Him. [Jastin]

TWENTY

     Justin walked into the ball room with Leo as he looked around, for Jason.
     "Oh look, there's my friend Joseph, i'll be back in a bit babe" Leo said and walked towards his best friend, Justin thought this was the perfect opportunity to look for Jason.
     Justin glanced at Gabriel and walked towards the man, "hey" he said and Gabriel turned to him "oh hey man! What happened to your eye?" Gabriel asked, "ran into a pole.. Silly me, uh anyway have you seen Jason?" Justin asked and Gabriel shook his head "nope, Jason doesn't do these kind of parties" Gabriel said and Justin frowned.

     Justin turned around as he felt a tap on his shoulder, "care for a drink?" a waiter asked "I don't drink" Justin sighed. "That's why I made sure to get you a soda" the waiter took off his mask and winked.
     Justin's eyes widened as Jason smiled, "y-you came!" "hey, gotta keep my man happy" Jason smiled and Justin blushed.

     "I'm happy to see you Justin but I have a lot of questions to ask you" Jason said seriously as the man sighed, "okay but we can't be seen together by Leo or Zaira" Justin said and Jason pulled out another mask, "let's sit in the back" he said and Justin nodded before grabbing the mask and the boys walked towards the back of the room where it was quiet.

"After we uh kissed, why did you leave? Why where you dragged away?" Jason asked and Justin gulped, he knew Jason would find out the truth so he might as well tell.
"I-I'm engaged" Justin mumbled and Jason's eyes widened in shock, the man stood up from his seat "but it's forced!" Justin quickly added before Jason could leave.

Jason raised a brow in confusion, "how so?" "my mother over there.." Justin glanced at his mother and Jason's eyes followed Justin's. "She lost her job, our bank account is running low, everyday we lose at lease a thousand and my father still works but it's not enough to support us, so my mother introduced me to Leo last year."
Jason sat back down as he listened, "we where having a dinner party and my mom had eagerly rushed me towards Leo Montgomery, one of the richest men in the state.. Shit maybe even in the country, my mom was so eager to have us together and I didn't find any interest in him, I did find him attractive but his personality is different" Justin said and showed Jason his bruises.

"He did this, and he always makes me drink a lot then takes me home to 'make love to me' and the next day I don't even remember what happens," Justin mumbled as he looked down.
"Did you show your mom? How did you get the black eye?" Jason asked wide eyed, "when I show my mother the bruises it's like they're gone, she doesn't see anything but when I show other people.. They're there.. I don't understand.. and my mom gave me the black eye after Zaira had told her about me breaking the rules" Justin sighed.

"Zaira? Isn't she your friend?" Jason asked raising a brow and Justin sighed, "she likes you Jason" he said. Jason's jaw dropped and he looked around, the man wasn't surprised because he knew there had been some rumors about Zaira liking him but to find out they were true was a bit surprising, especially because Zaira is way too smart for him.

     "But I like you Justin, that doesn't matter," Jason said seriously and Justin wanted to badly to kiss the man. "What ever happened to 'romance is for losers', hm?" Justin raised a brow, "well you've made it pretty difficult to not like you Justin" Jason chuckled softly.

      "I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you about this sooner, I'm sorry you fell for me.. Especially with all the stuff happening with my family and I" Justin looked down ashamed. "Hey look, it's okay.. You'll get through it I swear, but what did your fiancé say after he made you leave?" Leo asked and Justin sighed, "he told me to never be near you again" Justin said sadly.
     "The guy can't control you, yeah he's your fiancé but he has no right to drag you around like a rag doll and leave bruises like this" Jason said holding Justin's arm as the man hissed in pain.

     "My mom won't let me leave him" Justin sniffled and Jason sighed before standing up, "come on" he said as Justin stood up and followed behind Jason.
Jason looked around and glanced at Leo talking to Jayda and Zaira talking to America before rushing into the men's room with Justin.

"Why are we--" Jason pressed his lips against Justin's, Justin's eyes widened as he stood in surprise but kissed back softly as Jason held Justin's waist, Justin wrapped his arms around Jason's neck and the man felt as if his heart skipped multiple beats.

"Where is Justin?" Jayda asked as Leo followed the woman, "I don't know, last time I saw him he was by the bar" Leo said and John walked towards his wife "find Justin please" Jayda ordered and her husband nodded before leaving.

Justin and Jason pulled away from each other, Justin smiled at the man and looked down, "Justin!" the younger man heard and Jason quickly went into one of the stalls as John walked in. "There you are! Your mother is looking for you" John said, "uh yeah I need to use the bathroom real quick then I'll be out" Justin said nervously and John nodded "fine okay" he said and left.

"Jase," Justin said and Jason stepped out of the stall, "you don't have to stay if you don't want to but after the ball, I will come to your place.. at twelve" Justin said and Jason smiled as he nodded.

Justin stepped out of the bathroom and glanced at Stormy, standing awkwardly by the bar and Justin smiled as he walked towards her, "hey!" he said and Stormy smiled "hi" she grinned. "You having fun?" Justin asked and Stormy shrugged as she held a glass of wine, "I just got here so" she trailed off and giggled.
"Come with me," Justin said leading Stormy towards his parents.

     "Stormy, you look eh- elegant?" Jayda was surprised with how classy Stormy was dressed, "thank you" Stormy smiled and Leo stood next to his fiancé.
     "Why don't we get out of here babe?" Leo whispered into Justin's ear, "u-uh lets go sit down! I'm starving" Justin said and everyone agreed before sitting down.

     Justin bit his lower lip to keep himself from smiling in excitement, the man had to admit. He's excited to be with Jason tonight.
