This is Jason's PoV of what happened to make them hate each other through the time he is alone with Tommy in the med bay. The 2nd part will be post very soon.

Disclaimer: I don't own any recognizable characters. Those belong to Disney I believe. I also don't own the song referenced in the title and in the story. That belongs to Nickelback. I do however own the 3 OCs that show up in this chapter so please don't take them without permission.

Warnings: Parts of this chapter deal with martial arts. I consulted a friend of mine who takes karate and she has assured me that the exchange between the OCs and Jason is respectful according to her. If it is incorrect, please feel free to tell me. I don't lik being disrespectful of anything. Other warnings include mentions of violence, slash and homosexuality. If any of these topics make you squeemish, then please leave.

Read, Review and Enjoy!

I'd Come for You

Jason PoV

Part 1

He looks so small hidden under all of those bandages,

like a little kid when you turn them into a TP mummy,

except he isn't like that for fun.

He's like that because of me.

Because I was so angry and upset and hurt

I nearly killed the one person who's ever seen

the loving side to me

just because of a misunderstanding.

Looking back now it seems so ridiculous.

A simple misunderstanding that snowballed into a full-blown catastrophe,

A simple sentence that rocked my world and vaporized his.

It's not like I'm in love with him

Who knew that simple overheard sentence could bring about the

end of the greatest love either of us had ever known.

The look on his face when I turned around told me

I should have known.

I knew Tommy was incredibly insecure being in any kind of relationship,

especially after the infamous Letter and his fucked up childhood,

but I could never have imagined that all it would take

is a simple sentence to disintegrate his simple security.

I opened my mouth to explain,

to try and say it wasn't about him,

which it really wasn't,

but he took off,

running out of our apartment

as though Rita had just asked him to marry her.

I just stood there,

Frozen as my heart shattered at his expression forever branded into my mind.

I went to the dojo later,

Hoping beyond hope that he would be there.

He wasn't.

I taught all of our classes that day,

even though it was our day off.

I told the other instructors to go home,

spend time with their families.

I didn't tell them I had just annihilated mine.

The students must have noticed,

always so bright and intuitive,

because I know they were taking it easy on me.

As I finished up for the night,

3 of the older students approached me,

wanting to talk.

Frank and David showered me in concern

while Jason spoke.

Before you ask yes it did get confusing during class somedays.

"Is everything ok, Sensei? You don't seem to be all here."

He took a moment to look around before continuing,

his next words keeping my heart in pieces.

"I don't see Tommy around. Did something happen to him?"

It took all of my strength not to breakdown right then.

"Tommy won't be teaching for a while."

3 sets of wounded puppy eyes stared back at me,

and made me feel even guiltier

to know that I was the cause.

When they first came to us,

the boys were ridiculed for being gay.

It had gotten so bad

that they either could take a martial arts class

and learn to manage their anger

or be expelled from school.

When Tommy heard this, he made them his special project.

They had grown close over the years

and Tommy was like an older brother to them.

"What happened?"

David calmly forced out.

He was the worst one out of the group

and he had still scared me.

I considered lying to them,

but the looks I was slowly receiving

told me that was not a wise idea,

so I told them the truth,

sparing no details.

When I finished,

They had gone from slowly becoming angry

to sympathetic.

For who I could not tell,

But I had secretly hoped it was for Tommy.

I may have been the one wronged,

But I already blamed myself and Tommy deserved someone on his side.

They told me it would be alright,

That a love like mine and Tommy's couldn't be broken so easily

And that it would work itself out.

I wish they had been right.

Jason and Frank each gave me a bruising hug

while David gave me a reassuring shoulder squeeze.

That had sent a pang of misery and pain through my being.

Tommy always did that for anyone he saw was having a really bad day.

The jingling of the bell pierced the quiet as they left,

Leaving me with growing darkness and my thoughts.

I hope you enjoyed it! Please review!
