"Huh?"

"Heather and I are dating." he repeated

"That's great!" I said smiling, ignoring the feeling of my heart breaking into pieces.

Jason smiles and says,"Heather is coming over to our place, is that okay?"

"Yeah, sure." and began walking toward Jason's car.

As I open the door to the front seat, Jason stops me.

I raise an eyebrow and he replies with,"Can you sit in the back? I want Heather to sit infront."

"Oh no it's fine. I can sit in the back." Heather cuts in.

"Nah, is fine." I say and sit in the back.

A few minute into the drive home, I looked up and saw Jason's hand on Heather's thigh

My eyes widen and I quickly turned and looked out the window.

"I missed all the big things, so I wanted to do something as a father...so, a little misguided, yes, but it wasn't meaningless." Rogelio says through the screen of my laptop.

Suddenly, Heather's giggles met my ears as I roll my eyes.

How can she still giggle? She's been giggling for 4 hours now.

I sigh as I pause my show and walk towards Jason's room.

I make sure to knock just incase. Who knows what they're doing in there.

I was planning on telling them to shut the fuck up in the nicest way possible but somehow I ended up saying: "Hey, I'm gonna make some food. Y'all want?"

Jason nods and Heather says "I'll help."

I nod and walk to the kitchen with Heather following behind me.

Heather decided decided to break the awkward silence that was starting to form as we cook.

"So,how long have you known Jason?"

"Um, about seven years now. We met when I was 12." I replied.

"What was he like?"

"Pretty much the same as he is now, but just less annoying." I say with a smile.

Heather laughs.

"What you two talking bout?" I suddenly hear behind me.

"Holy shi-" Heather breathes holding her chest while I just looked at Jason with a bored look.

"I told you,you can't scare me" I say sitting at the table and propping my foot up.

"What does it take to get you scared?" Jason groans.

"Definitely gotta try harder than that."

"Could have atleast pretended to be scared?" he asks.

He's now sitting at the table as Heather puts the plate of food on the table and I put my feet down.

"Nah,it hurts my ego."
