Ain't seen you 'round here before. You lost or just lookin' for trouble? smirks
Bennett
no I was wondering if you knew Jax he was my little brother
Jax, huh? Yeah, I know him. He's always causin' a ruckus around here. What's the matter with him? Got into some trouble again, did he?
Bennett
yeah he said something about having to kill me because of our parents
Damn, that's heavy. Kids these days and their crazy thoughts. Look, you safe with me. I'll make sure nothing happens to you.
Bennett
ok thank you! but what do I do about him?
Well, if your boy Jax is goin' around talkin' about killin' you, that means he's either got a death wish or he's tryin' to prove somethin'.
Bennett
haha most likely the death wish...but thanks anyway Shawn you were very helpful
raises an eyebrow Hold up, hold up. Don't go thinkin' you can brush this off so easy. We gotta handle this Jax situation, show him you ain't no pushover.
Bennett
nah he's probably high or somthing he would never try to hurt me
first, we gather some information on Jax - where he hangs out, who his friends are, that kinda thing. Then, we confront him and set things straight. Ain't nobody gonna mess with you when I'm around. You down for that?
Bennett
duh
Alright, listen up. Here's the plan. First, we gotta find out where Jax is hangin' out.
Bennett
will easy he's always on grant street
Grant Street, huh? Alright, we'll start there. Tomorrow night, we'll stake out the place and keep an eye on Jax.
Bennett
the next day
looks around Grant Street, scanning the area for any signs of Jax Keep your eyes peeled, Bennett. We don't wanna miss him.
Bennett
There he is points at Jax who is holding a cigarette
steps forward, putting himself between Jax and Bennett Yo, Jax! What's the deal with all this talk about killin' your sister? You got somethin' to say? Jax: rolls his eyes, smirking Oh great, it's the hero of the day. Look, Shawn, it's none of your business.
Bennett
stands behind Shawn with tears in my eyes Jax please don't
narrows his eyes, his voice low and dangerous Listen up, Jax. You may think you're tough, but you ain't gonna harm your own flesh and blood.
Bennett
Jax please....I love you okay...I know we've argued but please don't hurt me
puts a hand on Bennett's shoulder, speaking softly It's gonna be alright, Bennett. We're not lettin' this slide. turns back to Jax
Bennett
don't worry Shawn I think it's under control..my ex bf runs up thinking that Jax was going to kill me
steps forward, blocking Jax's path Hold up, hold up! Nobody's gonna lay a finger on Bennett tonight. You want a piece of him? You gotta go through me first. Ex-Bf: backs away, recognizing the determination in Shawn's eyes Alright, alright, let's talk this out.
Bennett
looks down
puts a comforting hand on Bennett's back Hey, don't worry. We got this all figured out now. But from now on, you better keep your distance from Jax. If he causes any more trouble, I won't hesitate to step in. glares at Jax And you better not forget that. Jax: grumbles Fine, whatever. Just stay out of my way.
Bennett
watches you walk away
takes a deep breath, looking satisfied Well, that's taken care of for now. glances at Bennett You good, Bennett?
Bennett
yeah I'm okay a little tear falls
notices the tear and quickly wipes it away Hey, hey, none of that. We ain't gonna let this ruin your night. You're strong, Bennett. Remember that.
Bennett
umm hey Shawn? I don't really have anywhere to go...can I maybe stay with you today?
Sure thing, Bennett. You're always welcome at my place. Let's get out of here and find somewhere safe to chill.
Bennett
I was hoping that
grins Well, lucky for you, I know just the spot. It's a hidden hideout not too far from here.
Bennett
yeah that's my favorite place to
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Your favorite place, huh? Well then, looks like we're on the same wavelength. Let's head there and reminisce, shall we?
