* TRIGGER WARNING *

jupiter.

i sighed as i lightly brushed my finger across one of my nails. i guess they're dry now.

pressing my hands against the bed, i lifted myself up. stopping abruptly, i let out a whimper as i felt a sharp pain in my stomach. i placed a hand on my stomach, taking a deep breath before walking into the bathroom. i looked into the mirror, taking a deep breath.

"just don't look at him. ignore him and avoid him and everything will be okay."

i smiled, trying to reassure myself. but, it wasn't really helping.

grabbing the bottle of moisturizer, i squirted some onto my hands and applied it to my hair. lord, it was extremely dry. once my hair was evenly applied with moisturizer, i walked out of the bathroom. i jumped when i saw jason sitting on the bed. he looked me up and down.

"come here."

i pulled up my leggings and walked towards jason. he pulled me between his legs, wrapping his arms around me.

"don't try anything stupid tonight. i was easy on you this time, but if you try it again you better hope you don't get caught."

i swallowed the lump in my throat. "o-okay."

he looked up at me, resting his chin on my stomach. "let's go. people are starting to arrive."

jason let go of me and i took a few steps back. he stood up and grabbed my hand, pulling me downstairs.

as we reached the end of the staircase, i looked all around. there were way more people here than when i went upstairs. there was also music playing, not very loudly but it was a pretty decent volume.

jason laced his fingers through mine and pulled me into the kitchen. he grabbed a cup and filled it with juice before handing it to me. he grabbed a cup for himself before leaning against the counter, wrapping an arm around my waist.

i stared at the watch on his wrist as someone who i didn't recognize approached us.

"wassup jason."

jason lifted his head from my shoulder. "what's going on kid?"

the guy chuckled. "nothing really. i see you've finally found you somebody."

he looked at me sending me a small smile and a wink. i blushed and looked down.

i heard jason chuckle, but i could tell he was jealous because of the way his grip tightened on me. cute.

"i'm mark by the way."

i looked up and sent him a small smile. "i'm jupiter, nice to meet you."

jason's grip tightened more, if that was possible. and, i guess mark saw this.

"i'm going to go mingle."

he walked away with a chuckle. i placed one of my hands over jason's, making him loosen his grip some. he looked at me before smirking.

"what?" i furrowed my eyebrows.

he licked his lips before shaking his head. "nothing."

i faced forward as more people started coming up to jason. after about the tenth person i was beginning to grow bored and uncomfortable.

i looked up at jason. "can i go find ashlyn?"

he looked at me skeptically before nodding his head. i walked away as yet another person came up to him.
