A week's time

Jenny ran the three flights of stairs leading up to the roof and when she arrived at the top, she had been fully out of breath. She saw him standing by the fence surrounding the roof, looking out over the school grounds. She took a deep breath before loudly saying, "What was that all about!? I have told you this before. You can be mad at me, but don't take it out on others!" Jason turned around and with a jeer he responded. "Well, I can't hit you now can I?" Complete with a taunting eyes and a condescending smile. Before turning his back to Jenny again. Jenny was a bit taken aback by his words, but refused to falter. She had been the one in the wrong and it was understandable for him to be angry if she showed up like this. So, she shouldn't be reprimanding him right now, instead she should be apologizing and getting him to give her a second chance.

She took another deep breath before she said, "Jason, I know you are angry and you can be angry all you want, but please don't run away from me. Don't push me away and let me explain. Let me make it up to you."

Jason scoffed and continues to ignore her. "Please Jason, just talk to me. Yell at me. Curse at me. Be mad at me for however long you need to be, but please don't ignore me."

Jason finally spoke to her, but his words were filled with venom. "You keep yapping away, but who gave you the right to call me Jason?"

Though Jenny felt hurt by his words, she wouldn't give up that easy. At least he was speaking now. But if she wanted him to speak with her instead of just to her, she would need to change her tactics "Fine. If you don't want to talk, I will go away."

This seemed to have worked, because Jason turned around with a sense of panic and a spiteful look on his face. "Tell me did you really love me? Or was it all just some game of make belief to you? Or maybe it was all just in my head."

Jenny looked a bit hurt and mad when she replied his accusations with a, "You know I did."

Jason angrily replied, "Do I? Why would you leave me if you loved me? You said staying by my side would be selfish, but making a decision on my behalf without giving me any say, warning or ask my for my opinion, is what I find selfish. Saying how you don't mean to hurt me, is like people saying they don't mean to offend you before they say something that they know will do just that. Just like you knew how much it would hurt me. That it would break me. Even after you left, you never once showed any consideration to my feelings. Why did you not send me one message, give me one phone call? Even when you did return you didn't bother letting me know. Instead you made me think that I was going mad by hiding in the house, taking care of me as I was asleep, without telling me about it. What did you think I would be grateful? Or are you going to deny that was you?"

Jenny looked down a bit guiltily. "I wasn't trying to hide it from you or make fun of you. I just didn't know how to tell you. That was why I wanted to ask the others for advice."

Jason responded sarcastically. "Ah was that what it was. So the 'long time no see' was the best you guys could come up with hmm? Brava. That really wrapped up all the emotions and explanations that I needed. No further elaboration needed."

Jenny was getting frustrated by the situation. Feeling like they were getting nowhere. "No..You know that wasn't it...Ugh. Never mind. Look this back and forth isn't helping. You are clearly still upset and I don't want to anger you any further by forcing a conversation right now. I will be here and I will be trying to earn your forgiveness, but I will need a sign to know that you are willing to work on it. If you decide you want to give us a second chance, I will give you three ways of letting me know. The first and most obvious way is of course just telling me, but just in case you can't be honest with your words, I have thought of two other ways. As you have already figured out I am staying in the guestroom downstairs. So, if you can't tell me you can put a red rode in front of my bedroom door. Or, as a third option, you can kiss me. If I don't get one of these signs in a week's time, I will take it as you being over us and wanting to move on, and I will disappear out of your life."

This seemed to have angered Jason. "Ché, you sure are arrogant. Talking about leaving as abruptly as you coming back." As he said those words, he starts moving closer and closer to Jenny dangerously. Making her instinctively back up, till her back was against the wall. "J-Jason...Jason. What are you doing?" This is when Jason grabs her wrists with one hand without saying a word and holds them above her head. He uses his other hand to lift her chin up before placing a passionate, yet rough kiss on her lips. The kiss was something she had never experienced before and she could feel his anger through his lips. Even as she is gasping for air, he continues till she is completely weakened. He bites her lip, making the corner bleed slightly and as his face is just inches away from hers he says with a taunting expression, "Don't consider this me forgiving you. I just wanted to level the playing field. We can't have lust causing me to send the wrong message. Now I can ignore you till your little deadline and make myself loud and clear." Before letting go and walking away. Slamming the roof door behind him.

Though I am not as far as I wanted to be, I am able to put out two additional chapters for today :D
