114A/N: ok, this is my (attempt) at a Jella story, for all you Jella lovers out there... I don't think it turned out that well, but I hope you all enjoy it!
Jella!
Disclaimer: I can't think of anything random and stupid, so I will just say, no, I don't own Camp Rock.
"Jason!" Nate exclaimed, getting annoyed with his friend's continued stupidity, "Why don't you go and take a walk for a little while?" Jason, who was clueless to his band mate's frustration, beamed.
"That's a good idea! I'll go look for birds!" He skipped away happily, beaming. He pondered over what to do – he was capable of that – and decided at last to go for a walk to the lake, figuring he'd see more birds that way.
"Ooh, there goes a robin… and there's a blue jay!" He said to no one in particular. Not having thoughts or eyes for anything other than the birds, he failed to notice the girl walking the opposite direction until he stumbled right into her. With a thud, they both got knocked to the ground.
"Ouch. Man, now the bird flew away!" Jason groaned, but then he turned his attention to the girl. She was sitting on the ground, staring at Jason. Suddenly feeling embarrassed, he got up and gave her his hand. She gratefully took it and allowed him to pull her up.
"Jason!" She said brightly. "It's nice to meet you!"
"What's your name?" Jason asked, giving her a smile.
"Ella," She replied, returning the smile.
"Do you like birds?" Jason questioned suddenly, slightly afraid she was going to either laugh or yell at him, like Shane and Nate did.
"They are my favorite animal! Have you ever seen a real bald eagle?" She replied, enthralled that there was someone else who understood her love for birds. Normally, people made fun of her when she mentioned that, so she pretty much kept it to herself. No one else so far had been able to relate to the joy she felt when she saw birds flying.
"Yes! I even bought a bird book, so I could tell all the different kinds apart!" Jason beamed. He'd never been able to talk about birds before, without getting teased, and already he enjoyed it. That was the one thing that was really important in his life: birds.
"That is so cool! Can I see?" Ella asked, her eyes shining. Eagerly, Jason brought out his bird book, handing it to her. She flipped through it with a fascinated look. "It's amazing!"
"Would you like to… look for birds together?" Jason questioned hesitantly, and Ella nodded, a huge smile on her face.
"Do you know where you can find the most birds?" Ella replied curiously as they began to walk down the path.
"I normally see a lot by the lake," Jason suggested.
"Let's go!" She said happily, and the two skipped along together, not worrying about trying to impress each other but simply being themselves. Neither had been allowed to express themselves freely for a long time.
"Where do you live?"
"I live in Boston." Ella answered.
"We're going on tour there next month! Maybe I could, you know, stop in and say hi…" Jason hesitated. He wasn't sure what to say. Ella was the first person who could really relate to him, and he enjoyed every minute they were spending together.
"I'd love that!" Ella exclaimed, and Jason's worry disappeared. "So, did you enjoy this summer?"
"It was one of the best! Although, I never got my birdhouse. Shane was too busy." Jason sighed, glancing at Ella.
"You like birdhouses too?" Ella asked in surprise. She and Jason related more than she would have expected. She hadn't been able to relate to anyone in… a long time. Jason beamed.
"More than anything!" He gasped, and immediately launched into a long discussion about why he liked birdhouses, and how disappointed he'd been when Shane had come back, without his birdhouse.
"I'll make you a birdhouse." Ella whispered, putting her hand on his arm. Jason's eyes widened.
"Really? You would do that for me?" He replied, hardly able to believe his luck.
"Of course!" Ella giggled.
"Ella?" Jason questioned.
"Yes?" She answered, glancing at him.
"Would you like to come and watch birds with me tomorrow?" Ella smiled.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." She replied.
