Royal Crime

Twenty-Five

I wake up to music playing and the smell of burnt food. I open my eyes and see I'm alone, its noon making my eyes widen, I've never slept in past 10am. I quickly get up and sniff the air then cough

"What the" I say, I quickly rush out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen my eyes widen to see the guys trying to put out a burnt pancake
"What are yall doing?!" I yell making them look at me
"Ummm" Jason goes, I laugh
"We were trying to make you breakfast" Fredo says, I shake my head with a smile on my face

"Thats sweet and all but cereal would have been perfect" I say, Za stands straight
"I told yall!!" He yells, I giggle as I walk over and put the pan, with the burnt pancake on it, in the sink then turn the cold water on then off.
"It's cause, you made us breakfast yesterday and we thought it was our turn to do this for you" Jason says, I smile

"That was a very sweet thought but I would have been fine with cereal or a donut knowing none of you are good at cooking" I say, he nods
"Well, I got you a donut because I knew this wasn't going to end well" Taner says, I grin as he hands me a donut on a napkin
"Thank you Taner" I say and kiss his cheek as I walk around him to the refrigerator and get milk, then I turn around to see Jason glaring at Taner while Taner is smirking making me furrow my eyebrows

"Jason, come with me" I say walking to him taking his hand in my free one and pull him with me through the back door then I let him go as I sit down on the swing bench. I take a bite of my donut then a sip of milk
"Why were you staring at Taner like that?" I ask as he sits next to me
"Why did you kiss him?" He shoots back and I look at him in shock
"Jason, it was a friendly kiss on the cheek" I say, he shakes his head
"Not for him. Miley, cant you see? He likes you" He says, I shake my head

"And I like you, thats all I see" I say then take a bite of my donut
"I would have killed that son of a bitch by now but I need him for the plan for the end of the month" Jason says shaking his head at himself and I finish my food then stand up
"Come with me" I say, he stands up taking my hand in his

"Where to?" He asks as I start walking
"My favorite place" I say smiling as I lead him to the tree house and stop right where the trail ends
"Is this where you went yesterday?" He asks, I nod
"Want to go inside or keep walking?" I ask, he looks at me with squinted eyes

"Keep walking?" He says in more of a question and I giggle as I keep walking
"You know what I noticed" I say
"What?" He says wrapping his arms around me as we walk
"You're a softy when we're alone" I say grinning
"No I'm not" He says, I stop walking and turn to face him still in his arms
"Oh yeah? Prove it" I say, he furrows his brows
"How?" He asks, I push him off me
"Yell at me" I say, he's silent then shakes his head

"I cant yell at you" He says, I raise my eyebrow
"Why not, because you're a softy with me" I say smirking, he sighs then nods with a serious look on his face
"Yes, I am a softy with you because you're my weak spot" He says, my smirk goes to a small smile
"I'm your weak spot?" I ask, he nods and takes my hands in his
"Miley, if anything happens to you, I wont be able to stand it" He says, I give his hands a squeeze
"Nothing will happen to me Jason" I say

"I'm Jason McCann, when my enemies find out I have a weak spot thats where they'll aim" He says, my eyebrows shoot up
"Well I guess I'll have to triple the security" I say giggling then peck his lips
"This isn't a joke Miley, I'm being serious" He says, I pull away from him

"I know its serious Jason, I'm just trying to lighten you up. Look by the end of the month, we wont ever see each other again so your so called enemies wont know your weak spot is the one you kidnapped" I say and push past him running back to the house as I see the sun is setting. I walk through the door and ignore everyone as I run up the stairs

"Miley!" I hear Jason call my name but I ignore him and go in my parents room then shut the door and lock it as he comes up the stairs
"Miley!" He yells, I sit on the floor
"Leave me alone Jason" I say as he knocks on the door
"Miley, let's talk" He says, I shake my head
"Leave me alone" I say then its silent, his footsteps go from right behind the wall to the stairs.

I let out a long sigh with my eyes closed, then I open them and see white covers over everything in my parents room. I stand up and take a cover off the long dresser to reveal an old record player, perfumes, a note pad, pencils and more things. I open a drawer and see old records, I smile as I remember this is my dad's collection, he would always play something everyday.

I run my fingers over them then pull one out and I blow on it removing all the dust, a smile forms on my face as I see its Elvis, one of my fathers and I's all time favorites. I pull the disc out and place it on the player then the music starts and I smile as I walk over to the bed and pull the cover off, I lay on their bed and grip the sheets as I lightly sing along with Elvis and sleep pulls me in.
