Johnnie is crying in Jake's arms suddenly as his mind is still wired on what happened with him.

Jake immediately notices Johnnie's tears and gently lifts his chin up."Hey hey, what's wrong?" He asked, his voice filled with concern as he held him close.

"I'm still not over it.." Johnnie covered his face, crying. "Carrington is in the fucking psych ward right now dude! He had jail time and now hes in a fucking mental hospital for killing people!"

Jake's heart sank as he heard Johnnie's words. He gently wrapped his arms around him tighter, pulling him closer."I know... I know it's hard... but you can't let it consume you. You have to try and move on."

Johnnie wiped his eyes, sniffling. "He killed my kidnappers Jake. He fucking shot them, i watched him."

Jake listened quietly as Johnnie spoke, his heart breaking at the pain in his voice. He gently rubbed his back, trying to provide some comfort.

"I know it was traumatic, Johnnie. You went through something incredibly scary. But you have to remember that Carrington was trying to protect you. He did what he had to do to keep you safe."

"Yeah and now he's in the damn psych ward.." Johnnie felt a panic attack coming on as he began to hyperventilate.

Jake noticed the panic attack and quickly moved to help him.
"Hey, hey, breathe with me, okay? Inhale... exhale... inhale..." He said softly, taking deep breaths to help Johnnie match his rhythm.

Johnnie is trying, but he can't seem to get a breath. He is tugging at his hair as he panics.

Jake gently takes Johnnie's hands in his own, stopping him from tugging at his hair.
"Johnnie, look at me. Look at me. You're going to be okay. Just focus on my voice, alright? Take deep breaths with me. In... out..."

Johnnie started to copy Jake's breathing as he shuts his eyes tightly. Before he suddenly got a flashback of his piercings being ripped out by those kidnappers. He lets out a scream as he pulled back, feeling his lip. Since he got ot repierced.

Jake's eyes widened in concern as Johnnie screamed and pulled away.

"Johnnie, it's okay, it's okay. You're safe now. Those people can't hurt you anymore," he said softly, trying to calm him down. "Your piercings are back, remember?"

Johnnie is crying, "I got tortured by them for an entire week, Jake! If they didn't call Carrington and demanded money or to show them my pain or whatever the fuck, i still would be getting tortured!!!"

Jake's heart broke even more as Johnnie spoke about the torture he endured. He held him tightly, tears forming in his own eyes.

"I know. I know it was awful. But you survived it. You're here with me now Johnnie, and you're safe. I promise you, no one is ever going to hurt you like that again. I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe."

Johnnie covered his face, crying. Before he slumped his body onto Jake, bawling.

Jake held Johnnie close as he cried, gently rubbing his back and whispering soothing words in his ear."Let it out. It's okay to cry. You've been through so much, and you're allowed to feel the pain and the fear. I'm here for you, always."
