Chapter 2
The next evening found Jason dressed in black head to toe with a black ski mask to hide his identity. He carefully made his way from the Luthor property to where he parked his car about three blocks away….. having just buried Bridgette Crosby in Lex's back yard and setting Lex Luthor up for her murder. After he and his mother tortured Ms Crosby for several hours, she finally gave up the element she was planned to sell to Lex. Knowing how his mother would drag out the torture just for the hell of it, Jason showed rare mercy and gave the woman a quick death with a bullet in the temple. His mother was so angry, his penance was that he had to dispose of the body himself, instead of using hired muscle. So he buried her on the Luthor property, a plan having formulated in his mind. His mother wasn't for sure his plan would work and she stated it would be on Jason's head if it didn't. Genevieve was inside the mansion with Lex now, keeping him occupied. Rolling his eyes, Jason knew his mother well enough that her tastes ran toward the younger men. And Lex would fall into that category. Jason was pretty sure that Lex wouldn't be interested in Genevieve Teague. But his mother was a pretty persuasive woman, and one never knew! Throwing his tools into the trunk, he slammed it closed then jumped into his little sports car, cranked it up and took off. He had just enough time to get to his dorm, shower, and go pay a visit to Lana. Looking forward to getting away from the crap his mother put him through, he actually had a smile on his face. Lana was easy to talk to and a good listener and he anticipated the few hours of reprieve ahead ----------------------------------------------------- Since Jason still had a key to Lana's apartment, he let himself in after realizing she wasn't home. This was a normal ritual for the two of them. He'd make himself at home, work on his college term papers, or read a book, or watch TV until she arrived. Sometimes he had dinner prepared for her. Sometimes not. He was about to take off his jacket, but he noticed a large envelope on the bar. Curious, he walked over to get a hint as to what it was. Grinning like the little boy who got the Christmas present he wanted, he realized it's Lana's acceptance packet to Central Kansas. This was it! Now she can join him at Central Kansas A&M, they'll get a dorm together, he can tell his mother to kiss his ass because he now had someone that didn't keep reminding him how evil he can be. At that moment, he heard the door open and he picked up the envelope quickly, hiding it behind his back. He tried to tone down the happy smile that kept wanting to spread across his face. Lana saw him as she set her purse and keys by the door, then she walked toward the bar, slightly suspicious. "What's with the cheshire cat routine?" Lana asked curiously. Jason shrugged as he announced, "Just a little something from Central Kansas." Jason then passed the envelope to Lana proudly while her own mind screamed internally, "Dammit, that's it, he went through my mail now! This is above and beyond 'overprotective boyfriend'!" Lana never said the words aloud, but the look in her big green eyes didn't bode too well for Jason. Jason pretendedto notice her inner mental struggle as he proclaimed, "Congratulations! If they were going to reject you, they probably wouldn't send you a novella." Lana carefully took the large envelope from him and placed it on the bar. She walked away from him as she debated how to approach the subject that she actually wanted to break up instead. Something that had been on her mind for the past few weeks. "No... probably not" Lana murmured distractedly in answer to Jason's statement. Jason noticed her body language, but tried to ignore it. A guy can never figure out women anyway. And with all he and Lana have gone through, surely to God she was not thinking now of breaking it off! Not after all he that he has done for her. Jason decided to continue to try and play it off like he hadn't noticed anything unusual. Inserting a jovial note into his voice, he suggested the following, testing the waters, "Hey, I was thinking, we could go check out the dorms on campus this weekend." Lana decided it was now or never. It wasn;t fair to her or Jason to continue this charade. She didn't want to hurt Jason's feelings, but to be blunt, he creeped her out lately. Being around Clark this past week or so gave her a new perspective. Clark had temporary amnesia, and yet he still professed feelings for her, with absolutely no memory of their time together. His feelings were that strong and he finally let her see that. What's more, Clark never interfered into anything that he felt was none of his business. Jason, on the other hand, made it his business to know where she was and what she was doing. And she knew the only reason he stayed around her was to stay close to the Stone of Power they retrieved from China. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to fortify herself, she said, "Jason, I'm not sure that I'm gonna go to Central Kansas..." She turned and placed a hand on his chest as she explained gently, "I'm not even sure if I'm gonna go to college at all." She could see the confusion and disappointment that clouded his eyes as she hastily continued as gently as possible, "I've actually given this a lot of thought." Lana knew this wasn't going to be easy, and Jason won't let go too easily. He took her hand and caressed the back of it with his thumb. He gave a shaky laugh. "Which part, Lana? The part that we've been planning this for an entire year? I thought this was our one chance to put everything that's happened over the past months behind us." He kissed her hand and she almost melted. Just... almost, but not quite. He reached out to caress her face as he whispered, "It would be like Paris all over again." "How?" Lana asked in slight exasperation as she stepped back from his touch. Jason watched her shake her head and gather her thoughts, again she was trying to spare his feelings. "Jason, last summer was incredible, but we have to face it. We haven't been able to recreate that here, not with everything that's happened. Not with the stones, or your mom. And all of the lies." Lana noticed that Jason's eyes became hard green flint in a matter of a blink as he asked in a dangerously, pseudo-calm voice, "How long have you known?" Lana stared at him in wide-eyed confusion, so Jason continued explaining, as he watched her reaction carefully, keeping eye contact. "I mean, feelings don't just change overnight. So you've obviously been thinking about this for a while." Jason made Lana nervous, but she was going to stand her ground anyway and not let him bully her like he had done in the past. She squared her shoulders, kept eye contact and nodded her head defiantly, "Yeah." Jason mimicked her nodding and repeated back in the same way, "Yeah." "Ever since this turned into the same relationship I was trying to leave behind when I went to Paris." Jason's eyebrows shot up, jealousy sparked in his eyes, "Oh, so this is about Clark!" Lana rolled her eyes, frustrated and practically whining now, "No, this is not about Clark! Jason, it's about us. There are too many secrets. I kept wishing that we could wipe the slate clean, but we can't. A chance like that... Maybe it only comes once in a lifetime." Sadly, Lana turned away from Jason and walked into her living area, needing a moment to collect herself. Jason suddenly angry, glared at Lana's retreating back, then made an impulsive, snap decision. He stomped quickly toward her, spun her around to face him, grabbed her by the arm and startled her in his vehemence. His grip both hurt and scared her. Good!, Jason thought. He rather liked that idea! Jason's voice practically hissed at her as he gave her a shake, "You were the one part of my life that made me forget what I've turned into!" Lana's eyes were wide with shock, she'd never seen Jason get quite this angry before, "What are you talking about?" she asked shakily He shook her hard, her teeth nearly rattling as his tortured voice raised in pitch, "Just don't give up on me!" "Ow! Jason!" He shook her again, harder, yelling now. "Okay!?" Before Lana knew it, he shook her one more time, which caused her a slight headache, "You have NO idea how much I've been protecting you! DO YOU?" Finally, Jason pushed her away from him and stalked out of the apartment angrily, leaving Lana shocked and confused by Jason's outburst. She knew he'd take the news of a break-up badly, but she never dreamed he'd grab her and shake her like that. And why is everyone always trying to "protect" her? That's a question that nearly drove her insane. She heard it from every man she knew! There's Lex, there's Clark and now she's hearing it again from Jason. One day she'll show everybody in this town that she's not some china doll that everyone has to protect!While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
