HIM ♕ Jason McCann

Chapter Twenty Seven

The hot vapors felt from the shower relaxed Felicia as she thought about him. She wanted to feel his touch, flawless lips on her skin. She wanted him so bad that it was not explainable. Unfortunately, she had to quickly remove herself from her thoughts as her parents had asked to come downstairs immediately. The sudden call from her parents made her feel anxious as to what they were going to say that. It had to be about her, about her behavior. She closed her eyes at the thoughts, enjoying every last drop of water from the tap. 

A while later, she made her way towards the living room, fiddling with her fingers, nervously. She prayed hardly, hoping they had not discovered any of the actions then they already know. Seated on the couch were her parents, as their lips moved while talking about something seriously, which Felicia was enable to make out. Either way, their facial expressions indicated that they were rather serious and somewhat unhappy. 

Felicia cleared her throat, showing them that she was present at the moment. Their heads soon turned towards her own as they motioned her to get seated as well. Comfort was definitely not something she needed the most at the moment, but the assurance that their parents hadn't found out more than she wanted them was needed. Regardless, she placed herself on the couch, biting her lip, restlessly as she caught her breath. 

"Felicia, I think you know why you're here." Her father spoke up in the silence. She met his eyes which displayed a sense of disappointment. Felicia nodded her head, slowly, trying to slow down the heartbeat which was quickening with each second, passing by. Her father faced his mother for a moment, while whispering something inaudible in her ear. Felicia's mother nodded forcefully, probably trying to get the courage to say something. 

Felicia's mother turned towards Felicia as she held her hands. "Felicia, you were not being yourself for the past few days. Am i Right?" Unsure of what to say and where this was going, Felicia nodded her head, hoping that was the answer her mother wanted to hear. And, i know you won't repeat anything i saw in that auditorium that day, again. You broke our trust, but as parents, it is our duty to rebuilt their trust with their kids. We want to give you a second chance, Felicia." With ending that sentence, Felicia's mother pulls Felicia into her embrace, whilst stroking her hair, gently. 

Felicia relaxes at her touch, relieved to find out it was not another problem, but a forgiveness. Something she'd hoped the most since the past few days. Maybe, things were really starting to go back to normal, she thought. She let her hands fall around her mother, pulling her closer to herself, as if she was trying to take away all the pain that her mother had felt. 

Felicia's father soon joins them as they enjoy each others' embrace, trying to relieve all the stress they had felt for past rough week. However, the feeling of guilt has once again, began burying itself in her heart. Was she making a mistake? She asked herself the question, often and over and over, again. But, her heart was telling otherwise. That she was not making a mistake, but for once, letting someone she admired the most into her life. Somehow convincing herself,f she mollifies into the touch of her parents, glad that the pain was all over. Glad that she had finally rekindled her relationship with her family. After all, they were the ones who had been there for her since the beginning. 

She gets out there embrace to see their faces, softened and back to their tender and loving form. She smiled at them and just as she was about to get up, she stops herself. 

"I'm sorry, Ma and Pa." She felt as if the apology was the least she could tell them, after all the pain she put them true. Her parents smile widely at her words and accept the apology. They nod and mouth that it was alright and go back to what they were doing just before this conversation had happened. Felicia chuckled at the normality of the house taking it's place, once again as the atmosphere was filled up with cheer and optimism.

Felicia is met with the cold silence of the house as she steps out the door, after finishing her homework which was kept pending for long. She notices a little note stuck on the fridge, as she walks towards it and grabs it up to read it.

Your father and I left for a little dinner in a colleague's house. Hopefully, you'll stay safe and abide by the rules.
- Ma & Pa.

The little note was enough to have her running back upstairs, and settling on the bed to keep a look out on the window, hoping for him to appear behind it. Just as she was about to turn around, the knocks on the door overwhelmed her with a sense of happiness. He really did come.

Without any hesitation, she opened the window as she let him inside. The moment he stepped inside, his hands fell on waist, pulling her closer to himself and sweetly attaching his lips to hers. Love soon filled the air as both of them fell numb to each others' touch. Their lips sparkled with endearment.

Or so, she thought.

"I love you so much." She whispered, repeatedly against his lips, placing her hands on his cheeks, falling deeper into his honey eyes.

"I love you so much more, you can't imagine." Jason mumbled, his words almost inaudible. He brushed her lips against the soft of her lips, trying to get the most he can, with the time running out. He pressed closer to her, if that even possible, closing every single inch of the gap between them, as if trying to get rid of every single thing that was trying to seperste them.

Their interaction reminded Felicia of the song that Jason claimed he wrote for her. After all, his voice was something due to which, she admired him the most. The voice which made her melt. As she was not able to experience his performance previously, she thought this was the perfect time to hear that song. That song which meant so much to her, even if it wasn't sung to her, yet. The song which indicated a symbol of them being moulded into the idea of forever. Forever which could turn into an enternity of love and care.

"Jason."

"Hmm.

"Can you sing that song for me, now? The one which you said you wrote for me."

He nods at her, gladly accepting her offer. With that, he begins singing. Felicia feels her eyes flutter close at the beautifully sung lyrics, soothingly make their way into her ears.

Oh, your body is such a burn.
Spreadin' round the room like butter,
Nah nah nah, back down like a reactor.
You're so infectious.
Such an epidemic.
Man, everybody play with interest.
Cause I'm dead, only thing left to do is mourn.
Moment of silence.
If I'm dead, the only thing I could do is mourn.

However, the sudden pause causes Felicia to reopen her eyes, dissappointment present in her eyes as she wanted him to continue. "Jason, why did you—"

But, her sentence was cut short with Jason's lips on her neck. They trailed up her jawline and finally, toward her ear as she heard him whisper.

"Now, it's beyond late." He whispered the last line of the verse before simply attaching his lips to hers and pulling back instantly, not giving Felicia a chance to give back. The chills made their way up Felicia's spine, making her shudder. A cunning smirk made its way onto Jason's face as well, as his eyes turn darker. He looks fearfully handsome, Felicia thought. However, his next actions leave her utterly speechless.

He just made his way out of the window, closing it in the process, as he disappeared into the nightfall.
