Jason + Jessica - Chapter Three

Jason was wearing a plain black hooded jumper under his school shirt; the hooded jumper covered his eyes. He was listening music on his head phones however the song wasn’t on too loud. Jason could still hear the thunder cracks and the rain pouring from the sky as it hit him, he could still feel the pain in heart yet gladness as he thought about the mysterious girl who entered his life.1

As he was walking he noticed cracks on the tiles below him, he remembered a nursery rhyme which the children used to sing.
‘Mind the cracks or break your mothers back’ Jason thought to himself, he stepped on the cracks purposely as he skipped he bumped into someone.2

‘Sorry!’ Jason said immediately while staring at the tiles below him as he cursed in his thoughts.
‘Its okay, I wasn’t watching where I was going’ she whispered while bent down to pick her things up. Jason crouched in front of her helping her with the books. As he got up and looked at her, he noticed she was the girl from English class. She was wearing blue skinny jeans and black raincoat while her wet brown hair sat on her shoulders, Jason noticed that her make up was smudged while her eyes were bloodshot she caught his eye which made Jason look upon her chest after a few seconds of awkwardness he couldn’t help staring at her chest.
She coughed deliberately which forced Jason to look up straight. 3


‘Hey’ he said quietly, the girl smiled at him as she looked into his sparkly blue eyes that were half covered by his hoodie and hair.
‘My names Jason’ Jason introduced himself hoping she would remember as he passed her the books.
‘Jessica’ she introduced herself and smiled. Jason smiled as he finally found out his crushes name.
‘I gotta go… so see you around?’ Jessica spoke softly; Jason smiled and nodded as she left. He turned around to the direction she turned.4

‘I’ll see you around’ he whispered and continued to walk to his grandmother’s house. While he walked Jason couldn’t stop thinking about Jessica, he hoped he would meet her again… without the rain.5

Jason hadn’t been to his grandmother’s house since the death of his father yet his still knew the house as if he already lived there. He took a right turn and went straight on as he noticed a blue door coming towards him. The neighborhood still looked the same. Jason pushed the gate open and went into the doorstep; he slipped his hood off and rang the doorbell.6

‘Aw your soaking wet dear, you must be freezing’ Jason’s Nan made a fuss about him; he slipped his trainers of while his Nan took his jacket of.8

‘So how are you Nana?’ Jason asked as he hadn’t spoken to her for awhile.9

‘I’m doing fine dear, come up stairs… I got your room ready’ Nana smiled as she led him upstairs.
They went into the first room on the right which was decorated crème with a king size bed. He had a study table on right while his wardrobe was on left near his bed; he smiled at Nan and went near her.10

‘Don’t Jason, I’m fragile’ Nana giggled as he hugged her tightly, Jason stopped hugging and held Nana’s hands while he looked into her bluish eyes, he smiled as tears filled up his eyes.11

‘Thank you Nana, I promise I’ll do anything for you… anything’ Jason spoke with passion as he sniffed to hold back his tears; Nana smiled and rubbed his cheek when he let her hands free.12

‘You could do one thing for me… as a way to repay me’ she spoke slowly to him while he nodded away.13

‘Anything… anything for you’ 14

‘Promise me you’ll get good grades, that you’ll go to college and university… promise me you’ll make me proud of you ….. Forever Jason’ she asked as she put her hands on his shoulders, tears poured from Jason’s eyes. He was crying because it was nearly too late, he was crying because it meant he had to focus everyday… he was crying because he didn’t know what he got himself into.15

‘Nana, I promise I’ll make you proud’ Jason vowed to his Nana.16

‘I’m home!’ Jessica shouted when she entered her house, she shut the door behind her and walked over to the kitchen. Her mother was sitting at the round brown coffee table while quietly sipping into her mug of tea, Jessica’s mother Lois didn’t look over to her daughter who was soaking wet yet she gazed to cup which she was slowly drinking from.18

‘Mom…I’m home’ Jessica quietly said to Lois yet Lois paid no attention to Jessica. Jessica stared into the thin air for awhile then walked over to the coffee table and sit in front of her mother.19

‘So...’ Lois spoke quietly
‘So…?’ asked a confused Jessica, she looked at her mother with one eyebrow up.20

‘Do you love him?’ Lois asked slowly while watching Jessica’s eyes, Jessica wondered about the question. She didn’t know the meaning of love since she didn’t believe in it however she knew that whenever ‘he’ was mentioned her heart beat increased… did that mean love?21

‘I don’t know Mom...’ Jessica paused as her mother looked at her with shocked eyes.22

‘I honestly don’t know’ she added to her answer, Lois mouth dropped and stared incredibly. Jessica giggled and grabbed her mother’s cup of tea and drinks some.23

‘Jessica, if you don’t love him then stop playing with him’ Lois said tenderly24

‘I’m not playing with him, he is… he broke up with me mom… he doesn’t love me!’ Jessica spoke tearfully, tears rolled from her eyes slowly while hitting the table hard. She sniffed as her mother moved near her to comfort her.25

‘I’m sorry dear, I am’ Lois quietly whispered into her ear while Jessica nodded as she hugged her mother for support. 26

‘I’m sure your prince charming is waiting for you; just take it slowly next time alright baby?’ Lois asked her27

‘Yes mom…I’ll take it slow’ Jessica whispered tearfully as she tried to hold back the tears but they wouldn’t stop. Ryan raced through her mind as her heart ached for him more, she knew how much she loved him even though he dumped her. Ryan and Jessica have been through a lot, her family welcomed him with closed arms. 28

The family didn’t want their 17 year old to go out with a 21 year old man which made it even better for Jessica as she saw him forbidden. The family was taken by surprise when she accidentally said she already had sex with him… yet it wasn’t the first guy as well. Her father Ian was very upset about it which meant he didn’t talk to her, this made her even more determined to stay with Ryan.29

‘Jason dear, its dinner time’ Nana called from the kitchen. Jason got up from the couch and turned the television off as he walked over to kitchen which was next to the living room, he could smell the food from where he was as the his mouth started to get watery. Jason opened the kitchen door and saw his grandmother getting the plates ready; he went near the chair and sat down as she poured him a cup of tea. Jason would have helped her but she insisted as she had insisted on putting his luggage away.31

‘The food smells nice Nan’ Jason praised her while he got his phone out from his pocket and placed it on the table. Jason was wearing a black tee-shirt and grey combos while his hair brushed over his blue eyes.
Jason’s grandmother placed his food on his plate while she did the same to hers; she sat down and put the white napkin on her lap while Jason copied her moves. Jason got his knife and fork ready so he could eat the pasta his nana cooked.32

‘Don’t start Jason, lets say a little prayer first’ Nana spoke, Jason looked at her but put his cutlery down. His Nana closed her eyes while Jason followed her.33

‘May God bless us with this food, may God help us to swallow this food with pride and joy….. Amen’ Nana prayed while her head tilted Jason opened his eyes and repeated ‘Amen’ after her. They both started eating.34

‘So… Is there a girlfriend?’ Nana asked curiously which made Jason laugh.35

‘Nope… I haven’t got my eye on anyone’ Jason lied36

‘I’m sure girls bow down on your feet’s all the time’ Nana laughed while Jason pulled a face.37

When finished eating Jason got up to clear the plates, turned around and his phone started to vibrate. Jason held the plate with one hand while he flipped the phone open and stared at message which was sent to him. His mouth opened while his blue eyes opened in shock. The plate he held with his hand let go which caused the plate to smash on the floor, Nana looked at fear as one tear rolled from his eye.38
