ROGUE

28 : In Front Of My Mother

Your POV

Jason charged into the living room like a raging bull.
His eyes were dark and wild with anger, and his body shook from the rage.
How the hell did he know I was here?

He approached me in a frenzy and grabbed my shoulders, shaking me aggressively, but not hard enough to hurt me. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" He spat, ignoring his mom as if she was invisible.
I stayed silent, suddenly feeling as if I had nothing to be sorry for. I needed answers, and if Jason wasn't going to give them to me, then I had every right to look for them.
"Fucking talk, Y/n."
I stared up at him, completely calm and unaffected by his inhumanly state.
Jason no longer scared me because I knew he would never hurt me intentionally.
However, my lack of speech was driving him insane.
"You know what," he muttered to himself, and before I knew it, I was slammed up against the wall whilst his mother watched in horror.
Jason was making me look stupid, this was happening only minutes after I told Pattie that we were in love with each other.
Great.
"If you don't fucking talk in the next five seconds I'm gonna-"

"What?" I screamed at him, completely cutting him off. "What the fuck are you gonna do to me, Jason? The only thing that really hurts me is when you keep secrets. I can't fucking handle it anymore."

"I can't tell you my secrets, Y/n!" His voice grew louder and his eyes darkened. "We'll both fucking die if I tell you anything."

"Bullshit!" I snapped.

Jason menaced at me for a moment before he spoke again. "You've got a lot of nerve, Y/n," his voice was icy and the way he said my name was unfamiliar. "How fucking dare you come to my hometown, and think it's half-acceptable to meet my mother."

I grabbed fistfuls of his shirt in my hands and clenched them tightly, pulling him closer to me just to show that I wasn't scared of him and just how furious he was making me. "YOU THOUGHT IT WAS HALF-ACCEPTABLE TO KILL MY MOTHER. SO HOW FUCKING DARE YOU SAY THAT TO ME?" I had never screamed at anyone with so much hurt and anger as I did just then.
I didn't care about whatever consequence was coming my way, I just wanted to let him know that I wasn't going to let him walk all over me anymore.

"I had to kill your mother." He snarled.
His words ripped through me and tears pricked my eyes. I tried to think of the right thing to say, but I fell silent.

Someone standing at the opposite end of the room caught my eye and hatred ran through my blood.
Ben stood there, smirking and enjoying himself.
I told you, he mouthed at me.

One hard push and I managed to heave Jason off me, he stumbled back as I caught him off guard.
If his body wasn't covered with bruises, cuts and burn marks, I wouldn't have been able to move him one inch.
I stormed over to Ben, blood racing, heart pounding.
I connected my palm to his face and the sound of my skin slapping against his echoed through the room.
My hand instantly stung from the force.
I had never, ever hit anyone before, and I surprised myself as his face swung to the left, the veins in his neck pulsing.

"You're a fucking cunt." I hissed.
His jaw hung open as he realised what I had just done, I noticed Jason in my peripheral vision, who had the same reaction.

"What the fuck was that for?" Ben rubbed his cheek.

"You know damn well what that was for, Ben." My heart-rate increased, and I fought the urge to slap him for the second time.

"No, I don't." He mumbled.

"Drop dead." The venom in my voice seemed to make everyone flinch. "If Jason knew what you did to me last night, you would be lying here in a pool of your own fucking blood." I seethed, hoping that Jason would take a hint. "But I'm not gonna tell him, cause I don't want to risk Ellie's life. I'm no backstabber."

"You better watch your fucking mouth, Y/n." He grumbled lowly, only for me to hear.

"Watch my mouth?" I said out-loud, completely exposing him.
I had enough, I would find a way to get Ellie out of Ben's house before he got back. "Why? Are you gonna fucking kiss it again?"
That seemed to push Ben right over the edge.
The end of a cold, metal gun was pressed against my forehead before I could even notice him taking it from his waistband.
I chuckled, amused. "I'm no stranger to being threatened with weapons, Ben."

The sound of a gun cocking rang in my ears, I held my breath, only to realise that the sound hadn't come from Ben's gun, but from Jason's.

Jason held his lethal weapon to the side of Ben's head, his jaw clenched and his eyes wild.
"Put it down." He warned intimidatingly.

"Oh my god!" Pattie's frightened voice echoed through the living room. "Please stop it, boys."

"Shut up." Jason didn't take his eyes off Ben, neither did he remove the gun.
Ben glared at me and his hand shook.

I smirked, knowing that Ben didn't have the balls to kill me, especially whilst Jason was holding him at gun-point.
"Do it," I whispered, my voice teasing and amused. "I dare you."

Jason's jaw clenched and unclenched. "Don't make me kill you in front of my mother." His voice was threatening and sincere.

We stood like dominoes for almost a minute, until Ben lowered his gun and left the house without another word.
The sound of his car roared from outside and he drove off, leaving me, Jason and his mother in the same intense atmosphere.
Jason shook his head, stunned.
"What the fuck is-"

"We're not continuing this here," I told him before looking at his mom apologetically. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen."

She didn't reply to me, but she kept her welling eyes glued to Jason.
Eventually, when she spoke, her voice sounded muffled.
"Jason, I miss yo-"

"I don't care."
Jason grabbed my wrist and practically dragged me through the house, slamming the door behind him as soon as we stepped outside.
He pulled me towards Matt's van, muttering curse words under his breath.
"You're never to come back here." Jason spat at me, his eyes flaring with anger. "Give me the fucking keys."

I rolled my eyes and dug around in my pocket, pulling out the jingling keys and practically throwing them at him. "I did it because I need answers."

"Those answers are gonna get you killed."
