Chains Around My Heart (A Jason McCann Love Story)

Chapter 14

Madison's Point Of  View

I woke up to the sound of heavy footsteps. My eyes slowly flutter open as I tried to snap into reality. I rubbed my eyes and glanced at the digital clock on the night stand which said 6:30 am. Why is Jason up so early? I thought he wasn't a morning person at all. I sat up and stretched my arms and legs before I stepped on the cold hardwood floor with my bare feet. I was dressed in a light blue tank top and some bagging grey sweatpants so I was freezing.

I made my way over to the door and opened it slowly. I poked my head out the door. No one in the hall way to be seen. I walked over to the top of the stairs and I see Jason shirtless, only wearing skinny jeans and his supra shoes, pacing the living room back and forth in deep thought. What was he doing? I eyes wandered to his stomach where his beautiful abs are. I small smile came upon my face. Oh gosh he's so sexy.

I quietly went down the stairs and stood at the bottom. He didn't even notice me. We kept on walking and he looked like he was thinking really hard.

"Jason?" I blurted out.

Immediately, his head spun towards me and a smile appeared on his face.

"Morning baby" he said with a kissy face. I giggled as I ran towards him. I was wrapped in his arms as he pecked my lips gently.

"Why are you awake so early?" I asked, poking his chest playfully.

His grip around my waist tightened and he looked down at me making eye contact.

"I'm just planning some stuff" he said.

I gave him a curious look and shook my head. Was he planning to do another bombing?

"About what?" I asked.

"Nothing." he answered back, as he bit his lip.

Obviously, something was going on and I wanted to get it out of him.

"Nothing? You looked stressed out babe" I said.

He sighed and dropped his head so his eyes are no longer looking into mine.

"You don't need to worry about it. Just go do what you do." he said as he let go of me.

Sheesh, someone was grumpy. I don't want to be too nosy but he is my boyfriend now and he should trust me already.

He sat down on the couch and he scribbled something down on his notepad and kept on thinking. He never acted like this before. Since Nate is gone, he acts different.

I decided to find out about this later. I was still sleepy and tired.

"I'm going back to bed." I said as I ran up the stairs.

I closed Nate's door behind me as I jumped in bed. I pulled the blanket up to my neck and I closed my eyes for a while. I tried to fall back sleep but I just couldn't. I guess I was completely awake. I got out of bed and went into the washroom to take a hot shower and get ready. Since we're going to be in the house all day, I wore a pair of Jason's sweatpants that fit me and a blue t-shirt that I found in Nate's drawer. Jason should seriously take me out to buy my own clothes.

After all that, I walked down the stairs to find Jason not there anymore. I looked all around the living room and the kitchen but no sight of Jason.  Where could that boy be?

Something caught my eye. On the counter in the kitchen, there was Jason's notepad and  big case under it. It didn't hurt to look. Jason is not here anyways. I sat on one of the stools and picked up the notepad.

"Plans for tonight" it read.

Without hesitation, I opened the black case and shock to see what was in it.

3 handguns

1 sharp knife

1 ski mask

and loads of bullets.
