Jason went home when classes were over since he had nowhere else to visit,he hadn't seen Celina the whole day ,he even thought she was avoiding him but why would she?maybe he was wrong and just overthinking .when he arrived he decided to freshen up and rest a little before he began feeling bored. well it turned out he really missed Shawn,he was quite annoying sometimes but his playful act really helped ease the boredom since he didn't like too much talking anyway.
He decided to do some research on names , flowers, different places and their cultures as he always did .when it was dinner time ,he came down to eat but found himself sitting alone .
"where is thena?"he asked the maid serving .he was getting use to not eating with his parents now.
"she must be in her room , sir"
'Again with the sir'he thought ,what was up with the formality?
"sigh.... Anyway,is she not eating?"
The maid pressed her lips together as her gaze shifted a little as if trying not to say something
"I... don't know sir"she finally said
Jason frowned noticing the changes on her face
"what's wrong?did something happen to her?"
"I....I..Am not sure sir"
Jason knew she was not telling him the truth but he understood that being a maid there are things you should not get involved in so he asked where thena's room was and he went there.when he was infront of her door he knocked
"I....g....go...."
"thena?"Jason called when he just heard a mumbling voice.
Athena couldn't get up,she didn't expect to see anyone checking up on her since no one ever did . whenever she started feeling like this with no medicine ,she usually stayed indoors but not for too long since she would find a way to go out and get her drugs but now that she was grounded it was impossible and the pain in her head was getting worse,it felt like her head would explode anytime soon.
"Thena,are you in?"
"yes....am...am"she struggled to put her words together but before she could finish Jason barged in looking worried.
Jason had decided to go in as he had a feeling something was wrong .when he walked in ,thena was in bed and lord ,she looked terrible.she was covered in sweat as she trembled continuously.she sat on the bed with her chin on her knees and head down . Jason rushed over and touched her head to check and she was burning hot
"thena what's wrong?you are so hot"
"I am fine"she said almost in a whisper
"no,you are not.we need to call a doctor now"he grabbed his phone to call their family doctor but thena held his wrist
"no!!!!. please don't, am...am okay ,I just....need...my...meds"she took a breath between her speech scared that her parents may find out if their family doctor was involved.that was the reason she went to another doctor when she started feeling uneasy and behaving weird.it had first started with her temperament,she got angry for no reason and shout a lot but she was now able to at least put her temper under control but her headache started .she didn't tell anyone cuz she didn't want anyone thinking she was crazy ,they already thought she was stupid and useless anyway.
"what are you talking about?
she reached for her bag and took out the empty medicine can and gave it to Jason ,he wouldn't know the medicine was anyway .she was glad he came to her aid .
"what is this?"Jason asked stared at the empty can in his palm
"just get this for me and don't tell mom or dad okay?"
"Thena you need to go to the hospital"
"just do this for me, please?"
Jason remained silent as he just stared at her for a while before he finally accepted
minutes later.....
Jason returned with her drugs but he was acting strange.He kept on staring at her without saying anything .He brought her food and made sure she ate before taking her medicine but didn't ask her about anything else.Athena thought he was going to bother her with all sorts of questions but he just kept quiet,he stayed with her until she felt sleepy .Thena felt awkward receiving care from someone she called family but it felt good to at least have someone around,for the first time in a very long time she felt loved and it was something she could give anything for.she only hoped this would last and he wouldn't turn his back on her later on.
****
The last two months had been well....good . Jason somehow became closer with Aggie and Celina , although he still felt she was keeping her distance from him .Celina on the other hand was somehow convinced that he wasn't a bad guy and even was even beginning to believe she really liked him but was not ready to let go of 'jason' yet ,her engagement with zain was still intact which also kept on bothering her.
Jason had come back home like any other day when he met his mom at the entrance waiting for him.
"jay, welcome back"she smiled
"why do you look so happy?"
"I have a surprise for you,come in"
"what surprise?"
"you will see "
Jason walked in with his mom and the surprise was indeed....very surprising
"Shawn??!!!"
"long time no see....monk"he smirked
