Wanted: A Jason McCann Story

Don't Come Back

It's been a week since they took Jason to prison. It's been so hard on me. I have exactly two more weeks at school and the students here are really testing my patience. People say things to me that makes me want to do things I can't do. If I get into another fight, I could get expelled. Maya and Jaden aren't really helping. They have their own problems.

I sometimes leave school early just to avoid fights. I was so looking forward to today though. I was going to visit Jason today. We would talk through a glass using a phone. Jason didn't talk much though. He would be mean sometimes but I know he doesn't mean anything he says. I hope he doesn't.

I arrive to the prison and ask for Jason. After an hour of waiting they finally let me see him. An officer brought him in. He was wearing an orange prison jumper. He had a mean look on his face. He also had a black eye. It's only been a week. I run to the phone. He roughly grabs the phone while I grab the other. "How did you get that black eye ?", I ask him.

"In a fight, Y/n. How else do you get a fucking black eye in prison ?", he says rudely. "Sorry, I just got scared.", I say. "Well, stop it. It's annoying.", he says rolling his eyes. I just sigh. "How are you ?", I ask him. "I'm in prison. You should be able to answer that question yourself.", he says. "I know, I know. Do you know when their letting you out ?"

"No, I don't. If I did, I would've told you. That would've been the first thing I would've said to you.", he says rudely. "Jason, can you please stop being rude to me ? I'm just looking out for you !", I tell him. "I'm sorry, you don't know how bad it is in here !", he says.

"I got it just as bad as you do !", I yell. "You know what Y/n, just leave !", he says. "What ?"

"You heard me. Leave. I can't do this anymore. You're driving me crazy !", he yells. "Jason, I di–", he cuts me off. "No, I don't wanna fucking hear that shit ! Leave and don't come back !", he yells. From the looks on his face, I could tell he meant it. "Alright fine. Fuck you, Jason !"

Regret formed in his eyes. I slammed the phone down and got out of my chair. I kicked it then walked out. How could Jason do this ? I thought we meant something to each other. He goes to prison, stays for a week, and now gets pissed at me. I don't have time for that. I go to the hideout where everybody is and slam the door shut.

I leaned on the door. Anger and sadness filled up inside me. Everyone was now looking at me. I couldn't talk to anyone. I was speechless and pissed off at the same time. I scream and began to punch and kick the door causing my knuckles to bleed out. Domo came over and wrapped his arms around me to stop me. I bawled. Tears kept coming and wouldn't stop. I won't go back to that prison.
