Long Way Down Jason Reynolds Novels & Stories

Jason looked outside the glass that covered his office. The view was great, 20 stories above the ground. He was looking at the moving clouds. He held a pen in his hand, which he kept rolling between his fingers. He was lost in his own thoughts. Someone knocked on the door and entered. He turned his chair around to look at the person. “Sir you jet is ready,” Tom said as he looked at Jason. Jason nodded his head and got up from his chair and buttoned his jacket up before picking up his phone.

Jason spoke calmly when they were about to bring Ignacio home. "Doctor Sky…" The Jonas Family members already felt hopeless, but their hopes were revitalized when Jason spoke. "I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee the outcome. Don't blame me if he dies," Jason spoke calmly. "Thank you." Everyone within the Jonas Family instantly bowed in gratitude. Jason returned to his seat and wrote a list. "Tell Dustin to buy all these things," Jason ordered. "Have you people heard of the story where someone extended their lifespan using the seven stars on the five-foot hill?" Jason asked.

Jason let out a bitter smile and said, “No. It isn’t me. It’s your Aunt Summers.” “Mr. Yarde…” Not far away, Chadwick called him. Kayson waved his hand at him and said, “You guys go first. Don’t need to wait for me.” Chadwick nodded. Before he left, he took a glance at Jason. ‘Isn’t he the director of Triumph Realtor? He’s one of the top developers in Skyriv.’ Even he did not have a chance to meet someone like Jason. Yet, not only did Kayson know him, but he seemed rather close to him as well.

"Of course, momma, Wyatt, and I talked about it last night, and we're both going with you." "Thank you, darlin, and thank you, Brodie, for cooking breakfast for everyone. It smells delicious." "My pleasure Ms. Cheryl." Brodie grinned at momma and turned back to the stove. "Oh, Man! I smell bacon!" Wyatt walked into the kitchen, rubbing his belly, "that's what I'm talking bout! You the man Brode!" Jenny trailed in behind him, giggling, and Wyatt threw his arms around me and introduced us. "My baby sister Nova Jane, Nova, this is the lovely Jenny." I noticed he didn't say girlfriend; some things never change. She was a beautiful petite brunette with olive skin and green eyes.

“A world built on my family’s money and my father’s rules. It was a heavy, shiny thing. It looked perfect from far away, but it was rotten inside.” Leah swallowed. “You don’t have to say that. I know.” He shook his head. “No. I need to say it. I need you to know I see it now. I see how it hurt you. I see how it hurt me. I see how it hurt everyone.” Leah touched his cheek with the back of her hand. “I see it too,” she said. “We both lost things here.” Jason took a breath. He went down to one knee like a man who had practiced the motion a thousand different ways. He didn’t have fanfare. He didn’t have flutes or roses. He had only the earth and the wind and the look in Leah’s eyes.

I was so tired that I did not even shower I just stripped my clothes and fell asleep. I was woken up in the morning by the voices, one was from my dad the other one I could not recognize, but damn these walls are thin. I got up and went to what I hope is the bathroom. Yap it is, one really small bathroom, bathtub tucked in between the walls, sink, and a toilet. I took a quick shower and headed downstairs to take the stuff out of the truck. When I got downstairs a strange Mexican woman was there and my dad was giving her money, I guess she was part of the cleaning crew. I nodded my head and headed to the truck. My dad stopped me, "Aron this is Sonja, our cook, and cleaner, she will be here in

"Don't worry about anything. Everything will become okay again starting from next week. The Reynolds' influence only is enough to bring the company back to spotlight again. So quit drinking and partying under the disguise of being frustrated." Ronnie avoided eye contact with Owen. Knowing that he had been caught. A WEEK LATER. A knocking the door jolted Jayden out of sleep and he pressed the button on his desk and unlocked the door. Theodore walked in, looking surprised. "Why are you here? I thought I dropped you at the hotel yesterday." Rubbing his face and threading his hand through his hair, Jayden tiredly replied. "Yeah. I came back to make use of some precious hours."

Mel and Kasey are only half sober. It was already morning when we decided to go home. Cameron carried Clark, the guy can’t even stand up on his own. Mel was helping Landon, since they’re both small. Kasey can walk by himself, thankfully. And I’m assisting Matthew. Clark, Kasey and Landon are riding with Cameron. I’ll have Matthew and Mel on Matthew’s car. After dropping the four in their quarters, Cameron will drive us to our apartment

"And that Evan, ugh! I'm taller than that man you know, he really should consider that." Jason chuckled. "Taller than Evan, what? By two inches?" June rolled her eyes. "If the two inches was so abundant, why is he lacking it?" "Oof, savage!" She folded her arms under her chin, watching his back. "What are you doing?" He was kneeling in front of some electronics under the flat screen television that offering some were wolf movie. Humans are creepy. "Trying to get this ancient jukebox to work." She quirked an eyebrow. "Why?"

“Yeah. You’re gone.” Nathan let his head fall back against the couch and closed his eyes for a second. And all he saw… was her. Jason walked over to the minibar, cracked open a bottle of water, and tossed one to Nathan. “You know what I think?” Nathan caught it without looking. “This better be good.” Jason plopped down in the armchair across from him. “I think you’ve been numb for so long, you forgot what it feels like to feel something.”
