Chapter 5

Jaz POV

I hear them calling my name telling me to come back, but I had already pushed away, I felt Cassie's hand grazing my arm, trying to catch me, but she wasn't that fast.

I don't know why they were this worried it was only a jump.

The feel of the air all around me, made me block all of the other sounds. It made me feel free with nothing to worry about.

I always had wondered how did the birds and butterfly felt when they were high above the ground, and now I know it feels so damn good.

Suddenly arms wrapped around me , "Hold your breath" , I did keeping my eyes shut as we broke the surface, whoever was the one to hold me, made the break while I was tucked safely in his arms.

After the moment of shock I opened my eyes to see Troy , his eyes asked if I was okay, I nodded, sure the water was cold, after all it was December, but I didn't feel that cold as Troy's body was wrapped around me, keeping me warm.

We broke through the surface , me still wrapped in Troy, as soon as we broke we heard hurrying footsteps moments later I was pulled from the water teeth shattering, at the deference in temperature. Almost instantly I was wrapped with a dry towel then my daddy's arms.

"Don't you ever scare me like that again, princess. You aged me ten years in that jump of yours". My daddy's voice was shaken , scared was my guess.

He lifted his head from the crook of my neck just as I felt a smaller lighter body hugging me from behind, and my mother's scent of strawberries and coconut engulfed me, making me feel safe and protected.

"Thanks son for protecting my baby" dad was so sincere even without looking at his face I can hear it in his voice.

I turned in my parents' arms, I saw Troy with what was a dry towel around him, suddenly my teeth began shattering, it was then I realized how cold I really was, my mother quickly me to the house and up the stairs to my room and directly in the bathroom

"Baby you will take a hot shower, then you'll have a cup of hot chocolate to warm you up" my mother's voice was like warm honey, so smooth and sweet it made me realize how much I had missed her motherly ways.

"Okay mama" I gave her a sloppy kiss on the cheek before she went out of the door.

Fifteen minutes later I was tucked in my queen sized bed my back resting against the head bored with my guitar, it was my favorite it was black with colored jeweled stars all over, in pink,, yellow , baby blue and purple, my name engraved in cursive at the back dad had it custom made for my 12th birthday. It had been with me ever since and I rarely parted with it, I almost always have it with me when I go out.

There was a knock on the door " come in" the guys all came in minus Troy, "where is Troy?, did you eat him or what?" I joked

"Oh, the faith you have in us Jaz, you break my heart with harsh words" Max cried putting a hand on his heart too.

" Oh how dramatic you are my dear friend I was only asking about what I knew as a fact" I cried in my British accent just to go with the dramatics.

We all exploded in laughter Liam was kneeling holding his stomach from laughing too hard. Max was face down on the end of my bed trying to stifle his gwaffing, Dan looked like an earthquake trying to hold the laughs turning slightly red in the face while Sam and I were laughing carelessly me held in his arms sharing his body heat.

"Oh kids you all are crazy" that was mom, she was standing by the door holding a tray on it were glasses filled with steaming hot chocolate and there was also a bowl filled with mini marshmallows on the tray.
