Crosshairs POV

J.R. wasn't bothered that she was laying on me when she woke up. She was able to sleep for seven hours before waking up. She didn't wake up from a nightmare. She ate the half cup of oatmeal we've been giving her and Jayce, but she still won't eat more than that. Jayce now refuses to eat, but I can get her to drink a nutrition drink. I don't know if her low blood sugar situation last night scared her enough to give up trying to die from starvation. I hope so, that was not a great sight to see. J.R. was troubled by how we have to give Jayce nutrition drinks now. I hope she doesn't end up getting to that point.

Drift and Jamie come down. Jamie goes into the bathroom as Drift walks over to the table. Both Jayce and J.R. had a worried expression, but Drift didn't seem to be worried.

"Good call on putting the drink in a cup. Looks like iced coffee or those Monster coffee drinks Jamie gets," Drift points out before going to make tea. Wasn't thinking Jamie could see the drink, I thought those two would still be in bed, but he's right.

"No, Jayce, you finish it!" I demand, regardless if she's thinking of giving the drink to Jamie. Soon after, Jamie joins us but wanted to go upstairs once Drift finished making their tea.

Drift POV

Jamie either didn't notice the drink or didn't think to ask about it. I think I was right, and she thought it was iced coffee. It's hard not to think about what's been going on, especially the past three days and what will happen. Jamie continues to be the least of our problems. She's no longer crying in the middle of the night, but I can tell she's still having a hard time with Buddy's passing. Jamie has returned to her recording and writing. Good, I can leave her alone for a few hours. Jayce and J.R. are difficult.

"You going to do any recording today?" I asked. It's a way I can tell how she'll be today. I don't want to assume, and it turns out she's having a bad morning.

"Maybe later, I want to stay here with you," she said, smiling. It's been a long time since I've seen her smile without something funny being said to her. The others can handle Jayce and J.R., though I worry how difficult are they going to be?

"Shouldn't be a problem. With the way Jayce has been, Jamie needs to be distracted," Crosshairs emphasized. I was washing the cups as we talked. Jayce and J.R. were in their rooms. Crosshairs and I went up together, but I didn't like what we heard coming from Jayce's room. She was sitting at the desk while Jayce sat on the bed.

J.R. POV

"You've caused everyone so much stress the past two days. Worried, you'd die and trying to keep Jamie from knowing. Crosshairs is considering leaving. How long before the others think the same as him?"

"No, J.R., that's not true!" Crosshairs snapped. Jayce looked at him then me, confused.

"I was trying to make her worry and stop trying to kill herself!" I raged before tearing up. I wanted to say more, but I cannot. I ran out of the room.

"J.R.!" Jayce yells, but I'm not stopping.

Jayce POV

I tried to run after J.R., but Drift stopped me.

"Let me go, Drift!" I yelled, "she will hurt herself!"

"I'll take care of her," Crosshairs assures me before leaving the room.

"You've caused her so much stress just the past couple of days. Now you're worried about her?" I didn't know what to say. He's right; I caused everyone to worry more than they have been the past couple of days. Drift sat on the bed and had me sit on his repeated what he said last night, though he didn't know I woke up and heard him. Something else that bothers me; he can't say it to me. This time, he could keep himself from crying, but I couldn't.

Crosshairs POV

"Stop!" I Yelled while running after J.R. out of the base, down the trail to the training grounds. Sure, she's terrified knowing Jayce has been trying to end her life, but I don't think that means J.R. won't try. Once we got to the clearing, I jumped onto her. I rolled onto my back, so she's lying on me. J.R. didn't say anything; she just laid on me and cried. Neither Jayce nor J.R. can control when they cry. Both are hurting emotionally, and nothing is working. A few minutes pass before she's quit. I get up and walk back to the base. I took her back to her room. Doubt she wants to see Jayce.

"I'll be right back," I tell her after laying her on the bed.

Jayce was crying when I looked in the room. I walked in and crouched down in front of Drift.

"J.R. is ok," I assured her, taking her hand, "she's in her room."

"Hey, what's going on here?" Bumblebee asked. Drift looked very concerned, "Jamie is fine; she's doing more recording. Why is J.R. crying?" He looks at Jayce, "and Jayce."

"She was quiet when I left her not even five minutes ago," I tell him and leave the room.

J.R. was lying in her stomach as she cried.I sat on my knees and rubbed her back.I'm out of ideas if I can't leave her alone for a few minutes before she cries. I wish we could take the girls' emotional pain away.

Three hours later

Jayce POV

It's strange waking up to no Autobots in the room. The door is open, but no one is by the room. Wonder if J.R. is asleep? Though I should assume yes.

Shit, she's alone and not doing good. This looks like she was alone for at least an hour. I doubt she was sitting on the floor, then, an anxiety attack started. I sat on my knees beside her and took her hands. I'd like to find out what the hell happened that she's on the floor, but I need to help her get her breathing under control. Crosshairs comes in five minutes later. By now, J.R.'s breathing is better, but he didn't look shocked to see J.R. was going through an anxiety attack. He leaves but returns not even thirty seconds later with the others. They all couldn't believe what was going on. Now I'm getting scared I'm missing something. Then Cade runs down the hall toward the stairs.

What am I missing? What did you do, J.R.?

Before I could even do a full body check, Hound and Bee pick me up; just like they did before with J.R., Something is very wrong. I don't know if J.R. knows, so I bite my lip, trying not to scream. She needs to stay calm. I doubt I'll find out what happened. They'll keep me away, and I can't concentrate to focus on her energy.

Cade POV

Should we be happy Jayce didn't notice the blood on the floor? Or think something else was wrong with J.R.?

I had to take the top of J.R.'s gi off. Both Crosshairs and Drift stayed with me, thinking J.R. would put up a fight. She seems out of it, which isn't good considering the injury we're looking at. I can't hey a good look while on the floor, so I made a temporary bandage. Any ouch would be painful, but J.R. was quiet. I had to look to see if she was even awake. I hope she's calm because of her high pain tolerance, but if she wanted to bleed to death, then why isn't she fighting me to stop taking care of the wound?

Crosshairs carried her downstairs, keeping a hand on the wound.

After Crosshairs carefully laid her on the bed, I put J.R. on the monitor. Everything was fine, which most likely meant she cut herself and should be ok. I removed the temporary covering. The wound was still bleeding, but I need to know what I'm dealing with.

"You are so lucky, J.R.," I mumbled, seeing the cut isn't deep, but it's enough to need stitches.

"She's falling asleep," Crosshairs informs me, not sure if he should be concerned or not.

Her vitals were still good. Why is this happening? This is when the girls' different and unusual response to anything medical is a problem.I took clean gauze and put it on the wound.

"Drift, try to stop the bleeding," I instructed. I waited for him to put his hand on the gauze before taking mine off. We're screwed if J.R. has internal bleeding.

Everything is ine, no signs of internal bleeding or J.R. losing too much blood. Something caught my eye as I walked to the other side of the bed."Shit."Crosshairs and Drift looked at the direction I was looking. Jayce made it in and is terrified. She had to have locked the door behind her for Bumblebee and Hound not to run in the long has she been standing there?

Crosshairs POV

We have no idea how long Jayce has been watching us, but I doubt she's been here for more than two minutes. Jayce is terrified at what she sees, and before I knew it, she fell to the floor. I sat on my knees and rested her head on my legs.

"Just take care of J.R.," I tell Cade. Even if Jayce's fainting spell turns out like J.R.'s, I can take care of her. I should take her back to her room, but I'm waiting for her to wake up in case she ends up like J.R.

Thankfully, this wasn't the case. Jayce woke up thirty seconds later.

"She's dying," Jayce mumbled.

"Can you concentrate on her energy?" I whispered. Jayce is doo terrified to concentrate. I can't stay here and find out either; I need to get Jayce out of here.I picked her up, exacting Jayce to put up a fight, but she didn' locked the door. Bee and Hound stood at the other end. They followed me upstairs to Jayce's room.

The room is quiet for five minutes; then I realized.

"So, no one's with Jamie?"

This also terrified Jayce, and she tried to break free from my grip. Sure enough, we see Jamie running by. Bumblebee and Hound run out of the room after her.

Does this mean J.R.'s energy is dropping? Should I let Jayce go back to the medbay?
