And the pack has a meeting regarding this issue.

Chapter 11: Try to Unite

Later that evening, Jojo and Mana were waiting for the rest of the pack members to come by the living room so they can try to help each other and make sure that these hard times will not affect the future of the pack and continue to make a stronger bond than ever before. Although in the case of the situation they're in, it can be proven difficult to accomplish it. But they know that they can handle this in any way and succeed.

Soon enough, Jonah, Travis and Sam came back to the pack house after a long day of school alongside Noah and they see Jojo and Mana sit down in the living room, waiting for them for something and they could tell something was up and Travis asked, "Hey, what's going on?"

"Glad you guys are here. We're just waiting for the others to come over." Mana added.

Soon enough, Jonah, Travis, Sam and Noah sat down on the couch and one-by-one, Brutus, Casper, Justin, Dustin, Zeke, Marcus, Hoagie, Josh, Leif, Chad, Seth, Austin, Mike, Cody, Cyrus, Hawk, Jared, Ryan, Stephen, Frankie, Max, Manny, Lars, Brent and Spike came from downstairs or outside and most of them were surprised that they're all gathered here for something to discuss and Casper asked, "What's all this shit?"

"Little pack meeting." Jojo answered.

That raised a lot of concern for the others whenever there's a pack meeting coming in and Austin asked, "Who died?"

"Nobody died, Austin. Since Diego's still at work, Mana and I thought we'd share a little bit of concern over this ordeal we've been having and I understand that there's a bit of loyalty issues within the pack because of school and financial burdens. We all understand that, but we can't let those get in the way of what we're all about." Jojo stated.

Casper could tell that there's a huge amount of loyalty issues with the pack and has always questioned himself about his position with why he's here and why it all started in the first place and Seth asked, "Who's got a problem?"

Casper rose his hand because he's got the most issues there and Mana said, "You have the floor, Casper."

"Okay...all I just wanted to say is what's wrong with us? We haven't been much of a unit around here and I feel as if I'm less of a pack member and it got me thinking; why did we start this fucking pack in the first place?" asked Casper.

The minute he said it...it caused a huge amount of shocking reception towards the whole pack and at some point, they were really disturbed by Casper questioning why was it made in the first place and Cody asked, "Are you serious?"

"Why would you say that?" asked Jonah, a little pissed off.

"You guys are more focused on work, school and taking care of financial shit and the pack isn't like what it used to be. It's not what I've signed up for. I always thought that we're there through the thick and thin and whatever problems we have, we should be there for each other. Just lately, it all stopped and you guys are focused on your own fucking problems and no one even fucking cares." Casper added.

"We do care for each other, Casper. You should know that." Travis reasoned.

Casper looked at Travis in the eye and said, "I'm starting to believe that you're fucking lying to my face right now."

Jonah was taken aback by how Casper addressed it and he stood up and asked, "How the fuck is he lying to you? Don't you know how much we care about each other?"

"It just doesn't feel like it anymore! What part don't you get?!" Casper shouted.

Justin closed his eyes in regards to what Casper had just blurted out and he just wanted to hold him back from all the stuff he just said and muttered to himself, "What the fuck?"

"Casper, that's completely unnecessary!" Mana shouted.

"What's unnecessary is that I have to deal with my shittty personal demons that I can't even fucking talk about because everyone's too busy or that they just don't give a fuck!" Casper exclaimed.

Jojo went in the middle of this and he said, "Let's just calm down and talk about this situation in a calm and rational way. The last thing we need is to have it end in a bloodfight."

Justin looks at Casper in the eye and he said, "Why are you treating yourself like an asshole?"

"I'm just frustrated, angry, hurt, afraid, upset that we're starting to fall apart! Everyone's worried about their shit and nobody gives a fuck about everyone else!" Casper shouted.

"Casper...we all have our own personal shit to deal with, but it doesn't mean we can't carry our burdens. That's the point of this pack...we carry our burdens together." Jojo added.

"That goes for the rest of you guys too." Mana added, looking at them.

Jonah agreed with that and he said, "For the record, I know what Casper meant by that. I'm sick of everyone going in different directions at a time when we should be there for each other. I think we're all a little guilty to let our work life get in the way of the pack. Not saying I disagree with him because he makes a good point there...but you don't have to call Travis a liar."

"I'm sorry." Casper said.

Travis nodded his head at that and accepts his apology from the spot and Mana said, "We alll forgive you, Casper. Our busy lives can't dictate our pack and you can't feel like you're less loyal to us. Your pain is our pain and we share it with us no matter what."

Everyone agreed to have a little cut back on their schedules and commitments in order to make sure the pack will stick around together and that seemed fait for some, but for Casper...it still felt like it just wasn't enough.

Sorry for the multiple cursing. It's the first time I've done this. Sounds like Casper's loyalty hangs in the balance. What will he do to cope?
