After y/n got changed that started playing chess. They were all very competitive with each other normally..but Isaac couldn't get today off his mind. He didn't understand why he cared so much about her...it was different...he couldn't tell if he liked it or not..

After awhile they all became tired, and decided it was time for bed. Isaac noticed that it was really nice, and peaceful today....that's weird...where's his mom? She hasn't came back..

Laughing Jack places them both on Isaacs bed, saying goodnight. After the lights were flicked off Isaac checked to make sure y/n was still asleep or not. Only for him to be eye to eye with her. He blushed out of embarrassment

"I'm so sorry for staring at you!! I was just checking to see if you were sleeping or not!!" The girl laughed a bit, and told him it was fine. After eventually calming down he decided it was now or never..

"Hey y/n...."

"Yeah? What's up??" She sensed his nervousness, and decided to respond in a calming matter instead of a confused one.

He sighed anxiously

"Listen...I'm so sorry...about earlier today, when I yelled at you...when you didn't have any where to hide...I told you to find your own hiding spot...which led you to the pond.."

"It's okay! Seriously I'm not mad at you or anything! So there's nothing to be worried about." She tried her best to reassure him all was good, but he did not care for that.

"That's not the point...listen I don't apologize often..! So..I truly mean it when I say I'm sorry...so please except or decline my apology..! I want you to pick a punishment for me..!" The girl was awestruck, and worried about him all at the same time..

"A punishment....? Isaac that's kinda extreme..." the boy started leaning up while holding on to her shoulders. The girl gasped once she realized he was crying..

"Isaac! What's wrong..??" Her eyes held no form of malice, hatred, or disgust in her eyes. She was concerned about him...this made him cry even harder, and he hated himself for it..he hated crying in front of people..but he just couldn't help it. The girl held him close, and comforted the boy who was choking on his tears.

He started squeezing her sleeves on her shirt. Well it was his shirt, but for now it's not.

He had difficulty breathing just holding on for dear life.

I guess Laughing Jack must have sensed it, and came to check. He was surprised to see his two best friends in a state of dread, and panic.

Isaac tried hiding his face from Jacks, but it was all ready far too late. He'd all ready seen him crying. This was it...they'll make fun of him, and leave him behind...then they'll start to make fun of him for crying, and being weak..

However non of that ever came, in fact another embrace, and arms wrapping around his body tightly, and securely made him realize that he truly had friends...ones that'll stay with him.....

"It's okay Isaac...calm down kiddo.." after hearing that he let go of y/n while turning his body around, and hugged Jack instead. Jack went to pull y/n into the hug too, since she looked very concerned for her best friend.

After awhile of back rubs, and reassuring words they ended up drifting to sleep.

Laughing Jack sighed a breath of relief. Until he heard the front door click..it was his mother probably..but even so, his mother made him quite anxious, and he didn't appreciate how nervous he made his best friend.

After the ruckus was all cleared up, and he heard Isaac's mom out her stuff away, and lay down for bed. He relaxed once more making sure none of the kids were up. One of them was...

"Y/n what are you doing up..?" He stated in a hushed voice, as to not wake up Isaac

"I'm worried about Isaac...I wanted clarification that he would be okay.." the rainbow clown smiled gently at her.

"Yes.. he's quite alright..he's just dealing with a lot." The young girl smiled at him a tad, making the clown snicker a bit

"Y/n thank you.." the girl tilted her head confused by the sudden praise

"For trying to calm him down earlier..for not leaving him..." the clown continued. The girl looked surprised, clearly off guard. The clown chuckled a bit at her expression.

"Of course..I care a lot about Isaac a lot...I want what's best for him.." the clown chuckled again, but this time he was surprised. The girl chuckled at his expression this time, the clown laughed a bit, and shook his head. Staring up at the ceiling.

"....Me too..."

Ever since that day they've all form an even closer bond than before. Now that they've spent over a few years with each other, but happiness doesn't last forever...........there teenagers now..laughing Jack has seen them grow a bit...but...a new neighbor moved in......they had a pet cat.

And this is where it truly begins...
