Fall Before You Fly; Jayson.

[Jayson Christopher]

Jayson blinked in shock as she shoved him away. He hadn't meant to scare her..Confusion flitted in his eyes and he blinked as she ran. "Londyn!" He yelped, scrambling up as she collided with the car. He scampered that way and crouched beside her. The car hadn't been moving fast, he assumed she'd be okay, but it still scared him... "I'm sorry.." He whimpered brokenly, that unbreakable happiness having vanished from his features. "Are-...are you okay..?"

[Londyn Thomas]

I stare up at the sky for a while, my ears still ringing from the horn. I sit up a bit after Jayson runs over and blink as the world spins, my head pounding. "I-I think.. don't take me to the hospital." I mumble, putting a hand to my head. It didn't feel like anything was broken, and if I did go to the hospital, they'd see my arms, thighs, and other places and that'd open up a whole other can of worms I didn't want to get into. "Call Con and tell him to tell Att to come and get me.. I wanna go home." I say, a couple sniffles escaping me as I avoid looking at Jayson's face.

[Jayson Christopher]

Jayson lowered his gaze in guilt, unable to look at her. "I'm gonna carry you to the truck...don't panic.." He whispered, voice hurt. But it was his fault right?
He lifted her bridal style and set her in the truck bed on the blanket before grabbing his phone and dialing Connor's number, sullenly telling him he needed Londyn's brother to come and get her, that they were in the Walmart parking lot. He hung up and sighed, leaning against the truck and not nearing Londyn, afraid she would run again. He could have driven her, but doubted she would have let him.

[Londyn Thomas]

I nod silently as he says he's going to pick me up and I wrap my arms around his neck, curling against his chest, finding a sort of comfort there. I let Jayson set me on the blanket and wince at the movement, my head throbbing. My blue eyes watch him and I sigh, looking away. "I-I'm sor-ry." I mumble, not looking at him. "I overreacted.. I was scared.." I add, mostly to myself. I lean my head back, looking up at the sky, part of me hoping Jayson hadn't heard me and another part hoping he had.

[Jayson Christopher]

"It's okay." Jayson mumbled. "My fault. I was being a dumbfuck." He shrugged. Nothing new. Maybe he didn't blame his brother for leaving out of the blue if that's what happened, though he still refused to believe his brother had made the choice. He stared down at his phone, then up at the sky before texting Cory and asking him to head out and get the cars ready.

[Londyn Thomas]

The words hurt and I look away, feeling tears fill my blue eyes again. "S-so it was a.. mistake?" I ask softly, feeling stupid. Of course it ahd been- who would've actually wanted to kiss me? Who would willingly hang out wtih me? All of today had probably been a lie, pity, and I'd fallen for it. Again. I turn my face away from him, ashamed of the tears welling up in my eyes and I lift a hand to wipe at my face, hoping that Jayson wouldn't notice. I bite my lower lip, shaking my head at myself. How gullible could I be? I will Att to drive faster- I just wanted to go home.

[Jayson Christopher]

"No," Jayson said firmly, working it jaw. "I wouldn't make a mistake like that with someone like you." He shrugged. "I just read wrong, I guess... I thought maybe you'd be okay with it too." He still couldn't look at her, ashamed he'd let her get hurt, that he had scared her and not asked first. "'M not a dumfuck for doing it, because I wanted to. I'm a dumbfuck for not thinking 'bout how you might react."

[Londyn Thomas]

I nod a bit at his reply, not knowing what to think. I didn't know whether to believe Jayson or not, though I really wanted to. I wanted to believe that someone was there for me otehr than Att adn Con, and someone actually seemed to.. like me. I sit up slowly, a wince on my face as my head spun. I put a hand to my forehead, drawing my knees up to my chest and looking over at Jayson for a moment. "C'mere." I say softly, patting the spot on the blanket beside me, looking away from his face.

[Jayson Christopher]

Jayson had had his back to her, head hung. He glanced at her sullenly when she spoke, and reluctantly rounded the truck and climbed into the back his her. He sat criss cross, staring down at the blanket quietly.

[Londyn Thomas]

I sigh softly and brush my hair out of my face, looking over at him for a moment before scotting closer and wrapping my arms around him. I rest my head on Jayson's shoulder, hoping he wouldn't be mad. "I'm sorry.. I really did overreact." I say, biting my lower lip. I felt like an idiot. He hadn't meant to do wrong by me, but then, here I was, jumping to conclusions and just generally being a wimp. It really was my fault, I hadn't even been watching where I was going.

[Jayson Christopher]

Jyson glanced down at her as arms wrapped around him.He sighed, shaking his head. "Don't be..I'm just glad you're okay.." He murmured, glancing up as a car stopped and a rather sick looking Connor climbed out of the passengers side, arms crossing over his chest with a shiver.
Jayson lowered his gaze, afraid of what Londyn's brother might think.

[Londyn Thomas]

I sigh again and look up as a car pulls up and I sit up, scooting towards the end of the tailgate. "Londyn, what the fuck, are you okay?" Att asks, hurrying over to pull me to his chest before pulling back to look at me. "I'm fine." I huff and he ignores me, taking my arm to feel it before taking my other and doing the same. "Att, I said I'm fine." I snap, pushing him away. "Obviously you're not." he argues and I roll my eyes. I look at Connor as if he'd help, but he doesn't look like he was in any shape to.

[Jayson Christopher]

Jayson slid off the back of the truck, putting the blanket away and setting his Rockstar inside the truck before handing her hers and the Walmart bag filled with gummy worms. He offered a weak smile."I have that race... I'll see you around.."The smile didn't reach his eyes though as he climbed into the truck and pulled out before he caused any more trouble.
