Why Me...

Ch.8 Home

Jon's Pov

After a short drive we arrive at my small house. As we pull into the drive way Evan smiles.

"Your house is really nice, who all is here?" He asks as he turns off the car

"Its just my mom, my dad sometimes, and me. My dad usually is away for business so I think its just my mom with us." I say as we get out of the car.

We walk in to the smell of grilled chicken and Meatloaf. My mom peeks her head out from the floor of the kitchen.

"Hey dear, how was school?" She asks as she gets off the floor.

"School was meh, like always. Oh this is Evan, I volunteered to tutor him in math. I hope its okay for him to join us for dinner-" I says but Evan interrupts me.

"Oh I'm fine really I don't want to be a bother-" he begins

"Oh don't be silly, I'll put another chicken on the stove!.." She says with a smile. Evan and I begin our way to my room "Oh Jonbear! Your father will be coming home tonight!" She calls after.

I tense up as I hear the nickname I've had since a child. I turn and see Evan trying to fight down a laugh, "Okay mom." I say and rush Evan to my room before my mom can embarrass.

"Jonbear?" Evan says with a chuckle. My face is as red as a tomato. Evan laughs and sets his bag down and looks around my room.

It's nothing much, we aren't the wealthiest family. But we manage, Evan picks up one of my games. "I don't have many of those.." I say, Evan looks at me, "My mom doesn't work, never graduated high school, dropped out when she had me at 16. My dad is away a lot, he never really tells me what he does exactly but he says its enough to pay the bills.." Evan puts the game back "We don't have a lot, but we don't have little either. Its a good life." I say and smile

Evan's Pov

We take a seat on Jon's bed and begin our math.."This is so boring! can't we take a break.." I say and fall back and stare at the ceiling.

"You've been wanting to take a break for the last 30 minutes...sure why not I could use a break as well." Jon says and sets the text book aside.

"Sooooo...tell me, what's it like, you know being popular?" Jon asks me. I stare at him blankly. No has ever asked me about this. Mostly because I've never really hung out with anyone who HAD to ask me this before.

"Ummmm..I guess it has its perks, but at the end of the day it brings out the worst in people. Look at Craig.." He winces and breaks eye contact "..sorry... I mean look at me, until a couple of weeks ago I was a complete jerk to you, this was because I thought that I was entitled to something. Popularity is a poison, and I think that I finally found my antidote" I look into his blue eyes.

"And what is your antidote?" he asks and doesn't break the eye contact.

Stop Evan! Stop it! This guy has done nothing to deserve this. You don't deserve to be his friend, to be in his house! He likes you Evan, don't ruin that. Don't ruin him!

I can't stop. I can't lose the team. Its my only way out. My only way to safety. My only way to having my own life.

"You." I smirk and begin to lean in,

"Me!? oh!, well I-I didnt-" Jon leans to far back and falls off the bed, "I-uh-I-I got to um go to the bathroom!" he runs out the door, face burning and panicking.

I sigh and instantly regret my actions, my cruel, cruel actions.

Jon Pov

I run into the bathroom and slam the door. I look into the mirror, my face is redder than red, and my eyes turned into their striking icy blue. A goofy ass smile found its way to my lips.

I'm his antidote. Me. He leaned in. He. Likes. Me. I chuckle and smile more.

I let my face calm down and return to its normal color.

When I walk back into my room Evan is sitting on my bed head in his hands. Hears me walk in and jumps to his feet.

"Jon I'm so sorry, I assumed- I'm so sorry." Evan explains and hangs his head.

"Evan its okay, it was me that didn't know, I do like you like that Evan.." I say and lift his head.

We stare into each others eyes for what feels like an eternity.

Evan leans in and before I know it our lips are locked and my heart is racing.

we pull apart. All I can think is, I just kissed Evan Fong.

He smiles at me and kisses me again and this time I smile at him. He pulls me into a hug and I feel safe, relaxed.
