My Savior { jastin }

Chapter 17

Justin

Jason was still downstairs. He's been down there for about two hours.

I grew restless and stood up, yawning.

Since I knew I wasn't supposed to go down there I looked around bored. What to do? What to do? I sighed and plopped back on the bed. Nothing.

I looked down at my wrists and shook my head, feeling stupid. Why would I do that? So many wrong things come from self-harming. The ugly scars you have to live with. The sympathetic looks you always get from people. And what about whenever I have kids and they ask where the scars came from.

I shook my head, pulling the sleeve down and stranding up.

I cracked open the door and I couldn't hear any voices so I shrugged and walked to the top of the stairs.

It was only Jason sitting on the couch. His head buried in his hands. I don't know where the gang went off to...

"Jason?" I asked, catching his attention. He turned to look at me and sighed.

"Sorry for not coming back up." He mumbled and I shook my head, not really bothered by the fact he stayed downstairs.

"What's wrong?" I asked softly once I noticed his stressed look, a little bit of a worried look too.

"Come here Jay." He said, patting the spot next to him. I listened and walked quietly next to him.

"You know why we're here right?" I nodded my head and looked at him weirdly. He shook his head and sighed while mumbling what sounded like an I can't.  

"I'm sorry Justin. I really am sorry." He said and looked at me genuinely.

"What are you sorry for?" I asked softly, tilting my head to the side and he chuckled, like he was mocking me almost.

"You do realize that if you're in any way, with me, you're automatically in danger." Well no duh.

"I know that." I nodded and he shook his head.

"You're something else boo." Before he pulled me into his side and ran his long fingers through my hair comfortingly.

Jason

"No!" I yelled and he sighed.

"What am I doing wrong then?" He sassed and I grabbed the gun from him.

"You're really going to shoot someone like this?" I growled and demonstrated how dumb he looked a while ago holding the gun.

"No you idiot, you wouldn't." I shoved the gun back to his chest and walked to Bruce and Charlie.

"You're going a bit hard on them Jason." Charlie sighed while looking at the gang. They were practicing, going over the plans, strategies. Over 20 members were here now and they were going to get this down.

"I don't care." I growled and watched them.

They're practicing to perfection. I don't need any screw ups because Justin's life is on the line. The mafia is sick. And I mean sick. And no way am I letting them get a hold of Justin... or the the rest of the family for that matter. Not happening.

I laid back on the bed and rested my sore back. I think Justin was downstairs talking with Ryan and Bruce. I'm glad he's getting on with someone besides me. He needs friends. He deserves friends.

I closed my eyes, starting to drift off to sleep. I definitely needed some sleep. I was dead tired, so I left myself go. My eyes closing slowly.

I woke up only about 20 minutes later when I felt someone sit on the bed, my eyes coming open as I looked at an innocent Justin.

"Hey." Justin said quietly and I smiled at him.

"Hey." I whispered and he crawled next to me on the bed.

"They look tired." He mumbled after a moment of silence, referring to the members outside. I shrugged and turned to look at him.

"You were being mean today though." He said with a smirk and I smiled.

"I was being mean and pushy because your safety is the only thing that matters right now." He blushed and I chuckled, kissing him slightly.

I gave him a few pecks before starting to tickle his sides, causing him to squeal slightly.

I flipped us over so I'd have a better chance of getting to his ticklish spots. I find it adorable how he giggles. He doesn't laugh or chuckle, he giggles and it's adorable. I had one hand on his waist while my other touched the side of his face, my tickling stopping.

"What do you have to do tomorrow?" He breathed while I kissed down his neck, chuckling slightly as he tried to regain his breathe from giggling so much.

"Have to go to test out some equipment." I mumbled and sucked below his ear causing his breathe to hitch. Bingo. 

I went back to his lips and gave him soft peck before smiling at him. "I love you." I breathed, poking at his side lightly.

"I love you too Jase."
