"And we're done", Marcus claps.

I take a glance at the video of me showing woman empowerment which I'm very passionate about by the way.

"You look like your about kick someone's ass Ralph", Jacky snorts.

"Shut up", I chuckle knowing she's referring to the karate kid.

"Does this represent strength?", I ask Ruth who's taking down notes.

"Honestly yes", she truthful responds.

"Good that was my vision behind this shoot", I smile satisfied.

"Did you hear about the murder that happened on Isaac's block?", Jacky whispers as we walk into my office.

"Murder? Again?", I gasp.

Jason

"Yeah another gang shooting", she responds.

I wonder if she knows about Isaac being involved in the last shooting

"Have you seen Jason today?"

"Aleysa!", Jacky sighs.

"Have you yes or no?", I mutter.

"Yes", she huffs.

I can feel my worry ease down knowing Jason is okay. Just because he dumped me doesn't mean I have stopped loving him.

"Aleysa he still loves you", Jacky huffs.

"What?!"

"I always catch him looking at you when your not looking.. he wants to talk to you but his macho man persona won't let him"

"Did Isaac tell you this?", I furrow my brows.

"Somewhat yeah.. Jason just felt like he's was getting played by you and well you know how these bad boys are so self cautious about their reputations and if you haven't noticed already Jason is very territorial over you"

"Of course them and their reputations!", I scoff.

"He's insecure", Jacky sighs.

"Insecure? Him?", I raise a brow.

"Aleysa how are you so blind especially knowing his life story. Jason has never been committed to anyone before.. why? Because everything he has ever had good in his life has been ripped away from him.. you broke that wall he put up himself by him committing to you making you his girlfriend.. you became "that good thing" in his life again and deep down he's scared you'll be ripped away too like the rest in his life.. when he saw you being flirty with Liam he immediately let those insecurities take over him and a way of protecting himself from getting hurt than what he already was feeling his instant reaction was to end things with you to protect himself", Jacky explains.

"Wow I never thought about that", I shake my head disappointed in myself.

"Aleysa your the one who told me about his little background.. come on", Jacky narrows her grey eyes at me.

"You should consider psychology and becoming a therapist", I advice.

"Aleysa don't change the subject", Jacky sternly says.

"I feel bad now", I slump my shoulder down.

"Plus he also must feel low compared to you", Jacky adds.

"Low?"

"Your very successful at only 17 and come from a rich family.. Jason must feel like your to good for him after all he is not wealthy Aleysa plus your dad has made that very clear.. Believe it or not he's a broken insecure boy"

"Your right Jacky why am I so stupid not to of thought of this", I frown.

"Aleysa don't be hard on yourself that's why I'm here okay now go talk to him", Jacky pulls me in for a hug.

I pull away forcing half a smile turning my heel exiting my office to find Jason. I feel so stupid for always making it about me never once stopping not even for a second to at least see Jason's point of view on things.

Jacky is really good at reading people I wish I had that skill. It would make my life so much easier.

After awhile of looking for Jason. I barge into the music room and there he was playing the piano.

I stand quietly just admiring his good looks and his amazing sculpted tatted body.

My eyes get watery as I see Jason is trying to learn how to play twinkle twinkle little star. I immediately feel so guilty for letting Liam flirt with me.

"Jason?", I mumble nervously.

Jason immediately stops playing standing up trying to walk out of the room. I close the door locking it, so he wouldn't leave anywhere.

"What are you doing?", he grumbles rolling his eyes.

"I miss you", I huff.

Jason says nothing only staring at the ground not making eye contact with me. I grab his arm pulling him to step in front of me.

"I'm sorry for letting Liam flirt with me. I've known him since kids and well as you know I'm to nice for my own good and just don't know how to put a stop to things since I feel like I'm being rude. But Jason I wasn't flirting nor did I enjoy him flirting with me. There's only one guy for me and it's you I swear"

Jason takes a moment to absorb my words before he utters, "I believe you Aleysa I know your not those type of girls to play me".

"Jason I would never ever play you. I really do love you", I cuff his cheek locking my eyes with his light brown hazel ones.

"I let my temper mix with jealousy and forgive me for what I did it's just that seeing other guys around you makes me lose my shit", Jason sighs.

"Jason you have to trust me and stop being insecure.. No one will ever take me away from you I promise.. I'm here to stay", I smile stroking my thump on his cheek.

"It's just I'm scared of you leaving me for someone that can offer you more than I ever can.. someone that isn't fucked up as me.. someone that doesn't have a messed up life.. someone that isn't a criminal", Jason frowns.

"Stop it! Don't you ever put yourself down Jason! I fucking love you for you for the amazing guy that you are! I don't give a damn about no other guy besides you! Jason McCann I will never leave you", I firmly respond looking into his eyes.

"How can you still want me after how I treated you and hurt you?", Jason huffs.

"Jason I understand you.. I know you didn't mean to hurt me.. I know that was your way of protecting yourself from getting hurt by me.. However you do need to stop doing that to me. Jason I'm here to stay that's a promise", I genuinely say beaming at him.

"Wow your really perfect", Jason smiles cuffing my cheek.

"I'm nowhere near perfect Jason if I was I wouldn't of never put you in this situation"

"Aleysa it's just me I need to work on myself for you.. I want us to work your the only girl I've ever loved and been in a relationship with"

"You see Jason this is what couples do.. they fight, talk things out, and then move on stronger than ever", I smile.

"I'm sorry Aleysa I really suck at being a boyfriend"

"No your perfect"

"I don't want you around that guy anymore though he wants more with you than what he leads on", Jason mutters.

"No problem", I respond placing my lips on his.

Our lips now but move in sync together so eagerly. I can tell Jason missed kissing me as much as I have..

I can feel this unexplainable electricity go up and down my spine as he wraps his arms around my waist.

Being in Jason McCann's arms sure makes me feel back at home where I belong.
