I came out after my shower feeling 99.9 % better. Being dry dose the body good. I came out to find everyone still sitting in the living room. I looked around, they were my own little version of a messed up family. Casey and Gordon snuggled on a chair, Jason Nick Jesse and Charlie were sprawled on the couch, I have no idea how they all fit. I entered the living room sitting down on the arm of the couch.
"So what are we up to?" I asked.
"Wondering when you were gracing us with your presence princess." Nick said. It was a major inside joke that I spent too much time in the bathroom.
"Funny," I said throwing a pillow at him.
"So what happened?" Casey asked sitting up and looking at me.
I explained the whole thing, which is quite a mouthful. "And then Julie found me and about an hour or two later these guys showed up." I finished off.
"What did Julie and you do for an hour or two." Nick asked, and I did not appreciate the smirk on his face.
"Oh, we found a way to pass the time," I said casually not really wanting to fess up to dancing in the rain. A chorus of Ohhhh followed. "What happened on this end?"
"Around five when Gordon got home I started to worry. So Gordon and Jason were going to go look for you, but had no idea where to start looking."
"So then I said I'd come," Charlie added. "But that would leave my Mother, who was at the time having a complete heart attack, home alone. So I said I'd stay,"
"Which once again left us with no idea where to go," Jason said rubbing his hands together.
"I just happened to come over and before I knew it I was in car with those two, being told you'd disappeared or was abducted by aliens or something." Jesse said. I laughed a little, at least it kind of made sense, a little in it's own weird way. I looked at Nick, the only person not accounted for, "Well they called and asked the last time I saw you, I said school and then got off the phone. About twenty minutes later I realized that meant they didn't know where you were. Which sent me into asthma attack, so my Dad drove me over here and I waited with Charlie and Mrs. Bomb." Nick filled using a British accent. He was famous for his accents. "You gotta stop this man, I'm getting gray hair." He said, the joking in his voice gone.
"Aww," I said giving him a little awkward hug, "You really love me."
"Sure thing Princess," He said back ruining a potential Kodak moment.
Bombay's POV
Just about everything had calmed down by eight. Adam seemed to be perfectly fine and now that Casey had chilled the whole house had mellowed. Nick and Jesse headed home and Charlie, gasp, was actually doing some homework. I looked over at Jason, he was sitting on the couch, bundled up with a blanket. He was pretending to read a novel, but hadn't flipped the page in about ten minutes. So it was obvious something was wrong. But what?
I knew very little about the older Banks boy. I knew he was a great older brother and that Adam and Nick were crazy about him, but outside of that is was all blank. He studied the young man; he looked tired, maybe even like he'd lost weight. His hair was sticking up all over the place.
"I'm heading to bed, nobody freak out," Adam said jokingly as he headed back towards his bedroom. We all knew he wasn't going to sleep yet, Adam just liked to go to his room for a while be by himself for a few hours before bed, a habit I had picked up. It was nice having some time to unwind, just you and your thoughts.
"Me too," Jason said heading back, the brothers exchanged whispers in the hallway before gong to there separate rooms. I sat there for quite a while just thinking, about Jason. Irritated at how little I knew I decided to go remedy the problem.
I knocked at the makeshift guest bedroom/office door.
"Come in," Jason said. I came in he looked vaguely surprised to see me. "Hi Gordon, I though you were Adam," He sat up putting a marker in his book.
"Sorry,"
"That's fine, what do ya need?"
"Just wanted to talk to you. You seemed out of it tonight." He nodded giving that distant look I'd seen on Adam's face before. "Thought you might like someone to talk to," He shrugged looking down at his comforter.
"I'm fine I just got a little tense, with all this Adam stuff." I nodded sitting down across from him.
"How are you?" I asked trying to see if I could possibly get anymore. I'd learned a little with Adam, the more you push the less they tell, but sometimes you can get them to open up with a little gentle guiding.
I felt bad the moment his eyes filled with tears. Where was Jason's new legal guardian who was suppose to get him through this? He sniffled trying to make the tears stop. What to do? I asked myself but unfortunately didn't know the answer.
"I'm not very good," He admitted smiling at little through the tears. "I don't know what to do. I've practically failed out of college, I don't have a Nick to stick by me, I lost all my friends. They just don't know what to say. I inherited my Fathers company, and I don't know what to do with it, and everybody keeps asking me. And my little brother went off the deep end and now I don't know whether I should trust him too peal an apple. You don't peel apples do you."He paused looking at me confused.
"I don't think so, but I get what you mean." I said smiling at him, trying to figure out someway to make it all better.
"Some days he's like Adam from two years ago, then someday he wakes up and decided to drive into oncoming traffic, and I don't know how to help because half the time I wouldn't mind driving off a cliff." A knock at the door saved me from having to think of something to answer that with. "Yeah," He yelled his voice weak.
The door opened, I wasn't at all surprised to see Adam, standing there looking worried, that's funny how they worry each other to death. He looked at me before coming in and joining us on the bed. He leaned in and gave his brother the hug he needed, the one I couldn't give him. I don't know him that well.
"I'm sorry Jason," Adam said, he sounded so guilty.
"It's not your fault," I said trying to sooth Adam. He nodded but I don't think he was convinced.
"I just worry about you shrimp," Jason said still holding on to him.
"I know, I don't mean to make ya'll so crazy, it just happens. But I was apologizing for being so wrapped up in my own misery to not be able to see yours."
"Me too," I said smiling. They needed each other.
"It's fine," He said dismissing it with a hand wave.
"I know it doesn't seem like it but I am doing better, I mean I sleep at night I' hungry again I'm doing better in school. I can concentrate on my work. Maybe my driving skills still aren't the best," He said joking slightly, "But I am better, I just still seem to keep screwing up every six seconds,"
For some reason this caused a new flood of tears. "I want to be better too," He said quietly. I looked at the two boys, same eyes, same build, same pain. Adam looked at me for help.
"We'll get you help then," I replied calmly, not really knowing what else to say. He nodded looking at me. He believed me, he needed someone to lean on. If I could take on Charlie, and then Adam what was one more emotionally scared kid? Just please god no more!
Soo???? How was it? I don't think it was me at my best but it'll have to do! Leave a review! Rachel
