The Two Sons

Chapter 8: Goodbye

All night the whole discussion Richard and I got into earlier plays in my head, over and over.

Each time, the one thing that was sticking out the most was how Richard never finished what he was going to say, and what the Jason from This damintion has done.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I try to attach the wire to the circuit drive. But everytime, there's a small spark. Thankfully not bad enough to cause a fire.

"Grrr! Why can't I do This!" I growl to myself. "I can make a damn spy cam work from stupid scrapped and wet phone, but I can't get This wire to attach to the damn circuit drive? This is so not whelming!" I drop the scraps and Just lay down. "Why am I not getting This to work?" I ask myself.

I lay here For possibly ten minutes, thinking of ways that I can get This thing to work.

"Why on earth is the damn thing sparking and not connecting?" I ask myself. Then I start to think of the type of metal I am using. "That's it!" I let out and go to my drawer and pull out some aluminum pieces. "Its not going to last after the device is set off but we only need to use it once."

I stop and realize that I am talking to Just myself. Which now I feel completely dumb For doing now.

But no one is around so I don't feel completely dumb.

I get the wire to connect and not cause a spark. "Now, what I need is some sort of power source, besides batteries." I state to myself. "Something we won't be able to use twice, that way the Jason here and the Jason from here don't switch again." Then I remember one of the science projects in class. "I need lemons."

I get up and quietly make my way to the kitchen, where Alfred leaves lemons in the fridge.

When I get down there and check the fridge, there's no more lemons. But yet there is ginger ale and apples on the counter.

"Even better." I state as I grave a bowl, some ginger ale, and a few apples. "Now I need one of those extra phone chargers from the old cell phones." I sneak into the junk drawer and find about three of them, but I only need one. So I take the nicer looking one and quietly make my way back up to my room.

"What are you doing?" Jasons voice asks from behind me.

"Getting supplies to make sure that the device works once and only once." I answer.

"Richard look, I don't know what your Jason did, but I don't want to do what he did. I Just want things to be normal here. I mean, here I feel like I belong." He tries to explain.

"You don't belong here. Even when you feel like you do, you don't." I spit.

"Ouch." Is his response. "Well I guess I struck a nerve earlier, struck it badly that you never want to see me again." He adds.

"No I Just don't need our deminsions colliding anymore, because they could possibly merge, cause a black hole, and worlds will cease to exist." I explain.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I see." Is the only thing that I can manage to get out.

The kid using scientific things on me always silence me. He turns around and starts heading back to his room. "By the way you sound, you plan on having it done by tonight." I state.

He turns around and looks at me in silence For a moment then finally answers. "Yes. The sooner the better." He states and disappeares into his room, leaving me in the hall way.
