Chapter 10: Not so bad

Jake's view (oohhhh! New POV!)

I sat at the police station with my hands folded in my lap.

It had been about a week and a half since Aiden and Gemstone fell, well...more like I pushed them…

When Stone found out about Gem being missing, he immediately came after me. Then he called the police, blaming me for 'taking away' his big sister. My friends then ratted me out. They were here to, but they pushed most of the blame on me.

I clenched my hands into fists. How come no one acted this way what Ella went missing? No one cared when SHE disappeared. I cursed Gem and Aiden silently to myself.

Officer Shade opened the door and behind him was Stone.

"Mr. Stone would like to speak with you Jake." He said before letting The 13 year old into the room.

Stone was tall and smart for his age. He had been able to skip to the same grade as me and his sister.

He had short brown hair that he used gel on, i was sure of it. He was fair, and had Icy blue eyes. Freckles dusted his nose. If i didn't know any better, i would think his sister's adopted.

"Can I ask why your here?" I snapped at him. He slams his hands down on the table.

"Why? Why did you push them?" He snarled at me, his blue eyes flaming.

I shook my shaggy brown hair into my eyes.

"Answer me!" He yelled, tears forming in his eyes.

"Why do you love her? She isn't even your full sister." I snapped back.

"Funny, your one to talk, what about your brother? Huh? He isnt your full sibling either!" He snarled back.

"Don't you dare speak about Frisk that way!" I snarled back, my Hazel eyes raging. That was true though...Frisk had been adopted when he was a baby into my family.

I crossed my arms and slumped back into my chair. Tears threatened to spill out of my eyes.

Stone took a breath and sat in the chair opposite to mine.

"I-i'm sorry...that was uncalled for…" He clasped his hands together on top of the desk. I glared at him.

We were silent for a few minutes.

"I pushed them because… I hated Gem, for something i should have dropped long ago." I finally say. Stone sat up his eyes wide.

"What do you mean? What happened!?" Stone's voice raised.

I look down at my hands.

"Ella and Gem were friends. And...The last thing Ella told me before she disappeared is she wanted to talk to Gem one last time. For the last two years...i keep thinking that Gem must've said something to her to make her disappear…I blamed her...but now...I-I-" My voice cracked, and I cut myself off.

Why was I here, spilling my emotions to the brother of the freak? Stone looked at me as if i had burst into flames.

I could see the gears in his head turn.

"Ella did stop by our house one day….Gem was off in the woods, hiding...Ella asked for her but when I told her she wasn't there, she asked for paper and wrote something for her...then she left. Gem refused to look at the paper. But she kept it." Stone rambled. I watched as he thought to himself. His blue eyes brightened.

"I have an offer." He crossed his arms and stood. I look up at him.

"What?" I ask.

"Let's find out why Ella disappeared. And in the meantime, we can try and find Gem and Aiden!" The excitement was clear in the thirteen year old eyes. If I say no, I'll probably be stuck in here, but if i say yes, Stone could convince them to let me out so i can help him.

He held out his hand. I thought for a moment before looking back up at him.

I reached up and shook his hand.

"Let's do this."

Hours later, Stone finally convinced Officer Shade that helping him was punishment enough for me. Because guilt and stuff. Officer Shade was just like, 'okay then' and shrugged.

This kid truly had a talent for this.

As we left the station Stone pulled out his phone and held it out to me.

"Put your number in." he told me as I hesitantly took the phone from him.

I looked down at it. The background on his phone was a picture of him and his sister.

He sat with a guitar in his arms, smiling brightly and appeared to be singing. His sister sat next to him at an electric keyboard, and also appeared to be singing. She looked different. She looked...carefree. Her short hair was pulled back into a stubby ponytail. She didn't wear a jacket. She wore a white t-shirt and light denim jeans. I could see scars on her wrists, the scars contrasting her tan skin. Her amber eyes were bright. She had a bracelet on, one that was much like the one Stone was wearing now.

I looked up at him, shock clearly written on my face.

"Yeah, i know...she's a lot different at home than in public. And even this...was a rare day." He told me, twisting the bracelet on his wrist.

I typed my number into his phone before giving it back to him.

We began to walk down the sidewalk.

"Sooooo…" I begin, trying to break the silence. "What song were you two singing in that picture?" I asked, looking at him.

He thought for a moment. He looked up at me, his icy blue eyes meeting my Hazel ones.

"King and Lionheart." he answered with a small smile. "It's a song about a sister and a brother...it's quite sad actually." He explained with a shrug before shoving his hands into the pocket of his brown jacket.

We walked in silence.

"Maybe you can show it to me sometime? Ya know since we'll be working together and all." I told him.

The corners of his mouth twitched upward slightly.

"Yeah...Maybe."

Lately when i think of this story….blank. Then i haz an ideas. REDEMPTION/CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT FOR JAAAAKKKKEEEE! ANNNDDD MOOOOREEE LITTLEEEE STOOOONEEEEE!

I like the idea of Stone and Jake eventually becoming friends. So here we are.

Here are the ages just to clear it up….

Gem- 15. She turned 15 a few days before falling into the underground.

Aiden-14 and 11 months, his birthday will be in the story.

Sans- What he appears/acts like- 16 or 17. Actual age- i dunno maybe like 124? Monsters age slowly, at least that's what i think because asgor is SUPER old.

Core- What she appears/ acts- 13 or 14 Actual age- 122

Stone- 13

Jake- 15

Gaster- appears/acts: 31, actually: 349

Anyways, as always, any tips or criticism is appreciated!
