Double Trouble

Chapter 15

I saw a flash of shock run through Jason's face but not long after it returned to normal. We sat in silence for a few minutes the only noise was the clock ticking in the kitchen. Just as I began to get up and leave the awkward silence Jason grabbed my arm.

"Lucy.." Jason began to say.

"Yes Jason?"

He pulled me back down and cradled me in his arms.

"I'm so sorry." He whispered as he began to play with my hair.

"Why? it's not your fault." I replied.

"I wish you'd told me before. He paused before saying "Is that how you got those scars all over your back and neck?"

I swallowed before muttering, "yes."

He pulled me into his arms tighter. Somehow I felt safe with Jason, curled up in his arms. A tear escaped my eye and I watched as it splashed onto Jason's shirt.

"Let me see them." He said.

I didn't reply instead I just shifted out of his arms and lifted up the back of my shirt. He gasped and then tried to cover it with a cough.

He wasn't fooling me though. Nobody had ever seen my scars well except the doctors and my parents, but they want nothing to do with me now anyway.

He pulled back down my shirt and scooped me into his arms again. We just lay there and before I knew it I was asleep.

As I awoke I looked up to see Jason's face smiling down at me.

"You're so cute when you're sleeping."

I smiled back and buried my face in his shoulder. He started stroking my hair and for once I felt wanted.

"Come on, let's get you some breakfast."

Wait what? I thought to myself. I glanced over at Jason's watch to see it read 9:00 am.

"We slept for 15 hours!" I said shocked. "You slept for 15 hours" Jason replied.

He carried me out in his arms into the kitchen and carefully put me down on the chair. I giggled as he wiped a fallen eyelash from my cheek. He quickly spun around and began to fry some bacon and eggs. I sniffed as the smell filled the room.

"Smells good." I smiled.

Jason quickly began serving them onto the plates and placing them on the table. I started eating as soon as soon as the plate hit the table. Jason beamed at me as he saw me tucking into the delicious food. "

"Hungry much?" He laughed.

I didn't reply instead I just simply nodded my head and finished eating. When I'd finished I leaned back into my chair and rubbed my stomach.

"So for today I was thinking we should go shopping." Jason said breaking the silence.

Shocked that he'd brought up the idea, I answered "But you hate shopping? and I have no money anyway.."

"I know you don't but I do." Jason smiled. "Now go run off and get ready."

I quickly got up and skipped off to my room. I searched through my closet for something to wear before finally settling with a pair of purple denim shorts and a white tank top.

After I got dressed I picked up my make up bag and headed to the bathroom.

I placed the bag on the edge of the sink and splashed my face with some water. I searched around for a towel and dried my face. The clock in the kitchen chimed meaning it was now 10 am.

I better hurry up. Reaching for my make up bag I pulled out my foundation and began to rub into into my face until it was all rubbed in.

Then I  started to apply my mascara and eyeliner. I took one last look in the mirror and walked off to find Jason. As I opened the door I looked around to see him leaning against the front door. He looked breathtaking in his ripped jeans and blue just do it shirt. It was simple but he looked perfect.

Wait? since when did I start thinking of Jason like this? Well I suppose I've always thought of him this way.

"Ready?" He asked as I walked over to him.

"Ready." I smiled as he slipped his hand into mine.

I followed him out to his car and swung open the car door. I watched as Jason politely shut the door for me and walked round to the other side of the car.

He started the engine and I sang along as Taylor Swift - Ours started playing on the radio. He reached for my hand and I held it tightly. For once everything felt just perfect.
