Spicer Mansion, June 25, 9:00pm, getting back from the showdown.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Excellent!!" Wuya hissed as they entered the mansion once again, "Our 2nd victory in a row!!"

'Yeah, you're right." Jack nodded, almost with no emotion.

''HA!" Violet scoffed,' I did all the work, Jack!!" She teased. Jack turned to her, hissing in a flirtatious tone,"Just admit it, you're nothing with out me..''

Violet put a hand on her hip and began speaking in a mocking voice, ''I'm nothing with out, Jack Spicer." She hissed his name, which only gave him goosebumps all threw his body.

Wait, Jack said, stopping in his tracks, she just totally put me down at the showdown!... Now she's acting like nothing happened. I have to just, go work on some new robots for a bit.

Jack walked up to his workshop, starting to work on his robots.

Violet's heart almost sank at sulking Jack, pulling down his goggles from afar, and then turning on a welding torch. He had totally just stopped flirting wiht her to go work on robots.. and he didn't even say anything. Violet was going towards the gym when she stopped in her tracks, What the HELL Violet?? Does EVERYTHING have to be about training all the time? Loosen up, that WAS quite the work out with the monks. She nodded to herself, glancing at Jack one last time, who seemed to notice, for he lifted his head, and all Violet could do was let out a fake half smile and look him up and down with her hurt eyes. She knew what was going on, but only decided to give him some peace, let his mind go threw boy things and all she was going to do was lay on the couch, watch TV, and blast her music for a bit. The tunes filled her head, going threw one ear and also entering threw the other. She shut her eyes, and the only thing on after that, was her ipod, as Violet drifted into a well deserved sleep.

12:00am...

Violet shot up from the big velvet couch, looking around for Jack, all the lights and the TV was off. She rubbed her eyes and extended her arms to her side outwards, stretching. From the corner of her eye, a flickering light caught her attention, she turned her head to the left. It was Jack's basement stair way, he must have been still working down there. Violet sighed, "Jack," Her scratchy voice said, "We need to talk..."

Violet made her way downstairs, her eyes adjusting to the light. Jack wasn't facing the door this time, but the opposite. Violet was coming up behind him when he stopped welding, "I turned off everything up there in case you wanted to sleep there or something.." Jack said, and began welding again. Violet was about ten feet away, but she walked up right beside him, "Thanks," She said quietly. "Jack???"

Jack sighed, "What?.. Can't you see I'm a bit busy, here??"

Violet's eyebrows raised, but then lowered as she held her temper in, "Yes," She said in a 'this is me, forced to be nice' kind of tone. "I can see that." She looked over at all the robot's he had repaired and made.

"It's just," she continued, talking over the welding, "I want to talk about earlier." Jack, stopping the welder for the first time, still not taking off his goggles sharply said, "There's nothing TO talk about, I now understand that you don't want to have any relation ship with me, and thats-"

"No!!!" Violet said loudly, "That's not-"

Jack scoffed and almost began welding again, but Violet talked again, this time, not gentle any more, but stern, "Jack," She starred at him, "We need to talk.."

He turned his welder at pointed to his ear, giving an evil smirk, "WHAT?!!'' she screamed, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THIS WELDER!!!!" He had his free hand point to the welder. Violet glarred, walking away. Jack smirked to himself, "You're so evil...'' Violet turned around from walking about five feet behind him and whispered to herself, "I can fix that..."

She ran up to his side, kicking the welder up into the air, Jack looked up, and then to his right to see Violet leaping at her, causing him to fly backward into a large chair. She came up close to him, pointing her index finger up close to his nose, he felt the heat coming off her finger. "We're going to talk." She said between clenched teeth. Jack gulped quietly, nodding his head with wide eyes. "Good." She said gently, removing her index finger from his personal space, then catching the welder that had been tossed up. "Boys.." She scoffed quietly, walking in the other direction, Jack getting up to fallow. Violet gave Jack the welder. Jack placed the welder in the place it was suppose to be, making his way to Violet, who had crossed arms, expecting answers. FULL answers.

Jack sighed, "Well," He was walking closer and closer to Violet from putting the welder back, "It's just that, the feeling, and all the stuff we've done, and you still don't concider us at least SOMETHING? And, I will admit, seeing Rai on top of you made me a little jealous..."

Violet laughed a bit, "Yeah, I noticed that... But, I mean, I DO concider us SOMETHING, but it's just, maybe we should wait a bit, I don't get that girlfriend/boyfriend vibe yet...and, I understand the pressure part.." She walked closer to him, grabbing his hands, "Is that why you where ignoring me and shit??"

Jack lowered his head in shame, "Yeaaahhh..." He whined, "But, I'm not used to having a girl that I like around here.. so I'm very inexperienced..."

"Ahh" Violet said, "Understandable." She hugged him tightly, showing that she really did care,"Now, I want you to get some rest, okay??" and kissed him on his soft pale cheek. "Good night.." She whispered in his ear, walking up to her room.

Jack stood in the same possison, letting a tear run down his soft, pale cheek. He lifted his hand to the cheek that had just been so beautifully kissed, and all he could do is whipser back, "Good night..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later that night...

"Wake up!!" Jack heard Violet saying loudly, shaking him. "Jack! Wake up!!" He opened his tired eyes, seeing Violet over him with a scared look on her face.

"Jack," She began, "You where sleep talking really loudly, and then you began screaming at the top of your lungs and screaming 'HELP!'..." She was all out of air.

Jack rubbed his eyes. "It almost gave me a fucking heart attack!!" Violet laughed a bit, "You.. okay??"

Jack nodded, "Yup, I'm fine.." He sighed, pulling up the blankets a bit, Obviously uncomfortable with his pajamas, "Thanks Violet..." he grabbed the hand that was placed beside him as it softly began stroking his.

"It's okay Jackie..." Jack's stomach dropped as he heared his mother's voice once again, "NO!"Jack squirmed, his eyes shot open to see Violet's eyes wide as well, watching what was going on.

Jack starred at her, "What did you just call me????..."

Violet stood up, "Jack... I called you Jack."

Jack nodded his head to himself, looking down at his lap again, letting out a laugh to try to make Violet think he was okay, but he was unsucessful.

Violet sat down beside him, "Tell me what's wrong..." She grabbed his hand, stroking it gently again.

He sighed, "I've just been really stressed lately..." He lowered his head.

Violet nodded, lowering his head too, showing that she was still listening, "How so?.. If you don't mind me asking??...

"No, not at all..." He said, "It's just, It's just the fact you've been so supportive, like, you care about what I think, and about what I do, and my parent.. Oh, my parents..."

Violet continued rubbing his hand, "You're parents..?" She asked, "You're parents what, Jack?"

Jack looked up to her, "I probably sound like a real baby, but..."

Violet shook her head, "No, you absolutly do not. Holding the feelings inside is the cowardly thing to do...you're being brave here, Jack."

Jack nodded, "My parents, they're never here, I've spent probably about only half of my life with them so far, and I forget half of the half because I was a baby for most of it!! And they think I'm doing no bad for this world, call me a failure to my face, are dissapointed in me, and don't show me any sign that they like me. They laugh in my face everytime I need support and.." Jack sighed, "You. You've been so great, and it's just like.. wow. Just like, lately, I've never felt so great."

Violet looked into his crimson eyes as he layed down again. She glanced at his digital clock, 1:23am, before joining Jack, exhasted from the large mouthful he had just expressed so quickly, and layed her self over stop of him, placing her head on his chest. "Well, Jack, You're worth more than you think you are. WAY more. Just don't let people bring you down."

"I don't.." Violet felt his chest hum as he talked, "At least, not any more.. I mean, at first, it got to me, but now, I just ignore them. I'd cry myself to sleep every night, but now, it's just like... I'm numb to the pain now..."

Silence rung the room for what felt to be eternity, but soon after, Violet heard a few drops on the bed. Jack didn't bother wipe his tears, Violet didn't look up, just to save the awkwardness. She only brought the covers over the both of them as Jack wrapped his arms around her. "Don't worry," She whispered gently, listening to his heart beat getting calmer, "I can make you comfortably numb." Soon, they where both in a deep slumber, and for the first time in a long time, Jack didn't have a nightmare, but dreamed to be up in heaven, with arms wrapped around an angel.
