Where is Your Heart? // Jason McCann

Chapter 19

Autumn

The next day Jason, Seth, and I went back to school, just like Jason had said we would. When we got there, Emily and Amy immediately starting throwing questions at me left and right. Jason just chuckled and walked away, still avoiding contact with me during school hours.

"Seriously where were you?!" Emily exclaimed. "We were so worried!"

"You never replied to our texts!" Amy added in.

I laughed nervously, not sure what I would tell them. "I'll tell you at lunch, but right now I gotta go."

"Alright." They agreed. "Bye."

~~

At lunch I told them that I was staying at my aunt's house for a few days. I hate lying to them, but they didn't need to know about all the crazy things that are going on in my life.

"Oh." They simultaneously responded.

"So..." Amy awkwardly said, trying to start another conversation.

"How are you and Jason?" Emily suddenly asked.

"Jason?" They nodded. "Well... We haven't really been talking."

"Oh." They mumbled disappointedly.

"Do you and Seth still talk?" Amy asked.

"Not really." That was true, Seth and I haven't been talking at all.

"Did you at least kiss one of them?" Emily asked hopefully.

I bit my lip to fight back a smile as I thought back to Jason and I's first outside my house. "No, I didn't."

"Oh." Was all I got in reply.

~~

After school I walked back to Jason's house. He said he would drive me back, but he had some errands he needed to run real quick with Seth.

When I walked into the house the first thing I heard was groaning and complaining.

"We don't have any food!" I heard Jordan groan and a slam follow after, I assumed it was him closing the cabinet.

Walking into the kitchen, I found Jordan and Marcus scouring the cabinets, only to be disappointed with nothing.

Jordan was the first to notice my presence, and he instantly got excited when he did. "Autumn!"

"Hey "

"Can you get us food?" He asked while Marcus stayed quiet and just stared at me.

"Um... sure." I said, feeling slightly intimidated by Marcus.

"Thank you!" Jordan said as I was walking out the door.

~~

Since I didn't have a car, and I wasn't sure if the guys would let me borrow their car, I walked. I got to the cross walk across the street from the grocery store. I pressed the button for the street I was about to cross and waited. Looking across the street towards the store, I saw a man at the other side of the crosswalk. The man looked up at me and smirked, making me gasp and my heart stop as immediatly recognized him. His tousled brown hair, glistening green eyes, perfect cheek bones.

The light changed from a hand to a person walking, signaling that it was safe to walk across the road. I immediately ran back towards Jason's house, looking back every few seconds to see if he was behind me, but he was gone.

When I got back to the house I slammed and locked the door behind me, leaning against it as I tried to catch my breath.

"Autumn?" Jordan's voice echoed in the hall. He came out of the living room and looked confused when he saw me. "You okay? Where the food?"

Shit.

"Um... yeah. I just..." I thought of a lie quickly. "It's really sunny out, and I meant to grab my sunglasses, but I forgot them. So I came back to get them."

"Oh." Jordan said.

I pushed myself off the front door and jogged up the stairs to my room, shutting the door behind me. I took out my phone and called Jason, he picked up after the second ring.

"Hello?"

"Jason."

"Autumn, what's wrong?"

"It's Trevor." I said. "I saw him."

~~

After my phone call with Jason, he immediately came home and bombarded me with questions. First their were about if I was okay, then he asked me where and when I saw him. I assured him I was fine, just a little scared (that was an understatement though, I'm terrified) and gave him all the details of the incident.

He sighed and pulled me into his embrace, kissing the top of my head. "Are you sure you're okay?"

I nodded into his chest, closing my eyes. "I'm fine, I'm just worried that he'll-"

"He's not gonna do shit to you." Jason interjected. "I promise."
