Jasper walked into the room and stopped at the sight of my tear stained face, and yet another helpless woodlouse. He raised an eyebrow and came over the couch.
"Um, are you okay?" He said tentatively, attempting to penetrate the bubble with his calming thoughts.
"No." I replied to his stupid question as bluntly as possible. His power was useless when outside the shield.
"Oh. Right. Well, is there anything I can do?" Without his powers, Jasper never seemed comfortable with consoling people, especially not depressed teenagers.
"Can you tell my Dad to get over his stupid paranoia and let him know that the longer I am kept in this stupid force field the more angry I get and the more likely I am to break it and defy him yet again?" I stopped for breath, damning my human qualities once more and continued with my rant, "I mean, this is not teaching me a lesson is it? No. Exactly. It's just STUPID. I am not learning anything! All I now know is that my father is a complete and utter hypocrite in many ways and that my mother really is quite besotted with previously stated father and will do just about anything for him, which then in turn makes her a hypocrite also."
"Yes, yes. I can indeed tell him that. But it won't do you any good, will it?" He looked at me with his scarily dark eyes, bounced up off the couch and walked right out of the room.
"Hey! HEY! You're just gonna leave me here?!"
