a second chance

two

jason's pov —

before i knew it my alarm went off. very loud, as if satan was breathing down on my neck telling me to live again. i searched around for my phone in the layers of pillows and blankets, finding it connected to the charger. i unplugged it and looked at the date, reading 'august 31, 2017.'

i had woken up on my sixteenth birthday, just about 10 days after i asked maya out. i expected a birthday text, but to no avail, i got one from everyone but her. i assumed she had forgotten, but i shrugged it off because i didn't recall telling her my birthday ever.

i got up and got ready, as i refused to being late to school on my birthday. the day went on fast and i hadn't seen maya all day until i got a text from her during english class. i had assumed we were together and satan was just giving me a chance to make sure we didn't break up this time. it wasn't for another  few hours late that night that maya wished me a happy birthday over text while bryton was over at my house.

maya had caught my attention during the night because she had begun blaming herself for forgetting my birthday. it went on until maya fell asleep and my attention was back on bryton.

bryton didn't know, but i couldn't stop shaking while we watched anime. as time went on, my time frame was coming to a close to fix my relationship. that was until bryton fell asleep with her head on my shoulder. i couldn't help but stare, as it calmed me down knowing she was comfortable.

we ended up falling asleep together in my living room, waking up a few hours later when i noticed that netflix had stopped playing 'Durarara!!' on the television. i switched off the tv and slowly got up, picking up bryton to lay her down on my bed. i laid her down gently, pulling one of my many blankets over her small body.

i sat on the floor with my back against the bed, falling asleep having no clue that maya was spamming my phone, which was dead from showing bryton spongebob memes. the next day was saturday and me and bryton had woken up to my dog barking.

at that point i had no concern for my phone, as i was enjoying myself with bryton. until it hit me. i had a day to keep maya until my death. i began to panic and bryton finally noticed. i told her everything. satan, my suicide, the breakup, everything. though, it seemed like bryton was in pain while i told her everything. i wasn't sure why, it was probably because of my suicide.

i didn't worry about it at the moment, i just didn't want to die in two weeks. i didn't want to see her in his arms.

i'm going to get her back, all thanks to satan.
