Reunited

Chapter 13

I got in the car with Jonathan and he drove me home. The mood is very, I would say, rather sad. So I turned on the radio to lighten up the mood and the song You Belong with me by Taylor Swift came up. Instantly we both started laughing, that used to be our song when we were in high school. I used to mock him for liking Taylor so much but he just sang her songs louder.

"You're on the phone with your girlfriend-she's upset,She's going off about something that you said'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do." he sang and I just stared at him like he was crazy. "Come on sing with me Jasmine "Walk in the streets with you in your worn out jeans. I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be. Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself,Hey, isn't this easy?!!!"

"You are the worst singer I have ever heard" I said laughing.

"Oh so you think you can do better?" he said and gave me a small shove.

"Probably not" I said.

"I know you can sing, you used to be really good come on sing for me" he begged.

"Fine" I said "And you've got a smile. That could light up this whole town. I haven't seen it in awhile. Since she brought you down. You say you're fine-I know you better than that. Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers. She's cheer captain, And I'm on the bleachers. Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find. That what you're looking for has been here the whole time. f you could see. That I'm the one. Who understands you, Been here all along. So, why can't you see-You belong with me?"

"...Where the fuck did that come from?!" he said wide eyed.

I laughed and said "Well let's just say that I like to sing and write music when I'm not working, which is really rare to tell you the truth. I hadn't sang in a really long time"

"Your voice is amazing Jasmine. I'm not kidding like really damn good" he said.

"Well thank you very much, yours isn't that bad either" I said holding in my laughter.

"Jasmine I sound like a dying goat trying to give birth to a walrus" he said and we both just starting laughing so hard.

"Can't argue with that logic then" I said and we both realized that we were already at my house "Well this is where I get off" I said and unlocked the door and opened it.

"Yea...I guess this is the end of the line" he said.

"Yea" I said. I honestly didn't want to get out the car.

"Uh... maybe I could come in for a little?...If you don't mid of course" he said.

"Of course I wouldn't mind come in, stay as long as you'd like" I said with relief.

"Okay, thanks, shall we go in?" he said with a wide smile.

I opened the door and well there was a mess everywhere. The place is dark, cold, terrifying, and untouched since the last time we'd been here.

"I'm so sorry for the mess" I told John.

"It's okay maybe I can help you out before I leave to California" he said.

"You're leaving?" I asked and noticed that I said that way to sad.

"Yea I'm going to find Christine like you suggested and give her a surprise, why?" he asked.

"No reason and that's very romantic of you to do" I said and turned around to meet his eyes. He looked worried and I didn't understand why. We both noticed the pain in each other's eyes.


"Jass? Are you okay?" he asked.

I nodded and walked towards the couch and sat down. I smiled up at him and I just didn't know what to say.
