I'm Always Right By: Aleshia Bookram

chapter 8

Jason's point of view

I followed behind Abby. Honestly Jade is really pissing me off. She's trying to break up my family and I won't let that happen.

" what do you think about take-out for dinner.?" Abby asked. More relaxed than 20 mins ago. I can tell she is still quite shaken.

"sure but only if it's Wendy's. I'll pay." I respond trying to break the tension.

" alright deal. I'll be back." I kissed Abby before she left then went into the living room.

" so Jay Jay I heard you and your little witch. I know why the door was locked." Jade laughed.

" why do you care so much? Abby told me that you have a boyfriend." I added.

" Jason don't you get it. I love you and it's always gonna be you." I want to respond but I was interrupted by her lips crashing to mine. But I didn't pull back we stayed like that for almost a minute. It just all came back the love, the passion, the high school romance and it was comfortable like nothing changed. We were happy going to bars and clubs and doing stupid daring things. Then Abby's face appeared and then I finally realized what I was doing and was interrupted by Amelia thankfully.

" mommy mommy can we watch a movie with Kirean."

" of course honey." I looked at Jade and my eyes widened as I turned and took sight of Abby standing by the sink face full of tears, like water had splashed right in her face.

Jade's point of view

I sit there laughing to myself as I try to figure out how to work this DVD player for Amelia and Kieran. I couldn't help the giggles as Abby stared at my daughter cluing in this is Jason's little girl, his actual firstborn. I'm enthused to know that she can see how much Jason and I care about each other. Poor gullible Abby. Now I overhear crying . I figured it's best to take the kids out so they don't hear the commotion. I grabbed Kieran gave Jason a motion informing him i'm taking the kids out. He gave me a pathetic nod like looking at me was taking him from his poor, sad, pathetic life. As I walked through the door I started thinking about how I will play this out. Should I just come out and tell Abby the truth about Jason? Or should I tell her the guy I was with David, wasn't the father. I started dating him right after Jason left me. Yes I was young and pathetic. I figured I can't do this alone and I won't. This isn't just my responsibility it's Jason's too! But he's just as pathetic I know it's the reason Jason left me because I told him that I was pregnant with his baby. But poor little Jason couldn't handle it. I want my family back together and hearing Jason and Abigail fight is like music to my ears. It seems I have Abby right where I want her. She's too stupid to kick us out and too gullible and Jason will follow to my every command because he won't want to lose POOR Abby.
