Where is Your Heart? // Jason McCann

Chapter 16

Autumn

When we got to his house Jason showed me which room I would be staying in.

"My room is right next door if you need anything." He told me. "And the bathroom is also next door, but on the other side." He scratched the back of his neck. "You can put your clothes in the drawers if you want... Make yourself comfortable."

I smiled appreciatively. "Thanks." I unzipped my duffel bag and began taking stuff out.

"Do you need any help?"

"No, I think I got it."

"Alright." He said. "Well, I'll be in my room if you need me." He started to walk out.

"Okay." I replied, opening one of the drawers of the dresser and stuffing some of my clothes in it.

I finished unpacking my stuff and went to Jason's room to see what he was up to. When I got to Jason's room the door was open, so I peeked in. He was sitting on his bed with his laptop in front of him. I knocked on the door frame to let him know I was there.

His head shot up to look at me and he smiled when he saw it was me. "Hey."

"Hi." I said shyly.

He chuckled softly. "You can come in you know." I bit my bottom lip nervously and joined Jason on his bed. "What's up?"

I shrugged. "I was bored and wanted to see what you were up to."

"I'm trying to find out where this guy is hiding." He said, refocusing his attention on his laptop.

"Oh." I said. I tried to see what he was typing, but I couldn't since I didn't have my contacts in. I squinted my eyes, but it didn't help at all. Sighing, I said, "I'll be right back."

He just nodded in response, so I got up from his bed and went back to the room next door. I searched throught my duffel bag for my little box that holds my contacts. My toiletries and contacts were the only things left in my bag.

Finally finding the small box, I opened it, but it was empty. I completely forgot I used my last ones today. I tossed the box back onto the bed, then I saw my glasses. I've been looking for those everywhere, I must've left them in my bag when I slept over at Amy's house the other day.

I grabbed them and placed them on the bridge of my nose, everything instantly became clearer. I really didn't want Jason to see me like this, but if I didn't wear them I wouldn't be able to see much.

I walked back into Jason's room and sat were I was previously sitting. For a few minutes Jason didn't seem to notice I was back. I looked at what Jason was doing on his laptop. On the screen there was a map of the state of California and a loading sign.

Suddenly he looked at me with surprise written all over his face. "You wear glasses?" He didn't seem to notice my snooping.

I nodded. "Yeah, but I never wear them to school. I would be wearing contacts right now, but I don't have anymore."

"Why don't you wear your glasses more often?" He asked.

I sighed, laying down on his bed. "I hate my glasses, I would get different ones, but there aren't really any good-looking glasses so I'm stuck with these." I told him. "Plus my mom won't let me get new ones."

"Why do you hate them so much?"

"Cause I look terrible in them."

He leaned down so his lips were just centimeters from mine, his eyes scanning over my face. "You're beautiful no matter you wear."

I could feel a blush form on my cheeks as looked up at him. Before I could reply he placed his lips on mine, taking me by surprise, but I wasn't complaining. My fingers ran through his hair as he teasingly bit down on my bottom lip. Pushing his laptop aside, he crawled on top of me so he was hovering over me. His groin slightly brushed against my thigh, making me gasp.

Flashback

"Baby, don't you love me?" He asked sadly as he slowly walked closer to me, making me back up.

"Of course I do." I quickly responded. "I'm just not ready for that yet, I'm sorry. Just give me some more time, please." I continued to back up until the back of my knees hit the edge of the bed.

"I can't wait any longer." He said, his voice becoming lower with lust as he pushed me down onto the bed. He hovered hovered over me as he began kissing my neck, his groin pressing against my thigh.

"Stop." I pleaded. "Please, I'm not ready."

"Too bad." His husky voice whispered in my ear as his unbuttoned my jeans.

"No!" I cried and try to push him off, but he was too heavy and strong.

He pinned me to the bed, one of his large hands held my hands above my head while the other pulled my jeans off my legs. His knees dug into my thighs to keep me from kicking him off. I cried for him to stop as he continued to touch my body. "Damn, you're such a beauty."

I gasped at the horrendous memory and quickly got out from underneath Jason, moving towards the door.

"Autumn, what's wrong?" Jason asked, getting up from his bed and walking towards me.

I put my hand out to stop him. "I just- I can't-" I stammered, the flashbacks taking over my mind as they replayed over and over again. I shook and my head and bolted out of his room, running into my own and locking the door behind me.

Jason banged on the door a few times before yelling, "Autumn! What happened?! What's wrong?!"

I began to hyperventilate as His voice continued to play in my head. Leaning against the door, I slid down until I was sitting on the hardwood floor. I brought my knees up to my chest, hugging them as tears brimmed my eyes. "I'm fine." I lied. "I just- please, just leave me alone."

I heard Jason sigh on the other side of the door. "Okay."
