Chapter 22 -A Change of Heart
Emily, Alison and Jason stood there in the front door until Wayne arrived.
Wayne.- "Girls who is it?"
Alison turned in his direction and replied. - "It's my brother..."
Alison grabbed Jason from the arm and brought him inside with a smile in her face; Alison put Jason close to her and she leaned her head on his arm; they both were in front of Wayne when Alison presented him.
Alison smiled. - "This is Jason my dear brother..."
Wayne and Jason shacked hands.
Wayne. - "Nice to meet you"
Jason. - "Thanks me too"
Emily continued analyzing Jason; she didn't understood why but the feeling of anxiety and fear just increased as she saw him going closer to her blonde. Pam and Hanna arrived to the scene.
Pam. - "Jason how are you? You arrived just in time to eat..."
Jason hesitated for one minute before talk.
Jason. - "Thank you Ms. Fields but I'm just here to pick up Alison"
He turned in the direction of the blonde and he said.
Jason. -"Go for your stuffs, we should be going..."
Emily wanted to stop him, something inside her was telling her to not let him leave with her girlfriend, and the brunette was trying to articulate some words when her dad started to talk.
Wayne. - "No sense" (He hugged Jason from the shoulders and said) "Your little sister and my wife worked hard in the kitchen for us; the right thing to do is to at least take a bit..."
Pam added. - "Come on Jason, there is plenty of food, beside one guest more will not do the difference"
She rolled her eyes towards the other blonde that was beside her; Hanna just smiled to her as she was already eating a piece of the lasagna. Wayne shacked Jason from the shoulders and motivated him to get in and sit in the table with them. Jason took a moment to think when her little sister started to talk to him.
Alison. - "Please, can we stay for dinner? I made your favorite dessert: apple pie..."
Jason turned in Alison's direction and he showed a surprised look to the blonde.
Jason. - "How do you know that I like...?"
Alison smirked and said. - "You like all kind of pies but apple pie is your favorite, for breakfast you don't like to eat more than a glass of orange juice and one fruit as preference Apples, you're allergic to peanuts and everything that has nuts in it give you 'itchy'; your favorite dish is simple: a steak with some potatoes to go with, in Christmas your favorite thing is to put the lights and that is because when you were little you were scared to the dark, you said that you don't like animals but I know that you love to go out and run with Pepe, you're a romantic 'cause your favorite movie is 'pretty woman'..."
Jason opened his mouth of surprise, he didn't know that the blonde knew all that, they rarely speak to each other, they weren't the closer and warmed siblings in the world; he continued showing surprise in his face and with each sentence that Alison said, you could see how his eyes were becoming watery eyes. Jason looked at her and he could feel the warm and tenderness of her little sister.
Alison chucked. - "l might not be the warmed sister but I know you Jason, l haven't had the chance to show you how much l love you but I do love you, I'm happy and grateful to have you in my life, l might not tell it enough but thank you Jason for exist..."
Jason gulped and he was looking down when he said. - "Well, it would be rude to decline your kind offer to have a nice diner… l would like to have a piece of that pie..."
Everybody smiled but Emily's smile looked a little forced. Hanna noticed and approached to her.
Hanna. - "What's up Em? You don't like your future brother-in-law?"
Emily with the arms crossed and her eyes brows raised. - "l don't know what is it but since the moment he arrived, lm being feeling this anxiety..."
Hanna pat Emily's back and said. - "Cheer up Em, let's sit and eat..."
Emily smirked as she saw the serving dish in her friend's hands. - "But you already ate..."
Hanna. - "What?! This doesn't count; it's just a tasting..."
Hanna's comment made Emily laugh but she continued to feel anxious. Before sitting in the table, Alison asked Jason for his help with something in the kitchen in order to talk with him. They got in the kitchen and Jason was going to help her to bring the food on the table but Alison stopped him for one moment.
Alison. - "Jason, l want to tell you something..."
Jason. - "What is it?"
Alison murmured a little before started to talk. - "I want you to know that I love Emily... She's my girlfriend and I just want to tell you..."
Jason. - "Oh…"
Alison. - "Is that ok for you?"
Jason was surprised but he was more surprised to see that the blonde was really looking for his approval.
Jason asked. - "Alison, why do you care what l think about it?"
Alison. - "Of course I care! You're my brother! Look I know that in the past I was a complete pretentious, insensible bitch who treaded you bad but that is not the real me Jason..."
Jason looked her in the eyes and he saw the sincerity and affection reflected in those blues eyes.
Alison hugged him and said. - "I love you Jason, l will say it more frequently, we had been apart for too long brother but I hope you will give me the chance to get close to you, to love you bro, I really want you to know the real me..."
Jason hugged her back and the blonde didn't notice but her words made appear a tear in Jason's cheek. They were hugging when someone got in the kitchen.
Hanna cleared her throat. - "Sorry to interrupt the sibling moment; but there are people waiting for the food..."
Alison broke the hug and smirked to her friend. - "And by people you mean "you" right?"
Hanna just smiled to the comment.
(In the table)
The diner was perfect; Pam was surprised to see how much Hanna could eat. Alison helped Pam to clean the table for the dessert, those who stood in the table were hearing the laughs between Alison and Pam from the kitchen, the sound of their laughs made Emily smiled.
Hanna broke the bubble moment of Emily with her comment. - "Oh Jesus, your girl will give me indigestion Em.."
Emily smirked. - "So you are not eating the dessert?"
Hanna. - "Hell yes! l will have a piece of that pie!"
Wayne and Jason chucked and it made Hanna blushed
Hanna. - "Sorry for my language..."
Wayne smiled. - "It's ok... Alison is really good at cooking..."
As Wayne was saying that last comment, Alison was arriving with the pie and she replied to the comment.
Alison. -"Thank you Mr. Fields, I hope you will like also the dessert..."
Hanna teased. - "So humble; are you making points with the future parents in law?"
Emily. - "Hanna!"
Pam smirked. - "Well, in that case l must said that I'm happy that Emily found to herself someone who knows how to cook" (She looked to her daughter and said) "At least now I know that in the future you will eat something else than just pizza..."
Emily blushed. - "Mom!"
Pam. - "Honey, let's be honest, you don't cook..."
Alison smirked. - "Don't worry Pam, I will take care of her and make sure she eat her vegetables..."
Everybody laughed and Alison started to serve the pie. They were eating the pie and with the first bit Jason showed a big smile.
Jason smiled. - "It's delicious..."
Alison chucked. - "I'm glad that you liked it..."
Pam. - "Everything was delicious and l must admit that I had a great time as we cooked together; Ali, we should repeat it more frequently..."
Hanna. - "I second that motion!"
Alison blushed. - "Thanks Pam, I also had a lovely day..."
Wayne was having a real good time, he decided to prolong the night...
Wayne. - "Why don't we play a game? We are good in number to play the game that I bought you last time Emy..."
Emily. - "Ahh… Pictionary?!"
Jason. - "I have always wanted to play it..."
Alison grabbed Jason arm and said with a smile. - "So let's play it!"
Two teams were made 'Team Fields' vs 'Team blonde'; Hanna was the person who proposed the name of her team and Jason & Alison just nodded in agreement.
They played, and for the 1st time in his life, Jason knew what was like to have a family night. The blonde team won and Hanna couldn't avoid making the dance of the victory.
Alison leaned her head on Jason's shoulder and said. - "We make a good team, don't you think?"
Jason looked down and chucked. - "Yes, we do..."
Jason asked for the bathroom and Pam indicated him where it was.
In the bathroom, Jason was washing his hands when he received a sms.
SMS of Cece: "Jason, don't forget the plan; you need to bring Alison to the house and leave her alone at 10pm, I will take care of the rest -A"
Jason typed back. - "You don't need to sign as -A with me, I know you Cece..."
Cece. - "Oh, it's the habit..."
Jason sighed; he was putting water in his face when someone knocked the door.
(Knock, knock)
Alison. - "Jason? Is everything ok out there?"
Jason murmured to himself. - "No..."
Alison felt concern when she didn't hear a reply, she was leaning her head in the door when she got surprised and she made a little jump when his brother opened suddenly the door.
Jason. - "Sorry, did I scare you?"
Alison. - "No, I was just checking on you... you don't look well, does something that you eat make you feel sick?"
Jason looked to those blues eyes which revealed a real concern for him.
Jason gulped. - "It's not the food... I-I'm just tired..."
Alison. - "Oh... In that case we should be going..."
Jason. - "Yeah..."
Alison got back to the living room and announced that they were leaving; she said good bye to everybody and everybody left the living room and only Emily & Alison stood alone in there; when the blonde was approaching to Emily, she noticed that something was upsetting the brunette.
Alison. - "What's wrong Em?"
Emily hugged her tight as she said. - "I don't want you to leave..."
Alison smiled and hugged back. - "I will see you tomorrow..."
Emily wanted to say something but she got speechless when the blonde put a deep kiss in her lips; Emily felt Alison's tongue in her mouth and all her worries disappeared for one second. The kiss was brief but perfect; they were rubbing their noses on each other and making little kisses when they heard Hanna calling Alison.
Hanna yelled. - "Ali, Jason is already waiting for you outside!"
Alison kissed Emily again and said. - "See you later..."
Emily gulped and she just saw her girlfriend leave.
(In Alison's house)
Alison and Jason got in the house and Pepe welcomed them at the front door. Alison pated her dog and asked to her brother.
Alison. -"Jason; can you take Pepe out for me? I didn't walk him out today… "
Jason looked to his watch and he saw that it was perfect timing: 9:55 PM
Jason. - "It looks that Dad is not still here, are you going to be ok if l leave you alone for a moment?"
Alison replied. - "Don't worry Jason, I will be ok..."
(In the streets of Rosewood at around 10 PM)
Jason was walking with the dog and struggling with himself. He looked to the dog and asked him for advice.
Jason sighed. - "What should I do?"
Suddenly his pocked started to vibrate when he received a sms.
Alison's sms: "Hey bro! What do you think to do a movie night when you're back?! Let's see your favorite movie 'Pretty women' ok! I will make the popcorns!"
**** Music background: Stop me by Mark Ronson ft Daniel Merriweather***
Jason read the message and when he looked down to the dog; he made his mind as he said out loud "Fuck!" He started to run and the dog follow-up him.
(In Alison's house)
Alison was in her room when she pressed 'send' on her phone; she smiled when she did it, she was already enjoying the idea of having a nice movie night with Jason. She thought to send another message to Emily in order to wish her good night but she heard a noise downstairs so she went down to check it. All the lights were off, the girl went to the living room and she turned on the closer lamp.
Alison. – "Jason?"
The blonde didn't notice but a black hoodie was behind her. Suddenly, Alison felt a hit on her back, she fell on the floor; then the black hoodie hold her from the hair and made her stand up; the black hoodie and Alison started to struggle, the black hoodie grabbed Alison's scarf and started to strangle her with it. Alison motioned her hands around her and her hand found a letter opener; she tried to defend herself with it but she lost all strength when she was out of air, the letter opener dropped from her hand and she was fanning when someone came in.
Jason yelled as he pushed the black hoodie. – "No!"
The black hoodie fell; Jason took Alison's hand and he leaded her outside towards the car. Pepe was bitting the black hoodie and that gave time to Jason to put Alison in the car and once in it, he did his best to run as faster as possible from there. He was driving very fast and nervously; he was sighing when he looked to the blonde beside him.
Jason. – "Are you ok?!"
Alison was coughing loud when she replied. – "I think so…"
Jason said with watery-eyes. – "I'm sorry, really sorry, I didn't mean to…"
Alison. – "It's not your fault…"
Jason. – "I'm being helping them, I-I didn't want any of this to happen, you must know that I really don't want to hurt you!"
Alison confused. – "Jason, I don't understand; what are you saying?"
Jason with tears in his eyes. –"Ali, I-I... I couldn't say 'no' to mom, I tried but I'm weak…"
Alison's mind started to put the pieces together and her eyes got bigger when she realised what he was trying to say.
Alison. – "Jason, are you saying what I'm thinking that you're saying?! Is mom '-A'?!"
Jason turned his face towards the blonde and he said with tears in his face. – "Charles…"
As Jason was going to answer the question of Alison, the blonde noticed a big light coming out from his brother side.
Alison yelled. – "Jason!"
Before both could react, they were hit by a trunk.
