Jasper

     I hold Hunter's hand as I drive my mom's car.

     "Where are we going at 9:pm?"

     I don't answer.

    "Jazz?"

    "Yes?"

    "Do you love me?"

     "That shouldn't be a question. Of course I do."

     "Then can you tell me where we're going?"

     "No." I smirk when he whines. "You're not going to get anywhere by doing that." I feel his hand leave mine and migrate to my thigh. "I'm driving."

     "So?"

     "Stop." I say with a smile.

     He leaves his hand there as I keep driving.

     I pull into a parking lot as the time shows 9:23pm. "Let's go." I get out and open the car door for him.

     "What's going on?" He asks as he gets out and follows me inside.

     "Dinner." I take him to a table and sit with him. "I tried not to go too fancy..."

     He grins at me.

     "What?"

     "It's amazing. You're amazing." He squeezes my hand and sighs. "I'm glad I got to see you."

      "So am I." I pull my hand away as we're handed menus. "I wanted to make tonight special for you."

     "It's already special, you didn't have to do this..."

     "I wanted to." I smile as we order and I quickly run to the bathroom. I throw up a little and wash my face. I leave the bathroom and go back to our table, my vision a bit blurry.

     "Jasper?"

     "Yeah?"

     "Are you feeling okay?"

     I nod and rub my stomach.

     He reaches over the table and touches my forehead.

     I watch his eyes change.

     "You have a fever...Jazz, why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling okay?"

     "I feel fine."

     He stops bugging me and we eat. He grabs my keys and heads to the car.

     "Hunter..." I try to get the keys and I sigh when we reach the car. I get in and he starts the drive. 

     "Do you feel any better?"

     "I feel fine."

     He goes quiet.

     "Oh no..." I sit up and hold onto my stomach. "Pull over..."

     He does as I say and I get out of the car and fall to my knees as I throw up everything I just ate. He gets out of the car and sighs as he helps me up once I'm done. "Why are you forcing yourself to eat when you don't feel okay?"

     I wipe my mouth and cough. "I..."

     "Don't say you're fine because you obviously aren't." He touches my stomach and I wince. "Jasper, talk to me..."

     I hug him and nuzzle closer.

     "Jazz, we have to communicate." He whispers and holds me. "You know that...so, why are you doing this?"
