One Life {finished}

Nineteen: The True Story

I felt light pushing and opened my eyes to a sad tired Derek with a coffee in his hands. I rubbed my eyes and he handed me a coffee. I didn't take it. I know I'm probably being annoying but he lied to me and right now I was scared. I took the coffee.

"How's Jason?" I took a sip of the coffee. "He lost a lot of blood. The doctor said there was little chances of him surviving."

"What? No" "Relax. I said there was." I immediately got up to see him but got held back by Derek. I turned to give him a death stare and he then let go.

"I've tried to get in there but they didn't let me. They said he wasn't stable to have anyone make him react." I sighed and crossed my arms.

"Come sit Caroline. I have to tell you. I have tp tell you the truth about this. The whole story and I'm risking myself right now. I could be killed any time soon if I tell you." I sat down on the chair next to him.

"Go ahead tell me."

"There's this thing Jason used to do for money. Well he got another job and this one was a big one. A ton of cash. That's all he ever did it for. For money since- did he tell you about his parents?"

"Yes he did" I remembered the day like it was yesterday.

"C'mon Jason tell me why I can't meet them." "Because you can't. I already made my decision."

Of course I wasn't going to let my stubborn mind let it go.

"Jasonnnnnnnnnnn! Please baby. Open up to me. I want to hear your feelings" He let out a huge sigh and then looked at the ground.

"We were going to my cousin's birthday party when my parent's started to argue. Well my dad got a call from his job that he had to go back. My mom got mad and then the fighting begun. The last thing I remember was the crashing sound...and the blood. I got rescued and survived the crash but....but my parents-" I immediately hugged him and he hugged me back.

"Jason you dont have to keep going. I'm sorry I made you talk about this."

"It's alright baby I told you something that affects me and I hope you can tell me everything too." I smiled and intertwined our hands looking at the sun start to set in.

"Ok since his parents you know. Well he did it for some cash and told me about it. At first I was angry and disappointed for what he did but I understood why and accepted the job. He had to...he had to kill you" I shook my head and felt my eyes start to swell up. The tears running down. Derek cleaned them and looked in my eyes.

"Don't. You haven't finished hearing the story. It was either me or him. I met you and couldn't do it. You are like my best friend I never had. I couldn't do it. That month I instantly loved you. Damn it. I decided to let Jason do it since he was the cold hearted killer. He met you in the hallway and I got him away from you. I didn't want him to hurt you so I wanted to hangout with you. He was going to kill you on your first date supposedly but I didn't know his intentions were different. He told me everything about it. How beautiful you really are and how he couldn't do it either. He kept talking to you and everyday his feelings grew Caroline. He fell in love with you. After you became his girlfriend, He told me about it, we went to end the job. Well I did because he never showed up. They didn't accept it and told me to do the job or they would have to do it themselves. I couldn't but I pretended to go as planned with them. Jason called me one day telling me how madly in love he was with you telling me to end the whole thing because they kept on bugging him. We decided to kill them yesterday but they beat us to it and he got stabbed." Everything made since now how they befriended me just to kill me. Yet again they loved me. I was done. I can't take it anymore.

"Why would you Derek? Why the both of you?"

"You don't understand Caroline. He had to do it and he was in a very bad place. I don't care if you forgive me just please forgive him. Don't make him turn into the hideous person he used to be." I noded and remebered Jason bleeding to death. I loved him more than anything in this world. I would always forgive him.

"Who are they? What would they want from me? Why would they want me killed?" Derek let out a sigh and dropped his head rubbing the back of his neck.

"There was this girl, Ariana and-" Ha that crazy bitch. Now everything made since. Everything fell right into place. She always hated me for no apperant reason.

"What Caroline?"

"That crazy bitch. How did she find you guys. Nevermind don't answer. I know exactly how." He smiled and I smiled back.

"Yeah she's crazy as fuck. How do you know her?"

"Back in Atlanta. She had a grudge against me. She hated me for no fucking reason. She always bullied me and made fun of me. I was finally done one day and was about to jump from a bridge and then I met Justin and he stopped me. He helped me and we fell in love with eachother. Ariana still bullied me and called me mean names. Justin always defended me and one day my heart shattered. Ariana mad it look like Justin cheated on me with her. I hated her and myself. That made me so self-concious I started cutting. He always came to me telking me it wasn't true and I loved him so much I forgave him because I believed him. When the truth finally came out I was more relieved and Ariana had calmed down. she wasn't bothering us anymore. Then I had to move here for business reasons my dad had and me trying to start over from my first heartbreak. I guess she moved here. That psychotic bitch."

"Wow. I didn't... know." I half smiled at him and then we heard the doctor calling.

"Caroline Monte negro?" We stood up and quickly walked to him.

"Yes?" I said worried.

"Jason had lost a plethora of blood but he's stable now. We've put him on medication for the pain but he'll be alright. He'll need to stay a couple days here and rest. He will need to rest for two weeks once he has been signed out. He wants to see Caroline. He doesn't calm down until he sees you." I looked at derek and he smiled nodding his head.

I walked behind the doctor into a room with pale walls and dark light. I truly hated hospitals. They are very depressing. They make you feel ill and sick to the stomach.

I walked in to see Jason crying and saying my name over and over. I quickly walked to him and hugged him.

"It's ok baby. I love you so much. You're alright." I grabbed his face caressing his cheek. He closed his eyes. His lips were a pale pink and he looked very tired.

"Caroline! I love you too. I can't do this without you. I love you so so so so so much." He could barely talk but I was so out of place and happy he was talking to me.

"Lay with me." He said it in a demanding but questioning way. He was adorable and I laughed nodding. He started to move a litlle but the pain was unbearable and he held his stomach.

"It's ok babe don't struggle." he didn't take a word because the next thing he said was that he was a man. He moved over to make space for me. I layed next to him taking his head in my chest. The monitor beeped faster and his cheeks turned red. I laughed and kissed him making the monitor beep faster.

I brushed his hair softly scraping my nails on his head. He closed his eyes kissing my chest.

"You smell like fruit." He giggled and twirled my hair. I laughed and realized that he was probably high on medication. I stroked his face and he closed his eyes.

"I love you more than you know Caroline" He said and fell asleep in my arms.

"I love you too Jason"

This book is finally coming to an end. Just three or four chapters left. Should I do a sequel or not. Derek still hasn't present the twin bet he will soon. Ariana is still alive and they need to find her before she finds them. Jason tho please comment and vote. Love you guys.
