Chapter 28

Jill POV

"Why the hell did you bring that back?" Lafayette asked me at work two weeks later.

"They didn't like it" I replied.

"Why the fuck not?"

"Because it was too under cooked" I said.

"Those motherfuckers" he said. "I'll be back." I rolled my eyes. But then again, from what I heard, this wasn't the first time it happened.

It's been two weeks since I started working. I must admit that it has its pros and cons when it comes to working in a place like this. At least I get good tips.

I also noticed that Sam and Sookie have been keeping a close eye on me when I first started out. I have a feeling my sister and my boyfriend must've spoken to them about me. But I didn't mind that they were watching out for me. As long as nothing gets back to them, I'll be okay.

"How are you holding up?" Sam asked me.

"I'm okay it's Lafayette I'm a little worried about" I said as I saw him confronting my customer.

"Don't worry about him" he said.

"That's what I'm afraid of" I mumbled as I went back to work. I looked at my watch which was almost nearing the end of my shit. I've been on the go for the past three days in a row working. The second night, I had to help close up I was a little nervous. Only because it was at that time of the night a few weeks ago, I was abducted. Sure Terry, Sheriff Andy's cousin who also works there, was there that night but I couldn't help but worry. Luckily, nothing happened.

But I can't help it. I guess the after effect of this whole ordeal is taking a toll. Just not a whole lot of it, if you get what I mean.

Also, I need to move on. I'm trying but I think I might be frustrating everyone I know. Unless you go through something similar like I did, then you wouldn't understand.

I came home that night to an empty house. Lately Jason hasn't been home and I have been a little worried about that. My first instinct was that he was cheating at first. But then I realized that there was boxes of condoms in the bathroom sink unopened.

I got comfortable after I got out of my work clothes and sat on the couch. I picked up my book and started to read my book that I started reading a few days ago.

I didn't sign up for college again this semester. When the time was right, I would sign back up again. I don't think I could deal with college and my recovery at the same time. From what my adviser told me I only needed two more semesters so I could graduate on time. But obviously that wasn't going to happen now.

The front door opened and I could hear movement in the background. I looked up only to see Jason coming in from work.

"Hey babe" I called out.

"Hey when did you get in?" he said, walking over towards me.

"Awhile ago and why do you sweat so much?" I asked as he hugged me.

"In case you forgot I do work you know" he replied with a grin.

"I know but coming home smelling like you work in a sweatshop doesn't appeal me but it does turn me on a bit" I said.

"It does?" he asked shockingly.

"I said a bit so don't push it" I replied narrowing my eyes but I had a smirk on my lips.

"What are you doing after work tomorrow night?" he asked.

"Coming home or going over to Kris', why?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.

"Wait for me at Merlotte's when you're done" he said.

"Why?"

"You'll see" he said with a glint of something in his eye that he was definitely up to something.

"I'm afraid to know" I mumbled.

Later that night, I was sleeping next to Jason well him more sleeping and me less sleeping. I was just staring at the ceiling for who knows what reasons. I could hear him snoring softly next to me as I looked over at him.

My sleeping patterns I guess you could say well, they were average. Some nights I sleep and some nights, I don't. Tonight just happened to be one of those nights for me. I don't let the other knows mainly because I don't want to take anything to help with my insomnia. Then again, who knows these days?

I rolled on my side and I stared out the window before I fell asleep.

"Are you sure you can handle this?" Sam asked me later that night the next day.

"I'll be fine closing up by myself besides, Tara is around somewhere but I'll manage" I replied.

"Okay I'll see you Saturday right?"

"Yeah and now you forget when I work I'm shocked" I said mockingly. After he left, I headed towards the back of the place to put some dirty dishes in the sink. I turned on the hot water and let the dishes soak as I started to scrub them for awhile. The cooks went home awhile ago and Lafayette had the night off.

After I left them in the sink, I went back on the floor and started to wipe down the tables. I heard the door open and close. I looked up and was surprised to see Jason there, in a buttoned up shirt and jeans.

"You had off today?" I asked as he came over and kissed me on the lips.

"Actually I came to get you" he replied.

"But I *kiss* have *kiss* to close *kiss* up tonight. Damn you're like all loving tonight" I said.

"I can't see my girl tonight?"

"You can just when I'm done" I said as I continued to wipe down the next few tables. Jason then wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled his face behind my neck.

"Oh so you're going to be like that huh?" I asked as I turned around to face him.

"Maybe" he replied.

"Alright, just let me let Tara know" I said. I walked over towards the bar and saw Tara giving me a look.

"Don't worry I'll cover for you" she said with a knowing tone.

"Thanks I owe you" I said grabbing my bag.

"Don't worry and I know I don't say this a lot but I can see how happy he makes you, even when he doesn't use his head sometimes" she said.

"I know" I said. "He does make me happy for once in my life."

I left as soon as I grabbed my things. We headed towards his car since Kris gave me a ride to work today. The ride was quiet as I stared out the window. I didn't even know I was falling asleep until my eyes closed.

Dream Sequence

"Jason!" I called out as I was running in the woods. I looked around frantically as I heard footsteps behind me.

I continued to run as my legs started to grow weak. I saw a flash and there was a figure standing in front of me. I saw that he was reaching for me and his grip got tighter on me as I struggled free.

"Now I got you" he said menacingly.

"NO!" I cried out as I felt something go through me.

End of Dream Sequence

"Jill, wake up" I heard Jason's voice and I jolted awake, breathing heavy.

"Are you alright?" he asked frantically.

"Yeah, just a nightmare" I replied.

"You want to go home?"

"No, we shouldn't I mean we just got here I'll be fine" I said with a smile as we got out of his truck and I saw that we're back at the lake where it was just quiet.

Hello date night.

A/n: Sorry this took forever. I'm dealing with RL and two new stories and trying to finish this story and my other story.

I think the next chapter will be the last since I feel that it's at a right place to finish. Not to mention an epilogue will be in place also.

Don't forget to review! They mean a lot! Thanks for your patience and support!

Signing out for now,
