Wanted: A Jason McCann Story

Hi Again.

     (Play the song)

"He's a Criminal !?"

I say trying not to believe what I just read on this computer screen. I mean, he did look like he was running away from the police but I don't think he could be that bad of a person. He didn't seem like that when I met him that night. He was like a suburban Prince Charming. I look at Maya who then looks at Jaden who's twiddling with his finger. He was hiding something and I was going to get it out of him.

"You know him, don't you ? ", I ask him. "I wouldn't say I know him but I–", I cut him off. "You knew who I was talking about the whole time and didn't bother to tell me who he was !?", I yell. "Shhhh !", said the Librarian. "Oh screw you !!", I yell at her. "Y/n.....you don't understand how dan–"

"I thought I could call you my friend Jaden !!", I say. "Y/n calm down and listen please.", Maya tells me. "What's there to listen to !? He could've saved all this time we wasted in this stupid library !", I yell. "Please, I have a reason why I didn't tell you !!", Jaden says.

"How about you children continue your conversation outside !!", yelled the librarian.

I forgot we were in the library. Everyone was staring at us. We got our things and went outside on the steps of the building. I was still mad. Why did Jaden try to hide the fact that he knew Jason McCann ? He better have a great reason he did this. I fold my arms and look directly at Jaden. "Talk. Now !"

"Ok, yes, I know Jason, but you honestly don't need to know him. He's not who you think he is.", Jaden tells me. "Can you explain why ?", I ask him. "Remember how the website said he's a gang leader ?", he asked. "Well, I'm in his gang. And we're dangerous !"

"You didn't seem dangerous when we met you.", Maya says. "That's because I'm a new member. I didn't know how dangerous these guys were until after a week of joining the gang.", Jaden tells us. "What do they do ?", I ask him. "Well just like the website said. They deal drugs, rob banks, street fight, and pick up chicks. Not just any chicks though. Sometimes girls from clubs and others that are in prostitution. Jason is weird when it come to girls. He's always in his office when a bunch of strippers are over. One of the guys told me about his ex though.", said Jaden.

"What about his ex ?", I ask. "Well some girl named Rebecca broke his heart like betrayed him or something. He's a pretty cold guy. He doesn't get too close to anyone not even the guys in his gang.", Jaden says. "He didn't seem cold when I met him.", I say. "That's because you don't know him.", Jaden tells me. "I know enough about him to know we're just alike.", I tell him.

"She has a point.", Maya says. "Y/n you don't understand. I'm just trying to keep you safe. I don't want you heartbroken or anything.", Jaden tells me. "Jaden.......thank you for caring for me and which not a lot do. But if I end up being hurt then let that be a lesson learned for me. I just feel like I connected with him. Maybe I'm speaking nonsense but it doesn't matter to me right now. I gotta see him again.", I say as I start running.

"No Y/n I don't think that's a good idea !!", said Jaden running after me.

I walked down the steps of the library and headed to my car. I got in and so did Maya and Jaden because they walked here instead of driving like I did. Maya sat in front and Jaden was in the back. After I had pulled off I began to drive around town searching for him. After almost an hour of driving around the whole town I pulled over. I stopped right before I got to that drug store where I last saw him. I was so sad that I couldn't find him and now I just needed a cigarette.

"You guys can stay and talk.", I tell them. "Where are you going ?", Maya asked me. "I need a cig.", I say. "Well, be safe and hurry back.", Jaden tells me.

I walked off. I began to go up the street. I began thinking about when I met Jason here. What a crazy day that was. I wish we had a better chance to speak to each other. There's so many things I need to know about him. I feel like together me and him could be invincible. Inseparable. Strong. So many thoughts ran through my mind. The thinking stopped once I bumped into someone. I dropped my cigarette. I look to see who I bumped into. It was Jason. He was wearing a black jacket, some shades, and black jeans. He was also smoking a cigarette. I was speechless.

"Hey Beautiful.", he says smirking at me. "Hi, again.", I say.
