After Alexis left a few days ago, Jaden became depressed and barely left his room. He only came down for meals. He barely ate even when he came down. Eventually, Jaden just hauled enough food to last him the week before coming back down to get some for the next week. Janice tried several times to talk to him, but his door was locked, and when it was open, Jaden was asleep. He cried himself to sleep every night since Alexis left.
"I need to talk to him," Janice said to herself. She walked to her son's room and knocked on the door.
No response.
"Jaden, sweetheart, can I come in?" Janice heard a muffled reply. She turned the knob and opened the door, surprised that it was open. She saw Jaden lying on his bed with his back turned to her. She walked to his bed and sat next to her son. "Do you wanna talk?" She stroked his brown hair with a sad expression.
"No…" Jaden mumbled. He rolled over to face his mother. "When is Lexi coming back?" Janice frowned and rested next to him.
"I don't know, sweetheart…" Tears welled up in Jaden's eyes.
"Is she coming back…?"
"I don't know…"
"I miss her, Mommy…" Janice stroked his hair which normally comforted him.
"I miss her, too…"
"Is she gonna come visit…?"
"She might…"
"Mommy…" Jaden said softly.
"Yes?" Janice asked.
"My chest hurts…"
"Where does it hurt?" Jaden clutched the left side of his chest. "You just miss Lexi a lot…"
"Why did she leave me…? Did I do something wrong…?"
"You didn't do anything wrong, Jaden. Her daddy has to go somewhere else."
"Doesn't he like me? He let me be friends with Lexi…"
"It's not that he doesn't like you, he just has to go."
"Why?"
"So Lexi and Atty can stay at their house and have food to eat." Jaden's eyes lit up like Christmas lights.
"I know! Lexi and Atty can stay here with us!"
"She can't."
"Why?"
"There's no room for them here."
"Lexi can stay in my room. Atty can stay in Daddy's old room, and you and Lexi's mommy can share a room!" Janice smiled at him.
"We can't do that."
"Why?"
"How do we get the food for them?"
"We get it at the store."
"Where do we get the money?"
"… Do we get it from a tree? My friend says that a tree with green stuff on it is in his yard! He says the green stuff is money! Maybe he can give us some!"
"Jaden, the green stuff is leaves."
"Can't we give them leaves for the food?"
"No, we can't."
"So… the green stuff isn't money?"
"No."
"… Then he lied to me?"
"No, he just mistook it for money."
"I don't know where money comes from then…"
"I'm sorry, sweetie… maybe you and Alexis will meet again later!"
"How long is later?"
"It could be a few days, weeks, months, or maybe years…" Jaden sat up instantly.
"That's not long!" Janice smiled at him and sat up.
"Maybe not… Come on, let's go get some ice-cream then maybe you'll feel better!" Jaden jumped out of bed.
"Hurry, Mommy! Before all the ice-cream gets taken away!" Jaden raced downstairs. Janice giggled and followed him to the car.
~With Alexis~
Alexis was walking with her brother and father to the grocery store since Amber caught a cold. Alexis grabbed her dad's hand.
"Daddy," she said.
"Yes, Alexis?" her dad Mark asked.
"Why did we leave Jaden? I miss him."
"I had to so I can make more money and keep our house and get food for us."
"Will we visit Jaden soon?"
"We might."
"When is that?"
"Maybe next summer we can visit him."
"But that's so far from today!" Mark picked her up and looked at her.
"We'll visit him soon. You'll be okay."
"I miss him."
"We all miss him. Atticus misses him, too, right?" Atticus nodded and looked at Alexis.
"Don't worry, Sissy!" he said. "Jaden misses you, too! You and Jaden will always be friends!" Alexis smiled and hugged her dad.
"Thanks, Atty," she said.
"Can you pick me up, too, Daddy?" Atticus asked.
"You want me to pick you up too! Atty, you're heavy!" Mark said playfully. Alexis giggled and pointed at her brother.
"I told you, Atty, you are heavy!" she said. Mark pushed finger down.
"Pointing is rude, Lexi," he told her. "Say sorry to him."
"Sorry, Atty," Alexis said. Atticus smiled.
"I forgive you!" Atticus said happily. Mark smiled and picked him up and walked into the grocery store.
"What are we gonna buy?" he asked his two kids.
"Ice-cream!" Atticus yelled.
"No, we can't have ice-cream!" Mark said playfully.
"Medicine for Mommy," Alexis suggested.
"Oh, yeah, Sissy's right. Mommy needs medicine," Atticus said.
"Alright, then we're getting medicine," Mark confirmed, walking to the pharmacist.
"Hi, how can I help you?" the pharmacist asked.
"I need some medicine for my wife. She just caught a cold, but I'm new to this area. Could you show me where it is?" Mark asked.
"Of course, I can!" The pharmacist went around her desk and led them to the medicine area of the store. "Is that all?"
"Ye-"
"Do you know where the ice-cream is?" Atticus asked, cutting off his dad. The pharmacist giggled.
"It's two isles away from here to your right, sweetie," she said, smiling.
"Thank you!"
"Your kids are so cute!" Mark smiled.
"Thank you!" he said, imitating his son. He gave a big, toothy smile to his son, who smiled and laughed.
~With Jaden~
"Thanks for the ice-cream, Mommy!" Jaden thanked, walking away with his mom.
"You're welcome, Jaden," Janice said.
"So when do I see Lexi again?"
"I'm not sure, but maybe you'll see her again soon."
"Tomorrow will I see her?"
"You probably won't see her tomorrow."
"Okay… but soon, right?"
"Yes, soon, we'll both see her."
"I miss her! I wanna see her soon!"
"I wanna see her soon, too."
"I wish I could see her tomorrow…"
"Don't worry, you'll see her again."
"I hope so… she ate my cookie!"
"You took a big bite out of her cookie."
"It was supposed to be my cookie…"
"Well, at least, she shared with you. Would you have shared?"
"Of course I would! Lexi's my best friend!"
"You don't always share with her though…"
"I wanna see Lexi so I can say sorry for not sharing! I feel bad now…"
"It's okay; Lexi will forgive you."
"I hope she does… I don't like when Lexi's mad at me…" Janice patted his head. She had a loose grip on her ice-cream so it fell from her hands and plopped on Jaden's head.
"… Mommy… did a birdie poop on me…?"
"No… I dropped my ice-cream…"
