"A new beginning."

___________________________

- JUST IN CASE YOU NEED A RECAP.
Jason and Ariana fought, told each other they like one another, made up and kissed (more like made out aggressively) and then Jason's ex girlfriend rang. And there you have it babies. I love you all, sorry for the wait.)

Jason's face changed completely - his eyes were filled with confusion and he scratched the back of his neck. I understood why. It's not everyday your ex-girlfriend calls you, unless, you know, she's crazy or for what ever other reason.

Jason looked over at me, his honeycombed eyes meeting mine, as if he was asking for permission. I looked back at Ryan, not wanting to look at Jason's pleading eyes any longer. It. wasn't because I was angry, I just didn't know what to say. Would it bother me if Jason talked to the ex-girlfriend that was once known to be bad for him.

"Um," Jason mumbled, dragging out the end as he looked at the phone in Ryan's hand. "Uh, do you know what she wants or why she's calling?"

"No, Jason." Ryan sighed, rolling his eyes. "I really don't want to talk to her. So either you grab the phone - talk to your ex or I simply hang up. You know she's a bitch to me."

Jason stifled a laugh but stopped when Ryan glared at him.

I was hoping in my heart that the phone call wouldn't bother Jason, that he wouldn't care if he was going to talk to his ex-girlfriend for or not. I just hoped that this would be the case.

I could feel Jason's eyes on me as I bit on to my lip, not knowing what to feel about this situation. I then felt Jason place his hand on my thigh, he gently rubbed it and that made everything in me feel much better.

But in one quick swift movement, Jason stood up, walked over to Ryan and grabbed the phone out of his hands.

"Hi." I heard Jason speak, as he walked down the hall. It made my stomach drop and I pulled my knees up to my chest as Ryan left the room as well, closing the door.

Why would he want to talk to his ex? Did he still have feelings for her? Maybe he just wanted to talk. Maybe he missed her. I sighed, feeling my eyelids become heavy as I laid down in Justin's bed. My mind was racing and it was exhausting. Sleep didn't take it's time to come to me.

When I woke next, I heard Jason's voice but it wasn't morning nor was Jason next to me. The lights were off and only the moon was giving the room some light - no one was here and the party that was going on before was over.

"Listen, you're my ex for a reason." Jason's voice was getting closer, but he was slightly whispering.

God, how long had they been talking for? I felt jealously in me. I also felt stupid. Maybe Jason did have feelings for her and I was a distraction. But if Jason missed her, there wasn't much I could do.

But that didn't make sense after everything he confessed to me today. He told me he liked me. And I liked him too.

I lifted my head slightly to look at the time.

12:17am

They had been talking for nearly two hours.

Before I could think about this situation any further, I saw Jason enter the room and I quickly closed my eyes, pretending to be a sleep so he wouldn't notice I had woken. I didn't want to listen to the conversation he was having with his ex, scared of what he might say.
