Obsidian (Sequel to Alien) Jason McCann Love Story

Chapter 23

Juliet's POV

I try to disregard the cries and screams of pain coming from downstairs with the TV blaring. I had to keep myself from running down there and stopping them because I learned the hard way what Jason will do if I go down and mess with his things. I shudder at the memory and push it to the back of my mind.

After a few minutes, I can't listen any longer. I grab a piece of paper, writing Jason a note about where I was going and when I'd get back. I pull on my light jacket, grab my bus card, and place the note on the coffee table.

As I walk out of the driveway, I punch the code in and the guards open the gate. They look at me with raised eyebrows, knowing I must be sneaking out because Jason would never let me go somewhere without him. "Be back later." I mumble walking out of the gate and down the street.

I soon reach the bus stop and the bus comes a few minutes later. Climbing on, I scan my bus pass then make it to the back seats. An old man with no teeth tries to smile at me nicely so I smile weakly back before curling up far away from him.

About 30 minutes later, I arrive at where I want to go. Walking out of the bus, I begin my trek up the long country backroad/driveway. It was Saturday so I knew they would be home. Seeing the small cute cottage up ahead, I take off running, excited to see them since I hadn't for two months.

I unlock the door with my key and step into the cool air conditioned house. It was unusually quiet for a Saturday morning. I was confused until I looked down at my watch and saw it was only 7 am. Yeah, Jason likes to kill early.

I tiptoe upstairs and into my parent's bedroom. I silently awed at them as they were cuddled up close and sleeping quietly. I slowly take off my shoes and climb onto the bed. I somehow am able to wiggle in between them and bury myself into my daddy's chest. They both sigh sleepily and cuddle closer to me, not waking up. I inhale my daddy's scent deeply and sigh in relief as it makes me feel safe and at home. My daddy could always make me feel better. He was my best friend. After a few minutes, his scent relaxes me so much, I fall into a deep sleep.

"Well...this is odd..." I hear a familiar voice speaks. "Well she is your child, Justin. After almost 18 years with you, nothing is odd to me anymore. " I hear my mom tease and my dad giggles, pulling me closer to him and kissing my hair. "She's just my sweet wittle baby girl." My dad says in a baby voice as I snuggle deeper into his chest.

"I wonder why she's here? She doesn't look like she has been crying or anything." My mom says caressing my cheek with her fingers. "Who knows.. I'm just glad my best friend and cuddle buddy is here to see me." My dad laughs, squeezing me a little. "Can't a girl come see her parents without being questioned or have a reason? Maybe I just missed you." I finally speak up but it was muffled in my dad's chest. "Ooh she lives." My dad teases while playing with my hair.

I giggle before sitting up and pushing the hair out of my face. Suddenly my hands are grabbed and I'm yanked toward my dad. "What the hell happened to your wrists?" He growls gently caressing the bruises from Jason dragging me out of the restaurant at Disney World. "I f-fell?" I try to sound confident but it comes out as a question. "Okay. I'll believe that for two seconds, now what really happened?" He looks at me with that scary stern look that he rarely uses. I quickly come up with a lie. "Carter and I were spinning each other around in a circle and he accidentally grabbed onto my wrists too hard." I say.

He looks at me sternly and scans my face and eyes to see if I'm lying. I almost crack until he sighs and gives in. "Okay, but if I find out that fucker touched you again, I'll kill him with my bare hands. You're my little girl and as your daddy, I have to protect you." He says before grabbing me and crushing me to his chest.

"Hey mister, she's mine too." My mom growls playfully, jumping at us on the bed and ripping me away from him, tucking me under her chin. I giggle at the look on my dad's face. "NO!" He screeches, yanking me back to him. "She's my precious." He caresses my face and speaks like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. I just giggle as my parents fight over me. I always feel loved when I am here.

Suddenly someone starts pounding on the front door. "Juliet Rayne McCann, you better get your little butt down here." I hear the unmistakable voice of Jason McCann yell from downstairs and outside. He likes to call me a 'McCann' because I practically was and I was his. My mom giggles and pushes me off the bed, making me land on the floor on my stomach. My mom and dad both lean over the side of the bed and giggle. "Better go cool down, Mr. Obsessive Jackass." Dad teases as my mom smacks my butt.

I yelp and playfully glare at them as I stand, dusting myself off. "Kitten, you have ten seconds before I bust this door down." Jason yells again as I run down the stairs and to the door. "Somebody's in trouble." My mom playfully sings, walking into the kitchen to get her morning coffee.

I slowly unlock the door and open it. I was surprised to see a smiling Jason instead of a fuming one. "Babygirl!" he yells grinning, grabbing me and spinning me around. I am so confused right now. "Um Jason, are you okay?" I ask concerned. "Yeah, I just wanted you to open the door faster so I could see your perfect self. I'm actually glad you left the house even though you should have told me." He playfully glares before continuing. "I didn't want you to hear all that anyway." He sighs picking me up and settling me on his hip, walking to the kitchen.

"-you better behave." I see my mom poking my dad's chest with her finger and glaring at him sternly. He pouts and nods, rolling his eyes. "No promises." he grumbles. "Jason!" My moms says fake excitedly when she sees us standing there. "Mrs. Bieber! I brought you flowers." He hands her the bouquet. Where in the Sam Hill did he get those? "Aww that is so sweet, honey." She grabs them from his and sniffs them before sighing dreamily. "Thank you so much. And remember, I told you to call me Bella! Mrs. Bieber makes me feel old." She laughs, pulling down a vase and putting the flowers and water in it.

Jason chuckles and nods before nuzzling my face with his. "I missed you.." he coos, attacking my face with kisses. I squeal and laugh trying to get away from him as he starts tickling my sides as well. "J-Jay Jay s-stop!" I squeal trying to smack him away. "But you are so kissable!" he laughs as he starts kissing my lips, making me kiss back and wrap my arms around his neck to make it deeper. A throat soon clears loudly and obnoxiously as a lemon hits me in the side. I yelp, pulling away and staring at the lemon then at my dad, who had a sassy "Yeah I threw it. What are you going to do about it?" look on his face.

"Ow?" I say. "No kissing in my kitchen." He sasses before walking out, his hip swinging and flipping his fake long hair. Jason and I look at each other weirdly before busting out laughing. I love my family.
