The Scared Broken Boy [COMPLETE]

Chapter 26

        "What?!?" Mike asked in total shock. He started to freak out now too and started to wish that he didn't hear Logan correctly. "That crazy girl broke out of jail?!?" Mike asked, his voice rising. "Yeah!" Logan said, "And I feel bad about my attitude and snapping at everyone, especially Jake, but I can't help it! I'm freaking out and we need to go home now! Only you, Anthony, Erika, and I know right now! They want everyone home safe and then we'll tell everyone else!" "O-Okay!" Mike said, still in so much shock and trying to comprehend all of this.

        Logan, Mike, Jake, Tydus, and RyRy reached the Team 10 house finally. The drive was silent all the way home and Jake's mind changed back to normal during it. He feels really guilty how he was acting when his mind was completely 3 year old even though he had no control of it. He feels like Logan hates him now and is annoyed of him. He feels like a huge problem again. He stayed quiet as Logan quickly unbuckled him and picked him up out of the car seat while Mike got Tydus and RyRy out of the car. Logan set Jake down on the ground and they all walked up to the front doors of the mansion. When they got inside, everyone else was standing around the area of the house that's right in front of the front door and the stairs. Mike shut the door behind them and they walked up to their friends/family. Tydus and RyRy ran to their parents and hugged them and then got picked up by them. Jake walked over to his and Logan's mom and hugged her leg, scared about what's going on. "Okay, everyone is here," Chad said, "What's going on?" Jake watched Logan and can tell Logan is really nervous still, but he looks even more nervous now. "Okay, but before we tell you all," Erika said, causing everyone to look over at her, "We want you all to try to stay calm and not freak out too much. We know it's going to be hard, but we're all in this together and got each other's back and are going to protect each other." Everyone started to get even more nervous than they already were and their hearts are racing in their chests now. They gave each other nervous and confused glances. "What do you mean?" Tessa asked softly, "What's going on?!? What happened?!?" "That girl who stuck Jake with the syringe broke out of Jail," Anthony said. Everybody fell silent at that, especially Jake. Some stared at Anthony in shock while others looked down or stared at Jake. Instead of their nerves calming down since they know what happened, their nerves got even worst. Their hearts started beating faster and some even started to shake a little, worried about Jake and everyone else and themselves. They all know that the girl is probably going to want revenge for being locked away and even wanted Jake before she got locked away. They also know she is probably going to want revenge on everyone else...not just Jake. Jake slowly looked down at the floor, his eyes getting watery. He started to shake a little and he bit his little tongue, not wanting to cry, especially in front of everyone. He feels weak, nervous, and like he's going to be sick. His mind is traveling fast with all of these thoughts going through his head and he started to feel dizzy. His heart pounded in his chest, the noise filling his ears. The silence finally got broken by Erika's soft voice which got caught everyone's attention, "There is police on their way here already to keep watch and guard us just in case she comes for revenge on us..." Everybody else finally started freaking out and chatting with everyone instead of being stuck in their thoughts and freaking out inside. "How could she have gotten out?!?" Pam asked. "I don't know, but she better not come here!" Arie said. "Wha-What are we going to do?!?" Tessa asked as tears streamed down her face. "It'll be okay," Anthony said, trying to stay calm, "We all are here for each other and going to protect each other. There is also police almost here." Jake continued to listen to everyone's loud, freaked out chatter, but they were mostly blocked out. He was mainly focusing on all of his thoughts and was freaking out on the inside: How did she get out? What if she comes for revenge? What if the police and us can't stop her and she hurts someone? What if she takes me away? What if she works with that creepy guy? What if she takes me and everyone else too? Jake's breathing started to get heavier and his shakes got worst. Tears started streaming down his face and everyone's voices dissapeared around him. It was then like a switch in head got flipped. His eyes got even more watery and he let go of his mom's leg as his mind switched to full on three year old. He then let out a loud cry, causing some people to jump and everyone looked over at him right away. "Oh no, sweetie!" Pam said, her eyes watery too, "It's okay!" She went to pick him up, but he started to run away while crying. "Not again!" Trav said as he started to run after Jake with a scared and sad Tydus in his arms. "Jake!" Everyone yelled as they ran after him all over the house. Jake ran as fast as his little legs could take him though. His cries broke everyone's heart and some of their eyes got even more watery than they already were. "Jake, stop running!" Erika yelled and her voice cracked a little. "It'll be okay, bud!" Mike yelled. "Come on, Jake!" Logan yelled, "You don't have to be scared! We're all in this together!" Jake's cries just got louder and he found his spot he hid in last time: behind the boxes in the corner of the merch room. He quickly slipped behind them and sat down against the wall, hugging his legs close to his chest. He can't get those thoughts of the girl out of his head even when he's in full on three year old mode. The real present age Jake back there is still thinking about those green eyes he saw as he met the girl and then got stuck with the syringe. Those green eyes haunt him still and he could never really seem to get them out of his head. "Jake?!?" Pam yelled as her and everyone else walked around the house, trying to find him. Jake hid his little face in his knees and hugs his legs even tighter, softly crying into them now. "Jake, where are you?!?" Chad asked. "Jake?!?" Logan yelled as he walked into the merch room, "Bud?!?" Logan then saw the boxes in the corner and remembered Jake hiding there last time. He walked over and peered around the boxes to see a little Jake hiding his face in his knees, hugging his legs tightly. "I found him!" Logan yelled, causing Jake to jump a little. Logan flinched a little at that and frowned. "Where is he?!?" Arie asked as him and everyone else ran over. "Hiding behind the boxes like last time," Logan said and looked back at them, "Let me talk to him alone for now and calm him down some." "Okay," everyone said and walked away to the living room for now, not wanting Jake to feel overwhelmed. Logan then moved some of the boxes and then crouched down in front of Jake. "Jake, look at me," Logan said softly. Jake didn't listen though and just stayed still, sniffling a little. "Jake," Logan said, but with a little bit of stern in his voice this time. "N-No!" Jake said and Logan can tell he is still crying, but softer now, "Yo-You mad at me! You hate me!" Logan's heart broke at that and he looked down to the side, feeling even more bad about earlier at the park. He had to get stern though and make Jake listened! He knows he went a little too far though probably and was kind of mean, but he was really freaked out and Jake wasn't listening then. Logan moved next to Jake and sat down against the wall like Jake is. "I don't hate you," Logan said softly, "I could never hate you. I was just scared and mad. You weren't listening, so I got even more mad than I already was and went a little too far with being stern and discipline." "Yo-You mad still!" Jake cried. "No," Logan said, "I can't stay mad at you." Jake kept crying though and they weren't as soft now. They got a little louder and he hugged his legs even tighter if that was possible. "Look up at me, buddy," Logan said, still trying to get Jake to bring his head up. Jake listened this time and brought his little head up. He looked up at Logan with his watery brownish-greenish eyes and tears are running down his face. Logan softly grabbed Jake's face with one of his hands and wiped one of the tears away. "I'm sorry if I scared you earlier," Logan said softly, "I'm sorry if you got scared again now." "It okay," Jake said and sniffled, not crying as much again. His grip on his legs loosened some and Logan noticed. Logan then tried picking Jake up and Jake let him. Logan set Jake down on his lap and Jake wrapped his arms around Logan as best he can. He rest his head on Logan's chest and sniffled again. Jake then said something that broke Logan's heart even more, "I scared, Logey. Everyone sad and angry it seems." Logan can tell that's three year old Jake still, but he also has a feeling that was a little bit of twenty-one year old Jake showing just then. "Don't be scared," Logan said softly, his eyes getting watery now, "It'll be okay. Police are on their way here already. Me and everyone else are going to protect each other. I'll protect everyone." Jake felt protected at those words and relaxed a little. They both then can hear the sirens of police cars getting louder outside the house and Jake's grip tightened around Logan again.

        There's police officers walking and standing around all over the house, guarding and protecting everyone. The time is 8 PM and everyone else is sitting and laying around the living room, watching movies on the big T.V from Netflix. They've all been lazy and staying around each other for the rest of the day, not wanting anyone out of their sight, especially Jake. Jake curled up in Logan's lap, clinging onto him like he has been all day. His mind is twenty-one year old again and it changed back to normal after a nap he took with Logan earlier that day. He focused on the sound of the movie and the feeling of Logan's hand gently running through his hair. His eyes got droopy and he can feel himself slowly falling asleep, feeling protected and comfortable with his family around him.

This was so rush, sorry. I really wanted to get this one done so I can get back to posting again. I had other stuff planned, but I just shortened it to this. So sorry! I love you all so much! ♡
