JASON MARKSON

Jason stood at the window of his room at SKY HOUSE looking at the outside view of the place. Sky house was the accomodation provided by their company for them. He has been working on the lyrics for a song in their new album which is supposed to be altered and he was stressed out. Jason has always been the quiet one, cold and nonchalant towards anything that happens around him, staying to himself and shielding himself so much that no one could come close to him. This is the defense he has developed over the years to protect himself from being hurt by others .

Jason has not always been the quiet and cold Jason, he was once a sunny boy just like the others but some experiences made him to lock up to himself. When he was eight, Jason lost his mom, he witnessed his dad beat his mom up several times and he couldn't do anything to help as he was still a child. On a fateful day, doing one of their fights, his mom fall down the stairs and sustained a head injury which claimed her life. His father wasn't much affected by the death of his wife and started living a promiscuous lifestyle, changing women everyday not caring if he had a little child at home

After the death of Jason 's mom, he turned from a sunny boy to a quiet little boy due to the traumatic experience, he despised his father as he blames him for the death of his mother. Nobody could get to Jason or cheer him up during that phase of his life except for Ivy Aguas who was a friend to Jason.

FLASH BACK TO JASON'S CHILDHOOD

Young Jason was sitting on the floor of their house garden staring into space when a young girl of about six years came and sat down beside him. Hello brother, can you help me get my doll, it fell over there and I can't reach it, little ivy said looking at Jason with pleading eyes. Go away, Jason said after a long time of silence. Can you just help me get my doll, I will give you a lollipop, Ivy said again bringing out a lollipop from her bag. Jason couldn't stand the noise and her disturbance, he finally got up and got her doll for her, hurray thank you big brother,here is a lollipop for you , little Ivy said happily handing the lollipop to Jason as promised. She stood up with her doll and ran out, Jason stared at the lollipop for some time before opening it and stuffing it into his month.

Since that day, little Ivy would always come around and come to the garden to talk to Jason even though he wasn't responsive to her. Slowly Jason warmed up to her, talking to her and playing with her, his father even enrolled him in the same school with Ivy.

The became friends as the grew up together.

END OF FLASHBACK

The presence of Ivy in Jason 's life brought out the lively and sunny Jason once again though he isn't responsive to everyone but Ivy and few of their close friends including Angelo. He depended on Ivy as she brought him warmth and gave him love which he never received from his parents or anyone. When they got older, Ivy confessed to him and he couldn't turn her down, he accepted her confession and they started dating, the were the dream couple of everyone in their high school as he was caring and fulfilled every of Ivy's demand no matter how difficult it was.

Everything was perfect until the day of Ivy's eighteenth birthday, she has requested a limited edition hand bag from Jason as her birthday gift, he took on many part time jobs,he worked so hard to get the money for the bag,he had his allowances from his father but he wanted to buy her a gift from what he earned himself, he finally got the bag on the day of her birthday and was very happy to give it to Ivy.

On getting to her apartment, he saw a scene that he never imagined. He entered the living room and could hear some conversation between Ivy and and a boy who he later knew was Michael, Do you love me or that pretty boy Jason? Michael asked.Of course I love you the most, he's just a pretty boy and am with him out of pity, Ivy said , but you confessed to him, I only did that because my father instructed me to, he has a business deal which he wants to get and only by being in a relationship with him will his greedy father be willing to partner with my dad, am just using him,Ivy said. You don't have to worry, I only love you, she said again kissing Michael.

Jason was devastated at what he just heard, he opened the door of the room and the two of them were startled, Ja...., Jason how long have you been here? Ivy asked looking at Jason flustered,long enough to hear everything you just said, Jason replied with red eyes. Michael sat on the bed disheveled looking at Jason provocatively.Jason dropped the gift bag on the floor and rushed out of the house admist the calls from Ivy saying she would explain and it wasn't what he thought.

He entered his car speeding to no where in particular, it was all a lie, no one loves me, she was just using me, he muttered to himself as tears was falling down his eyes. In the moment of his distraction, he didn't see a car coming and crashed with it.

Waking up, he found himself at the hospital, his father looking at him worried, how are you son? He asked worriedly but got no response.I will have the hospital get you something to eat and the doctor check you,he left the room. Flashes of the last scene before the accident came to him and he laughed mockingly, no one is real after all, he thought to himself.

Jason stayed at the hospital for with a nanny taking care of him, he refused to see Ivy despite all her effort, his father had bodyguards stationed outside his ward to prevent unwanted visitors and any time Ivy came around she wasn't allowed in and finally she gave up. After he was discharged he resumed school, the news of their break up has circulated all over the school coupled with Ivy 's constant harassment of asking him for forgiveness, he couldn't bear it anymore and decided to change school, his father's business and partnership with Ivy's father has been developing very well and needed them to relocate for it's expansion, they relocated to America where they all started their lives afresh, ivy stopped harrasing him.

He decided to be a star, an artist, the one thing his father hated the most in this world, maybe it was his way of spiting him and avenging his mother's death. STAR ENTERTAINMENT and STAR ACADEMY was established by his father in partnership with Ivy's father Mr Aguas though his father is the major shareholder.

Ivy also followed his dream and debuted earlier than him as THE QUEENS under Star entertainment and he debuted too as SPARKLING under Star entertainment and would be releasing his first album soon.

Ivy's betrayal made Jason quiet and cold again, retreating to his shells again and never letting anyone close enough to hurt him again.
