shieldslaveofjustice01220 Jon is almost 13 but and writers confession time: he was supposed to be two years and not just one whoops. Anywho yes I'm with holding any relationship vibes for a while after this I just wanted to get it out but I swear it's not going any farther for a few years at least ;). But time is about to go into warp speed so I can go back to 2 hearts. YAY!

Well this is fun, Snowie thought. Nobody talked on the way to the mall if she tried Matt would only turn up the music or tell her to shut up. She grabbed Jon's hand one time, when Matt told her that hopping to keep him quiet. She looked at him, begging him to not say anything. He gripped her hand tight. He can't say anything, Snowie thought. They pulled into the mall parking lot only when he parked the car did Matt finally say something.

"We'll meet you two at Bran's at three. Understand? No later." With that he got out.

"Do you need any money?" Hope asked.

By this point Snowie was annoyed with her too. "No Mother."

They left Matt and Hope at the food court and went into the arcade. Jon still did say anything he was waiting for her to finally say what was on her mind. It only took a few swings at skee ball for her to break her silence.

"Why can't she stand up to him? I mean I do it more than she does." She threw the ball hard and surprisingly hit the hundred hole.

He looked at her judging how to begin. "I don't know. I remember my mom never said anything to my dad and vis versa. I do know one thing though I was to punch his face."

She cracked a smile. "I might pay to see that. But only if I can join in." She threw a few more balls, "Jon, where is your dad?"

His laugh was almost bitter. "I don't know. Around or in jail I guess."

She let it drop and tried to get their moods back up. Challenging him always seemed to work so she did just that at Fuss Ball. It was something she was really good at but he was better. He ended up beating her three times plus a few more times at different games. By the end of the three he had all her tickets and an IOU. His mood was back to regular goof ball but she was still annoyed and confused. She was happy though that she'd managed to get him back up.

"I have to go to the bathroom."

"'Kay. I'm gonna cash out and then I'll meet you by the door." He said walking to the counter.

Jon watched her go and dropped the happy act. Sure beating her was fun, he loved getting a rise out of her. But he seen through her plan. She hadn't upset him about asking about his dad, hell there was nothing there to upset. But he was angry at Hope for letting her husband talk to her that way and just plan pissed off at Matt for doing it. He only put on the fake happy to make her happy. Truth is him acting happy only annoyed him. He set the tickets on the counter he'd seen her eyeing the two foot tall dinosaur when they had walked in. That's just what he got. He felt stupid walking out holding the freaking thing and then standing by the bathroom doors. He hoped Hanna didn't show up, she'd never let it go.

Snowie walked out and seen Jon leaning against the wall trying his best to not be seen holding a giant stuffed dinosaur. She couldn't help it she started laughing when he heard her he looked her way with a shut up expression.

"Jon. I'm sorry but I didn't think of you as a stuffed animal person." She said laughing.

"I'm not." He threw the thing at her. "But I was being nice to you."

She smiled so big it hurt her face. But then she just started laughing again. He just walked away leaving her there laughing and holding a two foot dinosaur. She stopped laughing. She couldn't walk and hold it, it was half her height and almost weighted the same.

"Jon!" She tried to run after him. "Wait! Okay I'll be nice!"

He stopped and laughed at the sight of Snowie carrying a huge dinosaur and trying to run. "I'll carry the damn thing." Yep, he thought, I'll do anything for this girl. I am screwed.

"Thank you. Gees it weighs more than me." She handed the thing back to him.

He tucked it under his arm. "Come on we're going to be late."

They actually beat her mom and Matt but she didn't say anything about it on the ride home. Hope informed Snowie she was having to work, and Matt was going out with friends. She and Hanna would have the house to themselves, as Jon was having to stay at his house for show that night. Snowie knew Jon wouldn't stay at his house for any longer than he had too but she'd asked him to sleep in the guest bedroom so she and Hanna could have a true girl's night.

Once they got home Jon helped her pull a spare bed from the guest room to her room for Hanna. "Why didn't I know about this before?"

"The bed?" he nodded. "I don't know. You never seemed to care about sharing my bed with me, so I guess I never thought about it."

"Oh." He said flipping through the channels as she made it up.

It occurred to her then that he might but hadn't said anything about it. "You don't do you? If you do I'm sure I can either leave this one in here or you can have the guest bedroom."

She no sooner had the answer out when he said, "No. I mean no I don't mind, never have. You?"

She raised up and looked at him. "No. But I just thought…"

"Well don't think, apparently it's bad for you." He joked.

"Ass." She threw a pillow at him.

That night he went home just before his aunt showed up and Hanna was coming at eight. She had time to think about things. She was laying on her couch staring at the ceiling. How had she gotten here? Not physically but emotionally. She wanted to hit something she tried to make her feelings for Jon to go away but even her fake explanation didn't seem to convince herself, nothing worked. She sighed as she got up and walked to the kitchen.

As she waited for Hanna she ate supper and cleaned up. No reason for a dirty house just because her heart was a traitor and she didn't feel like doing anything. The house was almost sparkling by the time Hanna rang the doorbell.

She took a deep breath and planted a fake smile on her face. "HI!"

"What's wrong?" Hanna said walking past her.

Damn, she thought. "Nothing why?

"Because I might not know as well as Jon but over the last couple of months I have gotten to know you and that is the fakest smile I have ever seen. Now spill."

She didn't give up, did she? "There really is nothing wrong. Hanna I swear! We got the whole house to ourselves even Jon is staying at his house and if he does come over he's agreed to stay in the guest bedroom. Everything's great!"

"Liar!" Hanna laughed. "It's about Jon. Isn't it?"

"What about Jon?" Snowie said walking to the kitchen.

"I called it already, remember? Don't try to hide it again, Snowie. You like Jon."

"Okay. Okay. Yes alright. But like I said before nothing can never happen and he can't ever know." She said setting spoons and a gallon of ice cream on the table.

"You are both morons." Hanna said taking a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth.

"Excuse me?"

"I don't know if he's realized it yet but I think he likes you too. And you like him just tell him already."

"Why? I told you we…"

"I know you've talked about it. Blah blah blah."

"And besides we're only twelve."

"He's almost thirteen."

"Really Hanna?" Snowie was getting annoyed not only was her body betraying her Hanna was only feeding it. "Can we move on please?"

"Okay Okay. I'm sorry but really it would be better if he knew, you know?"

They were walking up the stairs so he ducked into the guest room. She liked him? More than friends, from the way Hanna was talking. And how did she always know what he was thinking before he did? Gees! And he could only hope Snowie didn't tell him anything if she did he'd be forced to either break her heart or tell her the truth, neither of which he wanted to do.

"Wanna go watch TV down stairs?"

They laughed and joked about boys as they raced down the stairs. He smiled, good they wouldn't see him coming. Payback is a bitch, Hanna, my dear and well Snowie is just going to be a victim, poor Snow White. He thought and laughed as he put on a black hoodie and shoved the movies in his backpack. They were watching a MTV reality show on when he peeked out. This was going to be good. He crept down the stairs the light from the TV was the only thing that shone. He had to hold his breathe to keep from laughing. The screen went black to go to commercial and he struck. Jon leaned down behind the couch and stayed there. He hit the bottom of it.

"Oh my god! What was that?"

Snowie jumped up. "I don't know!"

Some one hit the lights. He jumped up yelling and grabbed Hanna. She screamed and Snowie attacked hitting him in the head he let go of Hanna and they both attacked him. He covered his head at the same time of trying to take the hood off his head.

"Ow!" He screamed. "Guys! It's me! It's me! OW!" He finally got the hood off. "Ow! Stop kicking me! It's me!"

Snowie stopped and grabbed Hanna. "Jon!" She exclaimed.

"What the hell?" Hanna said kicking him on more time.

He threw off his hoodie and held up his bag of goodies. "Thought I'd crash with some fright."

Hanna and Snowie looked at each other. "Get him!" Hanna yelled and dove on top of Jon. They beat him up a bit more only softer this time and he got a few hits in himself. They fell back laughing.

"Oh my god." Jon was laughing too hard to breath. "You should have seen your faces!"

"Shut up! That was not funny."

"Well if I would have been in on it, it would have been." Snowie confessed. "But really you deserved that."

They stayed on the floor a few more minutes until one of them suggested food and to start a movie. They finally fell asleep on the couch around four a.m. Hanna woke up to find Jon's arm around Snowie and her head on his chest. Awe, she thought, too bad they didn't see them together. She made it her mission to see them together some day sooner or later but she felt in in her bones they had found each other for a reason.
