Harley's POV

I wake up my mind muddled from being sick. Lucky little me, I have a very high immune system and I was feeling way better today. Pushing myself out of bed I slip on some slippers and tiptoe to Selina's bed.
"Selina... Selina... Get up old bat!" I was shaking Selina awake because the girl was such a heavy sleeper. Sighing I lean right by her face and say, "Selina you better get up or I swear..." I feel I soft pillow hit me on my head. I fall back to see Selina laying on the bed, pillow in her hand.
"You swear what?" she asks. Her face was stuffed into another pillow.
"Well you will never know because you are up. Now how was Jason?" I ask.
"You woke me up for that?" she asks me.
"Yep." she sighs.
"He was really good but I know he wants to see you. Go see him and let me sleep." I hear shifting a crossed the room to see Pamela get out of bed to get ready to tend to her garden.
"Ok." I run out the room and down the hall really missing Jason. After running down the halls to get to his room I fling open the door. Everyone was still asleep in the room and Eddie lifted his to look at me from a crossed the room.
He simply says, "Good morning."
"Morning." I wave my hand at him.
"What brings you here this fine morning Harley?" He whispers so no one would be woken up.
"Jason," I whipper too.
"Oh... I thought you would be here for me sweet Harley?" He says pushing himself up.
"Umm... No. Just Jason." he let's out a quiet laugh.
"I guessed so. I am planning on finding Pam anyways." he pushes himself out of bed and goes to the dresser by his bed. I turn to my left to see Jason asleep on the bed by the door. His bed was smothered in his things and he was still in his clothes from what I guessed was yesterday. I remembered I was still in my pjs but I could care less. I took a huge leap and landed on Jason's bed right by him. I began to jump around shaking him awake, talking to him while doing so. Jason's eyes snapped open and he grabbed me pulling me down on the bed.
"Harley I was sleeping! What the heck?" he asks me while poking my tummy.
"I want to see your face." I say while trying to wiggle out of his grip.
"Oh well here I am." he gives me a kiss and lets me up but as soon as I stand on my his bed he pulls me down again. We both break out into laughter.
"Hey! Shut up! I am trying to sleep!" I hear someone shout. I turn to see a boy who was a little older than Jason. He had brown hair in a buzz cut and his skin was a deep dark tan.
"Ah shut your trap Sam." Jason says pulling me close to him.
"There are no girls allowed in here Jason. Shut up or I'm telling." he says.
"Tattle-tale. You're so dumb sometimes. Come on and shut your trap before I shut it myself." Jason snaps and could see by the way his eyes glowed he wanted to rip Sam in half. With one glance at me he settled down.
"No way in hell is that happening. I would rather die." this made me snap because I don't like swearing.
"Just shut your trap." I tell him.
"Hell no." I stiffen in anger and Jason snaps. He stands up and stomps over to Sam.
"You asked for it." he says then raises up his hand and slams it down on his face. The boy let's out a scream and by now Eddie and the other boy in the room had their eyes on Jason. I stood and ran to Jason pulling on his arm.
"Jason calm down." I say and he turned to see me. All the anger left his face replaced with sadness.
"I'm sorry Harls. Is just I know you hate swearing and he was rude to you. I just lost it."
"Oh baby Jason has to tell his mommy why he was a bad boy?" Sam asks. He just didn't know when to shut up.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Jason spins and screams at him. Bringing his fist in the air he slams it down on the kids gut.
"Ahhh!" he screams then runs out of the room.
"Run you little twit." Jason spats as Sam runs off.
"Run run as fast as you can,
Jason will catch you,
He's a psychopathic man." Eddie sang as he pulled things from his dresser. Jason laughs and walks over to tump Eddie in the back of the head.
"That is awesome psychopathic man to you." he says. After he turns to me, "Harley forgive me?"
"For what?" I ask.
"Lashing out on Sam." he says. The other boy who sat wide eyed on his bed spoke up.
"Dude we all wanted you too." he had black hair that fell in his eyes which shined a light blue.
"Wow you spoke? This never happens. James I am so proud of you!" he ran to hug James and James gladly let him with open arms.
"Wow... Jason what got into you?" I ask.
"What can't I hug my quiet friend? I mean he is quiet but awesome."
"He is." James just sat with his eyes closed enjoying Jason's embrace. Weird. Soon I hear panting and see Sam run in the doorway.
"Miss. Numb, you Jason, her office, now." He puffs out.
"Damn it!" Jason yells and I smack in really hard on the back of the head.
"LANGUAGE!" I shot.
"Sorry Harls." he says before pulling me into a hug, "I'll be back." he then walks out of the room shoving Sam to the side.


****Jason's POV****
I shove Sam to the side happy with the sound of him pouring out the colorful words that a boy his age should not know. I hear a 'Slap' sound and Harley's voice screaming at him for his choice in words. Then I hear footsteps.
"Jason let me come with you." she pouts.
"No Harls I think coming down with some time and after this I'm going to go to sleep. Stay with Selina, she has some really cute kittens you would like to see. I like marriage the best." with that I walked away to Harley pounding her feet on the wooden floor. Making turn after turn I come to a door that read 'Miss. Numb's Office.' It was a room I knew all too well. I could already see the brown walls and carpet with matching furniture before I even knocked on the door. When my fist hit the hardwood a shiver ran up my spine. I knew what was coming.
"Yes?" I hear Miss. Numb ask.
"Umm... It's Jason." I say. Her voice and her eyes made me freeze. They were so dead, so cold.
"Come in Jason." she spat my name out like it was some sickness that she had.
"Umm ok." I push open the door and see her standing tall pulling on black gloves. Oh no. I don't like the leather gloves.
"Jason you hurt Sam." she states.
"He needed a good kick in the ass." I tell her. I feel a slap come a crossed my face and Miss. Numb was shaking her finger at me.
"We do not speak like that."
"Did anyone ever tell you not to hurts kids?" I ask as my anger grew. I was taking a new path. This one I was going to piss her off. Another slap to my face.
"I will take that as a no." another slap. "Jerk." Another. The pain was growing but I kept at it. "I don't think you have a heart." Another slap. "I don't think you ever did." Another.
"Don't you dare talk to me like that." she spat.
"Then don't be a person who needs to be treated this way." I state earning me another slap. My cheeks throbbed but I didn't stop.
"Miss. Numb I don't think anyone could love someone like you. You're cold and evil. If I was your son I would kill myself and if I was your husband I would leave you." my words hit her hard. She turned to me, her hair was frizzy. Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap. I had never seen her so angry before.
"Leave." she swings open the door and shoves me out locking it behind her. I hear the sound of sobs on the other side. I didn't care what I made her feel. I was out. I walk back to my room hoping Harley was not there. Miss. Numb had never hit me so much and my cheek was very sore. I soon as I walk in I hear a gasp. Please don't be Harley please don't be Harley. I raise my eyes to see a pair of light blue ones. Black hair fell over them slightly. Oh thank goodness, James.
"Jason!" he screams ,"What happened?" his voice was slightly high and in seconds he was by my side.
"Nothing." I say. It hurt to talk because it move my cheeks.
"You are not alright. Lay down and I will be back with a warm rag for your face. You need sleep because you are hurt. Come now, sleep." James has never talked so much before and I was shocked so I layed down shutting my eyes. I was tired even though I just woke up and my face hurt. I hear James mumble something as he lays a rag on my face. No matter how hard I tried I could not fall asleep.


****James's POV****
Seeing Jason hurt the way he was tore my heart up. Poor guy, poor beautiful guy. Jason doesn't know, nobody knows the way I feel for him. I like Edward too just not as much. I love Jason but he has Harley and I'm happy for him. That Harley girl makes me laugh and I really like her. I lay the rag on Jason's lovely face and whisper knowing he will not hear me, "Sweet sweet Jason. Get better, love." I sit there and wait for a while staring at him then go off to do something different just letting poor Jason run through my mind all day.

Chapter 13:
Jason's POV

Time passed and I spent as little time with Harley as I could. Not because I did not want to be with her, no, no, no. I was just trying to earn money. I had to get Harley a great Valentines day gift because I could not get her anything on her birthday.
I sit outside in the snow wrapped up in my favorite dark blue jacket. It was all the way zipped up with the hood on. I was still freezing though, it was worse because all I had for my legs was my jeans. It was a twenty minute walk from the orphanage to here, were all the stores are.
I let out a breath and saw the smoke come out because the cold air. I look down at my hands that were pink and numb knowing I would have to head home soon. I was very very cold but still i was low on money.
"Can you please spare a few pieces of change?" I ask a couple who were holding hands walking down the sidewalk. I raise a metal cup to them. The man gave me one glance but as soon as the woman saw me she stopped dead in her tracks. Once Selina came out here with me to look at the cats in the pet shop. I asked her why the girls always do that. She says, 'it's their inner mom turning on'. Whatever that means.
"Oh Zador! We must help this poor child!" she cries taking off her jacket and putting it over me.
"Dana, let's go. We don't need to help him." The man says.
"Oh but Zador just think that if we could have kids what it would be like if that was our son?"
"Don't remind me that you can't have any children. If you think it is so very important, we can help the boy." He says then comes to his wife pulling her up and then he picks me up off of the ground. I let him sensing no fear.
"Oh honey what is your name?" Dana asks.
"J-J-Jason." I shutter.
"And what are you doing out here?" Zador asks.
"Trying to earn some money. I don't ever get a-any so I come h-h-here to get some. I want to buy this girl I really like something for Valentines Day." Dana's golden eyes grow bright.
"Oh my. That's so sweet of you! Come on let's get you inside a warm store and then I will buy you what you need." Zador didn't say no and carried me off into the closest store. When I was inside I felt so warm it was unbelievable.
"What do you want Jason?" Zador asks.
"Ummm a Queen CD. Called Innuendo." I say to them.
"I'm on it." Dana ran off to the area that had a sign hanging over it marked CDs.
"So, Jason do you want us to take you home? I mean it's awful cold house." Zador asks.
"I don't know how you could. I mean I don't know my own address." I tell him.
"That is why you give me directions." He smiles.
"Oh well I live at a Saint Mary's Orphanage for Children. It's really close to Lincoln Academy."
"You live in a Orphanage?" he asks.
"Yep." I nod sadly.
"Well no one likes a damn Catholic Orphanage. The adults that run the places are most likely bests." he says.
"ZADOR! You just swore around the kid." Dana smacks him in the back of the head.
"Hey!" he shouts. I laugh at this and Dana smiles at me handing me a small plastic bag.
"Here is your gift. Now should we drive you home?" I nod and they walk out of the store heading down the street.
"Where is your car? I didn't see it when you came up here."
"Honey me and Zador love to take walks down the street in the winter." Dana says.
"she likes to take walks. I just do as she says." Zador let out a small chuckle. We came to their car that was a ford. Zador swung open the back seat and set me in. When they got in the front they turned on the car. A gust of hot air blew and my face and I could not help but lean in to the warm air.
"Can you just drop me off at the school? I meeting some there." I tell them. Zador nods because he knows what I was talking about.
We got there and I waved goodbye and ran around the school seeing kids running around playing. I wish I was like the kids out there living without a care in the world. After my many stares with my bag in hand I hop over the fence and go to the orphanage with the best gift Harley could ever ask for.
So this is the new chapter. I want you to remember Zador and Dana they are going to be very important latter. They are going to be important people that you will want to remember.
