Cinematic Universes United

Chapter 42

Emily POV

"So... It's official... Dean's coming home in 5 months." Sam announces, poking his head in my room as I'm reading a book.

"Really?" I ask spirits immediately lifted.

"Yup," He replies with a grin from ear to ear.

"Yay!" I squeal, struggling but managing to get up and engulfing him in a giant, bear hug. "I'm gonna go check on JJ."

We are probably gonna do laundry. We haven't done it in forever

I run downstairs to find Jakie already grabbing some of the laundries.

"So you heard what I was thinking, huh?" I raise my eyebrows in mild confusion.

"Yup," She replies stuffing more dirty clothing into the basket and heading around the corner to the laundry room.

"So, you probably know what we're gonna be talking about?" I investigate further and she nods once.

"Shoot," She responds simply, putting some colored clothes into the washer, with a tide pod, and turning the cycle on.

"Dean's coming home!" I squeal like a child, and she stands up to congratulate me.

"Really?! Oh my god!" She grins, enveloping me in a hug.

Far too soon, she pulls away, leaning on the washer for support as she clutches at her chest like she's in pain. 

"You okay?" I inquire, reaching out to help her sit down on the floor.

"I'll be fine," She says, as her eyes fill up with unshed tears.

"Do you need any of the guys?" I ask.

"I don't want to disturb them. I'll be fine. Just give me a couple of minutes," She groans, shutting her eyes.

"I'm sure that they wouldn't mind leaving the news for a couple seconds to check on you," I argue.

"I'm fine," She snaps, getting up, and walking out of the laundry room angrily.

"What's wrong with her?" Sam asks from the doorway.

"Nothing," I answer too quickly, but he doesn't press further.

"Okay," I repeat, and we both chuckle awkwardly.

I follow Jakie up to her room. Once she enters her room she slams her door shut.

"JC... Please, open up?" I suggest.

"No..." She whines.

"Why?" I ask with a huff when I get no response.

"I will get Peter or Scott," I warn through the door, "Or even Isaac!" When she still doesn't answer I sigh and run off to find one of them. Once I reach the family room I see the two guys watching the football game.

"Hey guys-" I announce, but they totally ignore me as something exciting happened in the game. "Guys!" I try again, however still no response.

"GUYS!" I yell and Peter, Scott, and Isaac all look at me abruptly and confused. "JJ locked herself in her room..." I explain and both of their faces turn worried and determined.

They dash upstairs not waiting for a second to find out what is wrong.

"Jakie?" Isaac beats Peter to ask from outside the door.

Jakie POV

I hear Isaac's voice through the door and internally groan. I didn't want Isaac and as much as he tries to help and care for me like he would anyone in his pack. However, I know he wants me back it's practically obvious. The way he looks at me and not to mention he tries to flirt with me. But what I keep thinking to myself is... WHY THE HELL CAN'T HE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE AND LET MY BOYFRIEND COMFORT ME?!
