Two Worlds V

Vincent...

"Alright, rules I know, don't go through the building. Kitchen, map room, library, bedrooms are open, everything else is off limits unless you ask Cas," I told Pen as he sat at the table in the map room. He nodded slightly, "Shower room's down the hall and that's also the bath rooms, got it?" He nodded, "Good." I pat his shoulder and he stumbled slightly. I rolled my eyes and then went to get food.

Cas, 3 days later...

I stood in the kitchen, keeping my hands on the sink to keep myself up. Vince came in and started making a sandwich. I pushed one of the ones I had made for Jack to him. He stopped and looked at it, then at me.

"Still nothing?" He asked.

"He hasn't eaten or drank anything in the past three days." I said quietly as I stared at the counter, "He won't talk to me, and I've tried everything." I shifted slightly, "I've never seen him like this before, and I don't know what to do."

I looked at him and he had his headphones in as he ate. I got off the sink, sighing. I left the room and started going down the hall again.

I looked into Jack's room and saw him looking at a picture Guy had handed him. Guy was sitting on his chair and looking at him. Guy got up and hugged him. He just kept staring straight. Guy let him go and looked at me sadly. He came to me and hugged me, breathing shakily.

"Will he be okay?" Guy asked shakily as I hugged him back.

"I," I started and breathed heavily, "I don't know," He breathed shakily and nodded, "Go and get something to eat." I let him go and he nodded, wiping his nose and going to get something.

I looked back to Jack and he was still just sitting there, the picture on the bed in front of him. I went to him and sat on his bed in front of him. I looked at the picture and it was of the four of us. We were all smiling. I smiled slightly.

"He's pretty good." I said quietly, and looked back to him, "You're scaring us, Jack. All of us." He kept staring at the mattress, "Vince doesn't show it, but even he is trust me." He shook his head slightly, and I felt my face go more worried.

"Please, just stop," He said quietly, "It doesn't matter."

"Jack," I said, feeling my breath start to slip and my eyes starting to sting.

"Just, leave me alone." He said, and I watched as his eyes watered.

"Don't push me away,"

"Cas,"

"Jack, please, don't drive me out," I started crying.

"I said leave me alone!" He snapped, looking at me and I jumped.

I swallowed and left the room, breathing heavily and shakily. I started wiping my eyes, hitting the wall and leaning on it. I started trying to calm down, getting out a choked sob. I then heard a gun cock and I quickly ran into Jack's room, grabbing the gun from him, causing it to go off. I grabbed onto him and pulled him to me, holding him as we both slipped to the floor. He breathed shakily as I held him.

Vince and Guy ran to the doorway and I just held onto Jack as he leaned on me. I breathed shakily. I got Jack onto the bed and held him as he cried quietly and held onto me. Vince breathed out and Guy hit his head against the doorframe, crying. Jack leaned on me as he kept his eyes closed.

Jack...

I felt my consciousness slip away and I went to a different place. I was sitting in a house, Ellen's old house. I looked around.

"Ellen?" I asked, getting up. I started walking around. I was alone.

I got out my phone and I started trying to call Cas. Her number wasn't there. I started calling her number. I put it to my ear and it was a dead line. I started calling every number she ever had. Still nothing.
