"Why Me?"
It was the beginning of a new school year and students were running up to friends and greeting people everywhere you looked. Jason slipped his hat furthered down his head ignoring everything and everyone. Rushing inside the school he walked past his friends to his locker. Opening his locker he tossed some of his stuff in there and closed it. Walking straight to Ms. Darbus class he noticed that he was the first student there for the first time, he took his seat at the back of the class. Taking his seat in the back of the class he put his head down. Putting his ipod headphones in he stated blasting his music.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING……
Students started piling in the class and taking their normal seats. Troy and Chad walked in and dropped their stuff on their desk at walked over to Jason, Chad smacked Jason on his shoulder, "Yo Cross, where were you this morning?"
Looking up startled, Jason took his headphones off, "What?"
Troy chuckled, "Where were you this morning, you didn't meet us by the fountain like we always do every year."
Turning off his ipod he put it in his pocket and looked at Troy, "oh yeah, I forgot, sorry."
Chad looked at Jason in surprise, "You forgot, since when?"
Ms. Darbus walked into the class, "Everyone take a seat and settle down!"
Troy and Chad took their seats in front of Taylor, Jason pulled his cap a little further down his head. Tuning Ms. Darbus out Jason took out his notebook and started doodling. Gaby looked at Jason, she couldn't put her finger on it, but she sense something was different about him. Tapping Zeke's shoulder he looked over at her and she pointed to Jason. Shrugging his shoulder he turned his attention back on Ms. Darbus.
Listening to Ms. Darbus talk about last year's musical and what this year musical expectations were, entire class was bored.. Kelsi looked around the class, she saw Sharpay and Ryan texting on their phones, Martha listening to her ipod, Troy and Chad were playing hangman and Taylor, Zeke and Gaby were whispering to each other. Finally setting her eyes on Jason she saw him with his head down. A little surprised, she had never seen Jason like this, usually he would have asked Ms. Darbus a stupid question by now.
Everyone looked forward when a student walked in. She handed Ms. Darbus a pass and left. Ms. Darbus read the note, looking up, "Jason, you need to head over to the office."
Jason grabbed his folder and got up, grabbing the pass from Ms. Darbus he left the room without a second look. Heading to his locker first, he dropped all his stuff in and locked it. Walking over to the office he saw his older sister and younger brother waiting for him. Jaime smiled when she saw her brother, "hey bro, what's with the hat."
Jason pulled away from her, "leave the hat alone."
Looking at her other brother they shared a look. Coughing Matt stepped forward, "come on bro, we're meeting mom at the chapel. Let's go!"
Nodding his head they got Jason and Matt signed out and left the school. Walking over to their car they all jumped into Jamie's Mercedes.
Ms. Darbus Class….
Troy felt a tap on his shoulder, looking back at Chad he lifted his eyebrow. Chad leaned forward, "hey is it me or is Jason acting a little weird?"
Whispering back, "I noticed that, since when has Jason forgotten tradition?"
Leaning a little closer Chad whispered, "After class we'll ask the gang if they know anything."
Troy nodded his head and turned his head back to Ms. Darbus. For another 30 minutes they listen to Ms. Darbus talk about how theater was the life for everyone.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG……
Troy grabbed his stuff and ran out of the class followed closely by Chad. They both leaned against the wall outside of class and as their friends left class they motion they over. Once everyone was their, Troy asked the question that was on everyone's mind, "does anyone notice something wrong with Jason?"
Everyone nodded their heads. Gaby looked at everyone, "did anyone see him over summer vacations?"
Troy, Chad, Zeke shook their heads. Zeke looked at Gaby, "I spent my summer vacation at camp."
Troy shrugged his shoulders, "I spent it playing basketball and with you."
Gaby blushed. Chad smirked, "I spent mine playing basketball and seeing Taylor."
Taylor coughed, "how about you Sharpay? Ryan? Kelsi?"
The Evan twins shook their heads. Sharpay looked at Taylor like she was crazy, "we've never hung out with Jason alone. Maybe with you guys, but not by ourselves."
Everyone looked at Kelsi. She backed up a little from their stare. Blushing she looked down, "I saw him a few times. We spent some time together, but he had to leave quickly sometime during the summer. He never told me why he just said family emergency."
The girls looked at Kelsi in shock. Sharpay stepped up to Kelsi, "just the two of you, alone, spent time together?"
Backing up a little more she nodded her head. Looking around she noticed the halls getting empty, "Guys I got to go, I need to practice this music piece for Ms. Darbus, I'll talk to you guys later."
Turning around she ran away from them. Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Taylor crossed her arms across her chest, "is it me or is she hiding something too? Since when does Kelsi spend time with Mr. Cross?"
Gaby looked over to Taylor and Sharpay, "ladies I say we interrogate Ms. Nielson and get some answers from her!"
All the girls nodded. Waving to the boys they ran off after a running Kelsi. All the guys looked at each other, Chad groaned, "come on let's shot some hoops."
The guys nodded and waved bye to Ryan and headed toward the gym.
Jason…..
Jason was sitting next to his brother and sister and he was totally bored. He didn't see why he had to leave school to sit in a hard chair and listen to his mom talk about the wedding. Jason still wasn't happy about his mom getting married again. He knew he wanted his mom to be happy, but he barely knew this guy she was marrying. They had decided to get married in the fall and since the wedding was approaching very soon their mother thought that it was fine for them to miss a day of school. Feeling a poke he looked over to his sister, "what?"
Smiling at her little brother she motioned for him to follow her. Getting up the kids left their mom with the wedding planner. Once outside Jamie poked her brother again, "what's with you? You've been moody lately."
Crossing his arms he looked away from his sister, "it's none of your damn business."
Matt and Jamie shared a look. Matt smiled at Jason, "did you and your girlfriend have a fight?"
Jason blushed and glared at his brother, "I don't have a girlfriend!"
Matt smirked, "your telling me Kelsi isn't your girlfriend, and you've spent a lot of time together this summer."
Turning to face his brother, "she's not my girlfriend! She's my friend!"
Laughing Matt put his hands up, "calm down big brother. She's a girl and she's a friend so that makes her your girlfriend." Jason growled at his brother. Laughing Matt took Jason's hat and ran away from him, "you want it, admit Kelsi is your girlfriend or fight for your hat."
Jamie laughed until she noticed the bruise on his face, "Hey where did you get that?"
Covering the bruise with his hand, "it's nothing!"
Matt came closer and moved his hand away, "that's not nothing, what happen?"
Pushing his brother's hand away he grabbed his hat back. "it's stupid I hit myself in the face with the basketball…..I wasn't paying attention when I was shooting and the ball came back and hit me in the face."
They looked at Jason and started cracking up, Jason put his hat back on head and started growling. Jason's mom Jenny Cross came outside to find her kids messing with their brother. "Matt, Jaime, leave Jason alone. Jason, take that hat off this instant!"
Grabbing the hat off his head he put it in his back pocket. Matt and Jamie started chuckling at their sibling. Jamie grabbed Jason and gave him a hug, he tried to pull away but she hugged him harder. Groaning he gave up and let her hug him. Jenny smiled at her kids, "come on kids we need you to get hair cuts."
All the kids groaned, following their mom to their car they got in. First stop was the barber for Jason and Matt. The Cross family walked in. Mr. Anderson smiled at the family, "if it isn't the Cross family." They all smiled, Jenny walked over and hugged Mr. Anderson. Each kid gave him a hug. They have known Mr. Anderson all their lives. "What can I do for you guys?"
Jenny smiled at him, "the boys need a hair cut, and it's for a special occasion so I want their hair short."
Both boys groaned. Jason tried giving his mom his puppy dog look which worked on a lot of people, "mom I don't want my hair short. I like it long." Matt nodded his head in agreement.
Shaking her head she pointed to the chairs, "sit now! Short hair Mr. Anderson, I want to be able to see my boy's eyes."
Both boys groaned and took a seat. Mr. Anderson laughed and walked up to Jason, "so Jason how do you want it?"
Taking a deep breath, "Just cut it so I can spike it. Just not too short please."
Laughing he nodded his head. Grabbing some succors he started cutting his hair. Putting the scissors down he picked up a razor and started shaping his hair. Once done he brushed Jason's neck and shoulders. Grabbing the water bottle he sprayed Jason's hair and rubbed his hand through Jason's hair. Looking in the mirror he smiled when he saw how his hair was spiked. It was too short and not too long, it was perfect. Taking the apron off of him Jason took a seat next to his family. Matt chose the same style and once he was done, Jenny paid for their haircuts and everyone gave Mr. Anderson a hug goodbye. Walking out of the barber Jenny looked at her boys, "see that wasn't so bad."
Both boys rubbed their hands through the hair and sighed. Jason missed his hair already. The family got into the car and headed to the saloon for Jenny and Jamie to get their hair done. Both boys sighed in boredom, they have been there for over 1 and 1/2. Picking up another magazine Jason started scanning through it in hopes of finding something interesting. Feeling his pocket vibrating, he took his cell out and opened it. Smiling when he saw he had a text from Kelsi
Jase, are u coming back?
Kelsi
Smiling he texted her back.
I dunno, mom & sis getting hair done. Bored. Don't know when they'll be done. Miss you!
Jase
Closing his phone he looked up to see his mom and sister in front of him. Putting the magazine down he got up and followed them out. Jenny looked at both boys, "come on guys don't look so sad we weren't there for so long. Come on we'll get your ears pierced."
Both boys looked at her in shock. Jason looked at her mom, "really? I thought you hated it?"
Smiling she hugged both boys, "I know I do, but it's something your dad did when we were in high school so why stop tradition."
Jamie crooked her head, "tradition?"
Jenny smiled and nodded her head, "apparently your dad, uncles and grandpa each did this in high school so why stop the tradition. "
Both boys high fived each other. Getting into the car they drove to a tattoo and piercing parlor. Going inside Jason looked at his mom, "can I get a tattoo too?"
Jenny looked at her son and gave him a stern look, "you put something on your body before your 18, and you will not be playing basketball!"
Jason groaned, but smirked, "so only till I'm 18?"
Jenny let a smile appear, "when your 18 you can do it."
Jason smiled and hit Matt. Both guys high fived each other again. Jamie groaned. Jenny walked up to one of the workers. Paying for the boys to get their piercing. Jason went first, the one helping him smiled. She looked to be 23 years old and she had her hair up in a ponytail. She had her left lip pierced and was dressed in a gray tank top and blue jeans with white Adidas. She pointed at the seat, "first one?"
He nodded his head in excited me, "yeah I'm surprised my mom is letting me do this."
Laughing she grabbed the needle and some alcohol swabs. Placing them on the table she looked at him, "okay, what ear?" he pointed at his left ear. She smiled, "what did you want? A ring? a stud?" Looking at the displaced her picked a diamond stud. Grabbing the alcohol swabbed she started rubbing it on his ear. Placing the swab down she grabbed the needle and took it out of the package, "just to let you know, do not take the earring out for 3-4 weeks, you need to clean it everyday with alcohol. Make sure to turn the stud everyday. This is also going to hurt a bit."
Jason nodded and she stabbed the needle quickly and put the stud in. Grabbing a napkin she wiped away the blood and grabbed a new alcohol swab and wiped his ear. Throwing away the stuff she smiled at him, "your done send your brother back here."
Smiling he got up and looked at his earring. Walking over to his brother he pushed him toward the lady. Once they were done they left the parlor and heading to Denny's. Jenny looked in her rearview mirror and her sons, "after eating your heading back to school for your stuff."
Both boys groaned.
East High….
Kelsi was starting to get very annoyed. Everywhere she seemed to go the girls were there. They kept bugging her about Jason and asking what was up with them. She finally got to the point that she threaten Sharpay and Gaby that she was not going to talk to them if they didn't leave her alone. They finally left alone, but now the boys were following her. She was finally able to lose the guys when the final bell rang. Walking into the music room, Kelsi dropped her stuff on the floor next to the piano and took a seat. Letting out a deep breath she took out her phone. She saw she had a text from Jason and let a smile out.
I dunno, mom & sis getting hair done. Bored. Don't know when they'll be done. Miss you!
Jase
Giggling she responded back.
Jase help me! Girls and Guys R ANNOYING ME! SAVE ME NOW! Lol!
I miss you too. Get ur butt back now.
Kelsi
Putting her phone down she opened the keys and took her music out. Placing it on the stand she took a deep breath and started playing. Troy and Chad looked both ways. Kelsi had been in front of them a second ago, looking at Troy, "where did that small person go?"
Troy gave Chad a look and smacked him on the back of his head, "her name is Kelsi you dumbass!"
Rubbing his neck in embarrassment, "sorry….for someone small she moves pretty fast."
Nodding his head in agreement Troy thought for a second until he smacked himself on the forehead, "come on I know where she is. I can't believe we didn't check their first."
Grabbing Chad they ran in the direction of the music room. As they got closer they could here music coming from the room. Looking through the window the boys saw Kelsi playing. Smirking the boys open the door and snuck up to Kelsi. Since Kelsi was into her music she didn't hear them. Chad smirked at Troy and stuck his head near Kelsi's ear, "we got you trapped small person!"
Kelsi jumped and hit the wrong keys turning around she came face to face with Troy and Chad. Troy smacked Chad again. Laughing Chad grabbed the back of his neck, "I know….I know….Sorry Kelsi."
Giving Troy and Chad a suspicious look, "what do you want?"
Troy gave her an innocent smile. Taking a seat next to her she scooted over till she bumped into Chad. He had taken a seat on the other side of her, she was now trapped. Her eyes bulged out, she now knew they were up to something. Troy started playing a few keys, "so Kelsi…….where's Jason?"
Looking at Jason she shook her head, "I dunno."
Chad poked her, "we know you know where he is. Where? I'm not afraid to tickle…."
Looking at Chad in shock and then at Troy. Both boys had raised their fingers and started wiggling them at her in a threatening way. Gulping she had no where to go.
"uh…..what are you guys doing to Kelsi?"
All three turned around in surprise. Jason was starring at them suspiciously. Pushing Chad away from her he fell on the ground, ignoring him complain she ran up to him and grab his arm, "thank god your back."
Seeing laughter in his eyes, he looked at his best friends, "were you picking on Kelsi?"
Chad got up and brushed himself off, "no we were just entertaining her till you got back, where were you?"
Walking over to them with Kelsi still holding his arm he pushed Chad and started laughing, "with the fam…..you know doing some important errands."
Troy got up and smacked hands with Jason, "you had us a little worried this morning."
Laughing Jason grabbed the back of his neck and rubbed it, "sorry I was in a bad mood this morning."
Both boys looked at each other and smirked. Chad grabbed Jason's hat and tossed it to Troy. Both boys ran out of the room. Jason tried to grab it, but Kelsi pulled him back. Looking down at her, "what?"
Using one hand she rubbed his face, what happen to your eye?"
Jason looked away from her and blushed, "got hit in the eye with a basketball."
Giggling she brought his face to her. Brushing her hand through his hair, "I see someone got a hair cut…..did you pierce you ear?"
Jason let out a nervous laugh. Pulling his arm away from Kelsi he started backing up towards the door. "you know I should really get my hat back from those guys."
Turning around to make a run for it……
"Jason Andrew Cross get back here!"
Stopping her turned slowly around. Smiling innocently he walked back to Kelsi. "yes?"
Giving him a look, "what is going on with you? You left halfway through the summer without telling me anything and first day back your gone the whole school day. Our friends are annoying me asking what's up with you and…"
Pulling Kelsi into a deep a deep kiss, she forgot what else she was going to say. Blushing she hugged him and muttered softly, "I missed you."
Pulling her closer she smiled into her hair. Taking a deep breath. "I missed you too." Pulling away from her, "since school is out let me walk you home and we can talk."
Smiling at him she walked back to her music and started putting it in her bag. Picking up her stuff to put on her shoulder, he grabbed it from her and put it on his shoulder. Grabbing her hand they walked out the music room. Looking down at her, "need anything from your locker?"
She shook her head and he smiled. Walking out the school he spotted Chad and Troy with the gang. Troy had his hat on his head. Groaning he started walking toward them, but Kelsi pulled him back. Looking at her in question she smiled, "you can get it from him later, come on."
She pulled him away from the direction of the group and he smiled and let the small girl pull him away. Walking, Jason put Kelsi's bag higher on his shoulder and laced his fingers with Kelsi he smiled down to her. They both blushed and continued walking in a comfortable silence.
The Gang…
The girl's mouth dropped in shock. All the boys looked at them in worry. Chad started waving his hand in front of Taylor face. "Tay you okay?"
Smacking his hand away she smacked him. "do you mind!"
Rubbing his arm he looked at Taylor in annoyance. "What did I do now?"
Poking him, "we were watching Kelsi and Jason leave right now."
All the guys turned around and they got a glimpse of the couple walking away from them. Chad and Troy grinned at each other. Turning around they were about to chase the couple down. Taylor and Gaby grabbed their boyfriend's shirts and said together, "you do anything stupid I'm going to kick your ass!"
Boy boys gulped. Zeke smiled at his friends. "Just leave them alone, apparently Jason wants to be alone with her, if he wanted to talk to us he would have came over."
Chad crossed his arms and gave a sigh. "that's not fair, we always play basketball afterschool during the off season. Now he's going to be sucking faces with small person!"
Taylor, Gaby, and Troy groaned. They each smacked him.
"WHAT?"
They each gave him a look. Troy smacked him again, "I told you don't call her small person!"
Both girls nodded their heads. Taylor poked him, "how would you feel if you heard your friend calling your girlfriend small person?"
Chad looked at her in shock. "Girlfriend!?! Since when are they dating?"
The gang groaned. Sharpay shook her head. "I'm out of here, good luck with dumbass here."
Smiling she hugged the girls and left.
Chad's eyes followed her. He yelled after her, "I'm not a dumbass!"
Troy groaned. Grabbing Gaby's hand and motioning for Zeke to leave, "we're out. Good luck Taylor."
The three of them left and heard Taylor sigh at Chad. Laughing they all jumped in Zeke's car.
Kelsi and Jason…
Walking up Kelsi's steps she opened the door and they walked in. Placing her keys on a table she shut the door. Jason dropped her bag on the couch. Grabbing her hand he pulled her to the couch. Giggling she took a seat next to him. Smiling he placed his arm around her. She leaned into him and smiled. She was completely happy when he was around.
"Kels is that you baby?"
Smiling she called back, "yes mom, Jason's with me. We're in the living room!"
Kelsi's mom Sharron Nielson walked in and smiled at the couple. Jason got up and gave Sharron a smile and hugged and kissed her on the cheek. Walking back to Kelsi she pulled him back down to her. Sharron laughed, "baby take it easy with Jason you don't want to break him."
Kelsi blushed and Jason laughed.
"what's with all the laughing in here?"
Looking toward the stairs they saw Tim Nielson walk down the stairs. Kelsi smiled at her dad, "hey daddy."
Getting up she kissed her dad on the cheek and walked back to Jason. Jason got up and gave Tim a handshake. Grabbing Jason in a hug he laughed, "my boy where have you been?"
Laughing Jason pulled away and shrugged his shoulder, "family thing came up out of no where in the summer. We had to leave for San Diego and spent the rest of the summer there."
Looking at the two women he leaned over to Jason and whispered, "you left me alone with those two. I could have used another man here as back up."Jason laughed and nodded his head. Noticing the bruise on his face, "what happen to your face son?"
Jason blushed, "let's just say I'm currently not talking to my basketball."
Everyone in the room laughed. Kelsi came up behind Jason and pulled him to her. Giving her dad a look, "daddy, he's here to see me. You can have him later, right now he's mine."
Laughing he put his hands up, "sorry baby."
Kelsi pulled Jason back to the couch with her. Sharron grabbed her husbands hand, "Come on babe, let's leave these two."
Follow his wife into the kitchen he stopped outside the door and he winked at the couple, "I can hear and see everything you do."
Sharron yanked her husband into the kitchen. Kelsi groaned and Jason laughed. Leaning back into the couch Jason let out a relaxed breath. Kelsi curled herself into his side. Looking at him, "So, San Diego?"
Looking at her he nodded. "yeah my mom's sister had gotten sick, so we were visiting her."
Nodding she touched his cheek, "how did you really get that bruise?"
Sigh Jason looked away, "I told you already Kels….."
Sighing also, "it's hard to believe a starting varsity basketball player got hit in the eye with a basketball."
Sitting up Jason tried to get up, Kelsi pulled him back down. Looking at him, "where do you think your going?"
"home it's getting late and I'm tired," Jason sighed.
Getting very suspicious Kelsi sat up, "since when has that stopped you from staying here. You've slept here before…Jase what's going on. Please tell me…"
Looking away from her, "I got into a fight in San Diego with a cousin there."Standing up, "Kels I really should go."
Standing up she grabbed his hand, pulling him toward her stairs she called out to her parents, "mom can you wake us up in a couple hours. We're going to take a nap!"
"okay baby!"
Pulling him up the stairs she looked back at him, "now you have to stay."
Sighing he followed her upstairs to her room. Opening the door Jason plopped himself on her bed. Turning around he watched Kelsi move around her room. Pulling a pair of shorts and shirt out of her dresser she looked at him. "going to want me change?"
Laughing he put his arms behind his back, "hell ya! Can you do it slowly……you know unzip your pants and pull it off slowly."
Opening her eyes in shock she smacked him. Closing her door she looked at him, "eyes closed now you jerk!"
Laughing he put one of his arms across his eyes. Kicking his shoes off he took a deep breath. Feeling a weight on his chest he lifted his arm. Kelsi smiled up at him. Wrapping an arm around her he pulled her closer, noticing her shirt, "hey isn't that mine?"
Giggling, she shook her head. "I don't know what your talking about this is my shirt."
Laughing he turned to her and she spooned herself against his chest. Wrapping his arms around her she pulled the blankets around them. Kissing her head. "night babe."
"night Jase."
Within seconds he was out. Kelsi closed her eyes and followed shortly.
Walking upstairs to check on the kids, Sharron opened the door and smiled at the site in front of her. Jason was holding Kelsi really close to him. Closing the door gently she went back downstairs. Deciding that the two needed sleep she went to call Jason's mom to tell him he was spending the night.
A Few Hours Later….
It's like I've waited my whole life
On this one night
It's gonna be me and you on the dance floor
Cause we only got one night
Double your pleasure, double your fun
And dance for-e-e-e-ever
For-e-e-e-e-ver
For-e-e-e-ever
On the dance floor (Chris Brown- Forever)
Groaning Kelsi reached on her bedside for her phone. Picking it up and bringing it up to ear she mumbled, "hello?"
"Hey Sunshine, whatcha doing?"
Pulling her phone away from her face to see who called her, she groaned louder when she saw it was from Sharpay. "Shar what do you want? I was kind of sleeping."
"sorry boo, I'm booooooored. Come over and hang with me."
Feeling Jason starting to stir, Kelsi whispered back, "I can't I'm kind of busy."
"why are you whispering?"
Jason rubbed his eyes, Jason opened one eye and muttered "babe who are you talking to?"
"Kels is that Jason!?!"
Muttering quickly in the phone, "got to go Shar, bye!"
"wait!"
Hanging her phone up she turned and looked at him, "It was Sharpay, She was bored."
Letting out a laugh he sat up. He pulling his shirt off her tossed his aside. Kelsi looked at Jason in worry. Looking at her, "what? I was starting to get hot."
Nodding her head. He lay back down and she rested her head on his chest. Jason started drifting off to sleep again. Kelsi smiled when she heard his breaths get deep. Looking over at her clock she saw that it was already 7:14pm. Closing her eyes she just laid their listening to Jason's breaths.
DING DOOOOOOOG……
Kelsi opened one eye and looked at the clock it read 7:30pm, thinking nothing of it she closed her eye again and snuggled more into Jason. Pulling her closer Jason kissed her check in his sleep. Hearing running up the stairs her door flung open.
"Oh my god Kelsi! You hung up on me!"
Kelsi shot up in bed, "Sharpay!" Pulling her blanket up to her chest. Jason lifted his head and opened one eye. Seeing it was just Sharpay he turned onto his stomach and went back to sleep.
Sharpay's mouth dropped in shock, "your sleeping with Jason!"
Grabbing her head in annoyance she got out of bed. "I'm not sleeping with him, can you keep it down? If you haven't noticed he's sleeping! I'm dressed, he's dressed!"
Grabbing Kelsi's arm she pulled her outside into the hallway, "what's going on with you and Cross? Since when has he been sleeping in your room and more importantly in your bed with you?"
Crossing her arms she looked at Sharpay in annoyance, "it's none of your business. We've gotten pretty close over the summer when all my friends were too busy for me. He made time for me!"
Sharpay's mouth dropped.
"Kels come back to bed."
Kelsi felt her cheeks heat up. Sharpay looked toward Jason. He was sitting up in bed and she had to admit he looked pretty cute sitting up in bed sleepy looking. Kelsi looked at Jason, "I'll be there in a sec go back to sleep."
Nodding his head he laid back down. Sharpay and Kelsi looked at each other. Sharpay pointed at Jason, "do you know what's going on with him yet?"
She looked down and shook her head no. "not yet, but I'll find out eventually."
Nodding her head she headed toward the stairs, "I'll see you at school tomorrow. Night Kels."
Watching her leave she muttered, "night."
Going back into her room she closed her door and got back in bed with Jason. Getting under the covers she laid down, Jason slipped his arms around her. Closing her eyes she fell asleep.
BEEEEP…….BEEEEEP……..BEEEEEEEEEEP….
Rolling over Kelsi slapped her hand down where her alarm was. Turning back to the warmth she closed her eyes again and took a deep breath. Starting to fall asleep she felt her pillow move. Opening her eyes in shock she sat up and was surprised to find Jason still in her bed. Poking him he smacked her hand away and let out a groan. Trying again she poked him, "Jason!"
Jason rolled over onto his stomach. Kelsi rolled her eyes and smirked, "oh my god, I'm so wet…."
Jason turned his head and opened his eye at her at her in excitement. Giving her a questioning look, "who got you wet?'
She smiled. "Jase do you know what time it is?"
Turning his head away from her he muttered, "I dunno, about 10 or 11pm."
Rubbing her hands down his bare back., she felt him shiver. Smiling to herself she did it again, "Jase it's 6 in the morning and your still in my bed."
He started moaning from her rubbing his back. "that's nice babe. Don't stop."
Kelsi looked at him in shock. Jason pushed himself off her mattress, "Did you say 6 in the morning!?!"
She nodded her head. Jason's mouth dropped. His mom was going to kill him! Jumping out of bed Jason grabbed his shoes and started putting them on. Kelsi watched him from her bed. Putting his last one on he ran to the door.
"Jase your shirt?"
Jason turned around to Kelsi holding his shirt up. Walking back to her, he grabbed it and put in on. Kissing her on the cheek he ran out her room and out her house. Getting up she looked out the window and watched him run home. Smirking to herself she headed toward the restroom. Today was going to be a great day at school.
Jason was running his ass off. Looking down at his watch he knew his mom was going to kill him. The fact that it was a school night and he didn't come home and then plus the fact that he spent a night at a girl's house especially a girl he was interested in he knew his ass was grounded. Not noticing Troy and his dad jogging, he sprinted past them Troy and Jake stopped running to watch Jason running home. Looking at Troy, "that was Jason right?"Nodding his head slowly. "I have never seen him move that fast before."
Groaning Troy and Dad went back to their jogging.
Jason ran up his yard and pulled his keys out and opened the door. Opening it slowly he looked to see if anyone was there. Walking in quietly he closed the door slowly. Turning to walk up the stairs quietly.
"Your home pretty late."
He froze in his track and felt a shiver go down his back d. Turning around he saw his uncle in the living room glaring angrily at him. "get your ass down here now!"
Jason took a gulp and came down the stairs and walked up to him. Smacking Jason where his bruise was. Pulling Jason closer to his face, "where the fuck were you?"
Rubbing his eye. "I fell asleep at a friend's house uncle Joe."
Hitting him again Jason fell on the ground. "friends house my ass! Where the fuck were you?"
Pushing himself up he looked at his uncle. "I feel asleep at my friend's house, I'm not lying."
Kicking him in the stomach Jason let out a groan. Pulling him up by his arm. Joe squeezed his arm hard. Jason let out a whimper. Joe hit him again in the stomach. Jason grabbed his stomach in pain. Looking down at Jason, "if anyone asked you got in a fight you worthless kid. Get your ass upstairs and ready for school."
Pulling himself up from the floor he grabbed his side and limped up the stairs to his room. Shutting his door, he locked it and let out a rigid breath. Feeling tears forming in his eyes he took a deep breath. He wasn't going to cry. Limping to his bed he dropped down. He knew he was lucky that his brother and sister were home, if they weren't he would have gotten beaten worse. Getting up he limped over to his door, opening it he looked around to make sure the coast was clear. Limping across the hall he went into the bathroom and locked the door. Looking in the mirror he glimpsed. He bruise now looked like a black eye. His cheek was also starting to swell up. Taking his shirt off her saw the hand print on his arm and a bruise forming on his side and ribs. Taking a deep breath he got undressed completely and jumped in the shower. Turning the water on to warm he let the water go down his body. Wincing in pain he grabbed his ribs in pain.
"hey Jase hurry up, I need to take a shower too!"
Hearing his brother's sleepy voice he called back, "ya…..I'm almost done!"
Grabbing the shampoo he applied some to his hair and rinsed it out. Getting out of the shower he wrapped a towel around his waist. Picking his clothes he dropped them in the basket. Grabbing another towel he put it to the side of his body that had the bruises. Opening the door he rushed past his brother and slammed his door shut. Locking his door he walked over to his dresser and pulled some boxers out. Slipping them on he wiped the water off his body. Grabbing his deodorant he put some on. Grabbing some shorts he put them on and limped over to his closet for a shirt. Pulling it over his chest he sprayed some Axe on him. Sitting down on his bed he picked up some socks and put them on. Grabbing some shoes he slipped them on. Standing up he limped back to his dresser. Grabbing some gel he put some in his hair spiking it up. Putting his watch on he walked out to the hallway. Going back into the bathroom he brushed his teeth. Walking out of the bathroom he knocked on his brother door, "you ready?"
Matt opened his door and nodded his head. Taking a look a Jason's face his mouth dropped, "what happen?"
Laughing scornfully, "you know me I'm pretty clumsy."
Looking at his brother doubtfully he walked past him down the stairs. Jason limped behind him. Grabbing his keys for his car the boys went outside to Jason's Range Rover. Getting into the driver seat he turned his car on. Hearing a knocking he rolled his window down. Joe looked at the boys, "you guys be good and stay out of trouble."
Matt smiled at his uncle and nodded his head, Jason nodded also. Joe waved at them and headed back into the house. Jason checked his driveway and backed out. Driving to school both boys listen to the radio. As soon as Jason pulled into a parking spot Matt jumped out of the car and ran over to his friends. Locking his door Jason limped into school. The moment he walked in everyone was starring at him. Troy and Chad's mouth dropped when they saw him. Ignoring them he limped to his locker. Leaning his head against his locker he put his combo in and opened the door. Grabbing what he needed and closed the door.
"Jase? What happen?"
Groaning, he turned to face his friends. Troy and Chad had worried looks on their faces. Trying to smile, "hey guys, what's up?"
Troy and Chad shared a look. Zeke came up to them. "Hey guys, what's u…." seeing Jason his voice cut out.
Chad choosing not to beat around the bush asked flat out what happen, "yo bro what happen? You look like you go the shit beat out of you."
Zeke hit him. Troy was confused, he remembered seeing Jason this morning and he didn't look like that. Pulling Jason close to him, "bro when I saw you this morning you didn't look like this…."
Jason looked at Troy is question. "when did you see me?"
Troy looked at him. "this morning at 6 something in the morning. You ran past me and my dad. Where were you coming from?"
Ignoring their questioning looks, he leaned against the locker and took a deep breath. Feeling his side hurting a lot.
"Jase, what happen?"
Looking at friend's worried faces. He let out a small chuckle. "my dumbass tried sneaking into my house this morning and I fell trying to get up my tree."
Troy looked at him in surprise. "who's house were you at last night?"
Blushing he looked away from his friends, "don't worry about it."
RRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG……
Smiling at his friends, "come on guys let's get to class before we get detention."
Laughing the guys started walking to class. Troy couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong with Jason. Walking into Ms. Darbus class, Troy smiled at the girls. Chad, Zeke walked in after. All three guys took their seats and didn't say a word. Kelsi looked at Troy in question. "what's wrong?"
Troy looked away from her and Ms. Darbus walked in. Right before the bell rang Jason limped in with his head down. Kelsi let out a gasp when she saw Jason. Ignoring her he got in his seat. Ms. Darbus looked at Jason in worry. "Mr. Cross what happen to you?"
Feeling his face get hot he kept his head down, but replied, "I fell out of a tree."
The class snickered at Jason. Ms. Darbus kept her eyes on him. There was something wrong and she intended to find out. "after class please stay a moment so I can have a word with you."
Jason nodded his head. Ms. Darbus started her lesson plan. Kelsi couldn't take her eyes off Jason, she could not believe that he hurt himself in a tree. She couldn't understand why he would climb a tree at 6 in the morning! Sharpay looked at Kelsi, sensing her stare she look at her in uncertainly.
Feeling his classmate's stares, Jason tried so hard to ignore them, but it was so hard. Sitting there for 45 minutes he ignored everything. As soon as the bell rang everyone gathered their things quickly and left. The gang we're all waiting for Jason outside of the class. Kelsi was putting her stuff away slowly hoping to talk to Jason. Ms. Darbus looked at Kelsi. "Ms. Nielson, could you please take a step outside I need to have a word with Mr. Cross alone."
Blushing she nodded and walked out the door. Jason limped up to the front of the class. Jason took a seat on the desk top in front of Ms. Darbus and looked at her. Taking a deep breath she let it out slowly. "did you really fall out of a tree?" Nodding his head, he refused to look her in the eye. "okay, when did you do this?"
Starting to panic a little, Ms. Darbus notice that quickly. Rubbing his neck, she saw another bruise on his arm, but didn't say anything. "I was coming home this morning. I had fell asleep at my friend's house and I had to sneak into my house so I didn't get in trouble. I stepped wrong and fell."
She nodded her head. "who's house did you fall asleep at?"
Gulping he looked her in the eye, "Kelsi's."
Ms. Darbus eyes widen, rubbing her chin. thoughtfully "what time did you leave Kelsi's house?"
Looking away from Ms. Darbus, his cheeks heated up. "some time after 6. I ran home."
"did you see anyone else?"
Still looking outside he muttered, "Apparently Troy and his dad saw me. I didn't seem to notice them."
Nodding her head once more she walked over to him, "Jason you should go to the nurse and have her check out your eye and cheek. Also, my door is always open if you ever need to talk about anything."
Still looking outside, "are we done?"
She shook her head, "yes."
Getting off the desk he opened the door and limped out the class, seeing his friends he limped straight past his friends. He held his hand up indicating he didn't want to talk. They watched him limp away from them. Matt came up behind the gang and asked, "do you know what happen?"
Everyone turned to Matt, "no, he said something about a tree."
Matt looked at Troy in surprise, "what tree?"
Chad cut in, "the one that leads to his room…."
Matt rubbed the back of his head. "uh…..guys, that tree is gone. It's been gone since our dad died 3 years ago." The gang looked at him in shock. "I don't know why he came home, Kelsi's mom called and said Jason was passed out and my mom said it was fine."
Everyone looked at Kelsi in shock. Blushing she looked away.
Looking at Kelsi, he blushed. "I meant to ask you Kels, how was your summer with my brother? I barely heard from him cause he was always with you. My mom thought she might have to lock him away the rest of the summer to get him to come home more."
Kelsi looked at him in confusion. "I spent half the summer with him. He left halfway through."
Matt rubbed his head. "why did he leave halfway through?"
Getting a little worried, "he said he had a family emergency and left. I didn't hear from him till the first day of school."
Confusion showed on Matt's face, "what family emergency? I spent my entire summer at football camp and I never heard of an emergency. Maybe he stayed with my uncle, my mom has been a little loopy with her wedding coming up and she's been working a lot. My mom was happy that he was staying at your house. She knew your parents were keeping eye on him."
The gang all shared a look. Jason had told a big lie to them and most of all, he lied to Kelsi. They now knew something was terrible wrong.
Hearing his friends calling him, he waved to them. Looking at the gang once more, "sorry guys I got to go."
Waving he ran to catch up to his friends. Troy and Chad looked down the hallway that Jason went down. Not giving their friends a look they headed down the same hallway. Kelsi felt herself start to feel dizzy. Feeling someone grab her she looked to find Sharpay supporting her. The rest of the gang started walking away. Unknown to them Ms. Darbus was at the door and heard everything.
Jason….
Jason could feel eyes on him everywhere he went. Moving faster he headed toward the music room. Knowing that Kelsi wasn't there the guys wouldn't check to see if he was there. Opening he door he went inside and leaned against the wall, sliding down he put his head on his knee. Feeling anger surging through his body, he couldn't understand why his uncle hated him so much. Ever since he dad died his uncle has been on his ass. Always yelling at him and hitting him. He always told him he was a disappointment and it was his fault his dad was dead. Jason sniffed, he missed his dad terribly. He couldn't forget when they found out his dad had died in a car accident. It was the night of his biggest game. His dad was on a business trip and planned on surprising him at the game. He remembered his mom coming up to him after his game and started crying. He remembered falling to the ground and feeling numb. After that night everything was a blur. He vaguely remembered the funeral. Feeling really angry he slammed his fist on the floor.
Troy and Chad ran up to the music room door and crashed into it. Looking through they saw no one there. Troy nodded his head in the auditorium direction. Chad nodded his head and they were off. Looking up to the door Jason sighed in relief when he saw Chad and Troy leave. Leaning his head back against the wall he closed his eyes. Letting himself fall asleep he dreamed of Kelsi and of happier times with his family.
Lunchtime had finally came and no one has seen Jason. Troy and Chad had to give up their search and head to class. The girls had stayed with Kelsi to make sure she was okay. Sharpay watched Kelsi mutter angrily at her cell phone.
Kelsi looked at cell once again to see she had no texts from Jason. She was getting very frustrate with him. She couldn't believe he had lied to her about his summer and bruises. Getting up she walked out of the lunchroom. The girls got up and were going to follow her when the boys stopped them and shook their heads. Letting out a sigh they all sat down and starred at the door that Kelsi left in. Still starring at her cell, Kelsi went to one of the 2 places that she could let herself go with her music, which of course was the music room. Opening the door gently she walked in and went straight up to the piano. Taking a seat she starred at the keys. Bringing her fingers to the keys she brushed her hands down them. Letting out a breath of frustration she got up and turned around. Jumping a little when she saw Jason against the wall asleep. Walking over to him, she sat down next to him. Leaning her head against his shoulder she let her tears finally fall. Slipping a hand through his arm, she grabbed his hand and leaned her body into his. Closing her eyes she tried to take death breaths to calm herself, she knew she was going to have a long night.
Jason jumped when he felt his hand holding something and a weight on his shoulder. Looking to his side he saw Kelsi asleep next to him. Letting a smile form on his face he nudged her with his shoulder. She groaned and buried her head further into his shoulder. Looking at the clock his mouth dropped. It was already 3 o'clock, school has been out for 15 minutes. He had skipped all his classes! Leaning down he kissed Kelsi on the cheek, "wake up sleeping beauty, schools out."
Moving away from Jason Kelsi reached over her head and stretched. Jason let his eyes roam over the small girl. He knew he was very attracted to her and she was into him.
Kelsi was starring at Jason's face he seem to drifting off. Kelsi sighed, she had to know what was going on with him. She couldn't stand it if something bad was happening to him. She was in love with this man for goodness sake! He was always there, no matter what time. She could call him at 3 in the morning and say she needed him and he would be outside her door in minutes whispering sweet words. They could text, IM and talked to each other throughout the entire night, never getting bored. Standing up, she looked down at the man who had been deep in thoughts. Shaking his head he looked up to her. She reached down and he grabbed her hand. Using all her body strength she pulled him up. Not letting go of his hand they left the room in silence. Walking down the empty hallway they stopped at Kelsi's locker. Grabbing some books and her music sheets, she tossed them in her backpack. Grabbing his hand once again they stopped at his locker, grabbing a few books he tossed them in his backpack. Taking hers he put it on his shoulder with his backpack. She grabbed his hand and they walked slowly out of school, she was in no rush to get home. Looking to her right she saw the gang all gathered around the fountain. Turning away from them she looked at Jason and noticed a far away look on his face, sighing she pulled him away from the group. "Jason, did you walk to school?"
Snapping out of his thought he looked down to the girl, "no I drove to school." Pulling her in the direction of his car he opened the door for her and closed it when she was inside. Getting to the driver side he got in and tossed their bags into the back seats. Putting his keys in he started the engine. Looking over his shoulder he back up, looking over to the girl on his side he kissed her cheek and looked forward. Putting the car into drive they headed toward Kelsi's house. During the drive Jason had reached over and was rubbing his hand up and down her thigh. Placing a hand over his she starred out the window. When they got to Kelsi's he pulled into her driveway. Looking at him, she watched him put his car in park. "are you coming inside?"
Shaking his head, "no I'm going to head home for a bit."
Nodding her head she reached into the backset and grabbed her bag. Leaning over to him she kissed his gently on the lips. Getting out of her seat she rushed up her steps to her house. Jason's mouth had dropped, he was surprised that Kelsi had kissed him, normally he was the one that kissed her. Smiling dreamily towards Kelsi he snapped himself out when he saw her go inside the house. Sighing he backed out of her driveway and drove home. Seeing his house come into view, he groaned when he saw his uncle car in the driveway. Deciding he wasn't ready to go home he drove past his house to his secret place. Finally pulling up to a clearing he turned his car off. Leaning back into his seat he closed his eyes. Letting himself drift off to sleep again.
Kelsi shut her textbook in annoyance. She had been working on homework for 2 hours and she was finally done. Looking at her clock she sighed heavily at the time, It was already 10:15pm. Getting up from her desk she stretched tiredly. Walking over to her dresser she grabbed some really small shorts and a shirt of Jason. She brought the shirt to her face and smelled it, letting a smile drift to her face when she could still smell Jason scent. She changed. Heading to the bathroom she closed the door once inside. Grabbing her toothbrush and toothpaste she put some on. Brushing her teeth angrily when she realized she still haven't heard from Jason. She heard from everyone else, but him. She thought that kissing him would get him to follow her, but she watched stay in the car and she looked at him in dejectively manner. Spitting the paste out she rinse her mouth. Doing all her nightly steps she finally was in bed by 10:45pm. Taking her glasses off she placed them on her nightstand and turned off the lights. Closing her eyes she drifted off to sleep.
An hour passes, Kelsi wakes to a tapping on her window. Getting up slowly she puts her glasses on and turns on the light, she walks over to her window, opening her blinds she surprised to see Jason there. "Jase?"
Drawing her blinds up she opens the window. He climbs through and stands in front of her. She looked to her window and back at him, "how did you get up to my window?"She closed the window and locked it, also shut the blinds.
Rubbing his neck he looks away and blushes. "I climbed your fence on the side of your house and kind of jumped and grabbed onto your roof and pulled myself up and walked the ledge till I got to your window."
Kelsi's mouth dropped in shock. Smacking him hard he rubbed his arm. "you could have hurt yourself even more!"
Smiling at her, "it'll be worth it to see you."
Blushing really hard she turned her head away from and let out a little smile. Rubbing her cheeks she faced him. "what are you doing here at…." Looking at her clock, "11:50pm?"
Crossing his arms across his chest he looked around her room, "I was in the neighborhood and I thought I'll drop by."
Looking at him suspiciously she walked up to him, poking him, "why are you really here?"
Wincing in pain her rubbed the spot she poked. Taking a deep breath, "I can't sleep….."muttering quietly hoping she didn't hear the last part, "without you."
Kelsi heard him and smiled. Reaching for his jacket she pulled it off his shoulders and tossed it to her chair and pulled him to her bed. Looking over her shoulder at him, "Jase you know you're always welcomed here. No excuses needed."
Smiling he kicked his shoes off. Kelsi got in bed first and got under the covers. He unzipped his pants and pulled them off. He was thankful that he had his baller shorts on underneath. Crawling under the covers with her he reached to her night stand and turned the light off. Curling up to Kelsi he pulled her closer to him. Kissing her check he let his body relax. Turning over she looked him in the eye, "Jase does your mom know you're here?" he shook his head no, she sighed, "your mom is going to get mad."
Grinning at her, "my mom could never get mad at me when it comes to you, she loves you."
Blushing she put her head in his neck and smiled. Jason pulled her closer to him. Letting out a giggle, Kelsi sat up, "you know if you pull me any closer to you I'll be on top of you."
Smiling at her, "I don't mind that, actually I would love that."
Once again she blushed. Laying back down she turned her body away from him. He turned on his side and pulled her back to his chest. Wrapping his arms around her he kissed the back of her head. Closing his eyes he felt himself starting to get sleepy.
"Jase…."
Opening an eye he looked to see Kelsi looking at him. "yeah babe?"
Placing a hand on his cheek she scooted closer. "are you ever going to tell me how you really got the bruises? I know it's not from your mom."
Sighing he looked past her, "maybe, but not right now. I just want to be close to you."
Kissing him softly on the lips she gave him a small smile. "Jase you know I'm here for you and so are my parents. The gang is worried, your brother flat out told us everything you said isn't true."
Sitting up he looked away from her. "you know what I think I'm going to head home."
Sitting up quickly she pulled on his arm. Pushing him down on the bed she climbed on top of him. "you're not going anywhere tonight. When your ready will you tell what's going on?"
Wrapping his arms around her waist, "yeah……when I'm ready."
