Jazz and Dylan followed Damon out of the woods, to find where to stay till when the rain would stop, all through their journey she kept pondering on what just happened and still could not understand any of it.
'He now knows about me. What will I do? Guess he also knows that Dylan is a hybrid too.' She kept thinking as she stood quietly beside the two guys beside her, one big, the other small. They are all quiet, and the silence is really killing.
"Um. You're okay?" Damon finally asked.
"Yes," she nods.
"You don't have to feel uncomfortable with me, I'll keep it to myself, I promise." He looked at her, hoping that she would loosen up a bit.
"Okay," she smiles, but one could tell that she was trying to smile even when she knows that she is not safe at all, but she is beginning to trust him.
"Besides, I like that you're an Omega, it's cute." He said, his gaze not leaving her. "I really like you Jazlyn, I wish you can see me as I do." The second time he is confessing.
Music: Pray by Klang........
Jazz turned surprised this time, "how can you say that now? In this situation. What am I supposed to say now?" she stared at him.
"You don't have to say anything, just want you to know that I like you, no matter what you are, I am ready to accept it. And I'll wait for you to like me back." He smiled at her, and they kept staring at each other till the rain stopped.
Dylan, who could not take it anymore, had to say, "it has stopped raining mom." As days passed he became more into her, he always wished that she would like only him, he thought that as a child that he is, but there is more to it. He doesn't like Damon for any reason and he wants him to disappear from their lives. He always wished that but as a child who loves his mother and knows nothing more than that.
"Let's go, I'll take you straight home. Sky must be looking for you." He nodded in agreement.
As they are about leaving, Sky approaches them immediately, it's like she has been running since and in the rain. She is all drenched. "Jazz! Are you okay? You're not feeling any form of magic, right?" she asked, panting. She rushes to her and checks her body, doing all the sniffing to know if she will feel anything, though they are linked but this one won't have much effect on her, making her more scared. "Did anything touch you by chance?" she asked again.
Jazz smiles, she is so happy that people care about her, she is happy that people love her, mostly the ones that are close to her."No I am perfectly fine. See? No form of magic on me, I am not in pain." She assured her. "I and Dylan are completely fine, you don't have to worry."
Skyler hugs her immediately as she starts weeping, "oh my dear Jazlyn, I don't know what would have become of me today, if anything had happened to you." She paused as she looked at her face, she caressed her face "do you know I was scared?"
Jazz tries to stop her, but Sky is being too emotional, "oh gawd, I am being so sentimental now, always listen from now henceforth." She was so scared when she didn't see Jazz after Sky left, it almost made her mad, and she was exhausted after the spell she did to stop what Sky was about to do, making her not able to locate Jazz. So she had to go in the rain to look for her, which was not supposed to happen, staying under a spell that turned into rain, not only her too.
She could not locate her and anything was to happen to her, not only her will be affected, her whole family will also be affected and as she is the only different one, she had to do something, she couldn't wait for the rain to stop.
Damon watched the two girls as they hugged each other, he could see the love they have for each other, he smiled as he tried holding Dylan, who simply dodged his hand, while Damon looked at him to know if something was wrong, but Dylan just removed his face and didn't like talking much.
They finally left, Damon made sure they were safe at home before deciding to leave. They met Junior coming out from the kitchen with a cup of milk, "where have you guys been it's been like hours since I saw you all," he paused and looked at Damon, "oh he also came*notices that he still has his cup of milk and frowns*oh goodness, I can't believe you guys are seeing me with this, gosh it's so embarrassing." He leaves straight to his room upstairs as he bangs the door, the others just look at him, they already know he is a private person and hardly talks, except when found in an awkward situation.
Damon hugs Jazz, while someone just glares at him and huffs, "I'll see you on Monday, take care of yourself, avoid anything that will put you in danger" he finally leaves. Meanwhile, Dylan went straight to his room, he is so angry right now, he is angry at himself for being so small, that she hardly notices him, it pains him a lot that he will have to seek for her attention before he gets it, he can't even save her from any problem that comes her way, he is too small and short for fuck say. "Why? Why?" he pushed the nearest chair that was close to him as he hissed in pain.
Immediately he left and Sky rushed to her and that startled her best friend. "Oh gosh, Sky? You startled me." She glares at her, which made Sky to laugh, but all of a sudden she became serious as she looked at Jazz without saying anything. "What?" Jazz looks back at her, "spill it."
"Okay fine," Sky finally gives in, "he knows right? He found out? Dylan also knows, right?" she asked, though she knows the answer but she wants to hear it from her best friend. Jazz nods, "they know, but.." she paused.
"But? But what?" she asked looking curious, but the way her best friend is smiling is quite confusing. 'Does that smile mean that he still likes her? Let's hear from the horse's mouth.'
"He said he still likes me, and he is ready to accept whatever I am." She giggles, "Isn't that sweet of him? He is my ideal guy, right? Look into it Sky."
Sky nods, "I'll definitely do that, but that will be later, you need to rest."
"Where is Dylan?" she finally asked.
"I saw him going upstairs. He didn't look okay, maybe it is from what happened today."
Jazz does not look convinced, though everyone's attention was on her, she never removed her eyes from him, she saw the way he responded to Damon earlier when he wanted to touch him, she saw the way he looked at everyone except her, how angry he looked, like he was loathing himself for an unknown reason, and she didn't say anything to him to avoid attention, because Dylan can be a character sometimes, within this few months that she had stayed with him, she has studied him enough to know that this little boy likes her more than she thinks. That face was so sad, she watched him till he got upstairs.
"I'll go and see how he is doing, he needs me now." She said to Sky and left. She got to Dylan's room and knocked, but no answer, it looks like he is going to avoid her. She gently opened the door, she could see him on the bed with his back facing her, his lights were still on, she saw the broken chair and a broken vase. She sighs tremendously as she walks to the bedside. She knows for sure that he is pretending to be asleep.
She sits close to him, as she caresses his hair gently, he didn't bother moving, he remained still. "I am sorry for ignoring you today even when I got us in danger, even when I knew you wanted me to ask you if you were okay, or if you were hurt while running. I am really sorry Dylan." She continued to caress him, he gently opened his eyes as he looked at her, he was trying to hold his tears, he wanted to be strong in front of his mom, and he didn't want to look weak to her.
Jazz simply noticed it and smiled, "you can cry it out, it'll be our little secret and you are my little hero, you my hero, baby." She opens her arms. He sits up and hugs her as he cries.
"I was so scared today mom, I thought something was going to happen to you, all I could think of was your safety, but I am too small to do anything and it is killing me, mom." He continued crying, as Jazz stroked his hair gently. "It's all good now, we are both safe, she didn't harm us." She said as she rested her head on his head. They stayed like that till Dylan slept off. She decides to stay in his room.
Meanwhile,
Skyler enters her room to go take a shower, on removing her shirt, she sees black stretch marks on her body, and it's as if it's spreading. "What will I do now," she hissed in pain. "I'll have to call my mother."
