Faded Memories

Chapter 47 Together

Cole's P.O.V

I sighed as I closed the door to Jay's room. I then made my way to the training area with everyone else.

"Guys...I'm sorry." Said Lloyd

I looked at him confused, "What are you apologizing for?" I asked

"If I would've just left you all alone none of this would be happening." Said Lloyd

"Lloyd none of this-" said Wu before Lloyd interrupted him

"No Uncle, let me finish."

We were all staring at him

"This is all my fault. If I would've just left you guys alone. You'd still be friends, Jay wouldn't be thinking about leaving, and more importantly, Jay wouldn't be broken." Said Lloyd as he held back a sob

"I was selfish to pull you guys away from your lives thinking that I could fix everything... I just wanted my family back. But in the process I broke everyone apart even more." Said Lloyd

Lloyd sighed before speaking again, "If you guys want to leave and return to your normal lives I understand. I'll try my best to help Jay out of this and convince him to stay. Then, I-I won't bother you anymore." Said Lloyd

At this point tears were streaming down his face. He put his head down and started to walk away... that is until Kai stopped him.

"Woh, where do you think you're going?" Asked Kai

Lloyd wiped some tears off his face before speaking.

"Away...I'm going to try and find a way to fix Jay." Said Lloyd

"Without us?" Questioned Zane

Lloyd look at us confused

"Yeah, there's no way you're doing this alone." Said Nya

"But... I ruined everything for you guys. Don't you hate me?" Asked Lloyd

I shook my head and put a hand on Lloyd's shoulder

"Lloyd, we could never hate you. Yeah, without you our lives would be normal, but normal is boring and I think I speak for everyone when I say our lives wouldn't be better without you. Ever since you've come back into our lives I've felt more complete. Before it always felt like something was missing. This was missing Lloyd, you were missing. What's going on right now May be difficult but we will get through it. Most importantly, we'll get through it together." I said with a smile

"Yeah Lloyd, we might have still been friends without you but it wouldn't have felt right. Don't ever doubt that." Said Kai

Lloyd began crying even more, until everyone decided to hug him.

"I love you guys." Whispered Lloyd

"We love you too Lloyd." Said Nya

After a few more moments of hugging we pulled away.

"So Lloyd, what's the plan to get Jay out of this funk?" Asked Kai

"I think we should all talk to him at first. See if anyone of us can get him to respond with anything else other than 'nobody'." Said Lloyd

"Who should go first?" I asked

Lloyd pondered for a second before speaking, "I think Nya should go first because of the bond they shared."

"Works for me! I'll let you guys know who it goes." Said Nya as she walked away

"And what if Nya can't get him to talk?" I asked

"We'll each try and if we don't make any progress then I'll get Wu involved." Said Lloyd

I nodded my head. Don't worry Jay, we'll help you get out of this funk.
