Insecurities, and then the bad boy

Chapter 36- Bullet proof?

Love,

Love can bring out the best and the worst in people.

Love can make people jealous and mean, possessive and cruel...

But Love can also make someone caring and happy.

Winter's POV-

I wake up to see an empty space next to me. Where is Jason? I stand up and look around his room. I guess he left. I get up and go to the bathroom. I see a posted note on the mirror.

Meet me @ the treehouse, don't eat breakfast! ❤️

The heart at the end is so cute.

I get dressed into a sweatshirt and shorts. I'm about to leave when I hear my phone go off. I pick it up.

Logan my bro

It's been 3 weeks since Logan found me and we've talked a lot. I answer the call.

Winter: "Hi Logan, whass'up?"

Logan: "I have some bad news about mom and I want to tell you in person."

Winter: "What? Can't you just tell me on the phone?"

Logan: "Can I come over in like 30 minutes?"

Winter: "Sure. See you soon." I hang up. He lives about 20 minutes away but he said 30 so he probably has to go somewhere. I walk to the treehouse and climb up the ladder. I get up and see Jason sitting on the green beanbag. There is a little table with eggs, hash browns, and toast. I sit on the blue beanbag.

Winter: "You know how to make eggs and hash browns?" He blushes.

Jason: "I got help from the internet but I tried. You can cook and you make things for me so I thought I should cook for a change."

I get up and kiss him on the lips. He is a little startled but grabs my waist and pulls me closer to him. He gently bits my bottom lip and I open my mouth and moan his name. I feel him smile. Our tongues interwind and I grab his hair. After another few minutes of that we pull away and eat.

Winter: "Mmmh." He laughs. "These are so good. Where did they actually come from?" He rolls his eyes.

Jason: "Okay, my mom helped me with the hash browns but I did the rest. Plus toast is easy." I nod and keep eating. I almost forget that my brother was coming over in 15 minutes.

Winter: "Oh yeah! My brothers coming over soon."

Jason: "Okay we'll leave when your done." I nod and we finish quickly. Once we're done we have about 2 minutes until Logan gets to our house so we grab the plates and leave. When we get to the house I see his car outside.

Winter: "Looks like he beat us." We go inside and see Lola, Logans girlfriend sitting on a coach. I rush over to her and sit down. "What's going on? And who let you in?"

Lola: "Lilly. And you need to come to the hospital right away." The way she said hospital wanted to make me giggle since she has a Irish accent and it sounds different than how I say it but I don't since hospital never means a good thing for us. We set the plates down and leave.

Once we get to the hospital we rush in. Lola speed walks through the people in the hospital. We reach the 3rd floor out of 10 and she knocks on the door. I see the door open and Logan step through. His face is in a frown but when he sees me he smiles nervously.

Logan: "Hi sis. Um... its... it's mom. She's really sick. I need to tell you why she's sick so please sit down."

Winter: "Oh. Okay but I need to go to the bathroom first. Jason? Come with me please." I didn't have to give him puppy eyes or nothing. He just took my hand and we started walking towards the bathroom. Once we reach the bathroom and where out of sight from Logan and Lola I stop and look down. "What if I won't be able to take in what's about to happen next? What am I supposed to do?" Right now we're standing outside the bathrooms holding hands.

Jason: "If not I'll be here next to you to comfort you." I nod and he continues. "No one is bullet proof but the people around you who truly love you will be their for you. And I'll always be here for you, through thick and thin as they say." I smile at that.

Winter: "You should be a poet. Or a person who writes stuff for hallmark cards." We both laugh and go back.

Logan: "That was quick, okay so mom hurt herself with a knife while eating yesterday so they went to clean her up but they found out... the-they found out she has a deadly cancer. She only h-has 3 days to live." He looks down and a tear escapes my right eye.

She was a terrible mother but she was also heartbroken and unstable just like me. She brought out everything on me sure, but do I want her to die? No way. I couldn't wish that on anyone.

Winter: "Can I see her?" I whispered.

Logan: "Yes but have Jason go with you. We don't know how she's going to react to you." I nod and we go in.

As I open the door I feel Jason's grip on me tighten. He's probably scared that she'll do something to me, but when I see her for the first time in awhile lying on a hospital bed helpless and vulnerable I feel in control. Like I have the power not her, but I'm going to use the power better, not like how she did.

Winter: "Hi mom. It's your daughter. I've come to see if your alright." I see her shift and open her blazing blue eyes at me. Her expression has no hate just sorrow. She looks a little bit scared to.

Mom: "Um... Winter?" I walk over to her. We're only 2 feet apart from each other now.

Winter: "Yes?" I respond and her face shifts to anger and guilt.

Mom: "Why are you here?" I take a deep breath.

Winter: "To see you."

Mom: "Well of course you idiot girl, but why?" I hear Jason growl a little behind me and so I turn around and kiss him on the cheek.

Winter: "Because your still my mom, a-and you'll be gone soon. I needed to see you." She doesn't say anything for a few seconds and then talks.

Mom: "I want to say sorry to you but it wouldn't be sincere. I have so much hate and I don't deserve you. I'm sorry I can't say sorry for hating you."

At that we left.

It wasn't the best daughter mother moment, wasn't nearly close but now I know she isn't completely bad.

No one is completely bad.
