"You're kidding, right?" Jason asked, gaping at me. His eyes were so round I thought they'd pop out of their socket. I'd just broken the news about my Mum to him. We were lying on his bed, and he was propped up on his elbows looking down at me, as I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling.

"Nope." I replied, popping the 'p'.

I looked down and began playing with the bottom of my shirt. I just had a loose, blue top on and some tea-cup shorts. (Short at the front and longer at the back. Don't worry, they aren't extremely short. Dad wouldn't have let me out of the house if they were). I ran my eyes over Jason's long figure, taking in his loose, faded jeans and his black, three-quarter shirt. He looked pretty darn good. His blond hair was ruffled and his eyes a liquid blue. Once again, I felt extremely lucky to have him in my life.

"Jeeze," he breathed, running a hand through his hair, before bringing it down to support him up again. He shook his head, letting out a low whistle. "Are you okay?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. I guess? It's really strange. I feel kind of numb."

"Well that's probably a good thing," he reasoned, collapsing onto the mattress with a whoosh. I turned on my side as did he, so that we were facing each other. I kept my eyes down though, taking in the patterns of his bed spread.

"Mm. Like, I was really angry with her at first, because she'd had an affair and then left us. But I guess she needed to, to save herself. Even though Mark was really, really making our lives difficult, he didn't deserve to die. The fact that she set it up only makes it that much worse."

"Yeah," he agreed. "It's pretty crazy, but she did save a lot of people. He was really not a nice man. Even though it was wrong, it's a lot better this way. It's a hard thing to hear, and to even say, but it's true."

I sighed. "You're right. But how are you so casual with this? My brother killed your Dad and my Mum told him to. You should be hating me."

He shrugged, a smirk playing at his lips. "I don't think I could hate you, for one thing. And the other, he made both Mum's and my life miserable. It's just a lot better with him out of the picture. It just sucks that it was your relations that had to do it. But hey, I don't care. As long as the world is rid of someone like him."

"You're amazing." I blurted.

His smirk completely stretched across his face and tensed his muscles, making me want to melt into a little pool. He was just way too handsome for his own good.

"I know I am," he joked.

I smiled and arched myself up so that my lips gently grazed his. I pulled back but he placed his hand behind my head and kept me there.
