Chapter 4: Jason's soft side





JESS'S P.O.V
After a few minutes of running, we were deep in the forest. We came to a stop and Jason looked around. "We'll have to stay here."
"WHAT?! IM NOT STAYING IN A DAMN FOREST!" Sure, let's stay in a deep, dark forest in the middle of the night where you can't see anything. I was about ready to drop dead. "Calm down babe!" Johnson smiled at me as he gathered a bundle of wood and placed it in the middle of an opening surrounded by big trees. I watched as he started to make a fire. I sighed, walking over to one of the big trees and sat down on the root. I picked up small sticks on the ground and started playing with them. I wish I could've run away, except, I couldn't see a thing...

JASON'S P.O.V
I sat down near the fire. "That girl you kidnapped... what's her story?" I looked up at Johnson. "She's stubborn. She won't do anything you tell her to do." I looked down and drew in the dirt with my finger. I peeked over at Jess. I sighed and looked down. "Oh Jason... you like her don't you?"
"WHAT?! NO! HELL NO!" Although, I did wanna go over there to see if she was alright. Johnson gave me a smile. "SHUT UP JOHNSON!"
"I didn't say anything!"
"I swear I'll shoot you in the head!" I stood up in anger. "Awwwwww Jason wants to go say hello to her!" I rolled my eyes and walked over to Jason. I watched her as she was picking up some sticks and playing with them. I sighed and sat next to her.

"Hey." She looked at me with red, puffy eyes. I licked my lips and put my head down. "What the hell do you want Jason..." I looked at her, getting lost in her eyes. "I uh... I wanted to say..." She looked at me wiping the remaining tears from her eyes. I put my head down and whispered. "I wanted to say sorry....."
"Wait... what did you just say...?"
"I'm sorry for hitting you... and treating you like a dog..." She looked at me with a surprised expression.
"Say that again"
"I said I'm sorry... and I mean it..."
"I guess it's okay..." I didn't know what to say next. I looked at her arms and saw goosebumps. "You look cold..." She looked at me. "I am a bit..." I sighed and took off my jacket. I wrapped it around her and she snuggled up.

"Why are you being so nice to me now?" I didn't know what to say. I looked over at Johnson who was giving me kissy looks, pecking his lips kissing the air. I rolled my eyes and looked back at Jess. "I guess I just... felt bad and-"
"But you're a criminal. They don't care about anyone."
"I don't care about anyone"
"Then why care about me?" I was speechless. I looked down. What was I gonna say? "um... is your jaw ok...?" I watched Jess as she stroked her jaw. "It hurts so much..." I put my hand on it and stroked it. I saw her smile a little. "Why don't you come over and sit at the fire? You can come get warmer. It's cold out here..." I stood up, holding out my hand to her. She grabbed it and I helped her up. I walked with her back over to the fire.

JESS'S P.O.V
I didn't get it. I don't know why Jason was being so nice to me. I sat next to him around the fire, trying to get warm. I looked up and saw Johnson give Jason the 'get in there' look and I saw Jason give back the 'shut the hell up before I kill you' look. I looked down. "Why are you doing what you do Jason? like, why are you bombing and preying on innocent lives?" I looked at him and he looked back. Jason sighed. "They killed my brother..."
"Who?" Jason looked down and didn't say anything. I looked at Johnson who shrugged at me. "Jason...?" He sighed and laid down. I saw Johnson mouth something at me.

"What...?" He started doing sign language. He pointed at Jason, did the love heart with his hand and pointed at me. Wait. Jason loves me?! Nah. That couldn't work. I put Jason's jacket back on him. I saw him snuggle up, closing his eyes. "Can I lie next to you Jason...?" I saw him nod. I lied next to him and closed my eyes. Time to get a goodnight sleep and see what tomorrow would bring. Plus, what did Jason mean about someone killing his brother? Who was his brother? Why all of a sudden was he being so nice to me...
