The girl beneath the bruises

Spring What?

Hey guys!

I didn't plan on people reading this book, so some things might be a little messy.

I can't thank you guys enough for all the votes, it inspires me to keep going.

Jason ran into his room hurriedly ushering me out of the closet and closing the door.

"What dress? I don't own a dress? Let's go back to the show." Jason talked at a unbelievable speed then scratched the back of his head.

I rolled my eyes.

"Jason, I saw the dress...is-is it for Lindsey?" I asked feeling a surge of jealousy.

Jason looked horrified.

"No, no no no. Never." He answered.

"Then who is it for?" I asked, my patience dwindling.

"I-I have been wondering, do you want to go to Spring Formal with me." Then as if realizing what he asked his eyes got big. "But-But only if you want, you don't have too."

I stared at Jason as he fiddled with his hands nervously.

"Jason?" His eyes met mine.

"Why not ask Lindsey, I'm sure she's prettier than me?" I asked him.

He laughed hysterically.

"You think- You think Lindsey is prettier than you." He was laughing so hard tears came to his eyes.

"Well isn't she?" I asked confused.

"Wait, you were serious?" He asked.

"Well yeah." I answered.

"Of course not! She's only popular because of her sister." He explained.

I nodded.

"So...Spring Formal?" he asked hopefully.

I took a second and nodded.

"Wait really?" He asked.

I nodded.

He picked me up and twirled me around.

Suddenly the door bell rang.

"Um Ashley can you get that, I have to go to the bathroom real quick." He asked.

"Sure." I said laughing.

I ran down the stairs and opened the door.

"Jason's in the- wait Lindsey?" I saw Lindsey standing there.

"What are you doing here, nerd?" She asked with her nose held high in the air.

"I'm staying here for a few days, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Giving Jason one more opportunity to ask me to Spring Formal." She answered. "But I should've known you would be here after what happened in the bathroom." I blushed.

"Well no need, Jason already asked me." I said.

She laughed as if it was the funniest joke in the world.

"Please, now can you get Jason down here?" She asked.

I called Jason and he came running down the stairs.

"Uh Lindsey, how'd you get my address?" Jason asked.

"Not important, gummy bear." My nose scrunched up in disgust at the nick name.

"What is important is that this is your last chance to ask me to Spring Formal, or I'm going with Mike." She said.

"Sorry, I'm going with Ashley." He answered smiling at me.

"I thought nerd was kidding when she said that." Lindsey mumbled.

"Well your loss." She said, the strutted to her car and drove away.

"Jason?" I said.

"Yeah?" He answered.

"Thanks for asking me." I said smiling.

"My pleasure." He said giving me a blinding smile.

We both went and laid on the couch.

He grabbed my hand when we sat on the couch.

I looked down at my hand in his then looked up at him.

He was staring at me.

"Why are you-" I wasn't able to finish my sentence because his lips met mine.

I kissed back and his hands went around my waist. My hands went around his neck and I pulled his closer.

Suddenly the front door opened and someone called, "Jason?"

A woman walked into the room before we were able to get out of our position.

"Hi mom."
