In The Eye Of The Storm

Chapter 6

Jupiter's Pov

Jupiter runs into the house slamming the door behind him. He sinks down to the ground and he pulls his knees to his chest. He puts his head on his knees trying to catch his breath.

Henry walks to him quickly "hey keep it down Hop... Jupiter what's wrong?" He asks him quickly kneeling infront of him and he tries to get him to look at him.

Jupiter shakes his head "it was her. I know it was her I could feel it in my heart." He mumbles into his knees.

"Who was who buddy?" He asks quietly not catching on to what he was saying "did you not get the job?" He asks "I'm sorry man."

Juptier shakes his head and looks at him his eyes glistening with the slightest tears "I saw willow." He whispers "I touched her she was there right in front of me. I let her go...I let her slip right between my fingers like I always have done." He puts his head back down.

Henry listens to his broken friend "Jupiter, Willow is dead." He sits down beside him slowly. "She's been gone for almost two years now." He says softly "I thought we were getting better." He puts his hand gently on his arm.

Juptier shakes his head "she's alive Henry I saw her" he says "I know it was her."

Henry shakes his head "come on Jupe, it was just someone who looked like her." He pulls him up gently and he walks him to the kitchen "I made some dinner get something to eat man." He says and he sits him down infront of a plate.

Juptier looks at the burger and he rubs his head gently "y-your right... She's gone" he whispers "it couldn't have been her." He looks up at Henry.

Henry gives him a beer. "I understand, she looked liked her. You freaked out" he says softly. He sits down at the table as well. "It's okay."

Juptier nods softly and he makes his burger quietly. "She looked exactly like her.." he mutters as he cuts his burger in half.

Henry sighs softly "so how was work?" He asks quietly thinking changing the subject would be the best for his friend.

A soft smile forms on his face "it was actually really good." He says quietly and he takes a bite of his burger. He falls silent and looks at it.

Henry stops quickly and sits up "what? What's wrong with it?" He asks quickly.

Jupiter smirks "you never told me you could cook like this man. This is the best thing I have ever tasted." He takes another bite "I mean damn."

Henry rubs his neck and he shrugs "I watched a few cooking tutorials." He says quietly and he leans back in his chair again. His heart slowly beating back to normal again. He was glad he liked it. He thought he had messed up.

Juptier finishes the burger quickly and he stretches. "Dude, that the great." He says and he stands up cleaning up his plate.

Henry shrugs "it was nothing. Hope is asleep by the way." He says quietly he looks at his watch quietly

Juptier nods "thanks again for doing this for me." He walks over snd he pulls out some money "here for always being there for me."

Henry shakes his head "nah man, I'm here for you, not your money, you need it for Hope" he says softly pulling on his jacket.

Juptier sighs and he puts the money back "Henry can you stay?" He asks quietly "I really want to get some sleep tonight I have to wake up early tomorrow."

Henry stops and he shrugs off his jacket "yeah of course man," he says he looks at him and smiles "I like sleeping on your couch anyway."

Juptier chuckles lightly and he walks to Hope's room and he kisses her head gently and then he walks to his room closing the door.

Henry sits on the couch "I would do anything for you." He whispers to himself and he lays back on the couch softly closing his eyes.
