Sorry this was so short. Hopefully next chapter will get longer.
Jared sat on the couch and dialed Jensen. He sighed when the phone went straight to voicemail. Again.
"Jen, its Jay. Again. Call me back please?"
Jared hung up the phone. He didn't what had gone wrong. One week things between him and Jensen were fine and the next, Jensen was ignoring him, wouldn't return his phone calls, and even stopped coming on Skype.
"Forget him," Gen said. "It's clear he doesn't want to be around you. That's his loss."
"I agree," Megan said. "You're not at fault here, Jensen is."
"Don't you have homework to do?" Jared asked.
"Stop treating me like I'm eight," Megan huffed before walking upstairs to her room.
"Megan's right though," Gen said.
When Jensen first started ignoring Jared, he called Genevieve and told her everything. She held him while he cried and told that it wasn't his fault and Jensen was just being an ass. That was 3 weeks ago.
"I just don't understand. Does he think I'll wanna be with Tom now just because of the baby?"
Gen shrugged, "I wish I knew Jay. I wish I knew."
~*~J2~*~
Jensen deleted the message as soon as he heard it. He didn't want to be bothered with Jared's insistent whining.
"You're being an ass."
Jensen looked toward his door to see Mackenzie standing there, "What?"
"I said you're being an ass. I mean you'd think you'd learn."
Jensen sat up on his bed, "What are you talking about?"
Mackenzie walked into the bedroom, "Firs Jared avoids you and now you're avoiding him? I don't know what happened nor do I need to know, but avoiding each other doesn't solve anything. You love him JR. I've never seen you this way about anyone since you and Jared started dating. I mean you guys have been together almost a year don't you think that ought to have taught you something? Whatever problems you have, you'll get through them together."
Jensen stared at his sister, "When did you get so smart?" He asked.
Mackenzie laughed, "I've been told I take after my brother."
"Thanks."
"I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about Josh," she teased.
"Ouch," Jensen laughed punching his sister on the arm.
Mackenzie laughed and left the room. Jensen laid back down and really thought about what Mackenzie had said. He sighed and turned over glancing at the clock. He grabbed his cell and dialed his boyfriend's number.

Jared and Gen were hallway through the movie when Jared's phone rang. They saw it was Jensen.
"Ignore it," Gen said.
Jared shook his head, "Hey," he said answering the phone.
"Jay, hey, I thought you had gone to bed. I was planning to leave you a message," Jensen said.
"What do you want Jen?"
"Look, I know I've been an ass, and I really don't expect you to forgive me, but I was hoping you'd give me a chance to explain."
"When?"
"Tomorrow? Come to my job?"
"What time?"
"Um, say between twelve and one."
"I'll be there."
"Perfect, see you then."
Jared hung up the phone and turned to Gen who glowered at him.
"Really Jay?"
"I gotta give him a chance to explain himself before I condemn him."
Genevieve just sighed as she stood up from the couch. Jared walked her out before heading to the kitchen in search of Butter Pecan ice cream and pickles.
~*~J2~*~
The next afternoon after Jared finished his brunch of scrambled eggs and pickles, and orange juice, he headed to Roy's Auto Body. He waved to Roy once he got there and headed out back.
"Jensen?"
Jensen wheeled himself from under the truck he was working on, "Hey. Gimmie about five minutes. I just wanna finish this and then I'll be on my break."
Jared nodded and stood to the side as he watched Jensen. Just watching the play of Jensen's muscles was enough to get him hard. He groaned. This day was not starting well.
"All done," Jensen said standing up.
Jensen led Jared out of the garage and down the street to the sandwich shop. Jensen ordered a Reuben sandwich and a soda while Jared ordered coffee.
"So, I was feeling a bit jealous."
Jared frowned, "Jealous? Jealous of what?"
"Tom. I just felt like you two would become buddy-buddy and you wouldn't need me anymore."
Their orders arrived and when the waitress left, Jared started laughing.
"That is ridiculous. Why would I become buddies with Tom? I mean yeah, I forgave him, but that doesn't mean anything. Besides, you're my boyfriend and I love you," Jared said sipping his coffee. "Tom is just my baby daddy. I mean he tried giving me money once and I gave it right back. I made it pretty clear that I didn't want anything from him."
Jensen looked at Jared, "Yeah?"
Jared nodded, "Yup. Jen, you've always been there for me and you promised you'd always be there for me and help me out with my daughter. Why would I pass that up? You're mine Jensen Ross. Always and forever."
Jensen smiled as he polished off his sandwich, "And you're mine Jared Tristan."
TBC...
Don't worry everybody this is not the end! I promise.
