Chapter Twenty Six: Jerk Jason

Jason's POV

I woke up at 5 am and wondered why I was on the couch. Was I so tired from last night that I couldn't make it to my room? I got up, but then I realized I live alone. How did I even get a blanket? I looked around and figured out I wasn't at my house; I was at Ava's. I was glad I remembered; otherwise, I might have walked into her room thinking it was mine.

Now that I knew where I was, I felt bad for sleeping when I shouldn't have. Ava even gave me a blanket, meaning she found me asleep. After thinking for about 10 minutes, I decided to go for a jog and leave a note saying, "Meet me at the Golden café by 12 noon. Don't be late!" I emphasized the "don't be late" part because time was always important to me.

As I left Ava's house, the morning air woke me up. The path ahead was peaceful, with the sound of my footsteps blending with nature. The sun shone through the trees, creating shadows on the path. Jogging became a peaceful time for me to think, surrounded by nature's quiet.
