Your Eyes Don't Lie.

Chapter Three: Argumental.

"Oh, come on Jay! Don't just ignore me!" Nya exclaimed waving her arms about at her boyfriend.

Jay and Nya were arguing. It's not the first time either.

The teen growled and turned away. He didn't WANT to speak to her anymore. She was making things worse, at least in his eyes. Nya had changed. She wasn't so pure and innocent anymore.

"Jay! What is wrong with you! We had that argument at least a month ago! You can't possibly still be mad at me!" She said.

She was wrong. Jay was still mad at her. The two relationship was going downhill. They finally got together. They were happy, but now. Now look at them.

Jay refused to say anything to her. At least at the moment.

"Jay please," Nya begged. "Don't still be mad at me. What's wrong?"

Jay growled. "Nothing. I'm fine." He quickly said.

"Stop lying to me!" Nya yelled.

Nya's boyfriend turned his head to her. "Fine. It's you. You're making me mad. You're not the same anymore Nya! You've changed!"

Nya frowned. "I've changed? Look at yourself! You're acting like an asshole!"

Jay mumbled curse words to himself.

Nya clenched her fists. "Don't tell me I've changed when clearly you have! You're not the same!"

Jay inhaled a deep breath. He then let go of it all, trying to blow away his anger with air.

Nya stared at him in disgust and disbelief.

"Why are you still WITH me then?" Jay asked.

"..." Nya frowned. She then growled and stormed off.

Jay watched in silence. He waited for the door the slam behind her, in which it did. He then climbed onto his bed, and dug his face into his pillow and screamed.

Jay and Nya always argued. It was starting to stress Jay out.

Nya stormed off down the hall, bumping into her brother on the way.

"Woah," Kai said taking a step back. "What's up water lily?"

"Don't call me that!" She said through gritted teeth.

Kai took a step back. "Wow. Chill."

"Why don't you go tell JAY to chill!" She almost yelled she ran past her brother and into her room.

Kai stood in the hallway completely confused.

No one has ever heard them argue.

No one.

Kai mumbled something to himself. He went to check on Jay.

He walked into the room he shares with the other ninja. "Jay?" He called out.

Jay was lying on his bed. Pounding his head into his pillow.

Kai watched for a few seconds. "Jay? Buddy?"

Jay kept pounding his head into his pillow repeatedly. Kai frowned and went to go grab one of the others.

He ran into the living room. "Guys. I think Jay is possessed or something."

Zane raised his eyebrows. "What?"

Lloyd snickered. "Cole's not a ghost anymore idiot. That's not possible."

Cole chuckled. "Technically. I can change from both,but it's not me."

Kai groaned. "NOOO. He's smashing his head into his pillow repeatedly!"

They all exchanged looks. Worried looks.

"Take us to him," Lloyd said standing up.

"Follow me." Kai lead them into the bedroom. "Look."

Jay was still pounding his head into the pillow.

They all watched in silence.

"Oh my," Zane looked over at Kai. "You just found him like this?"

"Yeah, after Nya told me to tell him to 'Chill'" Kai mumbled.

Cole frowned. 'Nya came from this way?' He thought to himself.

Lloyd snickered. "Just get him to stop."

"He ignored me," Kai said with a shrug.

Everyone went silent again.

Cole sighed. "Jay."

Jay stopped.

Kai looked over at Cole. He had a serious look on his face. "How did you do that?"

Cole just frowned.

Lloyd and Zane exchanged worried looks. Cole sighed. He walked up to Jay's bed and climbed onto it. Jay rolled over onto his back. "What?" He asked, his voice slightly cracking.

Cole was sitting on the end of his bed. He glanced at the others and gestured for them to leave. They all hesitated but did so.

Once the door shut, Cole offered Jay his hand. Jay slowly took it and Cole pulled him up so Jay was sitting.

"Alright. What's wrong?" He asked.

Jay shook his head. He didn't want to say.

Cole watched the bottom of Jay's eyes puff up. He knew what that meant. Cole let out a deep breath. "Hey. Remember. I'm here to listen to you."

Jay shook his head again.

Cole didn't want Jay to cry. He couldn't bare to see that.

Jay just kept shaking his head. "It's all my fault..."

'It's all my fault.' Cole repeated in his head. "What? What is your fault?"

Jay's voice cracked as he spoke. "Everything. I messed up."

"Messed up what?" Cole asked inching closer to Jay.

"..." Jay shook his head.

"I don't think you messed up anything," Cole said gently.

Jay glanced up at him. "You don't even know what I'm on about."

"No, you're right I don't. I'm guessing it has something to do with Nya though. Right?"

Jay nodded slowly.

"Did you get into an argument?" Cole asked.

Jay nodded once again, "Yes." Jay sniffed. "We argued about something personal and then I started ignoring her."

"Did she take it too far?" He tilted his head sideways.

Jay nodded. "Yeah. She said some mean things. I just...ugh."

"You just?" Cole urged.

"Argh! I jut didn't want to talk about WHY I'm being so MOODY!" He almost yelled.

Cole nodded. "Will you tell me?"

Jay stared at Cole. He sighed. "No. I'm fine."

"...No, you're not." Cole said.

Jay growled. "I'm fine!"

"Stop lying to me!" Cole grabbed both of Jay's wrists and pulled him towards him. "Listen to me. You are not fine. You keep lying to me. Why?"

Jay gulped. "Why do you care so much?"

"I'm your best friend! Why wouldn't I!?" Cole was so close to yelling. "I'm trying to help you and you keep pushing me away!"

"It's because I'm fine!" Jay yelled.

"No, you're not! Your eyes don't lie Jay! I can see right through them! I can see right through YOU. You're hurting! I can see that!" Cole let go of Jay's wrist after yelling that at him.

Jay slowly pushed himself away from Cole. They both sat in silence.

"I can see your pain." Cole mumbled.

Jay just stared at Cole. ".."

"Look. Jay. Stop pushing everyone away. We're here to help you. I got you."

"And...you got me." Jay said. Giving Cole a tiny smile.

Both of them smile at each other for a little.

"C-Can I have a hug? I really need one." Jay asked, his face glowing pink.

"Fine." Cole opened his arms up.

Jay accepted his hug. It just felt right.

Cole sighed happily. "Jay. I-"

"GUYS!" Kai ran into the room.

Both of them jumped. "AH!"

"Oops sorry." Kai snickered. "BUT GUYS! COME HERE!"

Cole groaned and jumped off of Jay's bed. "What?"

Jay followed Cole.

"Looooook!" Kai held up a new game.

Cole groaned. "Boy! I was having a moment!"

Kai laughed. "LET'S GO PLAY!" Kai grabbed Cole's wrist and dragged him out of the room. Jay ran after then.

What a turn of events.
