Jimmy? My Name isn't even Jimmy!

Prompt - "My Name isn't even Jimmy!"

_________________________________________________

In the initial interviews for the role of the TV show host, Jay, not wanting to be recognised, used a different name for the form so they would give equal chances. In the interview, he explained the situation, and they agreed with him, and gave him an equal chance. He eventually got the job, and was preparing the first episode for next week.

But he wished he didn't use a fake name.

On the form, he went under the alias of "Jimmy," but now, even though people knew his actual name, they still called him that. Out of spite, or amusement, he didn't know.

It was always, "Hey Jimmy," or "Jimmy can you help me with this?" Jay didn't like the name, and was starting to get annoyed by the situation. It also didn't help that some people came to see him, to try and change his mind other than being a TV presenter.

"Jay."

Jay spun round in his chair to see Lloyd standing at the door. He just spun his chair back to his mirror.

"What do you want Lloyd.." Jay asked in a monotone voice.

"Are you still sure about not coming back." Lloyd replied softly, trying to use his words as his greatest attack. It didn't work on Lloyd as much as Jay however. Jay got annoyed.

"For the last time, Lloyd, I'm not coming back, not after Zane, not after Cole, Not after Nya! I don't belong there anymore.

"Cole left a few days ago, and it's getting difficult with just me and Nya protecting the streets. Are you sure?"

Jay turned around and looked Lloyd straight in the eye.

"Never again."

Then Jay turned around. Lloyd took that as a sign to leave. One of the assistants walked in.

"You ready for your coffee, Jimmy?" She asked. Lloyd raised an eyebrow.

"Jimmy?" Lloyd questioned.

"Don't worry about it, it was what I used to sign up for this place." Jay moaned into his hands, trying not to snap at her.

Lloyd left the room, and started heading out. He just needed to get Jay back. Kai left before Jay, and Cole had only just gone, and it was only Lloyd and Nya protecting the whole of Ninjago. He had one lifeline left, but it would be risky.

(Two Days Later)

Jay was getting tired of the onslaught, and just one more, and he will get angry.

"Hey, Jimmy." The voice felt familiar, but forign at the same time. He just blew.

"For the last time. My name isn't even Jimmy!!" He all but practically shouted. He turned around his chair to see Nya at the door, not a smile or a frown on her face. Just staying neutral.

"What are you doing here." Jay frowned, his voice lowered.

"I came to ask you to come back to us, we need your help!" She stated, her arms crossing.

"Why don't you go ask Cole." Jay retorted, voice full of distaste. Nya picked up on it.

"Because I came to ask you. You trust me, right?" She asked.

"I thought I could." He spat out. He really wanted to still be with her, but he knew it would never happen again, so he just wanted her as far from him as possible.

"What happened to you Jay? You used to be so positive." She tried to lift his spirits. It didn't work.

"You did." Jay practically sulked.

"Are you absolutely positively sure you're not coming back?" Nya almost pleaded with him. She wanted him back, in both ways, but she couldn't admit it to him.

Jay really wanted to come back, but he knew he couldn't, both for the sake of the show, and that he would not feel right, and not fit in there anymore. He had to decline.

"Sorry. I won't come back." Jay said.

Nya sighed in defeat. He would have to tell Lloyd the bad news.

"Alright, if that's what you want. You will be welcome back anytime. " She threw the last bit in as a double meaning, but Jay didn't pick up on it. She left the room sadly, and started to leave the building.

Maybe Jay would return, maybe he wouldn't. That was for the future to decide, and Nya hoped he would return one day.
