Chapter 9:
The next day, Kacy was checking chirper when she saw a post,
"Hey sis." Allen stated,
"Hey." Kacy sighed,
"What's wrong?" Allen asked but Kacy just showed him her phone. It was about Roxy and Mike, "Why is this making you act like that?" Allen asked,
"It's my fault." Kacy mumbled,
"No it's not." Allen replied,
"Yes it is. If I hadn't dated him in the 1st place, none of this would've happened." Kacy stated, tears pricking her eyes. Allen saw the tears and sat on Kacy's bed and placed a hand on Kacy's shoulder,
"It may feel that way but it's not. At the time, you would've seen this happening, you trusted him and you saw him differently than to how you see him now because he acted different. All this, this is his fault." Allen explained. Kacy's tears started to fall down her cheeks. Allen wrapped his arms around his little sister, "You didn't start a thing. None of this is your fault." Allen softly stated to Kacy,
"Breakfast!" Skylor called out. Kacy looked up to her big brother,
"Thanks Allen." Kacy murmured,
"What are you thanking me for? You don't need to thank me for being a brother." Allen replied, "Now lets eat before the black holes eat it all." He added with a chuckle and Kacy chuckled too.
At school, it seemed like the whole school knew about yesterday. The fight and Roxy's burns,
"Hey guys." Brandon stated as he walked up to them,
"Hey." They replied,
"Is what they said about yesterday true?" Brandon asked,
"Yeah." The twins replied as they cracked their knuckles,
"Wait till I get my hands on him." Laura mumbled under her breath,
"You'll have to do it outside of school. Mike isn't here anymore." Jackie explained, "Thank goodness for that." She mumbled under her breath,
"Good. Wait. Why ain't he here?" Laura asked,
"He got expelled." Nick explained,
"And how do you guys know this?" Allen asked,
"Over heard Cole and dad talking." Nick explained with Jackie nodding in agreement,
"Don't Jay and Nya keep on telling you 2 to not eavesdrop?" Pixen asked,
"Meh." Nick shrugged,
"It was important info that we deserve to know." Jackie explained.
After school, Allen walked into Ninjago Hospital,
"Hello, how can I help you?" Fiona asked,
"Hi, I'm looking for Roxy." Allen replied,
"Roxy who?" Fiona asked,
"She doesn't have a last name, it was never recorded." Allen explained,
"That Roxy. Sweet girl. May I ask your relationship to her?" Fiona asked,
"I'm a good friend of hers." Allen explained,
"Room 106 on the 2nd floor." Fiona explained. Allen thanked Fiona and went to Roxy's room,
"Hey Rox." Allen greeted,
"Allen. What are you doing here?" Roxy asked,
"Thought I'd visit." Allen replied,
"So what's happening in the outside world? My phone got smashed so much I can't see things from it." Roxy explained,
"Mike's apparently expelled and the whole school knows about the fight and your burns." Allen replied. Roxy let out a disappointed sigh, "What's wrong?" Allen asked,
"Everyone knows. Now when I go back to school, I'm going to get treated differently to the others and how I use to." Roxy explained,
"There's nothing wrong with that. What matters is that you are the same girl as you always were and if there is a difference, you are stronger." Allen explained. Roxy took a second to process this,
"Why are you so good to people?" Roxy asked,
"Because we're equal and we all deserve to be treated the same no matter what. You know me, I've my share of downs." Allen explained.
Flashback
Allen walked into school when,
"Hey faggot!" some kid called as Brandon walked by,
"Hi." Brandon relied with a smile,
'How is he so confident?' Allen thought when the bell went,
"Allen!" Kacy called as she ran up with Pixen and Jackie,
"What is it my year 7s." Allen asked,
"We don't know where to go." Pixen explained as he held out his timetable,
"That's on the way to my class. Follow me." Allen stated as he gave back his timetable. Allen had health and today they were talking about gay relationships,
"Now who can tell me what it means to be in a same sex relationship?" the teacher Mr Owen asked,
"It's gross." 1 student commented,
"It's un-natural." Another added. Allen pulled his hoodie over his face when Brandon rolled his eyes in annoyance,
"You guys are stupid." Brandon commented, "To be in a same sex relationship is the same as any other relationship except for the fact that both people are the same sex." Brandon answered,
"Correct Brandon." Mr Owen stated, "As for those people who commented those other things, homosexuality is a tough thing and it's hard to be homosexual, I should know." Mr Owen added, and when he finished, the whole room went silent,
'How could he just come out like that?' Allen thought,
"What?" the 1st student asked,
"Answer me this, have I been gross and have I at any point been un-natural?" Mr Owen asked but the class remained silent with Brandon smiling and Allen slightly under his hood, "That's what I thought." Mr Owen stated. After the lesson, Allen went over to Brandon,
"Hi." Allen quietly stated,
"Hi. How can I help ya?" Brandon asked with a smile,
"I just…uh…have a…question." Allen sputtered,
"Sure what is it?" Brandon asked, confused,
"Um…well…uh…how do you…uh…?" Allen tried to get out,
"How do I stay cool with realising my sexuality?" Brandon guessed,
"How did you know?" Allen asked,
"I get it a lot. I honestly grew up to not let others' thoughts effect me." Brandon explained, "My uncle's gay so I knew I had no problem any way." He added,
"Oh." Allen mumbled, sadness creeping into his voice,
"Is something wrong?" Brandon asked,
"What, uh, no." Allen replied a bit too quickly,
"What is it?" Brandon asked. Allen looked into Brandon's kind, clear hazel eyes and could feel himself getting redder,
It's just um…I, uh." Allen stuttered,
"You're homo?" Brandon asked. Allen pulled his hood over his face, red in embarrassment as he slightly nodded,
"Am I that obvious?" Allen asked,
"No. I figured it out since you were having trouble saying what you were saying. Do you need my help coming out?" Brandon asked,
"Should I? I'm not sure if I should or not." Allen admitted,
"Of course you should. It's who you are and it's important to let the world know who you are." Brandon explained. Over the next few months, Brandon helped Allen with building his self-confidence and soon, coming out. Brandon even helped Allen with the bulling from the few homophobes at the school. Allen felt good, no secrets he had from the world, no more pretending to be someone he's not, he even developed a crush on Brandon until Brandon asked him out.
End flashback
Pixen sat on his bed, staring at a photo of Pixal and him when he was a baby,
'I hope you're ok mum and don't worry, I'll find you, soon I hope.' Pixen thought as tears pricked his eyes when there was a knock on the door. Pixen wiped the tears from his eyes and answered the door to see Jackie standing there,
"What's up?" Pixen asked,
"Just wanted to see if you were ok. You've becoming more and more distant these days." Jackie explained,
"I have? Well I assure you it's nothing." Pixen reassured,
"Pixen. It's not like you to be distant and you've been spending more time in your room and not participating as much as you used to. Come on, you can talk to me." Jackie encouraged. Pixen saw the kind electricity in Jackie's eyes as he let his head drop,
"It's mum. We haven't heard a thing from her or about her. I'm scared, scared that I'll never see her again." Pixen explained as he fought back tears. Jackie couldn't stand to see Pixen like this so, she hugged him,
"Pixen. It's ok to be scared but you shouldn't hide it from people. We're here for you. Pixal will come up again I know it." Jackie stated. Pixen took a moment to process this before hugging back as more tears escaped his eyes. There was something about Jackie's kindness that Pixen couldn't avoid, like she had the same power to eliminate all problems as Pixal would,
"Wanna watch a movie?" Jackie offered,
"A movie sounds great." Pixen replied, wiping the tears from his eyes.
Jackie and Pixen walked into the games room to see Lucas and Laura working on their homework,
"We're watching a movie." Jackie informed,
"K." the twins replied,
"What you wanna watch?" Jackie asked,
"Anything will do." Pixen replied as Jackie spotted a movie,
"Ok. This may look sloppy but I think it'll help you." Jackie explained as she put on Pixal's favourite movie and sat next to Pixen. Pixen hadn't seen the movie since Pixal's disappearance. 2 hours later, Laura nudged Lucas,
"What?" Lucas asked as Laura pressed her finger to her lips and pointed at Jackie and Pixen, the 2 had fallen asleep and Jackie was leaning on Pixen's chest as he had an arm wrapped around her. The twins tried not to laugh as Laura took a photo on her phone,
"How long have they been like that?" Lucas asked, whispering,
"No idea. All I know is Kacy is going to go nuts." Laura whispered back,
"And Pixen is going to go red." Lucas added,
"Pixen will go red? You mean Jackie." Laura corrected,
"Jackie likes Pixen?" Lucas asked,
"Pixen likes Jackie?" Laura asked before the twins were trying to hold back their laughs as Allen walked in,
"Hey." Allen greeted as the twins put their fingers to their lips, "You guys are telling me to be quiet? What's happening?" Allen asked as the twins pointed to the sleeping teens. Allen looked at them and changed his look to a proud father,
"Did 1 of them finally confess?" Allen asked, whispering,
"No. They were watching a movie and they fell asleep who knows how long ago." Laura explained,
"You do realise they're going to be woken up in like about 5 minuets right?" Allen asked,
"I got a photo so I'm good." Laura smiled,
"Send it to me." Lucas demanded,
"Done." Laura replied,
"Shouldn't we be not sharing the photo?" Allen questioned,
"No." the twins replied,
"In that case…send me a copy." Allen stated as they heard footsteps going towards the doorframe and Jay walked into the room,
"What's going on?" Jay asked when he saw the 3 looking at the sofa. The 3 went wide-eyed on what to say so Jay walked over to get a better view only to find his only daughter asleep on the chest of his teammates' son's chest. Jay looked at the other 3,
"Should I be stopping this?" Jay asked on the role of father. The 3 violently shook their heads as Jay tried not to burst out laughing, "I'll take that as a no." Jay stated as he walked out. Soon the gong went for dinner,
"Aw. Now they have to wake up." Laura complained as she looked up from her homework, which Allen was now helping them with,
"Sorry but they got to eat." Allen replied, "But you do get a choice who wakes up 1st." Allen stated,
"Pixen." Both twins said at the same time, something not out of the ordinary for them. Allen chuckled at the 2 as he gently shook Pixen. Pixen stirred,
"How long was I asleep?" Pixen asked within a yawn and was about to stretch when he noticed the sleeping Jackie on his chest. Pixen went wide-eyed, as he turned redder than Kai's suit,
"What do I do?" Pixen asked in a whisper,
"You have to wake her, it's dinner time." Lucas stated as the 3 walked out, no one knowing the Laura sat up her phone to video the 2. After the other 3 left, Pixen looked back at Jackie. Jackie looked peaceful as she slept. Pixen extremely carefully shook her but Jackie being a girl who doesn't like to wake up, curled up into a ball, which meant huddling up closer to Pixen. Pixen blushed harder at the action (even though he was already at full blush) and tried again,
"Jackie. Dinner's ready." Pixen gently stated. Jackie finally yawned and stretched as she opened her eyes,
"How long was I out?" Jackie asked within her yawn,
"Don't know." Pixen replied. Jackie looked where she had just risen from and when she realised she was sleeping on her crush's chest, she went into full blush mode. The 2 just looked at each other as they stood up and walked to the dining room for dinner.
Hope you enjoyed and hopefully the next chapter will be up soon and yeah. HAVE A GOOD ONE!
