Chapter 4: Jason's sercert revealed

*Anything italicized is someone's thought bubble or someone is singing

Later on the next day, Rosie was released from the hospital. Danny's ghost sense was going crazy and so was Rosie's. Jason was controlling his pretty well. It would only slip out whenever he'd open his mouth. So, he tried his best to keep his mouth shut. But it was really hard for him.

Rosie and her family and friends walked out of the hospital doors and Rosie right away looked around for the ghost they heard singing the other night.

Just when she thought it was clear to give up, her ghost sense came out of the blue again. "Oh, boy…" She knew that it had to be the one ghost she didn't want to see at the moment…for she heard that one single annoying word: "BEWARE!" Boxer appeared in front of them, laughing his butt off. "Sorry! I couldn't resist." He said through laughs. "Hey Boxer…what did you need?" Rosie asked, annoyed now.

"I just…" Boxer began when he saw Jason right there and gasped. "H-him…" Boxer said as he pointed to Jason. Everyone looked at Jason with confused looks on their faces. "What do you want, Box Ghost?" Jason asked, sharply. "H-he's working for Vlad!" He finished with a yell. Rosie turned around and looked at Jason fast. "Jason…is-is that true?" She asked him, hoping it wasn't. Jason's eyes were closed and he breathed a sigh. It's no use keeping a secret any longer. He thought. But he still lied to her. "No…I don't know what this Box Ghost is talking about, and I don't know any Vlad, Rosie. You have to believe me." Jason lied. Emma knew he was lying but didn't say anything.

"Boxer…" Rosie began as she looked back at the Box Ghost floating in front of her. "I'm telling you Rosie, I saw him with Vlad in a dark alley way!" Boxer ranted. "I'm sorry, Boxer, but he can't be working for Vlad. He's too nice to work for him. He would never lie to me." Rosie said. Jason started feeling guilty for lying to her about working for Vlad, but he couldn't tell her just yet; because if she knew, he'd have to kill her right on the spot…in front of her mother, father, and best friend.

Just then, Rosie's ghost sense went off again and so did Danny's. Jason kept his from coming out. Boxer noticed Jason didn't have a piece of blue air coming out of his mouth and sighed guiltily. Maybe I got the wrong guy. He thought. Just then, he noticed Jason epically failed at keeping his ghost sense hidden. Then again, I could have the right guy. "He's a ghost!" Boxer yelled. "Here we go again…" Jason said as his ghost sense kept spilling out of his mouth.

Rosie noticed that and got mad. "Jason, I was wondering what the blue breath coming out of your mouth was, and now I know…" Rosie began. Jason looked at her, confused. "You know what?" He asked, hoping she wouldn't say he was a half-a like her. "That…you're a half-a like me. Why didn't you tell me?" Rosie asked. Jason sighed as more of his ghost sense came out of his mouth. "I didn't know at the time you were one too. Once I found out, I wanted to tell you, but…someone told me not to." Jason said, not saying who the 'someone' was.

"Jason Foley, I'm shocked! You always told us every…" Danny began when Emma's voice rose through the suspense of the situation. "Wait a minute; isn't the only other half-ghost, half-human in this town Vlad Masters?" Emma mentioned, being smarter than Jason thought. Jason's eyes were wide, on the inside. He tried so hard not to show that he was the son of Vlad Masters/Plasmius and that he was shocked that Emma caught his lie.

"You're right, Emma…" Danny said as he looked back at Jason with glowing green eyes. Jason sighed. He was hoping that the day when they all knew his secret wouldn't come. Rosie looked shocked at how silent Jason was. "Jason…are you working for Vlad?" Rosie asked, trying to hold back sobs of crying.

Jason looked up at Rosie and sighed again.

"I-I'm sorry, everyone…" He finally spoke up as he pulled out a gun aiming it at Rosie and pulling the trigger. Rosie moved out of the way just in time. "Rosie…!" Danny, Sam, and Emma all yelled in unison. Rosie turned into Rosie Phantom right on the spot and jumped into the air. She floated in mid-air.

"How COULD YOU!?" She yelled. "I said I was sorry!" He said. "That doesn't change the fact that you lied to me, Jason!" Rosie yelled. "I trusted you…I trusted you with my personal secrets…I trusted you with this secret…I…I…" Rosie began, but was too pissed off to finish. She just couldn't believe that Jason betrayed her.

Jason couldn't believe at how mad Rosie was either. He thought she'd be mild but apparently not.

Rosie landed on the ground and began to sing in high soprano:

Rosie: I should have known, that you were a ghost, I should have known it all along, but my ghost sense didn't pick up, the sent of the ghost inside of you, how dare you say you're my best friend, how could you betray me, Jason…!

Jason: Oh Rosie, my Rosie, in that time when I once was normal, my Rosie, when I met you I fell for you then, ah Rosie, don't you see that I didn't, mean to betray you my friend, I wish had a choice…

"You did…" Rosie said, sharply.

Jason: But when it was done, before the sun could rise, ashamed of what I became, afraid to see your eyes, I stood while you slept, my ghost took full control, I fed off the smell you had, and I became the Masked Fang…

Rosie: and I loved you, yes I loved you, I would follow anywhere you lead, but now I see the end, of you and I my friend…

Jason: And I loved you…

Rosie: And I loved you…

Jason: and I left you…

Rosie: how I loved you…

Jason: But I had to both of us knew why…

Rosie: I don't know why…

Both: And yet I don't regret, the choice I've made right now, I can't believe you lied…

Rosie: Goodbye, my old best friend…

Jason was shocked when he heard Rosie say goodbye. He didn't want that to happen.

Jason: No, not that…

Rosie: It has to be this way…for good…

"Jason…we're done." Rosie said.

Jason could feel tears welling up in his eyes. He thought of Rosie as a sister and didn't want to hurt her…or kill her like Vlad wanted her to do. But, now, not only did he lose the best friend status; he lost her friendship all together. Thanks a lot…dad. Jason thought.
