-Bex wuvs u!

Mara's POV:

I got out of bed, happily. It was a beautiful day outside and the birds were chirping their sweet tune. I got my bass guitar and mimicked some notes. Today, Jason was coming round. I couldn't wait to see him. He's the light in my life. My parents are fine with me dating him so they invited him around. I didn't want to really have him round for dinner because of Ryan and Melanie, my brother and sister who were twins, would create havoc.

I had threatened them to behave or else I wouldn't give them car lifts to wherever they wanted in my Hummer that Mom and Dad got me for my 16th birthday. I put my bass down and went into my en-suite. I brushed my teeth and went to have a long hot shower.

I got out of the bathroom twenty minutes later. I walked into my wardrobe and looked around. Ha, Caitlyn's wardrobe was bigger than mine. I saw my beige and black dress with a cute collar and wore it with tights and beige and black bow ballet flats.

I plaited my hair and added a black ribbon to it. I put my makeup on, lightly and ran down the stairs. Jason should be here in ten minutes. We decided to have breakfast together so I got the ingredients for waffles out. I learned that it was Jason's favourite breakfast. Ryan came down and kissed my cheek.

"Oh, by the way, Grandmother and Grandfather are coming for dinner." He told me. My eyes widened. No! They can't. I couldn't blow off Jay for my grandparents who criticize everyone I socialize with. They would definitely won't approve of our relationship. My parents may be strict but they let me date who I want.

My grandparents want me to date and hopefully marry Chinese or Korean guys. So basically, Asian men. They've set me up with loads of guys before and I hate it so much! They start out to be kind but turn against me while I'm dating them. They become aggressive and judgmental and tell me who I should or shouldn't be with.

"Hello? Mara? Earth to Marolina Paves?" Ryan waved a hand in front of my face which caused me to come back to reality. "You spaced out. Are you ok?" He asked. Ryan was ok for a little brother. He was 15 and shy. But when it came to me and Mel, he would bounce of the walls in confidence.

"Yeah. Just a blank moment." I replied. He nodded and motioned to the ingredients.

"Can I help you guys? And have some after?" Ryan asked, kindly. I smiled and ruffled his hair.

"Sure thing, Ry. Hey, what do you think about Jason?" I asked him. Ryan looked off and smiled softly.

"He's good for you. You're thinking about Grandmother and Grandfather, aren't you?" He asked, looking back at me. I nodded. "Whatever they say, don't ever break up with him because you think they're right." He said, putting a hand on my shoulder. I kissed his head and hugged him. The doorbell rang and Ryan went to open it for Jay.

He and Jason came in a while later and Jason opened his arms out for me to run into. I kissed him and hugged him. "Hey...you see me all the time!" He laughed.

"What? Can't a girl show her man some love?" I smiled, looking up at him. We heard someone clear their throat and we blushed a bit.

"So, can we get started?" Asked Ryan. Jay nodded and went to put his coat away, when Ry offered. I smiled. I really do love my brother.

The doorbell rang and my mother went to answer it. "Ah! Lucy! My beautiful daughter." Grandmother exclaimed, coming into the living room with Grandfather and Mom trailing behind. "Now where are my three grandchildren, Marolina, Melanie and Ryan?" She said, spotting us standing in a line and Jason a bit behind us. Grandmother kissed our heads and hugged us.

I saw her glance at Jason and scrunch her face up in recognition. Before she could say something, Dad saved the day by hugging her and leading her to the dining room. "Mara, I know your grandmother won't approve but know we do." Mom said, giving me a quick hug. I nodded and held Jay's hand for support. We all made our ways to the dining room and Grandfather finally said something.

"So, Marolina? Who's this young man." I looked at Jay and he smiled at me. I looked at my parents and they smiled at me too.

"My boyfriend, Jason." I replied. Grandmother inspected him, disgusted.

"How old is he?" She asked as if he wasn't in the room. I saw Jason raise an eyebrow and reach out for his glass of water.

"24." Jason replied, sipping the cool liquid. Grandmother looked horrified.

"Who told you talk?" She asked in her broken English. I put my hand on my face and rested my elbow on the table. Embarrassing!

"Mother, please. We allow her to date him. You have no say. We're her parents." Mom said.

"Han, Lucy, how dare you?! You accept this nonsense? He older than her, 5 years!" Grandmother continued, "It sad! She should stick to tradition!" Ryan and Melanie were embarrassed too. They sent apologetic glances at Jay. He smiled softly in response then the smile went and he looked down. Ryan had had enough.

"Grandmother! All you do is criticize! I don't like it!" Ryan exclaimed. Grandmother's eyes widened.

"Now children speak back at me. You no teach them manners!" Grandmother continued in our native language and Mom and Dad were responding back to her. Ryan left the room to calm down after Mom told him to. I added some words here and there as Jason looked at me awestruck. I blushed and smiled lightly. Mel just continued to eat whilst sending kind smiles to Jay.

This evening didn't go down too well, let me tell you that. It ended up with me in tears and Jason leaving. Mom and Dad saying they don't want anything to do with Grandmother anymore and Grandfather confused at his old age. Ryan was upset with Jason's leave and Mel remained embarrassed of the whole situation.

...

"Mara?" Jason came from inside and found me on our patio with my blanket wrapped around me. I was crying softly. Jason wrapped his arms around me. "We need to talk." He said. I nodded, agreeing, on his shoulder.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I asked, sadly.

"We should break up." He said. I nodded and that brought a new set of tears back. "I'm sorry." he said, wiping my tears.

"No. I'm sorry." I replied. We kissed one last time and Jason said he had to go. We hugged for a long while and he left, kissing my head. I cried again and ran straight up to my bedroom. I saw my parents look at me guiltily and Ryan tried to hug me but I shook him off.

Life sucked. Grandparents sucked. I bet Caitlyn felt so sad when she and Nate broke up. In fact she did. I was there to experience them.

There you have it! I'm sorry! Maybe Jason and Mara will get back together in the future. You and I never know! x Well I do and I'm sticking to that decision ;P x
