Lie or die (Jason McCann x Reader)

Part 35

*Jason's pov.*

I look at the small bed in front of me and soon after sit myself on the comfortable bedsheets. For a minute I close my eyes and open them again while inhaling a deep breath. The smell of freshly cut flowers scent the air. As I turn around I see two strings of lights hanging on the wall. I catch sight of a wire and put it in the outlet in the corner right next to the other side of the bed *picture of the room above*. Instantly light brightens the room. I smile shortly and stretch myself on the soft mattress. Suddenly I feel an uncomfortable pain on my stomach. Quickly I stand up from the bed and walk up to the rounded mirror in the room. Slowly I pull my black shirt up and gasp.

»Shit«, I whisper when I see some big scratches on my underbelly,»Fucking spikes!«

I must've hurt myself in the forest but I didn't notice it. A knock on the door interrupts my thoughts. I pull down my shirt swiftly and turn to the side.

»Hey«, I hear her delicate voice say.

Y/n opens the door and coughs nervously. Instantly my eyes examine her incredibly stunning body. She's wearing some short grey sweatpants which reveal her perfectly shaped legs. I hold my breath as I notice the cleavage of her black top. My gaze is focused on her chest and I nearly slap myself for staring at it way too long. As I finally catch sight of her pretty face I can't help but look at her lips. Those freaking lips...

»What do you want?«, I ask harshly and make my way to the bed.

Y/n closes the door behind her. All of a sudden there is that awkward tension between us. 

»I-I just need someone to talk«, she explains,»After the day I got kidnapped you told me I could speak with you about anything that makes me feel...down.«

»Okay«, I reply.

Then I sit myself on the mattress. Y/n takes a seat beside me. We're almost a meter away from each other and I hate that. I hate the way things ended between us. It's not like I loved her but there was something in my body that told me she might be the right one. Whatever, I guess it was only a weird feeling. 

»What do you want to talk about?«

»This whole thing«, she tells me,»It's...it's crazy. I mean the fact that we should know each other for years is...kind of creepy. Doesn't it terrify you?«

»After tonight nothing really terrifies me anymore«, I respond to her question.

Our eyes meet for a brief moment. I look away and pull out the cigarettes from my jacket which I've thrown on the ground. 

»Are these...do you...I mean since when-«

»Yes, I smoke«, I admit,»I started when I was only fourteen but I had to stop because it affected my lungs.«

»Why did you start again?«, Y/n wonders concerned.

The way she stares at me makes me angry. It shouldn't bother her what I do. She didn't care about us neither. 

»It's the only thing that keep me sane«, I lie to her.

I don't want to say the true reason because I don't even know it myself. But every time I look at Y/n now I have the urge to...to do something bad. Not because I want to hurt her but for my own punishment. If she thinks we're not good for each other I want to make myself believe it as well. 

I stare at the package of cigarettes and close my eyes. Suddenly I feel her hand on mine. I look at her confused as she gives me a small smile.

»How are you?«

»Stop it!«, I raise my voice and stand up.

»What are you talking about?«

»Stop doing this after all the things you told me«, I explain.

She nods and looks at the wooden ground. I notice some tears in her eyes but she wipes them away quickly. Y/n stares at me for one last time before she walks up to the door.

»Y/n«, I say causing her to stop and face me,»I'm sorry. If my parents really did what Y/FN told us I am honestly sorry.«

»You don't have to apologize, Jason«, she replies and I smile lightly as she says my name,»Your parents might be manipulative and evil but you are...you are different.«

Instantly I remember the discussion I had with my sister when she first saw Y/n at our home. She said that I should stop playing with every girl that I get to know and I replied that Y/n isn't like the other girls. She's different. 

I watch her leave the room now. A big sigh leaves my mouth and I throw the cigarettes on the white nightstand. Then I walk in the bathroom to find a bandage for my scratches. At 11 pm I fall asleep on the cosy bedsheets. 

»Jason! Jason, wake up!«, I hear a female voice shout.

I rub my eyes and sit up on the bed. When I'm finally able to see my surroundings I catch sight of Y/FN.

»What's going on?«

»You parents found you and they are coming for you! You have to flee!«, she tells me.

As I stand up Y/n's friend examines my half naked body. I'm only in my boxers since it was hot as hell last night.

»No wonder Y/n likes you«

»What?«

»Nothing«, she responds.

Y/FN gives me my clothes and I take them on. I look in the mirror and fix my hair as best as I can.

»Now go!«

»Where's Y/n?«

»She's outside with Kail. I'll stay here«, she tells me,»You have to find a better place to hide. It's not safe here anymore.«

I nod and leave. Quickly I walk down the stairs to the front door and walk outside. Sunlight hits my face and I run my hands through my hair. I see Y/n and Kail leaning on our car. 

»What now?«, they ask me as I come closer to them. 

I look around the place and breath. In my mind I list every person that I know and whom I can trust. After some seconds I have no other choice but to call one of my girl friends.

»Clara? I need your help«
