading my mind. I pick her up and carry her to my bed. I toss the broken guitar off the bed.

*after*

My chest feels a million times lighter. "Jason, you can still be a singer. You just have to write new ones." "I know. I don't know why I thought it was ruined." "Yeah and my dad has his guitar. I know he'll let you borrow it." "You really think so?" She sits up, looking me in the eyes. "Jason, I don't know if you realize, my dad loves you like his own. He's so much happier when you're at our house so he knows your safe." I smile and kiss her head. "I love you." I say. "I love you more." She was kissing my neck when she laughed. "There. Now everyone will know you're my man." I stare at her confused. "What are you-" My hand flies to my neck. That damn girl gave me a hickey! "You're kidding me!" She laughs again. "I'm just returning the favor." She says, shrugging. Oh whatever. I don't really care. I just cover it with my collar. "Your dad's probably wondering where in the hell we are." She smiles and holds my hand. "You ain't mad?" I shake my head. "Payback's a bitch." She laughs again. We get to her front door but before we go in, I put a hand against her cheek and kiss her long and passionately. "There you two are!" Her dad says opening the door. "Dinner's ready Andi set up the guest room." Me and Miranda both look at each other and laugh. He knows I won't be sleeping in the guest bedroom. He rolls his eyes and shakes his head. "Why do I even bother? Come on lovebirds." Hm, Luke called us that too. As we walk in, my eyes stay glued to her. I am definitely her lover and so glad to be.
