them when they are asleep,” Jase looked at me.
    “I am not yours,” I looked away.
    “Keep lying to yourself. I tried that, and it didn’t work out for me.”
    “You haven’t …never mind. I need to get the hell out of this freaking state,” I sat back.
    “Besides me , what are you running from,” Jase reached over and grabbed my hand.
    “Don’t flatter yourself , you arrogant ass,” I rolled my eyes but made no attempt to pull my hand away.
    “I really want to know , Baby. Tell me.”
    “Why ? You don’t tell me anything.”
    “If I do promise you’ll spill it, can I get the whole story?”
    “Sure,” I sat back.
    “My ex died when I was seventeen. And that’s why we’ll never get back together. Now your turn,” Jase looked at me for a second.
    “How did she…”
    “No way,” he smirked
    “Seriously you can’t just lay that on me and…”
    “A deal is a deal. Spill it,” h e slowed down.
    “Fine, she made my bedroom into the dog ’s, a boy dog at that and it’s pink. If I were that dog I would bite her. She put up a tree and decorated it with crystal ornaments and nothing of ours. My Dad is going to marry a woman who hates me and who I now hate. I tried to make breakfast and she literally stood in front of the cupboard and refused to move. She made my Dad cut up my tree before her family came and I can’t even begin to tell you how fucked up they are. She drags him around by the balls and he allows it. You know it’s not like she didn’t know he had kids, and I know we are not technically kids but grow the fuck up, Barbie. If you love him you accept all of him not just his wallet and whatever else he has got going on and I really don’t want to know any of that. So I’m going home, to be with my Mom because she loves me and accepts me. And none of that seems to matter, all pretty petty compared to the bombshell you just dropped. Let’s talk about you,” I finally breathed and he smiled.
    “ Let’s talk about you. I like that subject much better,” Jase turned left.
    “No that’s it, that’s all I could take,” I watched his face and he started to laugh, “Not funny , Jase.”
    “I would stay-- it’ll drive her crazy and make me very happy,” Jase smiled, “How about it?”
    “ No, I need to focus on school.”
    “ You’re on break.”
    “So, I can stay here and be miserable or I can go home and…”
    “Miss me?”
    “Okay I’ ve had it, does it feel good to know I missed you?”
    “ A little bit good,” he smirked.
    He pissed me off. Freaking smug bastard. I looked out the window again, “Seriously Jase? We have passed the same freaking building four times, I’m not stupid.”
    “No you’re not stupid Carly. Fine I’m not going to win this one am I?” Jase pulled onto a main road.
    I didn’t answer.
    His phone rang and he looked at the dash, and answered, “What the hell do you want?”
    “ Did you nail that yet?” Zandor’s voice came through the speaker.
    “Goodbye,” Jase snapped.
    “Wait ask her if she has ever heard the song Mary Moon,” Xavier laughed and so did the others.
    “ Jealous?” Jase tried not to laugh.
    “Hell yeah!” Xavier laughed loudly.
    Jase pressed the button ending the call, “Sorry about that.”
    “What song are they talking about?”
    “I really don’t want to talk about my brothers I want to talk about you,” Jase looked at me, “I have an hour to change your mind right?”
    “The ticket has been exchanged. My mind is not changing. If anything I need to leave now more than I did before,” out loud voice again yep go figure. “You know what pisses me off Jase?”
    “Well most of the time it’s me,” he shook his head, “But…”
    “No it’s still you. I scheduled two days for moping around, one day a month that I spent thinking I meant something to you. Going through all the motions… you know, girl crap. Now I have to start all over because you just so happen to enjoy fucking with me. Could you at
