Still holding on (Fell For The Bad One)

Chapter - 5

My eyes felt heavy and numb, and as I tried to open them, it felt like I was lifting a truck. Everything seemed blurry. I tried to get up, with the support of the bed, but fell instead.
"Oww!" I groaned. The cold floor of my room, felt a little too cold. That was because, I realized, I was half naked, wearing only my lingerie. Oh, and also, it wasn't my room. I got up and started to think 'where was I?', just when I noticed movement. I looked back and saw a guy lying next to, where I was previously lying. He was naked too. Controlling my scream, I first picked up my dress which was lying on the floor, and covered up. And then I screamed.
"What the fuck? Who are you?!"
"Mmm. Hey, good morning." A familiar husky voice answered.
Jason Grey, yet again.
"Wh--, why? Why did you do this, huh? Why ?" I said, as a tear escaped my eye.
"Christ--"
"I trusted you. I fucking trusted you, even though everyone told me not to!"
"Everyone? Wh--"
"Don't act so innocent. I know everything! There's no point of lying now, Jason!"
"What do you mean Christina?" He said coming closer to me.
"Don't you dare come close to me. Keep your monstrous hands off of me!"
I said backing away. "Are you happy now? Are you happy that another girl, became a fool for you! It's not even been a week since I know you, but I thought everyone was wrong, and you were right. I thought, you were the good guy. But how wrong could I have been?"
"Chri--, I didn't" he said, his voice cracking up. Was he crying?
"So why the hell was I naked, when I got up!"
"You wer--"
"Screwed? By you? What Jason? What? I can't believe I had gained feelings for you. Maybe just an attraction, but yes, whatever it was, it made me trust you. And now that trust is broken!" I said, sobbing and ran downstairs, ignoring his distant calls. Thank god his mom was not at home. I ran across the street, to my house and opened it with the spare keys, inside the flower pot. God knows what kind of punishment was awaiting me.
"Mom? I'm home." I said walking towards the kitchen.
"Mo--" I stopped as I saw a note on the table.
'Kate told me that you stayed over at her house at night. I will come back after 2 days due to urgent work. Call me when you reach home. And you will be staying at the grey's.
- mom :)'
"No! Oh no!" I said running my hands through hair.
"No, no, no." I muttered to myself as bad thoughts encountered my mind. What if I'm...? I couldn't even bare the thought of that word. A bath was what I needed. I rushed to the bathroom, and turned on the geyser. My reflection seemed like a Halloween mask, with black liner spread everywhere. My hair looked like a bird's nest and my eyes were red and puffy.
As the hot water slowly drained my naked body, it seemed to relax, physically. My thoughts faded a little, but still it wasn't enough. Coming back to my senses, I realised I should give Jason a chance to explain. Maybe, he didn't do it after all. Just then the bell rang, and I wore whatever I could find and went to open the door. Must be Jason. We could talk alone now.
"Hey." I did not expect him.
"Hey." I replied, staring into those earthen green eyes. Chase.
"You okay?"
"How about you come inside? Then we'll talk."
"That would be good."
Was it safe to stay alone at home with him?
"It was me." He said seating himself on the sofa. My eyes widened.
"Wha--?"
"I mean the guy, who tried to save you."
"Oh." I replied.
"I'm sorry , I couldn't help you. He had a gun, and he could've shot anyone. Not because he was drunk. Because he is Jason Grey." What was that supposed to mean?
"I just... Still can't believe it."
"So all girls said, and will say. He is who he is. Nothing or no one can change him."
"Is it true that you and Jason were in a gang?" I said, hoping to expect a 'no'. Why did I still have hope?
"Yes..."
"And that girl who had been raped...?" I asked out of curiosity, as thousands of questions filled my mind. And I intended to know the answer, of every single one of them.
"It was all Jason."
That was all I needed to hear, to become permanently speechless. And to trigger the waterfall of tears.
"Christina, he wasn't worth it." Chase sat next to me, and brushed my hair. It was rather discomforting, a guy who I don't know at all, to be brushing my hair and to be soothing me. And with all the said history he's had. That's when something came to my mind, which should've been the first thing on my mind, the moment he entered. How did he get my house address. And why did he ask for it?
"Hey...by the way, how did yo--" I was interrupted by the door bell.
"It's okay, I'll open." I said as he was standing up, to open the door.
I wiped my tears, but that was of no use, as my eyes were stop light red by now.
Again came those eyes, when I didn't expect to see them.
"Oh my god, Christi! Let me explain. Don't do this to yourself. Please don't cry. Do you have any idea how guilty I'm feeling?" Jason said, with his eyes widened, at the sight of me, crying.
"Why are you here? Get out! Don't you fucking call me Christi, and don't you fucking try to get out of it!"
"What's with all the shouti--" asked Chase coming from behind.
"Jason. You have gone way too far, off of your limits, dude. Don't you think?" Chase said with an unknowingly smirk.

"Shut the fuck up, Chase. You and I both know, who has crossed the limits." Jason replied, with an arrogant tone to his voice.

"What the hell do you want, Jason?" I said, my voice filled with anguish, wiping my tears away.

"You're supposed to stay at my house, you do know, right? Anyways, mom is calling you for lunch." The little guilt which he had felt, now certainly had vanished. So he is what he shows, after all. He is the bad guy.

"Fine. Chase I'll see you later, okay?"

"Jason if you have any humanity left inside of you, don't screw her again, okay? And even if you do, use protection. Cause I'm sure you're not the one who is going to keep the kid, huh?" Chase said hugging me, which was a little weird. They both had a stare show, and clearly communicated with each other, in a language that I couldn't understand.

*****
I was expecting for him to say, 'Chase is a bad guy, stay away from him.' But nothing. He said nothing.
Jason sat in one corner of his bed, while I sat on the floor. We both remained quite since 'the ultimate meet', of us three.

"Just tell me the real crap already!" I said looking up from the book I was reading, hoping to hear a clear 'I didn't do it' explanation. But instead...

"What truth? I did it. Okay? Happy?"

That, I did not expect.
