Jensen wasn't sure what to do with himself with Jared gone. He stayed in their room for awhile, not really wanting to spend time with Jared's family today. The reality of their scam was starting to weigh on Jensen, mostly because of Jared's little freak-out after his parents announced they wanted them to get married after his grandmother's birthday. Jensen hasn't had to worry about other people for so long, and disappointing family. It stings a little to think of Jared's family being hurt if this all blows up in their faces.
After nearly two hours of sitting around doing nothing, since this is supposed to be a vacation and he really shouldn't do any work here, Jensen finally leaves the room. Jared's parents and grandmother are sitting around the living room. Jensen can tell before even announcing his presence that Jared's mother and grandmother are excited, and probably talking about wedding plans. Jensen again gets a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach.
"Hi." Jensen greets Jared's family, suddenly very exhausted.
"Hey sweetie. Can we get you some lunch? Coffee?" Jared's mother asks, getting off the couch.
"No, I'm fine. Thank you." Jensen forces a smile.
Jensen notices Jared's father remains quiet, and unlike the rest of the family, he does not look as thrilled about everything.
"We have a lot of planning to do..." Jared's mother smiles.
"Yeah, I know. You guys really don't have to go out of your way. I appreciate everything you're doing."
"Nonsense. That's what family is for." Jared's mother takes a seat back on the couch, next to Jared's grandmother. Jensen stays where he's standing, not wanting to get too comfortable. Jared's father is also making him a little uneasy sitting there in silence.
"Speaking of family dear, wouldn't you want your family here for this?" Jared's grandmother asks.
Jensen feels sick. They've only been here a few days, and Jared's parents barely know anything about him. Which is his own fault. Jensen didn't really open up to Jared's family when he had the chance the other day. He's not used to this.
"It's just me." Jensen tries to smile, but the stress of the day and the questions being thrown at him are throwing him off.
"Where are your parents sweetie?" Jared's mother asks.
Jensen should be pissed they keep calling him names like sweetie, and that they're being so nice. But really, it just makes him feel worse. They're just trying to be nice, and he's screwing everything up.
"They uh...they died when I was 14." Jensen states, trying to remain detached, as if talking about someone else.
Jensen can tell that Jared's mother and grandmother feel sorry for him, and he knows this is a conversation he no longer wants to be apart of. But he can't be rude to Jared's parents, that would not help situations.
"Oh, Jensen, I'm sorry. That must have been rough." Jared's mother finally says, after an awkward silence.
Jensen does not want to yell at Jared's mom, or bust into tears. He needs to get out of here. He needs to get out of here now.
"It's um...it's okay. It's totally fine. It happened so long a long, you know." Jensen smiles, the nausea in his stomach not lighting up.
"Jensen...I know we can be a little over the top sometimes. But it doesn't mean we wouldn't understand. Family means a lot to us, so..." Jared's mother is cut off but Jensen.
"Stop it!" Jensen nearly shouts, wanting to kick himself once the words out of his mouth.
Jared's father stands up.
"I'm sorry." Jensen mumbles. Jensen turns to Jared's father. "I'm sorry sir, it um..."
Jensen takes a couple steps away from Jared's family, starting to feel claustrophobic.
"I'm um..I'm just going to go for a walk. I'm sorry again."
Jensen leaves quickly, needing to get out of there. There's a bike leaning against a pile of wood outside. Jensen is not really the outdoorsy time, but the bike will get him away from everything a lot faster than his feet. Jensen takes the bike, and gets as far away as possible.
---
As Jared makes his way home, he gets a call from a store in town about Jensen's phone. It's ready to get picked up. Jared knows that will make Jensen happy. Jared parks the car, and walks towards the house ready to get Jensen into town. He's worried how Jensen's been with his parents all day by himself. He notices the bike is gone, but maybe his parents just moved it into the garage. Jared didn't really understand why they kept it outside most of the time, nobody really used it.
"Jensen!" Jared calls out as he enters the house. He quickly finds his parents and grandmother in the living room. "Hey guys, Jensen still upstairs? I want to take him into town."
"No Jay, he went for a walk. I think we might have upset him." Jared's mother tells him.
Jared's dad scoffs and rolls his eyes as he gets up, leaving the room. Jared watches him go before he turns back to his mom.
"Did dad say something to him. I know he doesn't approve of all this but still. I should be able to leave my fiance alone with you guys for a few hours." Jared sighs, taking a seat across from his mom and grandmother.
"We just wanted to talk to him about some wedding stuff, and we kind of asked him about his family. We didn't know Jared. Why didn't you say anything?" Jared's mother asks.
"Shit. Sorry. I um...I donno. He rarely talks about it you know. When I started working for him, well...he was a dick. Sorry about the language."
"That's okay sweetie, we understand. You forget who you vented to most of the time." Jared's mother smiles.
"He had to grow up fast I guess. I can't even image what I would have done if I lost you guys when I was his age." Jared smiles sadly.
"I know. I do. Look, we love having you here, we do. But I think you got a boy to track down. Take him into town, have a date night or something. I think he needs it." Jared's mother smiles.
"Thanks mom." Jared gets up, and leaves.
Jared exits the house, trying to figure out how he could possibly find Jensen. Who knows where he could have gone. He walks towards the woods, taking his chance that Jensen took this path to clear his head.
---
Jensen throws the bike to the ground after nearly wiping out for the fourth time. He officially hates this place, and hates nature. He hates that it's been a really long time since he's stored all those negative thoughts and memories behind multiple brick walls, and only after a few days with Jared and his family those walls are startling to crumble.
Jensen walks a few feet away from the bike, and sits down on a tree stump. He needs to clear his head, and rebuild some walls. Instead he feels a few tears run down his cheeks, and he curses himself.
"Fuck!" Jensen yells, as he buries his face in his hands.
Jared continues to walk down the path his on, worried that Jensen may have gotten himself lost out here. He's hoping Jensen didn't get very far before Jared found out he took off. After a little while, Jared finds the bike on the ground. He looks around but doesn't see Jensen around.
Jared takes a few steps away from the bike, but freezes when he hears some noises. If he's not mistaken, it sounds like someone's crying. He hopes Jensen didn't hurt himself. "Jensen! Where are you?"
Jensen jumps, wiping the tears from his face when he hears Jared's voice. Jared's too close, everything is too close. He needs more time, more space. Jensen quickly stands up, and hopes he's able to pull on the masks in time.
Jensen walks towards the bike, assuming that where Jared might be.
"Jensen?" Jared steps behind a tree to see Jensen approaching the bike. "Are you okay?"
Jensen ducks his head, avoiding Jared's stare as he picks up the bike. "I'm fine."
Jared thinks Jensen may have been crying, when he notices Jensen's red eyes and blotchy face. Jared wants to believe that's not the case, because in the years he's known Jensen he's rarely seen a vulnerable side to him.
Jensen starts walks up the path, back towards Jared's house. Jared jogs to catch up, grabbing Jensen gently on the shoulder.
"Hey. What's going on?" Jared asks, knowing he should have kept his mouth shut.
"What do you want from me Jared?" Jensen yells, throwing the bike back down to the ground.
"Nothing. I just...I want to make sure you're okay." Jared defends, feeling bad already.
"I'm fine. Perfect actually. Let's get going." Jensen goes to pick up the bike again, but Jared stops him. "Just leave me alone Jared. This isn't real. You don't actually like me, and I'm not gay. We don't have an audience, so you can drop the act."
Jensen pushes Jared away from him, not liking Jared being this close.
"Fine!" Jared shouts. "Sorry for caring. I just wanted you to know you're stupid phone is ready. So if you can stand spending some more time with me today, I can take you into town so you can get back to your business."
Jared picks up the bike, and starts walks back towards his house. Jensen sighs, feeling like shit again. This is going to be a long couple of days, if he can survive it.
