Hostage

Chapter 46 - Liar liar

Silence was the only thing heard within the car at that moment. Zoey was holding back her tears as she stared out of the window. Jason tried to talk to her a couple of times, but she rejected his words by blocking him out. Her index finger nail was lodged into her mouth as she chewed roughly on the end until it snapped and became detached from her body.

Frequent sobs would escape from her lips, but no words were ever spoken. A sigh emitted from Jason's mouth as he regretted everything that he did last night. He could feel Zoey's pain and sorrow and it was killing him inside knowing that he was the cause of it. He knew nothing could make her feel better, but he wasn't going to give up on trying.

"Zoe, do you want me to take you home? I'm sorry it ended up being this way, but it wasn't suppose to be like this. " Jason said as he gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Zoey's tears dried onto her cheeks and her sadness turned into anger. Her jaw clenched as she imagined Jason and Carter together, naked, alone and loving one another like her and Jason have done many times before.

"I just can't fucking believe you... It was one day and you already fucked someone else? God, I'm so stupid" Zoey raised her voice as she realized how naive she was.

"No, it wasn't like I wanted to... I didn't want to have sex with Carter, it just kinda happened. I was drunk and I walked her home and she came onto me first. The whole time I thought it was you and I was thinking of you... Don't you see that Zoe?"

Zoey rolled her eyes to the side and shook her head.
"You might have been thinking about me, but it was not me who you were having sex with...You cheated on me... again." Tears blurred her vision as she got her last word out along with a sob.

"I--I'm sorry Zoey, I don't know what else to do."
Jason put the car in its original spot his dad parked it in and came to a complete stop. It was silent and Zoey didn't budge out of her seat.

"Are you going to come inside? You can't sit out here all day. It's cold and  it's going to be dark soon." Jason said as he unbuckled his seat belt. He waited for Zoey to at least unbuckle her seat belt, but she sat in the same position. Before saying another word he waited a couple of minutes because she was going to ignore him anyways.

"C'mon Zoey, stop being like this. Come inside, Abby wants to see you." Jason said impatiently. He grew tired and annoyed, but didn't let it show. Zoey finally after a couple of seconds unbuckled her seat belt and slammed the car door and found her way inside.
Jason followed behind her slowly and watched her hips sway with an attitude of their own.

Jeremy and Abby were laying on the  couch and their attention focused on Jason and Zoey when they barged into the kitchen.

"Oh... You're back?! How'd it go?" Jeremy asked already knowing what the answer was going to be by how they were acting towards each other.

The door slammed shut and that said it all. Abby was asleep on her dad's shoulder. He slowly moved her in a comfortable position so he wouldn't wake her from her slumber.

"Is everything alright?" Jeremy asked as he stood in the rounded lengthy doorway to the kitchen that was connected to the living area.

Jason was sat down on the opposite side of Zoey with his hands tangled in his hair. As his dad spoke with him he looked up to face him.

"Yes, everything's fine."Jason said lying through his teeth. It was most definitely not fine. Zoey noticed that she was causing tension so she heaved an audible breath and curved a slight smile onto her lips.

"I'm fine, everything's fine, I'm just a little tired from the flight down here." Zoey said moving her hair out of her eyes.

Jeremy didn't believe her for a second, he knew what was up and was not born yesterday.
