Somewhere After Forever

Chapter Four

One week later

Jason's POV

Today I wasn't feeling good but I was feeling better than I had been in a week. My mother was here visiting but I think she left. The girls are here too, they are in their rooms I'm guessing. I decided to go to the living room and watch TV for a while. While I was sitting there I heard Keeley. “Yes I have his number…” I looked around. “Ask your mom if we can come over. … My dad doesn't feel good, just ask your mom..” There was a pause. “Yeah I herd her.. Yeah he's sick. … Ugh.. Ok yeah I'll ask my dad. .. He's gonna say no. … I'll ask and then I'll call you back ok.” A few seconds later Keeley came and stood in front of me. “Hi daddy.” “Hi.” “How are you feeling?” “Ok.” She looked at me for a few seconds. “Are you sick?” “Kinda.” “Oh.” She looked at the floor. “What's up?” “I wanted to know if I could have friends over?” “How many friends?” “6.. We'll go in the back.” I looked at her for a few seconds. “Only if their parents drop them off.” “Ok thanks daddy!!” She ran off. “You're welcome.” About two hours later Keeley's friends started to show up so I decided to hang out in the kitchen. “You really have his number?” Keeley and her best friend came into the kitchen. “Yes.” “How did you get it?” “He was on the beach and he was funny.. I told him he was cool then asked if I could have his number so we could be friends and text sometimes. He said yeah and gave it to me.” “Call him and ask him to come over!!” “Why? He's so full of himself And he doesn't like Tristan.” “Come on Keeley.” “Ok but I can't promise that he'll answer.” They got bottles of water. “Hello is this Jack? … it's Keeley remember? .. Yeah.. I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out at my house with me and my friends? … Yeah. … Now. .. Ok I'll send it now. … Alright bye.” She hung up and looked at her friend. “He's coming!!” She smiled. “Yes!!” They walked away and I shook my head then Lexie came into the Kitchen. As soon as she sat on a stool someone rang the doorbell. “Thank god.” I thought and got up. I went and opened the door and saw it was Tyler and John. “What's up y'all?” I let them in. “Nothing at all.” I closed the door and went to the kitchen. “Y'all want a beer or something?” “Yeah sure.” I got them a beer and we went on talking about random events. About thirty minutes later someone was ringing the doorbell. “Ugh.” I went and answered the door. “Hi.” Kristen smiled. “Hey.” “Someone invited this child of mine over?” “Yeah y'all come in.” “Ok.” They stepped in and I closed the door. “This is Jackson.” She smiled. “Hey Mr Williams.” “Hey bud, how's it going?” “Very well thank you.” “Y'all come to the kitchen.” “I actually have to pick up my daughter.” “Oh ok well come on bud.” “Ok.” He stood next to me and looked at Kristen. “Alright, what time should I come back?” She asked. “Um.. 8:30-9 o'clock.” “Ok.” She looked at her son. “Give mommy a kiss.” “Mom!” He frowned. “Shut up and give me a kiss.” He walked over and hugged her. “Ok call me if you need anything.” “Ok.” “Alright bye!!” She hugged and kissed him again then looked at me. “Thanks for inviting him over.” “No problem.” “Ok.” She fixed his shirt then walked over to the door. “Bye guys.” “Later.” I said and she left. “Come on.” He followed me to the living room. “Everyone's in there.” “Ok thank you.” “No problem.” He went in. “Have no fear Jackson is here.” He said and they started laughing.

About an hour into us talking Keeley and Jackson came into the kitchen. “So is it true?” Keeley asked. “What?” “You know what.” She smiled. “No I don't.” “Did you really kill a man?” “What the fuck?!” Tyler, John and I looked over at them. “Is that why you invited me over here?” “No.” “I don't want to talk about that.” “So you did?!” She covered her mouth. “Whatever.” He shook his head. “Why did you kill a man?” “Come on now girl.” He was looking at her with a blank look. “You killed him with a gun?” “Are you getting your jollies off by asking me this stuff?” “I mean you're the one that told me that you were a good boy then I find out you killed a guy.” “Get over yourself girl.” He shook his head. “You're the one that kills people.” “You know what? Whatever, I'll be the bad guy. I kill people ‘cause it makes me feel good.” “Did you shoot him?” “I don't know what you have going on here but I'm gonna go.” “Why??” “Because you're being crazy.” “Ok maybe you don't kill people, that was a little dramatic and I'm sorry.” He just looked at her. “Ok did You shoot a person?” “I don't know why people make stuff up about me.. ‘Cause I'm from Texas?” “Shut up.” She shook her head. “Well you're the one saying I'm a murderess.” She died laughing. “Shut up nobody called you a murderess.” They started laughing. “I'm gonna start using that word.. Murderess.” “Can I have some water now?” He laughed. “Sure.” She got him a bottle of water and they left. “What the hell was that?” Tyler asked. “Hell if I know..” “Did he kill someone?” “I have no idea but I'm going to ask his mama.” I said and someone rang the doorbell. “Ugh.” I went and answered. It was Keeley's boyfriend, Tristan. “Hey come in bud.” He stepped in and I closed the door. “My parents are on their way to talk to you.” “Ok.” He went to the living room and I went back to the kitchen. A few minutes later Tristan and Keeley came into the kitchen. “What is wrong with you?!” She snapped. “Get that jerk out of your house!” He snapped. “Who dummy? Get off me.” She snatched her arm away. “Jackson Henderson! Get him out now.” “Why?!” “Because he killed a person.” “He didn't kill a person.” She shook her head. “What do you call shooting a person with a shotgun?! He is dangerous and my parents are coming over here to talk to your dad about him.” “You're being so extra right now, why would he even do that?” “I get that he has you charmed but that kid is dangerous and you need to get him out!” He snapped. “I'm not charmed by anybody dummy! You're telling people that he killed someone but you have no proof!” “Oh look if it isn't our handy dandy prissy trissy..” Jack said coming into the kitchen. “I will punch you..” “And I will kick your brains out of your head.” Tyler shook his head and kinda laughed. “Why don't you just get out of here you murderer?!” “You get out.” “Or what? You're gonna shoot me with your shotgun poorboy?!” “Poor boy? My house has 8 bedrooms, a pool and a waterfall, plus my mom has four cars. So who's poor triscuit?” “He's not even denying that he killed a guy!” “Why so serious Danielson?” “That's why your dad is a faggot!” “Say something else about my father and I will become a murderer because I'll kick the life out of you.” “Damn.” Tyler laughed quietly. “JUST GET OUT YOU MURDERER!!” “I'd love to see you make me.” “Ok that's enough!” I snapped. “Go sit down.” In the middle of me talking I heard the door so I went and answered it. It was Tristan's parents so I let them in. “Hey come in.” I said and they stepped in. “Jason we need to speak with you.” “Ok.” We went to the kitchen.
