Chapter 2:

The former ranger-commander walked through the living room, a room he shared with Jason. They tried to mix both their styles in the shared rooms, the walls of the living room where sand colored, except the one to the south, that wall was painted red with a large white falcon in the middle, a falcon in his flight entwined with a golden dragon, a symbol of their special friendship, a symbol only know by those who served Zordon.

Only those who knew Tommy as they did, knew how spiritual Tommy really was, but only one person knew the whole meaning behind it that particular painting and it wasn't Jason.

The former white ranger paced through the room, there was a nagging feeling in his mind, one he could put a finger on.

He was used to listening to his intuition through the years as a ranger and they never betrayed him, the only time when he didn't listen that something was going on was the moment he had received that awful letter, yes he had feelings for two person but that didn't make the whole period less painful, he really loved Kimberley and he probably would for the rest of his life.

" What the hell is going on with me?" he asked himself out loud.

He knew that he would know the answer to his intuition sooner or later.

He sighed before he took place in the sofa in front of the television, "damn it, this is ridiculous maybe a good movie will ease my mind a bit."

He switched the television on and kept searching through the channels until he stopped on a channel showing an old action movie with Chuck Norris.

" I need to talk to someone he thought and fast, we share this place for a few years now and never has it been this difficult to control my emotions, but who is safe enough to talk too without my room-mate knowing what I said, I am just afraid to ruin our special friendship." he sighed in a whisper.

"why don't you tell me what is on your mind?"

The wind blew this through his hair beside his ear, giving him the chills over his spine, he ran his fingers absent mindlessly through his ponytail, his eyes never leaving the action movie.

"What is on your mind? You can trust me."

The wind blew again, but this time Tommy beside him looking for the open window but all windows where closed.

" I starting to hear things, I need to talk to someone and fast because I going insane."

"You are not going insane Tommy, talk to me?"

the whisper in the wind sounded louder now,

" I know that voice!" thought Tommy, " but that is impossible!"

" Nothing is impossible and you of all people should know that..."

This time the whisper wasn't a whisper anymore and it came from right behind him, the young man whirled around and couldn't possibly believe what was in front of him...

Jason was working in the office of their dojo, working on the administration, something Tommy usually helped him with during their classes.

They had a large office with each an own desk, large red walls with on the largest wall, the one on Jason side a large white dragon delineated with a beautiful golden line, encircled by the words 'the white dragon' in black letters.

A knock on the door shook him out of his concentration.

" Enter!" he yelled without looking around to see who was at the door.

" Here is the list you wanted about the people who are ready for their black belt test next," said Adam's voice from behind him.

Jason turned around, " Thank you, Adam." Jason's voice sounded tired, there were dark circles around his eyes, it looked like he hadn't been sleeping well for quite some time.

Adam closed the door before turning back towards his long-time friend and boss.

" Are you alright Jase? You look awful!"

" Should I tell him what is on my mind or not?" he thought before he would answer Adam.

" This Adam I am talking too, of course, I can trust him." He thought before he sighed.

"Can you keep a secret Adam?" he asked already knowing the answer.

Adam nodded and took place on the little sofa on the other side of Jason's desk.

" Sure Jase..., tell me what's wrong."

" Do you remember that conversation we had about a year ago, where I told you that I was in love with someone but didn't want to say who?"

Adam nodded, " Yeah I remember, I didn't ask any further because I knew if you were ready to tell me, you would. It is a guy a know, isn't it?"

Jason was shocked, he never told anybody it was a man.

" How did... did you... know it was about a man?"

Adam smiled, " I had my suspicions since our talk, why else would you not tell me who it was."

Jason smiled again, " If he doesn't want me, I am coming after you."

" I hope he says yes then." joked Adam before becoming serious again.

" Go on, what is on your mind?"

Jason sighed deeply, " Here we go, there is no way back now!" thought the former red ranger.

" The man I am talking about shares his home with me and it is becoming more and more difficult to be just friends with him, I mean look at him, he walks half-naked through the house, I know that we live together for a few years now and don't ask me why now, but I close my eyes and I see him, laying next to me his head in my arms. I will spare you the details." laughed Jason when he saw Adam's face.

" What is holding you back from talking to him?" Adam asked curiously

" I am afraid of losing him completely, losing his friend is much worse than not having him in my life as a boyfriend." Jason's voice was sad and low.

This time it was Adams turn to sigh, he was an outsider and had seen the glances the secretly did to each other, he needed to convince Jason to talk to him.

" I understand your way of thinking Jason, but please believe me when you say you have nothing to lose when you talk to him."

Jason looked up, slightly hoping that Adam was right.

" You really think that I should talk to him about it and that he would not stop being my best friend when I tell him the truth about my feelings?" asked secretly hoping it was just that what Adam had said to him.

Adam nodded, "Look, Jason, I am going, to be honest with you, I saw your glances towards Tommy and I saw his glances towards you so yes I am pretty sure you won't ruin your friendship with him, I even believe you will gain with it. You don't have to believe me but I know what I saw."

Jason's smile became brighter now, " so there is hope on happiness." he thought before he asked Adam just one more time that he was sure about what he saw.

Adam rolled his eyes, " Yes, Jason, I am sure. No go and talk to him, the sooner you talk the sooner you will be able to sleep again."

Jason nodded again, " I am going to talk to him, please help me, God."

In Florida, Kimberly had taken her seat in front of her son.

" Diego sweetheart, you that mommy has all these little monsters in her body that make mommy sick?"

Diego nodded

" Well honey, mommy is going to need some help because of those little monster so we are going on a trip together, we are going to the city where mommy grew up as a kid to mommy's close friends and to your daddy."

The child eyes lit up, " I am going to see my daddy?" Diego was a smart kid for his age.

" Yes, honey but it means also you need to say goodbye to Brian, mommy doesn't know when she can return with you."

Kim knew she wouldn't return with him if everything went like she thought it would. But there was no need in telling him that, that was a worry for another time.
