Taken

chapter 33~ she put you up to this?

Lauren's pov:

" who's 'she' ?" I asked.
" your mother." My heart dropped.
" what did she promise you not to tell me?" I asked getting closer to him.

" I cant tell you!" jason said as he leaned his head against the wall. " if you aren't going to tell me im leaving." I said as I turned around.
" no wait! I umm well she is the reason why I started stalking you."
" my mom told you to stalk me..?" I asked confused.
" yeah. Sorta... But not like that " Jason said looking out the window.
" well.. Umm. Do you mind explaining?" I said walking over to him.

"Umm well... so I don't know if you remember, but the time jake came to your house and you two got in a huge ass fight. Well I was in the car waiting for his dumbass to come out and leave. But while I was waiting your mother walked out. I introduced myself and she gave me her number. She told me to call her and that she has things she wants to talk to me about. A week after that I decided to call her and she told me to come over because you were at school and Paul was at work. I was a little creeped out at first but I did as she said and went over. She explained everything with her having cancer, and that she knew she was going to die in a couple of months. She said she didn't trust jake with you and that she wanted me to keep an eye on you two. " I cut him off.
" so you knew about my mother before I did?" I asked.
" yeah." He looked at me and bit his lip.
" continue." I crossed my arms.
" she um told me that if anything ever happened that she wanted me to take you, and to keep you away from Jake and Paul." I cut him off again.
" what's wrong with Paul other than he's a dick?" I asked.

" Paul is part of redhawk. She found out from Jake, because Jake was talking to Paul one day about it."
" Paul, like the ass of a stepfather Paul?" I asked in shock.
" watch your mouth and yes, that's why I had to be careful spying on you at times. Paul hated me just as much as jake did."

" holy shit." This was all too much for me but now I needed to know more.
" alright continue." I sat down on the bed, trying to take it all in.
" umm oh. she had a feeling he would hurt you,Paul and jake. I knew they would because of jakes anger and control over that gang."
" seriously Jason. Why haven't you told me this before?!" I asked upset.
" because your mother made me promise to not tell you!" Jason said.

" I'm out." I got up from the bed walked out the room and I heard Jason come after me but I slammed the door and ran downstairs then outside to the beach.
I started to walk down the beach hoping Jason wouldn't come after me, but he did.
" Lauren!" He ran up next to me.
" seriously Jason leave me alone!" I said as I pushed him away.
" here we go again with pushing me away!" Jason said as he threw his arms up.

I turned around.

" you can't even start blaming this on me Jason!" I said as I got in his face.
"Lauren please." Jason said as he pulled me in closer to him.
" Jason why did you never tell me?" I asked looking up at him.
" I don't know, I just thought you would think of things differently..." Jason said as started walking.
" like what?" I asked.
" like you would think that I don't love you as much as I do."
I walked up to him and faced him.
" Jason, nothing would have changed. I know you love me and I love you too. You have changed my life in ways I can't explain. I just really wish you could've been honest with me." I said as I rested my arms behind his neck.
" I'm sorry." Jason put his arm around my back.
" is there anything else I should know?" I asked.
" your mother. She loved you. You were her world. You probably wouldn't be alive right now if it wasn't for her. You need to understand that she wanted what was best for you, and she knew that I was Best for you." Jason said as he kissed me.
I thought about it for a second.

Jason saved me. He really is the reason I'm still alive. He saved me from jake, nick, denote, and darriss. And now to think of it even Paul, someone I was living with for years has been part of something I had no clue about. Jason... He had more on his plate then he probably signed up for in the beginning with me but he stayed with me.
"Thank you for saying that. I forget sometimes. I love you." I leaned up and kissed him.
Our tongues interlocked with each other's.
After a couple of minutes I let myself down and he grabbed my hand.
" we should probably go back to the house and tell them everything is okay." Jason said.
" yeah Ariana looked scared as shit." I chuckled.
