Must Read: Friday The 13th *Ever Scary* - Season 1 - Episode 32

The minute Jason put the newspaper articles and photographs away, he headed straight to his mother’s room as if his life depended on it. He shut the door behind him and slowly dropped to his knees in front of his mother’s head, which was staring right back at him. He was breathing hard, which only scared him more than he already was. His heart was beating harder than it ever had in his life. He could feel his face heating up the underside of his mask. He ALMOST had to take it off.

“Jason? Jason, honey, what’s wrong?”
‘M-Mother…wh-what in the world is happening to me?’
“Talk to me, Darling. Tell Mummy what’s wrong.”
‘I-I told the good girl…D-destiny…I-I told her what happened to us…well, I kind of did.

I showed her.’
“I know that made you uncomfortable, Jason.

But you had to tell her sooner or later.”
‘I know.’
“Tell me, how did she react to it?”
‘Th-that’s…that’s the strangest thing…she started crying!’
“Crying?”
‘Yeah!’Jason nodded vigorously at his mother’s head.’And she knew what’s wrong with me. She knew it as if she knew someone else who had it. She told me I can die from what I have-‘
“You have hydrocephalus, Honey.”

‘Right…that’s what she said. Can I really die from it, Mother?’Jason stared into the holes where his mother’s eyes should have been, and she didn’t respond as quickly as she did before.

“…Yes. Yes, Jason, you can die from it.”
‘Then…why haven’t I died from it?’
“Because you’re special, Jason…you’re a special, special boy…MY special boy…”Jason felt his face flush more and he closed his eye slowly. Mother always called him special, and it always soothed him during rough times. Much like this one, but this time it didn’t help as much as he wished. Jason shifted slowly on his knees and glanced down at the ‘Contract’ him and Destiny made earlier that day. It seemed so long ago. Several hours ago, Jason just thought of her as a cute girl who needed protection. Now…he had no clue what he was feeling. He never knew anyone who would actually sympathize with what’s happened to him. He honestly didn’t think anyone cared anymore. But Destiny did…she cared to the point of sobbing her little heart out and she also…

‘…Mother…Destiny hugged me.’Jason jumped as he heard his Mother let out a delighted squeal that rang in his ears.

“She did? Oh, how fantastic! That’s so sweet! I told you she was worth it, Jason! How did it feel, Sweetie? You haven’t been hugged in so long! It must have felt so wonderful! Oh, I wish I could remember what it feels like to be hugged again!”Jason felt his face go redder as his mother gushed about Destiny’s actions.

To be honest, it scared the living daylights out of him when she hugged him. He NEVER expected Destiny, so frail and shy, to EVER hug him. EVER. It taken him so off guard that he had no idea how to respond. He just sat there, his eye wide. He could feel her heart beating against her little chest and against his shoulder. She was pretty strong for a little girl like her. She was able to literally cling onto him for what felt like hours.

Jason started to ignore his Mother’s gushing, for the first time in a LONG time, and tried hard to remember the feeling he had when Destiny was hugging him. It felt warm, like someone just threw a blanket over his shoulder. But it was more than that. It felt even warmer.

It spread through his whole body. He never felt that comforted in his whole life.

And he loved it.

He HAD to feel it again someday.

He HAD to.

“…Jason, are you listening to me?”
‘…Huh? Oh, yeah…yeah, I heard you.’
“No, no you didn’t. You didn’t listen to a word I said, did you?”
‘…No…’
“That’s what I thought…You know what I think?”
‘What?’
“I think you’re starting to like Destiny.”
‘Well, I do. She’s…nice.’

“And delicate, and sweet, and innocent, and happy, and-”
‘She’s nice.’

“But she’s also the most angelic thing I’ve ever seen! I wish there were more girls like her in this world. Then people wouldn’t be so bad, maybe…”

Jason closed his eyes.

‘No…I’m glad no one else is like her…’Jason knew he could only admit something like this to his mother, and even know he felt hesitant to say it.
“Why is that, Dear?”
‘…Because I only want to protect her…I like protecting her…’
“Even if it’s only been a day?”Jason could hear the smile in his mother’s voice. Not really appreciated, since admitting this was hard enough.

‘Well…’
“Jason, you’re taking such good care of her already. If you keep it up, she’s never going to leave.”Jason felt his heart flutter at the thought.

‘…I hope so.’

“…So now you finally know what a period is!

I should thank Destiny for that. It saved me from telling you myself!”


Jason went red.

‘Mother!’
“…J-Jason?”
