Jake's Grief
Jake Green missed his father so badly. He felt like he had been ripped in half following his father's death.
Jake had pushed all of his feelings about his father's death away as he helped Hawkins take down the Allied States of America. But now there was nothing for him to do.
Hawkins was recovering from his gunshot wound, and preparing for the birth of his third child. It had come as a shock to the Hawkins family when they learned they were getting another family.
Mimi and Stanley were having twins. Jake was going to be godfather. He should be happy for his best friend, but all he did lately was lash out at everyone around him.
"You need to get through this," Stanley told Jake about two days after he had returned. "Mourn your little sister," Jake had snapped. He had immediately regretted saying that, but he knew he had hurt his best friend.
The only way Jake knew how to get rid of his hurt was to hurt everyone else. It was how he dealt with things.
He had also broken up with Emily after his return. "Why are you doing this," Emily had screamed. Jake had rolled his eyes and told her to go back to her ex-fiancé and then mocked her about Roger being driven out of Jericho.
He had screamed at his mother about the dishes not being clean yesterday. "Don't yell at me," Gail had screamed. It had ended up in an all out fight between the two that had ended when Eric came in.
Eric and Jake had had their problems after Johnston's death. They had ended up in a knock down, drag out fight on their front lawn. Bill had to end up breaking it up.
Jake may be lashing out at everyone, but at night he was a different person. He closed his door, slid down to the floor, and cried for hours. Sometimes he cried himself to sleep against the door or he went in his bed and cried himself to sleep there.
He needed help, and help was about to knock on his doorstep.
