From Friend To Mate novel Chapter 27

"Wait."

Jason paused. His hopes didn't last long. He turned around to look at his father expecting an evil smirk on his face but was shocked to see one of sadness.

"Jason," he began, "If you think I'm harsh, you'll be in for a surprise once you meet your uncle. He isn't someone to play with and he's very sneaky. I could just send you there and watch you crumble under the weight he'll put you under. Or I could get you prepared."

Jason didn't want to believe what his dad just told him. Somebody harsher than him.

Who was this guy?

"What do you mean?" Jason's aid demanding an explanation

"Going to your uncle would help you control most of your emotions but in return your uncle mentioned using you for some of his dirty work."

Jason froze.

What a sick man.

His face scrunched up as he looked at his father. All he wanted to do was leave but his mind has already been made. As much as he didn't want to so what he knew what his father was suggesting.

He knew he had no choice in the matter. He needed this.

"I'll send you the details. You could leave with Thomas later today. The earliest flight would be tomorrow morning. Make sure to say your goodbyes."

Jason didn't stay in the room any longer and left. Upon leaving the room he saw Felix down the hallway.

He looked confused and lost as he helplessly searched the hallways for a missing Jason.

Jason smiled to himself. He needed to make sure to remember these small moments. He didn't know how long it was going to be until he saw Felix again, he hoped one year maximum.

That way when he came back, he'd be in a healthier state of mind. Or so he thought.

Felix noticed where Jason was while going towards him with a smile gracing his face. He felt lonely waking up without him so went to find him. After knowing the truth about everything he decided that he wouldn't leave Jason.

He saw the confusion in Jason's eyes, and he knew that as well as him Jason was also suffering. To leave him in such a moment would go against everything he stood for. It would go against his feelings and that would hurt him more. Too much.

Jason looked down at Felix who now stopped in front of him. The words at the tip of his mouth. He didn't know how he could possibly tell him that he was leaving or even worse what he had to do later today.

"Let me make you something to eat, I need to go somewhere in a few hours." He said instead.

Felix told her about the kiss and the things he said in text messages and even went further to tell her about his mum finding out and him getting kicked out of the house and having to live with Jason.

So, what are you going to do? She sign her eyebrows furrowed in worry as she leaned closer to Felix.

You could live with me. She stated. It would be great to have you around. It's lonely being an only sibling and my parents are crazy, she signed.

After Felix understood what she was trying to say he kindly declined the offer.

"It's ok, I'll figure it out. I'll just get a job and work until I can afford a small apartment.

Are you going to try to talk to your mum?

Felix became silent as he thought about the question. It didn't really cross his mind reconnecting with his mother. Right now, he was kind of sick of her and no longer wanted to be around that environment anymore. "No." he said. "Not until a long time anyways."

Rebecca sensed the saddening atmosphere and decided to change the subject to lighten up the mood. "So, tell me about your kiss then" Felix smiled thinking about it and began spilling everything that happened in more detail.

Jason got into the car. It was a jeep with black out windows. He wasn't sure what to wear so copied what he'd always seen Thomas wear and wore a suit.

It was quiet when he entered the car for a second it was just him and Thomas.
