Perilous ! (A Jason McCann Love Story) Under New Construction

Chapter Thirty Six : "She's Not Safe Anywhere"

*Jason's P.O.V*

Brushing my hand gently across her face I watched as her eyes flicker behind her eyelids . She doesn't deserve this , a life with a killer who can be the cause of her death . A life with dangers to the point where my hands are tied , the point where I can't do much more to protect her . Releasing a heavy sigh , I removed my hand from her face and ran it firmly through my hair , grabbing forcefully at the ends .

Pacing around the room , I licked my lips as I searched for a solution to all this mess . Even though I had gotten rid of Charlie , I still knew there were certain problems that couldn't be fixed . At least not in my power anyway .

A knock on the bedroom door polished through the air as I turned around to watch it open . "You can't watch her rest all night" smirked Mason as he steadily entered the room . Grabbing a chair from under the computer desk he twisted it in his grasp and straddled over it , pouching himself beside me . "You need your rest too man" he nudged me suggestively in the ribs .

"Last time I left her alone she almost got killed" I sighed before sitting back down from my pacing state . "I'm not leaving" I softly spoke with a breath of guilt as I slipped my hand in hers. Her skin was like a winters morning , brushing my thumb over her knuckles , I imagined her knuckles were mountains , covered in snow . As I brushed them , I sprinkled away the white grains . Surprisingly this did warm her hands up , despite all the comforters she had wrapped around her .

"She's safe here" Mason nodded in persuasion , patting my back in reasurrance . I looked up at him as he discarded his hand from my back , noticing how it was rising up and down in heavy breaths .

"She's not safe anywhere!" I growled in guilt , anger swallowing up my soul . I could feel my blood start to boil , my hands tightened into deadly fists as I held them by my sides . "She's not safe anywhere anymore!" .

I held my eyes on Mason in a firm lock , watching as he looked up at me in mild shock . "Together we can protect her , Jason" he stated softly , his eyes reflecting a sorrowful look of simpathy .

Staring at him for a moment , my anger slowly started to slip away . Could they ? I mean , they're a gang . I'm pretty sure they have other bussiness to take care of . Snapping out of my stare the vex snapped into my system again . "I shouldn't need anyones help!" I agressively seethed through my teeth . "I should be the one to keep her safe , the only one!" looking around the floor , ignoring eye contact with him . "I'm the one who got her in this mess" I mumble under my breath .

"You can't do this on your own" he whispered gently as he searched for my eyes . "This isn't your fault Jason" he sighed as he sat back . "I've heard about you , you know?" he let out a small smirk . "And I know you've done some pretty messed up shit . I've seen people lose themselves in this kind of business and end of screwing up their lives completely" licking his lips in a nod he grabbed my arm firmly . "But you fell in love" he shrugs . "And she changed you , I can see that . She made you into a better man and I know that . Don't let her go man" .

Things fell silent , looking over at him , our eyes firmly held on each others . Clenching my jaw line I licked my lips and took in a deep , heavy breath . "I could never let her go" I sigh my voice slightly shaky . "Whatever happens , she'll always be my Ashton" . Looking over my shoulder at her , I watched as her chest slowly lifted up and down . Her plump , pink lips dry and chapped .
