Not trusting
Note: this is somewhere between the time Jaden and Jack where with the others, from my other story "Trying to move on".
They had been with The others for 4 days or so, Jack had asked them to bring Jadden to him, after he had finished Ben's surgery, but his son wasn't exactly liking it there.
One day they invited them to play football, he agreed but Jaden was insecure.
"Hey doc!" tom said
"Yeah?" he asked getting up from the chair
"Some guys and girls are thinking about playing football, I was wondering if you and the little one wanted to play."
"Sure I'll go get him" he said and went inside the nearest house. He went upstairs, and then into a room.
He stepped in quietly "Jade?" he asked
Suddenly the 2 year old appeared from under the bed
"What where you doing down there?" Jack asked sitting on the bed
"Hiding" he said simply
"From who?" he asked picking him up from the ground
"Them, the bad ones" the boy said
"Jade…" he said sadly understanding what he meant
"I want to go back to the beach with everyone else, can we go dad please?"
"No, we can't buddy, sorry" he said softly
"It's not fair!" the boy shouted and buried his face in his hands
"I know, but it's better here"
"No, its not, I don't like this people" Jaden said sitting next to Jack on the bed.
"Well, we'll just have to get used to it, I guess"
"Where are they?" Jaden asked
"Most of them are outside" his father said "they wanted to know if you wanted to play football"
"They play football?" Jaden asked surprised
"Son, they are human not animals" Jack laughed
"Still, I don't want to play" he said
"Well will you at least come out please?"
"Ok". They walked outside where Juliet greeted them "there you are"
"Yep" Jack said
"So are you ready to play?" she asked Jaden
"I'm not playing" he said behind his dad
"Why not?" she asked grabbing his hand
"Let go!" Jaden shouted and hid behind Jack
"Jaden, it's ok, she is not going to hurt you" his father said pulling him out
"Sorry" he told Juliet "he is not in the mood today"
