Most of the reason of why did not I get this done sooner was that life was getting in the way too often. Anyways here the next chapter. I hope you guys like it.


Later that night, Jay lied in his sleeping, back facing the ground with nothing, but the sounds of insects in birds to keep him company. He sighed. These two weeks had made anymore use to being without sight; if anything it made him long for him to have his sight that much more. His friends done the best they could to help and he was thankful that; he also loved the attention he was getting, especially with Nya, but a lot of times, he felt Closter phobic having them around most of the time.

Toss, turn, shuffling, shifting, he tried getting to sleep, but that seemed like impossible task to do, when your brain having a difficult time differentiating when it is supposed to sleep and times to be awake and right now it saying time to be a wake. After several failed attempts, he got up and felt his way to the flap of his tent.

He then went out and heard the faint sounds of his comrades talking. Curious, he walked closer, being careful to feel his surroundings. If there was anything that his blindness gave him was that his hearing grown shaper. Soon, he stopped at the point where he could hear his allies lucid and listen in. "But, what are we going to about Jay? He can't do anything without us, since he lost his sight"

"I hate to say it, but if he doesn't get sight back soon, we might have to send him back to his parents"

"My parents?! No, they can't! They need me!" He thought to himself. Panicking while at the same time trying his best to keep his cool he tried to continue to listen in.

"It's too dangerous for all of us too to let him stay here. At least this way, someone could be there for him without being attacked by something" As soon he heard everyone agreeing, he walked away, rather ticked and worried; ticked, that his allies and his girlfriend would say that behind his back and worried, that his adventure might put to a halt. It was not that he did not love his parents, though his actions may say otherwise, especially when other people are around, it just that he loved going on an adventure with his friends, getting Nya to like him again, and getting to do so much to let it all be snatched away from him like a favorite necklace of yours that was taken from you by a bully. There was so much he could do by staying, stuff that he never could do by just staying with his parents.

He soon found his way to his tent and went in, where he tried to think of ways for them to let him stay, but he finally fell a sleep before could think of any.


The next morning, he was fast at work, continuing to think of ideas when all of the sudden he heard the sounds of his teammates getting ready to leave. His hopes grown with the sounds he heard. "Bingo!" he thought. He darted up from where he was sitting, before guiding himself to the origin of the noises. Once he gotten their he heard them playing rock, paper, clamp for what, he did not know nor that he cared, he was just happy to finally get this chance, like a once in life time event he was not going to let this opportunity slip through his grasp; he was going to do everything in his power to make them take him along. "HEY GUYS! WAIT UP!" He yelled.

"Huh? Not now Jay; we're seeing who will be staying behind;" said Cole in what sound like an annoyed tone.

"HUH?! WHAT, STAYING?!"

"That's right; we're leaving you here, while one of us is staying;"

"WHA-WHAT?! BUT YOU GUYS NEED ME! LIKE ALL FOR ONE-!"

"Jay, you're staying!"

"But?!"

"Drop it Jay, alright! You're staying!'

Just as the leader finished saying that, the voice of Kai's soon emerged. "Sorry Jay, but we can't have you getting yourself hurt"

Just then, he heard Nya speaking up, saying "You should sit this one out Jay"

"Aw Nya, not you too?!"

"My brother's right, you could get hurt out there" He could not believe it, even the girl he loved the most was on the others. Jay knew that they were being honest with him and looking out for his safety, but he did not care at this point, he wanted to prove his worth to everyone and yet he could not. Like a bird with a broken wing, he felt so helpless, it was frustrating that all he could was nothing, but stand there while they decide, what would be the outcome. Now he knew how Lloyd and Nya felt when he and his three other friends left them to go battle their old enemy the Serpentine.

Soon he heard Zane spoke up "You guys go on without me, I'll stay behind and look after Jay" catching everyone a bit off-guard. What was up with this music?

"Are you sure, Zane?"

"Yes"

"Wow; Thanks Zane!"

"Thank you"

"Yeah thanks, Zane!"

As he heard everyone getting into their vehicles and leaving, Jay could not, but wonder, just a little of why Zane, out of all of them, Zane wanted to stay behind.
