(Y/n)'s POV

~~~~~~~~~~

Lately Jason has been very forgetful and I've forgiven him every time, of course. I mean, how could you not with a face like that? His smile melts my anger instantly but I'm starting to get fed up. One thing I do keep from him is how his and Kimberly's relationship made me feel. Last week he bailed on me with the same excuse, 'My friends need me.' And the week after that and the week after that. He apologized and said he would improve at managing his time after we discussed it. 

I really believed him this time and hoped things would get better. Waking up this morning I had a pep in my step as I got ready for school. Praying it would fly by and luckily it passed by fairly quick. Running down the hall I threw all my books into my locker as quickly as I could. As the final bell rang I bolted off down to the youth center. After ten minutes of walking I made it from the school to the youth center. 

I fix my hair in the reflection before wiping my sweaty hands on my pants and opening the doors. Before I could get far I ran right into just the man I was looking for. "Hey babe, what's the rush?" I joke but he seemed extremely distracted as his friends called him with them. His watch made a funny noise that made his face fill with panic. "I uh listen I gotta help Kim, we'll talk later," Jason said and moved me to the side to run after his friends. I stood watching that door long after it closed. Did he forget? 

Ouch but maybe if I tell him he forgot our anniversary and he'll repent on his knees. Finishing my third drink, I played with the straw while looking at a spin class in the other room. It's been two hours, where did they all go in a hurry? "Hey Y/n, how's it going? You're looking a bit down kiddo." I agreed with him, nodding my head as I pushed my cup towards him. "I am down, how could I not be?" Ernie slid my drink to me before leaning on the counter, "You can always talk to me, you know?"

"It's just Jason, I guess he's been really busy lately. He forgot about our anniversary, and that's okay cuz he always forgets little stuff when he's stressed out, ya know? It's just..sometimes I feel like his friends are more important than me..I mean not in like a jealous way. I'm glad he has amazing friends and I love them. I um I was just really excited about today.." Finishing my rant I quickly wipe the tear that slipped out.

Ernie put his hand on my arm and gave it a soft squeeze. "I'm sure it just slipped his mind. Have you talked to me yet?" Nodding to him I just felt worse as I continued, "Yeah, he ran off to help Kimberly, sometimes I wonder about them.." I could feel myself getting insecure about Jason and everything about me. Ernie made a face filled with pity that I couldn't stand to be honest.

"I think I'll head home. If I see him, we'll talk about it. Thank you for listening to me, Ernie." I walked through the park and played with loose dogs until it was time to get ready.  I had to pass by Billy's to get to my house. The closer I got to my house, the more I could make out what was happening in Billy's driveway. There were four people around a car, finally making out who it was, I quickened my pace.

It was Jason and his friends, except Kim, who hovered over Billy's car chatting. I put on my best smile and announced myself to the group of boys. "Hey guys, what's up?" Jason smiled before giving me a quick hug. "Not much, just chilling." Zach spoke up leaning against the car. "Oh..did you help Kim? Is she okay?" I asked, still concerned even if I think she's going to steal my man. She's still my friend, I'm just envious of everything about her I guess.

He nodded as he handed a tool toward Billy, "Sure did, she was having a really bad day today." He joked as the others laughed with him, I gave a convincing smile not understanding the joke. So he did forget about today, our anniversary. Feeling his arm around my shoulder brought me out of my thoughts. "Hey guys, come here quick!" Trini yelled from the gauge which made the boys run to her.

Hearing footsteps from behind me I turned to see Kim heading this way. "Hey Y/n! Such a nice day, right?" She said with a huge smile before I muttered "Maybe for some people..." It flew over her head as she talks over me, "Omg my day was going so badly but it got better with the help of Jason and them. Are they in the garage?" She questioned as she was already walking off into the gauge. I stood alone outside still processing how my bad day has gotten worse every second.

That jerk! Maybe his friends really are more important than I am. Stomping down the street I slammed my door before running to cry on my bed. I was still crying when I heard a hurried knocking on my front door. If it's Jason I will close the door right in his face, I swear! I wiped my tears away with my sleeve and shuffled to the door. I unlock it to be faced with the man I least wanted to see at the moment. "Wait, babe!" He spoke before I shut the door right in his face.

Slamming my bedroom door I leaned my forehead on it as more tears fell. Hearing stuff clattering behind me, I swing around to see Jason half way through my window. "Y/n listen..." He started but fell out of the window onto my floor before sitting on his knees. "Jason I don't want to talk to you right now. There's no point to it, no matter how many times I ask you..." I stopped feeling my throat tighten, and I wiped another tear away as his face fell. I stiffened as he shuffled to me and wrapped his arms around my legs. 

"Y/n, I am so sorry so so so sorry." He begged with tears brimming in his eyes but I covered my face with my hands to not fall for it. "Please say something. I'll tell you anything you want." Taking a deep breath all I wanted was answers, "Where do you keep disappearing? Why does your watch randomly go off all the time and you act nervous? How could you forget what today is? Am I really less important than everything else?"

Jason shook his head standing up and hugged me tightly to his chest. "No! You're the most important thing in the world to me. I love you." Pushing him away to give him a wide eyed look, this was the first time he's said the L word. Even though my heart is going crazy, my mind was still clouded. "Do you..?" I whispered, making him furrow his eyebrows at me. 

"It's just you haven't been treating me like I'm important...you keep forgetting about promises, dinners, dates, all about me really...You're always running to help you're friends like I'm a second option..So I think we should just take a break.." I let out a shaky breath as my voice kept breaking. I tried to take deep breaths to calm down my crazy rapid heartbeat.

I closed my eyes as I felt his warm hand on my face lifting it to face him. "I'm the leader of the Power Rangers." He stated with full seriousness as a quick chuckle left my dry throat. "I'm serious, I'm the red ranger. I'm the leader and my friends are my team. Here, these watches help us communicate with Central." He explained as he took his watch off and pushing it into my palm. 

"We're supposed to keep it a secret but I can't lose you..I don't know how I could hold on without you. Y/n, please believe me." Looking at the weird watch in my hand he watched my every movement. "Transform then." He looked confused for a second before I spoke again. "I won't believe you unless you turn in the red ranger right now. I mean it Jason, I'll forgive you but you'll still have a lot of explaining to do." I said crossing my arms at him as he thought for a couple of seconds.

He took a couple of steps back and reached behind his back to pull out something small. He held it out then a sudden flash of light made me block my face. Looking past my arms I truly saw THE red ranger, Jason wasn't lying to me. As I started to walk towards him, he took his helmet and threw it on the bed. "I'm sorry I've been a terrible boyfriend, and I keep messing things up. I just wanted to be a good leader for my team. We put our lives in danger and everything falls on me. I'm responsible for protecting them, the town, the planet, and most importantly you." He explained seeming disappointed in himself.

I reached out for him and gently grabbed his face to make him look into my eyes. "I'm sorry too, I had no idea you were carrying so much." I whispered as I felt his arms wrap around my waist. "It's my fault, I should have talked to you. You're my girlfriend and I want you to stay my girlfriend, if that's alright." He joked as his hand pushed some of my hair behind my ear.

Looking into dark brown eyes, I felt my anger dissipate as his thumb wiped my tears. "One sec.." Jason said before changing back into his regular clothes in a flash. "I promise I will do bett.." But quickly connecting our lips, I felt him smile as his arms wrapped snuggly around my waist. "I love you too, but you still have to make it up to me for today," I muttered in between breaks as we made up for lost time. Don't know why I was  jealous of Kimberly, like she isn't head over heels for Tommy.
