The pool house

When the day was over and it was time for Jenny to go to her job, Jason still hadn't been able to make a decision. Though he loved how loyal Jenny was once she had decided to trust someone, because that meant she would do the same or even more if his intentions or actions were ever questioned, but right now it was giving him a headache. In the end he decided to confide in his friends as he sent a message to the guys to meet up at the pool house at the Westwood mansion. Considering the sensitivity of the information they were about to discuss, talking in school wasn't convenient. Though the Westwood's had Garry and his family move into the pool house, they had built a second one, an even grander one, next to the one where Garry had taken up residence. Though Jason could invite the guys over to talk inside the main house or in his room, he couldn't risk someone walking in on them or catching wind of what they were talking about it. By meeting up in the pool house, where no one would think to go to during this time of year, he was sure to be safe from any nosy people and more importantly, from the other person involved.

When he came home, he asked the kitchen to prepare some snacks and drinks for the guys and asked Garry to let him know when Jenny came home or when his parents were looking for him. Though not understanding why he wanted to know those things, he hardly ever understood Jason's requests, so he had learned to just go along with it with the thought 'he must have his reasons'. Once the snacks were done they were brought over to the pool house by one of the kitchen staff members and Jason's guests started walking in one by one. Each of them asking the same question, "Why did you want to meet here?". But Jason kept giving the same answer, "Go to the pool house, I will let you all know once everyone is here." Soon they were complete and Jason too could head to the pool house, but not before he had instructed everyone "No one is to come into the pool house." After everyone had nodded in understanding, Jason turned around and closed the French doors behind him.

In a matter of minutes Jason too reached the pool house, that was as grand as a regular villa and could easily house a family of ten. When he came in, the guys were already eating the snacks that had been prepared and were busy guessing what they had been called here for. Nick who had his back facing the entrance hadn't notice Jason entering and said, "Maybe he cheated on Jenny and wants our help to cover it up." Since Jason was an impossible person to read for most people and they weren't much better when he wanted to keep it a secret, their guessing had turned more into joking around, but in that short time alone they had started crossing boundaries they shouldn't cross.

The others who had seen Jason, became silent immediately and turned their face away, making Nick get a good idea of what was happening behind him. But before he could slowly turn around, he was already smacked across the back of his head. Jason placed his hand on Nick's shoulder and lowered himself next to his ear as he whispered. "Be careful with your words, there are some things you shouldn't joke about. You are lucky I have more important matters at hand otherwise you wouldn't get off with a simple smack. I would let you feel the full gravity of those words as I would play that same 'joke' with Elizabeth". When Nick finally dared to look him in the face he saw Jason's eerie face and felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up as he swallowed the lump of fear in his throat. The mere thought of Elizabeth's reaction was enough to make him regret the words he had said and seeing Jason's creepy, menacing smile on top of that was truly frightening. He laughed awkwardly and Jason walked away to take his seat. Once he did he looked up with a serious expression and explained his dilemma to the guys.

Meanwhile Jenny was receiving a tour at her new job from the doctor she was to assist and she couldn't help but feel that he was very cold. Regardless of how much he saw her run to try to keep up with his walking speed, he didn't slow down at all and hastily did what he was probably asked to do, before giving her an even harder time when it was time to actually perform her job. He told his instructions to her at a rapid speed and before she was able to write down the information of the first patient, he had already moved on to the second person. How cold and unapproachable he was to her, that was how kind and friendly he was to the people who lived at the nursing home and the nurses. Which proved to Jenny that he was a kind person at heart, but didn't like her for some reason or maybe he was just testing her? When she returned to the nurse's station to complete her notes on the treatment plans and to update the charts of the patients, she took the chance to ask the doctor about his partiality.
