Jason McCann

CHAPTER FORTY

JORDAN'S POV

I laid my clutch on the counter and looked around my house, searching for any sign of my dad. He wasn't home, again. Great.

I motioned for Tristan to come inside. I then ran to my room and stripped out of my dress and into some sweats and a cropped sweater. Flopping down on my bed, I started to think about Jason again.

I don't know what I feel for him. I mean, yeah, I like him. It's just really confusing right now.

I know I shouldn't say this, but I just want to be with him right now. I want him here with me, not Tristan. Yes, Tristan is a great person and has feelings for me, but I don't love him.

It's hard to explain.

I sighed into the darkness as I hear Tristan coming into my room.

"I'm gonna go to the restroom, okay?"

I nodded and smiled as he left my room, but it soon faded.

I gasped when I realized that I wasn't the only one in my bedroom. "Jason?"

"Jordan, Max is hurt. He's alright now, but I just thought I'd let you know.." He came out of the shadows and the moonlight from the window shined on his face.

I sat up. "What are you really doing here, Jason?"

He sighed and sat next to me, looking at every detail of my face. "I came to tell you what you mean to me."

"What?"

His hand caressed my cheek as he stared into my eyes. "I started out stalking you, thinking you were Jessica. I thought she was living undercover. I noticed how different you were. The way you talk, the way you dressed, and the way you straightened your hair instead of curling it." He chuckled. "The whole time I thought I was falling deeper and deeper for Jessica. Then, after I kidnapped you, I realized I wasn't falling for her. I was falling for you. Every time I felt the slightest bit of butterflies, I did something to make you think I wasn't in love with you. I hit you, and it hurt like hell when I had to knock you out. When I kissed you for the first time, I just needed something to take my mind off of Jessica. But then I realized I was in love with you. So, I kissed you again to make sure it was real, and it was. Ever since then I've been head over heels for you, Jordan. And when I saw you tonight, I knew I made the worst mistake of my life."

I was speechless. Hearing every word come out of his mouth only made my heart beat faster.

"I love you, and I want you to be my girlfriend..." He took my hand in his.

Suddenly, at the word "girlfriend" my world stopped spinning. Uh oh.
