Wes had finally given up and taken Eric's advice, he knew deep down that Jen would not want him to be acting the way he was; she would have probably slugged him hard in the arm for acting like a two year old. But that thought process of Jen hurt Wes to the point that it clouded his thought most days. But today he decided to change; if he couldn't get her back then he would do the next best thing. He would work everyday for the rest of his life to make sure that her life would be as good as possible. The only problem was the fact that he really had no idea where to start. He decided that he would go running in the park where him and Jen used to train.
As Wes ran he began to loose track of time, and before long he was exhausted, he sat under a large oak tree and waited for his heart rate to fall. Wes began to notice that he had seen this tree before; it still had wrappings on it from when Jen ranted to him about getting up early enough to train with her. Wes moved over to the tree and felt the wrappings, now neglected and unused. He noticed though there was small traces of blood on the tree's wrapping. As he got closer, he finally began to understand that Jen had many emotions that she must have kept pent up inside of her. "I'm so sorry that I didn't say something sooner Jen, I never wanted to hurt you." Wes started to tear up from missing her already. "Thank you Jen for being my friend; you always seemed to know what was best." Wes finally understood after all this time that Jen wasn't the hardened emotionless person that most people saw. She was more caring than most others, she just tried to hide it. "Jen you lead with you heart, and now you have led me here." Wes remembered one of the last things he said to her. "I wish that I could live another thousand years to be with you again." Wes replayed the scene in his head. As he looked into Jen's eyes as he looked through her tears all he could see was her soul. "I wish I had said how I felt sooner Jen."
Wes sat by that tree lost in thought from the simple memories of Jen for hours. Thinking about everything from the time Jen gave him his second chance, to the time where he and Jen went undercover at that gym to uncover Frax's plan to create his army. Now that Wes was alone he regretted most of all the time when they were alone in the lobby of the clock tower. How he wished he had sucked up his pride and kissed her. Now he knew he would never get the chance. As night fell upon the park, there was a rustling noise from next to Wes, Eric came walking up too Wes with a worried expression on his face.
"Wes, man have I been looking absolutely everywhere for you." Eric tried to shake Wes out of his train of thought. "Hey man you hear me in there?" Wes looked at Eric, at first with a distant stare, but then with a fire that Eric had not seen out of him for the past three weeks. "Yes Eric, I hear you." Eric just looked at Wes with a bewildered look on his face. "Wes what's wrong?" Wes started to stand up from the tree, and Eric held out his hand to help him up. "Thanks." Wes said as he stood up for the first time in hours. Eric looked at Wes again, "Wes what's wrong man, I've had the silver guardians all over town today looking for you."
Wes hung his head a little lower, sorry Eric, I decided to take your advise and get out a little bit. "I'm glad too hear it." Eric responded. " But do me a favor, for god sakes man tell someone next time will you?" Wes noticed the sun setting for the first time, and also noticed the detachment of silver guardians looking through the park in a search pattern. "Sorry Eric." Wes said. "I didn't realize I was gone for that long." Eric called over to his men "alrighty boys search ended I found him." The men started walking towards them, some of them looking more than a little annoyed at having too look all day for someone who had been sitting in a park. "Eric dismissed his men granting them the next day off on the basis that the city didn't catch on fire the next day. Some of the men looked shocked to be getting the day off. Now that the other rangers were gone, protecting the city had been a full time job. They dispersed too their jeeps, and exited the park.
"Hey Eric, I wanted too talk to you about something." Eric stopped walking and turned to Wes. "Look Wes I miss them too but..." Before Eric could finish Wes cut him off. "Actually Eric its not about them." That effectively made Eric stop talking. I wanted to talk to you about my part with the Silver Guardians." Wes looked Eric straight in the eye. "I'm ready to come back Eric." "I'm ready to lead the men with you. Eric just looked at Wes with his face betraying nothing. "We'll now," he said "what finally crawled in you and brought you back too the real world?" Wes just smiled a little. " I'm no use to anyone if I'm in a room for the rest of time." Eric patted Wes on the back as they walked out of the park. "We'll it's about time." Was all Eric managed too say.

A/N… This is another build up chapter for Wes, I'm sorry if you don't think that this is how he would have acted. As always, leave some constructive criticism on how I can improve the story. Because like I said this is my first one. Thanks For Reading.
