The Four Elements and Their Sins

Not without a fight

Suddenly Jake felt his anger die down and he managed to relax. As he did Lilli slowly walked to Hannah and helped her up. Jake still not enjoying the circumstances scoffed and stormed off into the building.

"What's up with him?" Hannah mocked.

"Not a clue." Lilli replied. Jake rushed threw the halls as people tried to stop him. As he approached the barracks a woman stood in his way.

"Excuse me." He mumbled.

"Not so fast, I have some questions about Mr. Jay Black." She ignored.

"Look lady, I just lost a good friend and my best friend of nearly nine years just stormed off so get out of my way before I move you!" Jake demanded. The lady gulped loudly and the people around them stopped talking. She moved to the side and Jake stormed into the barracks. He ripped off his jacket and shoved it into a chair. He punched a punching bag as hard as he could and it crashed to the ground. He flung himself onto a bed and relaxed his body.

He felt his muscles release their tension as he sighed heavily. Soon Jake had fallen asleep.

Jake slowly opened his eyes as he sat up. He stood and walked towards the door. He grabbed his jacket and put it on as he walked out the door. As he walked people began to gather behind him. Jake acted like he didn't see them. Suddenly the same woman from yesterday night stepped in front of him.

"May I have your input on the death of Jay Black?" She asked.

"So it wasn't a dream." Jake thought to himself.

"A tragedy, I know Anthony doesn't feel any better than me either do the others. So don't bother them." Jake mumbled. He bumped the woman's shoulder as he walked off.

"What about Jax leaving?" She called out. Jake stopped and turned around.

"He knows that he can come back anytime he likes." Jake spoke as he walked off. He stormed threw the door and immediately walked into the garage. Whilst he had been arguing with Jax and all of the others some workers had towed his car into the garage.

As Jake grabbed a hook and placed it on the front of the car Lilli walked in.

"Well look who it is." Jake chuckled. Lilli smiled and sat on a stool.

"What's up?" Jake asked as he pulled a lever that drug the car onto a plat form that only held the wheels.

"Well, I was wondering if you were going to find Jax?" She spoke worriedly. Jake sighed heavily and let go of the lever.

"I will, but only when I finish with the car, and God knows how long that'll take." Jake finished as he grabbed a rolling tray with tools on it. Lilli nodded slightly and walked towards the door.

"Hey, Beaver." Jake called. Lilli turned quickly.

"Want to do lunch today? Maybe we can go out?" Jake asked hopefully. Lilli smirked and nodded.

"Sure!" She called. Jake grinned and Lilli walked away. Jake than got to work.

As time went on he managed to take all of the main parts off of the car. Such as the doors, wheels and hood. As he worked with the engine the door opened. Jake leaned up and saw Hannah. She gave a slight wave and sat at a desk covered with magazines and car parts.

Jake set down a wrench and walked over to the desk.

"Hey." He mumbled.

"Hi." She replied quietly.

"What are you doing here? I know you didn't want to just watch me work." Jake chuckled.

"I wanted to say, I forgive you." Hannah spoke confidently. Jake stopped suddenly as he wiped his hands with a cloth.

"You forgive me?" Jake asked.

"Yeah." Hannah replied quickly.

"How do you know that I'm sorry?" Jake asked quickly.

"Lilli told me that you were going to find Jax once the car is done." Hannah spoke curiously.

"Just because I'm going to find him doesn't mean I'm sorry. I just don't want the idiot to get himself killed because his ego gets in the way." Jake retorted. Hannah scoffed and stood up quickly.

"I don't think his ego is the problem, it's yours." Hannah argued.

"My ego... My ego!?" Jake yelled as he slammed his robotic hand on the desk and cracked the wood.

"I am going to look for him! I'm risking my life so he doesn't die! I'm currently rebuilding a car to make sure he doesn't meet the same fate that Jay met" Jake yelled even louder.

"So how about you go look for him yourself before I do and maybe, just maybe my ego will be the problem. But until than I hope you get over it." Jake snapped as he ripped his arm from the table and got back to work. Hannah got up quickly and stormed off.

As time went on Jake managed to get the car to start. As he searched for a wheel the bell on the door jingled slightly. Jake glanced up front the tire rack to see Lilli with a bag of food. Than it dawned on him.

Jake got up as fast as he could and ran to Lilli.

"Beaver, I'm sorry I completely forgot about lunch." Jake spoke as he ran.

"Don't worry about it, you're fixing a car to go find someone that you yelled at the last time you spoke to him." Lilli grinned.

"Well Hannah thinks I'm going to find him because I'm sorry, can you believe that?" Jake scoffed. Lilli paused.

"You aren't?" She asked suddenly.

"Not exactly, I mean, I didn't want to make him run off but that's because he needed some space. That's not my fault." Jake spoke calmly. Lilli thought for a moment.

"Why aren't you?" She asked.

"It's not my fault he threw a tantrum."

"He's your best friend Jake. He wouldn't have let you walk away."

"He hit me because I tried to stop him."

"You said he wasn't aloud to use the car Jay gave him." Lilli began to raise her voice.

"Well how come I'm going to find him? Because I care about him. I want him to be alive." Jake finished. Lilli scoffed and started towards the door.

"Hey, Beaver, wait." Jake spoke as he started towards her. As she kept walking Jake grabbed her arm and turned her around. As Jake looked her in the eyes tears fell down her face.

"Hey, What is it?" Jake asked as realized what was happening.

"I've already lost my family, I don't want to lose anyone anymore, Jay was bad enough." Lilli cried. Jake pulled her into his arms and kissed her fore head.
