The Power Within

The Power Within: Chapter 11

{Jocelyn's POV}

After all the the idiotic fun we have in the pool, everyone starts heading back inside to take a shower and sleep. (I know right you're probably like "WHAT?! Night already?!?!?!?!?!?")

I decided to stay and let my feet soak in the pool water that reflected the moon shining in the sky filled with stars. "Beautiful, right?" I turn and find Jason holding two towels in his hands. He smiles and throws one to me as I answer him. "Yeah."

Wrapping my towel around me, I look over my shoulder and watch as Jason sets hisself next to me. "Aren't you gonna go inside, Hearth?" Hearth? He knew my last name? I lift an eyebrow and smile. "When did I ever tell you my last name?"

"Answer my question first." He says while smirking. "Nope. I want to stay out here for a while. So, back to my question." We were shoulder to shoulder by now, so I decided to lay my head on his shoulder, watching the sky.

"You never did. Your father," he paused and coughs. "Your father had a bracelet around his arm that had Felix Hearth written on it, so I just figured that was his name."

I trail off his response mid-sentence and focus on the moon shining bright in the dark sky. In the corner of my eye, I could see Jason with a soft smile across his face. I lift my head and look at him shyly. "What?" His hand towards me and moves away a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing, it's just." Heat rushes through my body. "What?" I repeat. "Your so beautiful."

More heat gathers inside of me, especially in my cheeks. I'm pretty sure I'm bright red. But before I knew Jason's eyes meet mine and we look into each others eyes. I could feel myself moving forward as my eyes drift off into his. Moments later, our mouths connect and we sit there outside kissing.

{Jason's POV}

Woah. Wait, what am I doing?! I don't love her! Do I? Who cares, her lips were soft and warm againest mine, I just can't resist.

"Eh-hem!" I felt the rush of air escape Jocelyn's mouth as she pulled away. Her eyes wide open staring at me. She looked like she had something to say, but never came out. "Guys?" I heard a faded giggle. My body turns away from Jocelyn and faces Jerome and Mitch who were standing at the door.

"Uh, we- um," I was struggling to find the right words to explain what the hell just happened. "How long were you guys standing there?" Jocelyn asks with her voice cracking at the end. "Long enough to see, that." Mitch says with his mouth twitching. His eyebrows were scrunched together, but then relaxed as soon as he saw me observing him. Was he jealous?

"I should, um, go to bed." Jocelyn rushes towards the door where Mitch and Jerome are watching her. Before she could move any further Jerome points his finger at her, which causes her to stop dead in her tracks. "Jerome, really?" She questions. Jerome's eyebrows lift up twice signaling he thinks she's falling for me. Jocelyn laughs then pushes Jerome back with her abilities.

{Back to Jocelyn's POV}

I dash to the stairs, but I am stopped by Jerome who again has me. He moved me toward his arms and he held me bridal style. "What are you doing?" I laughed. "Being stupid." He smiled and ran towards the stairs leaving Jason and Mitch behind.

I struggled to escape his arms, but gave up because of how much fun this was. Walls with pictures pass by me, as Jerome takes me to my room. The door was unlocked and slightly open, so Jerome flicks his hand like he's brushing a fly away and the door swings open. Running in, he throws me onto my bed and places his hands on his knees, breathing heavily.

"Wooooo!" Jerome yells shaking his head then his hands. "You idiot!" I laugh and he joins me on the bed. "C'mon you enjoyed it didn't you?" He smirks. I don't answer, just laugh pushing him softly in the arm.

"Power.Moves. Power. Moves." I roll my eyes and start to relax. It was silet for a few seconds, but then I realize Jerome was staring at my guitar in the corner of the room. A smirk spreads across my face and I nudge him in the arm. "You play?"

He snapped out of his day dream back to reality. "Oh, what? Yeah." I nudge him again. "Can you play something for me?" My smile is childish, but it convinces him enough to walk over to it and start to play.

"I don't know what to do?" His finger explore the guitar then start strumming something random. "Just say random things I guess." I shrug. "Um, bananas are pow-er moving kings..." He stops and puts the guitar back. Jerome shrugs as he walks to me saying, "I don't know where that came from."

Silence again.

"So," Jerome awkwardly says. "I should leave you. You really need-" I grab hold of his wrist when he stands up. Our eyes meet and I'm drifting away from reality. As I drift away, i forget why I even stopped Jerome. A faint smile appears on Jerome's face. "Night Jocelyn." He leans over and kisses me with a passion. I can't help, but kiss back. Then, he pulls away smiling and leaves the room, closing the door behind him.

Shocked. That's all I'm feeling right now besides the wetness of the clothes in wearing. "I just kissed another guy. In the same night I kissed the first." The first meaning Jason. And I can't forget drifting away from reality when my eyes met Mitch's, and when I pretended he was mine.

I push the thought of the wet clothes and lay back on my bed, covering my face with both palms. Are you falling for all three of them?! C'mon really Jocelyn?, I think to myself. The coldness of the wet clothes sinks in and I decide to take then off and just wear my under garments. I slip in bed, and soon after feel my eyes starting to droop down.

My head starts to think random thoughts of basically anything. Then, it hit me. I shoot upright and my eyes widen. "There's only one day left 'til TC finally chooses a path. And- shoot. My fathers coming tomorrow to check on me!" I smack my forehead like that would knock sense into me. "Idiot! I forgot he-" I was interrupted.

A breeze causes me to shiver and I look in the direction of my window. Ava. My eyes narrow at sight of her relaxing on my window sill. "Hello, Jocelyn. I see your stressing out again. Are you angry, dear? Huh?" She makes a pouty face, but starts to smirk.

"What are you doing, Ava, leave." I firmly demand. "I just wanted to tell you I paid one of your friends a visit." Her head tilts a little then back. Who could she have possibly- Ty. "What did you do to Ty." My hands turn into fists ready to strike. "Nothing, nothing." Ava moves around happily.

I tighten my fists that my knuckles start turning white. "Ava, what did you do?" My voice was getting louder, but I soften it so I don't wake anyone up. "Just wait Jocelyn. You'll see for yourself when it's time." I shake my head slowly and lift my hand to push her away, but she dodges and pulls a piece of the ground towards her so she could stand on it, creating a pillar of dirt.

I scrunch my eyebrows and attempt to push her off, but she's gone. The rumble of the dirt pillar falls back and disappears into the ground. I let out a big sigh and place a pillow on my face.

{woah. I totally forgot how late it is right now. IM WAY OFF MY YOUTUBER SCHEDULE! I have to be watching youtube videos! soo im gonna go. Sorry for any mistakes! I'll fix them later (doubt it). PEACESKIES!}
