Game Changer

Chapter 23

Jaelyn looked in the mirror of the bathroom as she looked at the clothes she was wearing, a simple white shirt with ripped jeans and high heels. She walked out the infirmary with a small limp. She was temporality blinded by the sun as she stepped outside of the sentential base. She smiled seeing Kingpin talking to Gideon and Mitchell, she walked over to them

"Hey guys" she said making them all turn to her. Gideon stared at her as she looked completely different, Mitchell smiled

"Good to see you're ok" Mitchell said as Jaelyn pulled her hair over her right shoulder

"Thanks" she replied when she turned to Kingpin

"So... what now?" she asked, he smiled at her

"You can go home" he replied, the smile fell from her face

"Home" she whispered

"You both can" Kingpin said looking at Mitchell

"What?" Mitchell asked

"Wait, hold on" Jaelyn said making them all look at her

"You knew!?" she was so hurt and pissed

"Yes I knew" Kingpin replied

"I was the one who asked for help" he said, she scoffed

"You mean he's...." she trailed off

"Yes" Kingpin replied, Jaeyln glared

"You asked for help!? You ripped him from his family for like 6 months!" she screamed

"How long have I been gone?!" Jaelyn yelled as tears fell down her face

"Jaelyn" Kingpin said

"I have a family! A boyfriend! Friends!" she yelled

"I had to" he said

"You had too!?" She screamed as she collapsed onto her knees crying.

"Jaelyn" Gideon said trying to help her up but she pushed him away when she saw something shinning in the distance, she looked up at it as her tears dripped off her face onto her hands. She saw Jack there, she pushed herself up off the ground. Kingpin looked at what she was looking at, he only saw a shimmering thing.

"Go, it's time for you to go home" he said making Jaelyn look at him

"Mitchell too" he said, she looked around as Ilona came over. She looked at Gideon and Ilona as more tears fell from her eyes, her heart breaking in two slowly. She could hear Jack calling for her, begging for her to come back to him. She looked at past the two and saw Knox and Cormack standing there smiling at her

"Go" they said, she took Mitchell's hand in hers

"Do we really want to this?" Mitchell asked her, she looked up at him biting her lip

"We have our families waiting for us... Mitchell.... You've been gone for like 6 months" she said as her voice cracked

"....Ok..." Mitchell whispered, together they walked to the shimming light. Jaelyn felt something tugging at her chest. She turned around and raced over to Gideon hugging him tightly. He hugged back surprised

"Come with us" she whispered in his ear making him move back without breaking the hug, he looked at her

"I can't" he said, she stared at him in disbelief

"Of course you can" she said but she than sighed and let go of him

"Fine but I need to go" she said starting to walk back over to Mitchell, Gideon went to grab her hand but missed as she stood next to Mitchell

"Let's go home" she whispered taking hold of his hand, they both stepped through the shimming light and disappeared.

Gideon looked down sighing deeply

"It isn't closed" Kingpin said smiling at him making Gideon look at him.
