Lie or die (Jason McCann x Reader)

Part 9

*Your pov.*

»There you are«, my mom greets me as I enter the house.

»I'm sorry, mom. I learned with one of my friends on something and I accidentally fell asleep«, I lie to her and take off my shoes.

»You were at Jason's house«, I hear my mom say and freeze as I want to put off my jacket. 

Gulping down hard I stare at her not knowing what to reply. 

»What?«, I wonder surprised.

»Yeah, he told me this morning«, she tells me and I feel the anger build in my body,»Jason explained to me that you have to make a presentation together and that you accidentally fell asleep.«

Relieved I close my eyes for a second. Then I take a deep breath and put my jacket on a small desk in our corridor. 

»Yes, that's exactly what we did«, I respond smiling big to cover up my nervousness. 

»Good but next time please tell me when you're with him, okay?«, she asks and I nod.

Suddenly someone opens the front door. 

»Hey!«, I listen to my brother greet us,»Is this a family meeting here?«

My mom begins to laugh a little and I walk in my room. I close the door and let out a loud sigh. Slowly I walk to my small comfortable bed and let myself fall on it. 

Finally back home, I think to myself and close my eyes.

Tired I cover myself with a blanket. Before I can fall asleep someone knocks on my door. I frown and quickly sit up in my bed. 

»Can I come in?«, I hear my brother Austin wonder.

»Yeah«, I answer and he steps in the room.

He sits beside me on the bed and looks at me.

»You seem tired«

»Yeah, me and a classmate studied hard yesterday«, I reply scratching my neck nervously.

»Oh, was it the boy who brought you home?«, Austin asks me and I widen my eyes,»I saw you leave a car just some minutes ago.«

»Ah, yes he is my partner. We are working on a presentation for school«, I tell him.

»Is he good? I mean does he treats you good«, he wonders and I smile.

»Everything's fine, Austin. He is kind of a nerd«, I explain and feel the sweat literally pouring down my face. 

»That's good to hear. I'll leave you alone now, little sister«, he says and stands up.

Austin gives me one last glance before leaving and I try to sleep again. But all of a sudden the thought of my kidnappers cruse through my mind. Shivering I shake my head and try to relax a little. 

If anything is wrong I can call Jason, I ressure myself.

*Jason's pov.*

As I get back home from taking Y/n to her house I walk in the dining room to confront my parents. 

»Mom, dad?«, I wonder catching sight of them sitting at the same place as some minutes ago.

»Yes, son«

»We have to talk«, I tell them seriously and put off my jacket which I was wearing and take a seat in front of my parents at the dining table. 

»What do you want to talk about, Jason?«, my mom asks and I roll my eyes. 

»Don't act like you don't know«, I sigh and stare at them sternly. 

»You mean about the girl?«

»Yeah, about the girl damn right«, I tell them a bit angry of their previous behavior. 

»First of all you will change your tone immediately, Jason«, my mom tells me,»And second of all we know Y/n.«

Completely shocked I look at both of them. 

»You know her?«

»Yes«, my dad replies and I examine him,»She was the daughter of some very good friends of ours.«

Still surprised I stare at them. Then I look at the ground and think about their words.

»What do you mean with she WAS?«, I wonder worried. 

»Her family died«, my mom explains and I shut my mouth wide open. 

I can't believe Y/n didn't tell me about it, I think to myself. But, wait, she said she has a brother.

»But she still has a brother«, I tell my parents and they frown.

After that my mom whispers something to my dad and they nod. 

»What?«

»She must be adopted«, they reply and I shake my head no. 

»This can't be true. She would've told me«

»She was a little kid when her parents died, Jason«, my dad tells me,»Why would she tell you anyway? You don't even know her, or do you?«

My thoughts stop instantly. Silence fills the room and I stare at the table. 

Do I know her, I ask myself. I don't. They are right. Why would Y/n even tell me anything like this. 

»Jason?«, I hear my dad wonder and wake up from my trance. 

»I-I will go and take a nap now«, I tell them and stand up from the chair I was sitting on. 

Suddenly something pops up in my mind.

»But I have one last question«, I say,»Why did I have those dreams about her?«

Instantly my parents tense up and look at each other. 

»Uhm...it's just....«, my mom stutters and I wait curiously for her response,»I think you have feelings for her, Jason. Stronger than you think.«

Immediately I frown.

They must be kidding, I think to myself. 

»That's all? Just some feelings?«, I ask angrily and they both nod their heads yes,»Fine, don't tell me but I will find it out sooner or later.«

»Jason!«, I listen my mom call for me as I walk to my room. 

With anger I shut my door close and run my hands through my hair. 

I will find out!
