Chapter 9:Show me were scars lie beneath the surface

The team was at Hayley's, Kira and Conner were trying to work on schoolwork, Jay was reading a book, and Ethan was repeatedly shouting at his game.

"Oh, no you didn't,"Ethan protested to his computer,"Eat laser you intergalactic freak!"

Jay closed his book and began to lightly hit his forehead with it.

"Dude, do you mind,"Conner asked Ethan, who just ignored him.

"Made it to level twelve,"Ethan cheered.

Conner locked eyes with Jay who simply said,"Please."

He nodded, leaned over, and shut off Ethan's laptop.

"Hey,"Ethan protested,"What are you doing?"

"I can't concentrate with you blowing up things in my ear,"Conner explained.

"But it took me three hours to get to that level."

"Sorry, but I'm with Conner on this one,"Kira added,"We got a paper due tomorrow and why aren't you working on yours?"

"Finished it last week,"Ethan answered,"Trent and I jammed on it while you guys were out beeing David Beckham and --"

"Don't even say it,"Kira cut him off.

"Wasn't going to,"Ethan responded carefully.

"Where's Trent, anyway,"She asked,"I thought he was working today."

"Hayley gave him the day off,"Jay answered.

"I think he's probably spending a little quality time with his dad,"Conner added, looking at Jay,"You feeling better?"

"I'll be fine,"He responded simply,"If I survive hurricane Hayley, that is."

"She does seem really protective,"Kira said.

"Yeah, why is that,"Conner asked.

"A bit of a personal story,"Jay answered, his posture straightening amd his prior relaxed attitude hardening as memories started flashing behind his eyes.

"It's just that you never tell us about your past, really,"Conner continued,"OTher than you're Dr.O's son, but even then you don't really act like it."

"I beg your pardon,"Jay growled.

"Maybe we drop it,"Kira suggested, shooting Conner a glare after noticing how tense Jay had gotten.

"Come on, you can't tell me you're not curious,"Conner told her,"Trent is off spending time with his father.When was the last time you saw Jay do that?Or Dr.O eve acknowledge him like a son, for that matter?"

"I'll take that as my invitation to leave,"Jay rose from his chair, his voice eerily flat.

"Conner,"Kira scolded as Jay walked away,"What were yu thinking?It's obvious that he's uncomfortable about that."

"I'm with her on this one, bro,"Ethan added,"That was seriously messed up."

"You want to know as much as I do,"Conner defended himself,"Seriously, though, when was the last time you saw Jay even touch another human being without it being necessary?"

Kira was too angry to generate words and Ethan was back at his game,so Hayley decided to make herself known.

"It's impolite to gossip about somebody, you know,"She asked.

"You know Jay better than any of us,"Conner started, still fixated on finding an answer,"What's the story with him and Dr.O.?"

"That's not my story to tell, but there's a reason he keeps his past a secret and I suspect he'll tell you when he's ready.Until then, it's best to drop it,"Hayley responded, turning on her heel and walked away.
