Can you guys believe I have been writing this series for the last six years? I started the first book back in 2016! It's crazy. I've never loved something so much and I'm genuinely so proud of it. I am so happy to be able to share it with you all :)
______________________________
It's now been a week since Jason has been gone. Although it feels longer. Justin left two days ago so its been a little quiet. Even though, everyone keeps stopping by. Which I appreciate. I feel like I haven't really seen anyone seen since Jason left, but thankfully they have been stopping by the last two days.
My phone started to ring pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Is that Daddy calling?" I heard Drews voice as he ran into the kitchen. I nodded and handed him the phone with a smile. Jason's been calling at the same time every day now so Drew is able to see him still. Over FaceTime, but still. Drew answered the phone and quickly sat at the table. He's so cute and well behaved. Thank god. "Hi daddy!" He said excitedly as the call connected.
"Hey Buddy. Did you finish your homework yet?" He asked immediately asked him causing me to laugh.
"Yes" Drew said nodding. I walked over and sat next to Drew.
"Hi" I said smiling as I put my head in the view of the camera too.
"Hi my love" he greeted me.
"What are you doing?" Drew asked him.
"I'm actually working out" He said then flipped the camera to show the room full of work out machines before flipping the camera back on him. He is wearing a white tank top and I can see he is wearing a hat. As always.
"You already have big muscles" Drew said with a giggle. I laughed at how cute he is. Jason chuckled too.
"I can get stronger. Look at this" he said then flexed his muscle. My eyes widened a little bit, but I stopped myself from really reacting. But damn. He gets hotter every day I swear.
"Woah!" Drew said and Jason laughed again. "When are you coming home?" He asked Jason and my smile slowly dropped. I know he misses him so much.
"One more week, bud. Hopefully sooner" Jason answered him.
"Okay good" Drew said back with a smile.
"You know, Drew was about to clean his toys that are all over the living room and then we are going to get ready for bed" I told Jason.
"It's eight-thirty over there already?" Jason asked in shock.
"Yup" Drew answered him nodding.
"What time is it over there?" I asked him.
"Two thirty in the morning" He said and my eyes widened.
"Babe, you should get some sleep" I told him.
"Goodnight Daddy we are all going to get some sleep. I'm going to clean now. I love you" Drew said as he got out of his chair.
"Okay bud. I love you too. Goodnight" Jason said then Drew ran off to the living room. I moved the phone so it was fully facing me.
"You can't sleep tonight?" I asked him and he shook his head as he sighed. "What's wrong?"
"I just miss you guys so much" he quietly told me.
"I know, Jase. We miss you too"
"I'm going to head up to my room now and try to sleep. We have a long day tomorrow" He told me and I nodded.
"Definitely get sleep" I said to him and he nodded too.
"Goodnight Angel. I love you." He said and blew me a kiss making me smile.
"Goodnight, I love you too" I said back before he hung up. My smile dropped and I just stared at the table. I want him to think I'm totally okay. But I'm sad. I wish he was here. The days are dragging. I wish they were going by fast. I miss him.
I heard my phone ding and hoping it was already Jason, I looked down at it quickly. But obviously it isn't him. It's Justin. Oh god.
______
Justin: yooo
Me: yoo
______
I stood up and grabbed my phone. As I walked into the living room, Drew was already headed towards me.
"All done?" I asked him with a smile and he nodded. Thankfully, Drew knows to put his toys away and back into his playroom whenever he plays in the living room. "Okay let's go upstairs" I told him and I followed him to the stairs. I went onto my phone again as we walked up the stairs and Justin texted me back.
______
Justin: what are u up to?
Me: putting Drew to bed, what's up?
______
I put my phone in my back pocket as I followed Drew into his room. I wonder why Justin is texting me asking what I'm doing. Maybe he is just trying to check in. I told him he doesn't have to and he can just be normal with me. We don't even talk, we don't text. So I'll be fine if it stays that way. I don't need anyone feeling bad for me right now. Because then I'll just feel worse. I just don't want to think about it. I want to act normally. Jason will be home soon.
"Goodnight, Drew" I said as I helped to pull the blankets on him.
"Goodnight, mommy" He said back and rubbed his eyes.
"I love you so much" I said then kissed his forehead.
"I love you too" he said back quietly then rolled onto his side. I smiled a little at his cuteness then walked over to the door. I shut the light off then slowly shut the door on my way out. I grabbed my phone from my pocket as I walked into my bedroom.
______
Justin: I gotta tell u something
Me: should I be scared
______
What would he have to tell me? I sat on the edge of my bed and just waited. I hope it's nothing bad. He responded pretty quickly.
______

It's about time he gets a girl. We are getting a bit old for all that fucking around stuff. Tomorrow I'll help him plan a cute little city date. Plus he has plenty of money to do something fancy. I have ideas for him.
Tomorrow I told Cameron I was coming over to see Ava because I haven't in a while and I feel bad. I hope she is okay. Probably not, but I still want to help. So I'll help Justin after I see Ava.
Okay, I need to get ready for bed.

"He doesn't care about me at all. Real family wouldn't allow this." Ava said sadly as she has her arms crossed and is leaning against the wall. Her and I are sitting in this room in the basement. She's comfortable with me. Thankfully.
"When I found out that he didn't care, it pissed me off too. He can be a real dick" I said back and she nodded.
"I haven't been outside in months. A tiny window is a not enough fresh air for me." She said then groaned loudly. I feel so bad.
"How are things with Cameron?" I asked her. She shrugged.
"He's tolerable" she said and I let out a little laugh. "I still don't like him because of everything obviously, but he's nice to me. But I can't forgive him" She told me.
"I understand" I said nodding. "I'm going to tell you a story that I haven't talked to anyone about. Well, I talked to Gigi about it, but only right after it happened. I haven't talked about it since." I started tell her.
"Okay" she said with a nod.
"So in the beginning of Jason and I's relationship, there was a point where I just kept getting mad at him for things and whenever he tried to make up for it, something else would happen and we just kept having issues. So his grand idea was to take me to his lake house in a different state for my eighteenth birthday. Sounds sweet right?" I asked with a laugh.
"Yeah it does" she said with another nod.
"It would have been sweet if he didn't go about it the way he did. Get ready for this one" I said and she cracked a smile.
"Oh no. What did he do?" She asked getting interested.
"We were in a fight and he asked my parents if he can take me. I had no idea though. I didn't know it was a plan and I didn't know he asked my parents. So they were out one night and I'm home alone then all the sudden a cloth goes around my mouth and I pass out." I explained and her jaw dropped. "Yup, so I wake up on the plane with Johnson. And I'm screaming at him. Thinking he kidnapped me, so I'm telling him off and saying wait till Jason finds out. Then he laughs at me and tells me it was Jason's idea. So I'm extra pissed off now. We get off the plane and Jason's there waiting for us. He was surprised that I wasn't happy to see him and that I was yelling at him." I said the last part with a laugh.
"Oh my god" she said then let out a little laugh too. "How old were you guys?" She asked me.
"I had just turned eighteen and he was twenty-one." I answered her. "The whole trip, we were basically fighting. It wasn't fun. He really didn't consider it kidnapped because we were dating and my parents knew I was going. But I didn't know I was going and I was completely ambushed. It was awful. I made sure Jason knew to never do that again."
"I can't believe he thought that was okay" she said back.
"I know. It still blows my mind eight and a half years later." I said nodding.
"You guys have been together that long?" She asked in shock. I nodded again.
"Next week is nine years" I told her. We sat in silence for a few seconds, yet it felt a little longer.
"Do you think I should start being nice to Cameron?" She asked as she looked down at her fingers.
"That's all up to you." I answered her. She just stared down at her fingers still clearly in thought.
Honestly I remember that trip with Jason like it was yesterday. I wanted to punch Jason for that. It wasn't fun at all. To be honest, I still think of it as maybe not kidnapping, but almost. They drugged me to get me to go. So it was pretty bad.
**Flashback**
I see Johnson walk through curtains.
"Oh good. You're awake" he said smiling. He sat down across from me and I gave him a nasty yet confused look.
"You kidnapped me?" I yelled. "Does Jason know you kidnapped his girlfriend!"
"Relax and listen to me. Okay?" He told me.
"You kidnapped me and you want me to 'relax'?" I asked like he was crazy.
"Listen to me!" He yelled. I stayed calm and crossed my arms. "Adam was going to come after you and kidnap you. Jason told me to get you before Adam can. We're on our way to New York where we are meeting Jason" he explained.
"My family is going to see I'm missing" I told him.
"We handled that. Jason told your parents that he was surprising you to take you to New York City but not to tell anyone because they might tell you" he said then before I could speak, he started talking. "Oh we're landing" he said and I watched out the window. They're kidnapping me. Even if it's to keep me safe, they didn't say one thing about this. I had no idea Adam was after me. Why couldn't they at least tell me? As we landed I looked back at Johnson.
"Where's my phone and clothes?" I asked.
"In the big bag over there" he said pointing to a VS bag on one of the chairs. We stood up and he grabbed my bag and his. I really wanted to see Jason for two reasons. 1. To punch him in the face 2. To just be with him. It sounds crazy but I couldn't believe this. As we stepped off the private plane, we saw a big van and Jason leaned against it waiting for us. When he saw us he smiled but I had no emotion on my face so he frowned.
"Hey babe!" He said as he saw me.
"Kidnapping me?!" I screamed at him. "You could have at least told me some of the information Jason!" I yelled.
"Come on let's not do this here Angel" he told me. He went to grab my hand but I pulled away and jumped into the van. Johnson was in the passenger seat and some guy was driving. Me and Jason were in the back seat. "I didn't want to freak you out" he told me as we started driving.
"But kidnapping me would make me feel better? Being blindfolded and attacked when I'm home alone in a dark house?" I asked.
"Hey I didn't attack you" Johnson butt in. I ignored him and rolled my eyes.
"I'm sorry I wasn't thinking-" I cut Jason off.
"Of course you weren't" I yelled again.
"Stop screaming at me! You have no right to yell in my face when I'm keeping you safe!" Jason yelled in my face. I was taken back. I stayed quiet and looked out the window. I heard him sigh.
"Angel I-" I cut him off again.
"I don't want to hear it" I told him quietly.
