AN: Already quite the departure from the original writing, Lets get at 'er folks!
Holt was still reeling from the information Frankie gave before she left, he almost regretted sending her off so soon because he knew so little but he got the rest from Heath afterwards. So with Deuce and Heath to keep him company he waited anxiously for his...twin? friend? head mate? to wake up. "Are you ok Holt?" Deuce broke the several minutes long silence that had settled after Frankies departure.
"What do you think? We don't know what's happening! I-" He cut himself off before he could start laying into his friend that was just trying to be there for him. "Look, shit, I'm sorry. I'm not ok, We don't know what's happening to Jackson. We don't know anything and I'm worried." Heath hugged his cousin, albeit a bit awkwardly before a buzz from his phone cut off the conversation.
"Sorry guys I'll be back..." He answered the phone as he made his way out. "Hey Abbey, I'm not sure..one sec," Heath looked back in Holts direction. "I'm gonna get Howleen and Gigi and see Abbey, see if we can figure out any thing ok?" Holt nodded and Heath closed the door behind him.
Deuce stretched his legs out, leaning back in his chair, "Do you think they can help dude?" He asked. At that moment the nurse decided to send the boys out for lunch, with a promise they could return later. Holt looked like he would protest but held his tongue as he followed Deuce into the hall.
"I'm not sure Deuce, but it's all we've got. The nurse is doing her best but she doesn't know what to do! I'm gonna kill Frankie and Howleen. This is such a fucking mess, what if something is wrong with me? and we don't know it yet?" Holt bit out, trying his best to control his anger, without another a word they set off in search of Heath and Abbey.
Deuce split off to find Cleo once Holt had met up with the girls and Heath, Holt tried his best to bite back his anger upon seeing Howleen and Gigi, but like a volcano it came out anyways. "What the hell were you thinking?! Messing with us like that? What the fuck Howleen? I thought you were supposed to be smart!" Howleen flinched away from him. Gigi went interject as Heath put an arm on Holts shoulder.
"I get that you're angry, but if you stopped we could help you." Gigi replied smoothly giving Howleens hand a quick squeeze. Holt took a deep breath and nodded for them to speak.
"Ok, Holt, you need to understand this wasn't my wish. I wished it but Frankie...she told me that Jackson wanted it and he was too nervous to ask for himself. I thought you guys wanted it or I never would have done it." Howleen managed to choke out, on the verge of tears but Holt ignored her and turned to face Gigi.
"Gigi, I'm not angry anymore, I'm sorry. I'm sure you understand where I was coming from though." Gigi and Howleen nodded, although they both still looked uncomfortable. "Do you know if Jackson will be ok? Have you ever done this before?"
"Well, I honestly have not separated two people myself before, however I know others who have." Gigi paused a moment, considering something. "Jackson should be ok, provided he isn't fully Normie I think." Holt looked dejected, they joined Abbey at the library to talk things over a bit further.
Holt didn't really process much else during the day, going along in a daze. Hoping his..whatever Jackson was to him was ok. By the end of the day he was restless as he headed back towards the nurses office. He opened the door and met Jackson head on. "J-Jackson! You, you're ok!" Holt crushed his other half into a hug. "You aren't really a Normie are you? Fuck I was worried about you." Holt was rambling much to Jacksons amusement.
"No, I'm partially a fire elemental, which makes sense. The nurse and I think the Monster side of me was locked inside of you all this time so I couldn't access it." Jackson explained, the pair walked towards their locker exchanging the information they knew about their new situation along the way.
"Was this what you really wanted Jackson?" Holt asked as they left the school, neither quite ready to go home but having nothing better to do.
"I mean, yeah, if you were ok with it. I wanted to be separated, but not like this. I feel...violated somehow." Jackson was pissed and hurt, he just didn't want to believe someone he cared about could put them in danger this way. "I can't believe she would do this, it's so selfish!" Holt gave him a quick hug.
"I know, but just take a breath, we gotta get home." They exchanged a look,knowing the conversation with their mother wouldn't be particularly fun.
