It's been a while since I've had a chance to write. More or less I've just been lazy, and as I predicted right after I wrote it, I'm probably not going to finish this story before I go back to school, August 14. I will keep writing though, and my updates shouldn't be this far apart anymore.
It was a few days until Jasey saw Remy again. Everyone had been keeping extremely busy. Professor Xavier went off with Storm to meet some new "dangerous" mutant, and Logan caught a whiff of Sabertooth and took off to lure him away from the mansion. The Prof ordered all training sessions to be put on hold until he came back. You'd think things would be pretty tame. Well that's a very wrong assumption.
It was finally the weekend and, to Jasey's dismay, no teen wants to sit around and waste it. Friday night wasn't that bad. Scott and Jean took Kurt and went to one of Duncan's parties, so it was mostly the younger teens left. In an attempt to make everyone happy, Hank hooked up a projector, so they could all watch a movie. Unfortunately that was something everyone fought over, but in the end they settled on a new Teen Slasher.
Not knowing what else to do with her evening, Jasey opted to lie on the floor next to Rogue. She looked thrilled that no one other than Kitty wanted to watch another sad Lifetime movie.
"So have ya seen this one yet?" Jasey asked.
"Nah, but ah hear it's pretty gory." Rogue said absentmindedly staring at the ceiling.
"Great…" Jasey hugged her pillow. She always got queasy at the sight of blood.
Soon everyone had their popcorn and was where they wanted to be. The lights flicked off and the movie started. A girl was running down a dirt road screaming, she kept turning around to see what was following her. There was nothing there. She stopped to catch her breath, there was suspense music, and she turned back around. Nothing was there either. She pulled out her cell, which of course had no service. Then a large black shadow ran across the road behind her. She gasped and started running again. The creature grabbed her ankle and pulled into the trees. There was shrieking and then blood spattered the camera, which spelled out the title.
"Ewww." She cringed. At least it looked more like tomato juice than blood.
The movie went on, though it was pretty predictable. The girls, and Jamie, screamed in all the right places. And in the end the hero and heroine emerged from a burning house nearly unscathed. Another black shadow flashed behind them as they drove away, and then the credits rolled.
"Well that was…interesting." Jasey said turning to Rogue.
"Ehh I've seen better." She didn't look totally satisfied.
Following the crowd Jasey went up to her room. She threw her pillow on her bed, put her pj's on, and headed back down stairs. Pretty much everyone had gone to bed, but Jasey wanted to catch Conan tonight. The cast of Gossip Girl was on tonight, and she couldn't wait to see Chace Crawford.
Just as she had hoped no one was in the TV Room. Jasey sprawled out on the couch and flipped NBC on. During the first commercial a chill ran down her spine. She froze. Someone was watching her. She had a feeling she knew who it was and, unaware of their intentions, she pretended to sleep. A few minutes passed and she wasn't sure if they had left yet, but the commercial was over and she didn't want to miss the show.
She opened her eyes and jumped in surprise. Remy has moved to sit in the chair next to her.
"Sorry. Did Remy wake ya?" He smirked.
"Errr…no I was just resting my eyes." She lied hoping she wouldn't get caught.
She tore her eyes away from him to refocus on the reason she was there. Chace Crawford. A small sigh escaped her lips, but it didn't go unnoticed. Remy studied her face carefully, and glanced back at the TV.
"Ya like the way he looks, Chere?" He asked carefully.
She blushed, "Well yea…I mean it's not just that. I love the way his voice sounds too."
Remy chuckled, and turned back to the interview for a while. When Conan brought up the gay rumors about Ed and Chace, Remy didn't hesitate to laugh loudly.
"What?" Jasey demanded.
"Dey look like dey would be, he's such a pretty boy." He laughed.
She crossed her arms and huffed. Another commercial had started.
"So…" She broke the silence, "How did ya like the movie?"
"Remy didn't watch it."
Confusion flashed across her face for a split second until she remembered not seeing him.
"Probably better off, it wasn't that great." She muttered.
He chuckled at her expression, but abruptly changed to being very serious.
"What are ya doin tomorrow?"
"Uhh." She was surprised at the sudden question. "I don't know really. I had planned on going to the book store, and I'll probably be driving kids around all day, but tomorrow night I have a concert I have to go to with Rogue."
His lips twitched at the mention of the teen. She caught it too and quickly added.
"I guess you could come if you want."
He frowned looking away. "Remy'll think 'bout it."
They watched the rest of the show in silence and when it ended Remy was up.
"Bonne nuit."
"Night." She yawned.
Jasey watched very little of Carson before she trudged upstairs. She knew tomorrow was going to be a long day, so set her alarm fairly early and climbed into her bed, where she dreamed she was Nate Archibald's new lover.
I love feedback!
