Chapter 27 "Get killed or kill"

"That movie was crazy!"

"Yeah", Jason says throwing the left over popcorn in his mouth.

"So ready for our talk?"

"Ask me"

"What happened to your parents?", I ask intertwining my fingers with his.

"I never meet my father from what my mother told me he left as soon as he found out she was pregnant of me.. all I know is his name is John McCann and he was a woman beater", Jason grits his teeth clenching his fist.

"He used to beat your mom?", I furrow my brows already hating the story.

"Yeah always especially when he was drunk.. my mother didn't have nowhere to go, so she had to suck it up and stay with him which in my opinion was stupid of her"

"I hate your dad Jason"

"Me too and I don't even know him", Jason rolls his eyes.

"Forget him so tell me more about your mother?", I steer the subject noticing how worked up Jason is getting talking about his father.

"Her name is Lucy, she was so kind and very forgiving like you", Jason smiles beaming at me.

I smile peering at him.

"She had me at only age 17. She worked full time as a waitress at some restaurant leaving me with some babysitter until I was 7 years old after that I had to stay home by myself. I would always watch kids play outside feeling the urge to go out and play as well. My mother always told me to say locked in our little apartment after school, but eventually I broke the rule. I got tired of being alone and was just a kid wanting to be a kid you know? However I started hanging around the wrong group of kids that introduced me to weed, drinking, and getting into mess. In my middle school we were the bad boys everyone feared"

Jason pauses sipping on some water before continuing.

"I was always getting suspended for fighting until I got caught smoking on campus that got me kicked out permanently. My mother was so frustrated with me, but I rebelled out like crazy, so I didn't give a fuck. I remember my mother would always tell me that I will meet a girl that's going to change me for the better. I'm guessing thats what she prayed for to be honest I was only 13, so the chances of me changing for a girl was bull to me. All I cared about was getting laid"

I throw a stern glare at Jason on the last part he said.

"But then the day that changed my life forever came. I was kicking it with my boys drinking it up at some party with females when I got a call from the hospital. I rushed to the hospital fearing the worst and that's exactly what came true. My mother got into a bad car accident and passed away at the scene", Jason voice cracks.

"I'm so sorry Jason", I softly huff wrapping my arms around him.

"The hardest shit was seeing her lifeless in the hospital. My world crumbled in that exact moment. I instantly regretted everything I did knowing how much of a disappointment I was to her always stressing her out. She was the only family I had and now she was gone leaving me alone in this fucking world. Child services intervened as soon as they found out I had no family or father to take me in. I was put in the orphanage with all of the orphans like myself and let me tell you that place is horrible your constantly fighting with others and treated like shit by the workers there. The day I lost my mom I lost myself becoming an emotionless rebellious person. I was so bad no one dared to adopt me, so I was thrown into foster care going from home to home. I would only last a week until they returned me due to my behavior and attitude. Some families were nice, but some were bitches that only used us to receive money using it on themselves while abusing us", Jason hisses.
