"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.

"Oh my god! Jason what the fuck", I'm stunned by all of this.

"They would always beat us, starve us, and I had to even fight one time in order to stop one of the foster girls from getting raped by a mother fucker that had a wife and three daughters. It's all bad in the system Aleysa. We have no fucking voice. If I was rebellious I sure got 10 times worser getting myself into fights at schools and in the streets and that's when I started getting locked up in Juvie. Most people would say being in Juvie makes you feel trapped, but for me it was nothing different I was trapped already being in the system. Juvie became my home and to be honest I'd prefer to be there than in foster homes. Since the age of 14 I've been in and out of Juvie for fights, violating my probation, and failing drug tests"

I'm so baffled by all of this. Jason has been through so much no wonder he's the way he is. Now I understand.

"That's when I meet Isaac in Juvie I was 14 and he was 16. We were in the same unit and the both of us instantly clicked having each other backs. In Juvie you must always watch your back. Isaac and I would always get into fights in there due to punks. Either they were killers, mentally ill, bi polar, psychopaths, or just troublemakers. When Isaac and I were released around the same time we hanged out getting into deep trouble. That's when things in the streets started getting dangerous and we had to carry guns or knives. I never planned on killing anyone Aleysa I'm not fucking crazy, but I had to in order to survive. It was either get killed or kill", Jason bluntly sighs looking at me.

"What do you mean get killed or kill?", I furrow my brows in confusion.

"Isaac and I meet Ace around that time and Ace was a very known weed seller in the neighborhood. Ace always had a shit load of cash while Isaac and I were broke. Isaac at least had a home to go to, but I didn't have shit you have no idea how many times I've slept under bridges, trees, and dark alleys whenever I would run away from the foster system. Luckily Isaac's mom welcomed me into her home and I finally had a safe place to stay at. However I wanted to make money to be able to buy myself clothes, food, and have something going for myself, so that's when I joined Ace in selling dope. I quickly made a lot of enemies since I became popular selling weed in the neighborhood. Fools started hating and well that's when they would come after me, so I had to kill them before they got to me. My first kill was the hardest I didn't want to do it, but I had to or else I wouldn't be here right now. Once I got passed my second kill I became numb making it easier to kill after that. However I have never and will never kill an innocent person. The ones I've killed are drug dealers, gangsters, and just bad people in general, but only if they mess with me"

"Jason you've been through a lot", I sniffled feeling so bad for him.

"Don't cry Aleysa", Jason tugs me in for a hug.

"Earlier the shooting you saw on the news that was us.. we killed those two gangsters", Jason huffs.

I pull away my eyes widen almost bulging out of their sockets.

"Oh my god! You, Isaac, and Ace?!", I croak.

"Yeah, they owed weed money and weren't paying up after so many warnings from Ace plus they were from a gang we have beef with", Jason explains.

"Jason please don't take this wrong, but you need to quit this lifestyle", I sternly say.

"Aleysa I do not want to talk about that", Jason mutters.

"Jason I'm scared for you this life you live is dangerous and your a model at Grey Global you are making money now there's no need for that shit", I firmly say.

"Nothing is going to happen to me I know what I'm doing okay and I make double the money than modeling Aleysa", Jason mumbles annoyed.

I say nothing in response. I'm so annoyed and frustrated with Jason. He doesn't seem to understand he's living a dangerous life. But I don't want to make him regret opening up to me by telling him what to do already. So I just drop it.

"Are you going to break up with me now?", Jason scoffs.

I'm sure any girl would jump out of this relationship after hearing all of this crazy shit, but I'm not scared. If anything I completely understand Jason now. Everything he's been through has made him this way and unfortunately taking this path of a criminal. Jason doesn't like being a criminal, but he had had to do it all just to freaking survive.

"No", I firmly respond.

"What! For real?", Jason splutters a baffled expression on his face.

"Yes I'm for real, I love you Jason. I don't like how your living this lifestyle, but I love you. I'm not going anywhere", I genuinely say.

"Aleysa just know that I never wanted this", Jason sighs.

"I know but please think about what I said okay", I remind him.

Jason doesn't respond. However I could tell he's thinking about it.

"How did you meet my mom?", I steer the subject.

"I meet her a year ago when I was assigned a personal social worker. Ever since then she kept me out of the foster system, but I got into a rumble for the hundredth time at some stupid party and got arrested, so I was sentenced 5 months at Juvie. The day I applied for your company was the day I was barely released"

Wow

"Thank you", I smile.

"For?", Jason raises a brow.

"For telling me everything"

"Are you going to tell your dad though?", Jason frowns.

"No, I would never do that to you. This is only between us", I peck his lips.

"Aleysa, remember when I mentioned my mom would always tell me I'm going to meet a girl who's going to change me for the better?", Jason wraps her arms around my waist beaming at me.

"Yeah?"

"She also said that this "girl" would see the good in me and love me unconditionally and I strongly believe that girl is you", Jason smiles.

I couldn't help but smile like a little girl who gets told she's going to Disney land for the very first time.

I smash my lips on his kissing him so passionately. I never felt what I feel for him for no one. I knew Jason was special from the very moment our eyes locked when he came out of the studio.

Each day I fall deeper and deeper for him. I never thought Jason and I would be here right now. From us fighting with one another flirting here and there to getting on each other's nerves to Jason being there for me when I got in a car accident always motivating me every single day to wake up from the coma venting his love for me.

I swear I still remember the day he said he loves me I wanted to say it back and hug him letting him know I was present, but my body wouldn't do what I would command it to do.

And honestly I believe him telling me he loves me and constantly talking to me about his feelings is what made me desperately wake up. Of course I wanted to wake up for my loved ones and my life, but Jason gave me the extra push.

Jason was there every single day more than my own father that was only there for two weeks for an hour or two out of two freaking months.

Jason has won my heart fair and square. I always believed in true love existing in this world from seeing my parents in love at one point.

But with what my father did and just everything after that it started to demolish my believe in true love.

However Jason McCann coming into my life really brought back my believe in true love.
