Janoskians One-Shots

What Silence Holds Part 2

Finally part 2

"Wake up, Jai. You have therapy today." Beau sing-songed to his sleeping brother. Jai groaned. It had been a week since he got out of the hospital. He felt like he was perfectly okay. Maybe a little sad, but being a little sad didn't require therapy. He was fine.

The Australian boy rolled out of bed and walked downstairs for breakfast. He stopped short, however, when he saw his twin brother eating a bowl of cereal. Things had been tense between them for the past week. It's not exactly easy for someone to walk in on someone mid-suicide attempt, but Luke had walked in on his own twin brother. Jai actually was beginning to think that Luke was avoiding him because of what happened.

Jai smiled and tried to make eye contact, but Luke looked away. It was also the moment that Beau decided to walk into the room.

"Hurry up and eat breakfast Jai, we have to leave pretty soon." Beau ordered him. Jai stood there unmovingly. Luke pretty much hated him right now, and he was expected to go to therapy on top of that. He had suddenly lost his appetite.

"You know what? I'm not really hungry. I'm just going to get ready." He had started to walk off, but Luke stopped him.

"Just eat something. Please. After what happened a week ago, you owe us that much." Luke begged. Jai looked down guiltily. Luke just had to throw that in his face. It wasn't like he had an eating disorder or anything, so he didn't see a problem in not eating breakfast one day. He chose to make his brothers happy instead of pointing out the obvious.

Beau pulled up to a secluded building on the opposite end of town. Jai had to chuckle at the irony of it. Far away so no one knows how crazy you truly are, he thought to himself. Beau gave him a strange look, but chose to let the subject drop.

"Jai, I know you hate having to do this, but it's for your own good. We came really close to losing you last week. We can't let that happen again. If not for your own sake then for Luke's. Seeing you like that absolutely destroyed him."

"Ok." Jai mumbled although on the inside he was screaming. He did not need therapy. If Luke was so affected by it, then why wasn't he the one going to therapy?

Jai slowly opened the car door and approached the building. He did not want to do this at all. He opened the door and walked up to the receptionist.

"Umm. Jai Brooks?" He mumbled not sure how to sign in. The receptionist nodded at him and told him to take a seat.

10 minutes later a door opened and he was called back. He folded a tall man to a room where his torture would begin. Inside he was met with a woman with brown hair, green eyes, and looked to be about 40.

"Jye, come on it!" She greeted pleasantly. "You can call me Susan."

"It's actually pronounced Jai." Jai corrected her. She was quick to apologize.

"I'm sorry. Take a seat and we'll begin."

Jai complied.

"So why don't we start off with talking about why you're here today." Susan suggested.

"Because my idiot brothers made me." Jai quips.

"Sarcastic I see. Well, I see here that you were recently in the hospital for an overdose. Tell me about that."

"There's nothing really to tell. I tried to swallow a bottle of pills and my twin interrupted me."

"What's your twin's name? I like to refer to names in this room to make it more real to my patients."

"His name is Luke."

"How is your relationship with Luke since he stopped you?"

"It's been not so good. He can't look at me anymore....you know what? This is stupid! I don't need therapy. Can I just leave now?"
