DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN JASON, CRYSTAL LAKE, OR ANYTHING ELSE BUT MY CHARACTERS :)

Chapter 18

A familiar, yet unfamiliar sound slowly drags me back into reality and out of the dreamworld. The sound not stopping, I groan and begin to stretch, my right arm presses against something and slowly inches up it as I straighten out my arm.

The sound continues as my hand touches something hard and kind of chilly.

I slowly open my eyes to see Jason next to me, his eyes open and my hand on his mask. Immediately I pull away and giggle.

"Sorry."

He looks down at me and back at the source of the vibration sound.

The sound stops and I look around and in the direction it came from, my bag.

Slowly I stand up and walk over to my bag and search for the source of the sound. Eventually I find my smartphone, wow I completely forgot this thing even existed…

I stand up and sit back on the bed, Jason looking at my phone, head tilted.

"It's a phone, I'm sure you have seen one before, probably not one so advanced though…it's the same device people use to call others. It's just more powerful."

He nods and watches my phone.

I turn it on and see a missed call and a voicemail from an unknown, private number.

"…that's not strange…at all…"

Jason looks at me.

I unlock my phone and press the phone up to my ear and listen to the voicemail.

"Good morning, this is the Crystal Lake Research Facility; we would like to speak to Alissandra Matthews about a possible agreement regarding certain matters she is familiar with. We are expecting a call back from her. Don't disappoint us."

The message ends there.

Eyes wide in confusion and partial fear, I look at Jason, his head tilts slowly.

"…have you ever heard of something called the Crystal Lake Research Facility…?" I ask as I put my phone down.

His eyes hold confusion as he shakes his head no.

"Well…listen to this…" Turning the phone on speaker phone, I replay the message left for me.

As the message concludes, he looks at me again.

"…Should I call them back…?"

Jason shakes his head no.

"…But what happens if we don't…?"

He shrugs, not seeming to worry about it what so ever. Slowly he pushes the phone away and pulls me against him, causing me to giggle. I can tell he is trying to distract me from the phone so he will get his way. And I don't mind letting him get his way, especially if he does it like this.

Slowly I cuddle against him, his jacket and gloves still off, he must not have left since last night.

He softly places his head on mine.

"Want some food?"

He seems to perk up at this suggestion, I giggle.

"Come on, let's go." I say as I get up off the bed, gently taking his hand as I stand.

We both head downstairs and to the kitchen and I begin making food as Jason observes.

"Do you want to help?" I ask, looking back at Jason, "You watch every time I cook, why not try and cook something with me?"

He watches me with interest.

"Maybe you can try cooking something simple, like eggs." I smile and take out a pan and put it on the stove and turn the stove on where the pan is and spray it with oil so the eggs won't stick.

I continue working on my portion of the cooking.

"Go ahead and wash your hands, Jason"

He obeys, once he is finished I go to the fridge and grab the egg carton out of it and place it on the counter and return to my cooking. Once I finish cooking my portion of the breakfast, I put the bacon on a plate covered with paper towel and turn off my pan's spot.

"Alright, I'm going to help you with this so you don't get hurt or burn the house down." I giggle.

Jason gives me a look as if saying 'you really think me getting burnt will hurt?'

I laugh, "I just want you to be careful."

I walk over to the counter and grab an egg out of the carton and put it in Jason's hand.

"Alright, this is a lot of the time the hardest part for some people, to try and crack the egg, drop it in the pan without any egg shell getting into it. Try it, tap it against the edge of the stove to where you see a crack, then put your thumbs into the crack gently and split the shell so that the insides drop into the pan."

He nods, understanding the instructions given. He taps the egg against the stove and the egg practically explodes upon impact, a sigh of frustration comes from him.

"Jason, just try it a bit gentler. Not so much strength." I clean up the mess and give him another, which ends up having the same fate as the egg before it.

It takes Jason about 5 tries to get an egg cracked right, I help with cracking it open the rest of the way, to ease his frustration building from the previous fails.

"Want me to take it from here?"

He nods, obviously frustrated to the point of no interest.

"Ok, make sure you wash your hands, raw egg isn't good to keep on your hands." He obeys and washes his hands again before wandering off somewhere in the house.

Sorry about the short chapter, but it's like 6am, I was up all night watchin' Friday the 13ths like I have been for a while now. I watch them to try and keep Jason in character as much as possible, but I'm sure I have failed at that. Anyway if you enjoy the story so far, please REVIEW :D it means a lot to me and Jason! Also, I am and have been designing a Jason Shimeji for you guys if you are interested! Once it is finished, I will upload it onto a website I'm not completely settled on deciding on yet and share the link to the download in a personal message to anyone who reviews or personal messages me asking if they can have one! So you can have a personal adorable Jason from this story wandering around on your computer screen! If you don't know how to install or get a Shimeji to work, look it up...sorry I'm not much help with that…Jason is the first Shimeji I have ever made and it's for all of you!
