Jason's Significant Other

I had waited a few days to tell everyone else that I could drive again, but I felt sure of it today and so I told everyone. Ellen wasn’t at school when I told Lisa, Jason, and Seth because she had to go back to her doctor and get a shorter cast after all. It sure didn’t take the doctors long to realize she wasn’t wearing the Velcro ski-boot thing like she was supposed to. I brought Seth and Jason home today. After I dropped Seth off, Jason surprised me by saying he had met someone. I knew Jason was talking about a guy, because Jason is gay, and otherwise Ellen would have asked him out awhile ago. He met him online and he goes to Taylor Academy, but that’s all the information I could get out of him. I said Ellen was going to be disappointed, but then realized that Jason didn’t even know she likes him. Well that’s what I thought, but he said he knew since a few weeks ago. I asked what happened and I almost wish I hadn’t. Ellen got drunk in Jason’s room. She made a pass at him. By this time my car was sitting in Jason’s driveway and when Jason tried to tell me more he looked up to see his grandmother standing at his front door. She was yelling something, and when I rolled down my window I understood. She was yelling Bible verses. It was right about then that I remembered that night Jason stole the Bible from the Gersons. I asked him about it, and embarrassed, he told me he was looking up some of the verses his grandmother always quotes. It got quiet and to break the silence I asked him why he wasn’t even trying to be straight. He told me he would love to be, and then he got out of my car and headed into his house.
