Writing

The world around her froze. She was standing right in front of him. She just couldn’t believe it. He too was staring at her, bewildered. He broke the silence first.

” June I can explain. See its not like what you think. ”

She looked at him enraged by the words that spilled out of his mouth. She was shaking her head, unable to take in the fact that he was still standing before her.

A lady dressed in a green outfit appeared behind him and poked his arm.

” Mason, let’s go. Anyways mom called to tell that she isn’t gonna be home. That means… ” She squealed and clapped her hands.

” Mason?” June muttered confused.

” June I will explain everything to you. Come with me. ” He grabbed her arm, dragging her out of the café.

” Jasper stop. What’s all this? I don’t get it. How are you here?”

Jasper continued dragging her to the local park in the area and sat her on a bench.

” June. I know you are confused. I know that you couldn’t make it without me. I know it has been eleven months since all those happened. ” He paused and took a breath.

June was looking at him, tears flowing down her cheeks. She leaned forward and hugged him.

”Why did you do this to me? Jasper, I missed you so much.” She broke away abruptly and wiped her tears. She grabbed his arm and looked in his eyes.
” What happened? Who is that girl? And why did she call you Mason? Who’s Mason? ”

” June you know mom and dad divorced and dad was fighting hard to get over this case. Mom. She lied. ” He looked upto her ” She was the one who did all those stuff. She put the blame on dad and betrayed him. She betrayed everybody. That night I went to her room and heard her talking to Aunt Melissa. ”

” I know. Mom told me everything. I moved with dad. Everything was a blur. But why did you have to run away? ”

” For a sweet revenge. June you know that girl you saw with me in the café. She is Mr. Darmson’s daughter. You know what that means. Mom cheated on dad with Darmson. I talk to him and told him our condition and how it was a bad time for us. He told me that nobody in his family cheats or gets cheated because they were a pure family. So I decided to take revenge. ”

” Jasper. This isn’t right. We must not do this. She might be a good person. ” June was afraid.

” Anyways today everything is getting over and I am going to ditch her. Its all for the good. ” Jasper breathed out.

He had to do it anyways. He knew that was the only way it would work. Mr Darmson must get a taste of his own. He had to leave Cassie and reveal that he was Jasper all way long. Everything would turn out fine after that.

He thought.

Morning came by. News broke out of the man who had jumped of the bridge. A note was left by.

‘Iam sorry. I came here for revenge but found warmth. I was lost in between my
plans. I couldn’t lose my love and couldn’t forget my revenge. Goodbye.
Love,
Jasper. ‘

And that night revenge did take place
Mr. Darmson did pay for all the loses. He was shot dead not by Jasper Kenjorn but by June Kenjorn.

” Will you be my Romeo? ”

” And die? Huh! Not in a million life-time!” He smirked at her.

She just smiled and looked at the album in her hands. The photos of him and her in every occasions printed. She traced his face with her fingers.

”Hash, do you remember this? ” She asked, still tracing his picture.

” Let me read this.” He said raising the book in his hand.

She nodded and went back to looking at the photos. Memories played along each photo in the album. She remembered how Hasher had given her a piggyback on their way back to their hotel room and of those times when she had played with his beard on the road trip.
She could feel her eyes moisten at all those memories.

” Tissue? ” He held up the tissue box without breaking away from the book.

She nodded and quickly pulled a tissue out and wiped the tears of her cheeks. She looked at his figure beside her for a little longer and reached her hand towards him, quickly shutting the book from his hands and snatching it away.

” Give me back my book. ” He snarled at her.She shook her head and smiled at him. Her nose was still red from crying.

” Lydia stop. Why? Okay. What do you want? ” Huffing, he ran his fingers through his hair.

” I wanna go outside. ”

” Not now. Let me read and then I will take you wherever you want to go.

”She pouted and looked at her. Hasher just sighed and looked at her. Lydia smiled. She knew she had won.

” Okay. Now what? ”

Hasher tapped on her shoulders to get her attention.They were sitting on the bench under the tree, their usual spot in the park.

” Lydia? ” He called her again, this time shaking her shoulders. She had tears in her eyes. Hasher wiped it away with his thumb and brought her face closer to his.

” I miss you. ” She breathed and broke down crying. ” I really miss you. Why did you have to go? ” Lydia turned her head away from his and looked forward.
” I am turning mad.” She muttered.

” Hey, is this seat taken? Can I.. ”

She looked at the girl in the blue hoodie and nodded. She quickly sat next to Lydia.

” My name is Gianna. ” She said pushing her hand forward for a handshake.

Lydia looked at the seat Gianna was sitting. Hasher always sat there. That was his usual seat.

” Are you okay? ” Gianna was waving her hands over her eyes.

Lydia nodded and stood up, walking to his place, tears in her eyes. Soon, she was there sitting beside him. She looked at the stone kept over the freshly-dug grave.

‘Hasher Peterson
1994-2019
May his soul always be at peace’

She smiled tears flowing down her cheeks and clenched her eyes as she remembered his last words before they left the room. Before he pulled her away and let the car crash into him.

” Lydia. I don’t want to be your Romeo. ” He had said biting his lips. ” I want to be your Hash. ” He had smiled like a schoolboy who had gotten an A in math.
