Terrible Twos Part 3

On the other side of the house Jessica was trying to allow Adilyn her personal space which much to the redhead's dismay was always a big struggle for her. She had never wanted to become a clingy girlfriend stereotype, or a jealous one for that matter, but Adilyn could bring out the worst in her, Jessica shuddering at the last thought as it brought back nightmares and fears which would never go away. Unfortunately another one of her exes chose that moment to walk up to her and of course he failed to notice how agitated she obviously was.
"Ya seem happy." Jason said softly, and a little awkwardly.
Turning to look at him she frowned, "What?"
"With Adilyn." Jason said, and when that didn't seem to clear things up he added, "I saw ya with her earlier, and... and ya seemed happy together."
"We are." Jessica smiled softly, "I am."
"Oh... good, that's... good." Jason said awkwardly, then worried that he didn't sound sincere enough quickly added, "I mean it Jess, I really am happy for ya. I know I wasn't all that supportive when ya told me the two of you were together and all, but I was just real surprised and I didn't know what to think. But I don't judge, and ya know I ain't good with words, but... but..."
Having already gone back to looking at her girlfriend Jessica murmured, "It's fine Jason, really."
"I just haven't really got around to telling ya I support your life choices, and I do. Not that bein' gay is a choice or nothin', it's just that... I'm happy for ya. Really. And I'm sorry I didn't tell ya that sooner." Jason blathered, wishing he'd rehearsed more, "If anyone deserves to be happy, it's you Jess."
There was a moment of silence and then Jessica coldly said, "What I deserve is to burn in the sun, and then in hell, for touchin' a hair on that sweet girl's head."
"Jessica, don't-" Jason began.
"Don't what!" Jessica practically yelled, her fangs coming out as she turned to look him directly in the eye, "Tell the truth? Cause if I had any decency I wouldn't go anywhere near her after what I did to her and her... her sisters, but I can't stay away. I can't leave her alone, even for a second because I'm terrified somethin' will happen to her and I can't stand it. And even though I know she can take care of herself, that she's not... she's not the helpless girl I almost killed two years ago, I just... I can't stand the thought of her getting hurt."
Jason flinched when Jessica yelled at him, but it was only for a second and then all he saw was a frightened girl rambling who he desperately wanted to comfort, "Hey now, it's not like she ain't safe with you around-"
"Apart from the fact that I almost killed her once, and still might do it again, yeah, she's safe as houses." Jessica grumbled, then before Jason could say anything else added, "But yeah, there's still plenty of vampires which would love to make a meal out of her, and I've even got to watch the nice ones because I know better than anyone that even a nice vampire like James can lose control and... should she really be hugging him? I mean... I, I... oh God! I'm a terrible girlfriend!"
Knowing it was futile Jason began, "Jessica-"
"Seriously! I'm obsessed with her! I'm stalking her! I'm stalking her right now like a total creep! God Jason, I need help!" Jessica exclaimed, throwing herself into her ex-boyfriend's arms. Then she heard a familiar voice.
"Hey!" Violet yelled, appearing by their side in a flash and baring her fangs menacingly, "I've told you before, keep your grubby hands off my boyfriend!"
"Seriously? You're at a party for my GIRLFRIEND!" Jessica sighed, emphasising the last word as much as possible as she and Jason quickly moved away from each other.
Ignoring the protest Violet just continued glaring, "This is your last warning."
With that she sped away, leaving Jessica to give Jason a look, "I can't believe you're still with her. I mean she's just so... I mean no offence, just never saw ya endin' up with someone like that."
"Weren't we just talkin' 'bout vamps feelin' all protective and shit." Jason grinned, pleased with himself for making a good point. Then, feeling on a role, he added, "So ya see, it's natural. Sides, if we're talking unlikely hook ups..."
"I know, I know... pot, kettle, black." Jessica grumbled, then when Jason looked a bit confused quickly added, "I just want this... need this to work out, but I don't think I've ever been a good girlfriend before, and being with a girl is different, and, and... and I just don't want to screw this up."
Jason gave her a sympathetic smile, and then had another idea which against his better judgement he voiced, "Well... I don't know 'bout girl on girl relationships, but when it comes to vampire on fairy relationships, I can think of at least one person ya could talk too..."
