It turned out Jared had to stay in the hospital for two weeks. Jensen misses two weeks of school. Chad, Chris, and Jensen’s parents are in and out over the following two weeks. Jensen leaves when one of them or the nurses force him to. He usually grabs a bite to eat and a quick shower and comes right back. He sleeps when Jared sleeps. The day before Jared is released he brings up something they’ve been avoiding.
“Jensen,”
“Hmm?”
“You said you almost left, you know the first day in the hospital”
Jensen looks up from the book he’s been trying to read. Jared was in the hospital bed in front of him. The other man was looking better all the cuts and bruises were beginning to fade. Jensen knew his boyfriend still hurt emotionally because of what his parents did but Jared had convinced him that it wasn’t his fault. Jared wanted to be with Jensen and if his parents couldn’t accept that, well that’s their loss.
“Your dad said you were visiting your fiancée before you had your accident and well I got scared and insecure,” Jensen explains still feeling a bit ashamed.
“But you stayed?”
Jensen sighs putting the book away and standing up so that he could take a seat on Jared’s bed, “Chad wouldn’t let me leave. Neither would Chris.”
Jared gives him a small smile, “I don’t know if I should be angry or relieved.”
Jensen frowns taking his boyfriend’s hand and holds it. He got past most his insecurities when Jared showed his parents the door. He was convinced that Jared loved him, but there were other factors that made a relationship work and Jensen got scared some times. Scared that love just wasn’t enough. He had that with Justin and in the end their love didn’t stop Justin from leaving. He didn’t know how he could explain this to Jared.
“I get it if you are angry,” he mumbles looking down at the sheets.
Jared’s hand comes up to his chin and pushes up, forcing him to look at the other man, “We’re lucky you have such good friends. But listen you’ve got to tell me why you are scared. Why you don’t have faith in me.”
“I do! I do have faith in you,” Jensen makes a small hand gesture, “It’s the other things I don’t trust.”
Jared smiles, “You know Jensen I can’t guarantee that we will never break up, “ Jensen opens his mouth to say that that was exactly what he meant, but Jared stops him, “but you can’t let fear hold you back baby.”
Jensen nods, for Jared he was willing to try. The thing was how could he control the way he was feeling?
“I know.” Jensen whispers.
Jared smiles pulling him close and kisses him, soft and sweet, “I’m not going anywhere because I’m just as committed to this relationship as you are. You have to start trusting that. Maybe make some space for me in your closet?”
Jensen huffs a breath, “Dude your stuff is all that’s in my closet, you threw my clothes in that tiny little cupboard remember?”
They both start laughing uncontrollably at that.
Jared tells Jensen that after he get out of the hospital he wants to go home. Jensen feels a little tingle of excitement when he realizes that Jared meant their apartment in Texas. So they go there, on arrival their friends are waiting for them. They all wanted to see if Jared really was alright and if things between them still where alright.
Jensen parents were there too. They took Jared and Jensen away from the group to talk to them.
“You got a letter from Stanford sent to our address,” Jensen dad says looking at Jared.
Jared groans, “My parents were serious about disowning me. I’m so sorry if they’re causing you trouble.”
Jensen looks from his parents to Jared, he doesn’t know what his parents wanted to say but whatever it was it couldn’t be good. His mom gave him a concerned little smile.
“No. No they’re not causing trouble. Well not more than we think you’re worth anyway,” Jensen’s dad says smiling softly, “It’s just that your tuition for next semester wasn’t paid.”
Jared cursed at that but didn’t really seem surprised. Jensen wasn’t either, after what Jared’s parents did in the hospital this was nothing.
Jensen looks at his boyfriend trying to guess what is going on in his mind. Jared had mentioned already looking at a community college, but Jensen knew that was no use. Stanford had the best law school and Jensen wanted that for Jared. Jared shouldn’t have to give up on his future just because of them being together.
“We,” Jensen’s dad looks at his wife, “wanted to tell you that we paid it.”
Jensen wanted to crush his dad in a big hug but a curse from Jared stops him. He looks at his boyfriend who looked upset. Jensen didn’t understand, how could Jared be upset? Their problems were solved.
“No offence but I can’t accept that,” Jared says and Jensen can see that it’s hard for him to stay polite.
Jensen looks as his boyfriend walks away in an angry stride. Then he looks back at his parents.
“I have no idea,” he starts to say but his dad shakes his head.
“It’s okay. You can talk to him later. Right now I need to talk to you Jensen.”
Jensen swallows his dad sounded very serious. He wondered if he was in trouble. His dad didn’t seem upset but what the Padalecki’s did. Then he remembered what his dad said to Jared. Well not more than we think you’re worth anyway
So they did do something, Jensen worries how bad it could be.
“We’ve ah, we’ve been wanting to sell the resort,” Jensen’s dad starts looking at his wife.
Jensen’s mother nods, “We got a good offer,” she says.
Jensen is shocked for a while. He thought that the resort was his dad’s live work. That he would never want to give it up. It’s the main reason why Jensen was so set on taking over someday.
“I know you wanted to run the place one day. But we’ve been thinking that with the small minded people there,” his dad doesn’t finish that sentence, “maybe we could start over somewhere else when you have your diploma.”
Jensen stands there looking from his mom to his dad. They seemed alright with this. Jensen thought about it for a while. He was alright with this too. The dream of taking over the resort was more for his dad anyway and now he was free to do what he wanted. He just didn’t know what that was. But what his dad said about him building his own place, not necessarily a resort but something. Well Jensen liked that idea.
“We get that it’s a lot, with Jared and everything that’s been going on. But the offer won’t be on the table for long and we wanted to involve you in the decision,” His mom explains.
Jensen nods, he appreciated that. Only now that he knew there weren’t really big problems he wanted to see what was wrong with Jared.
“Mom, dad,” Jensen starts but his mom replies, “It’s okay you do what you have to do, but make sure to call us tonight. We’re worried about Jared too.”
Jensen looks at his parents walking to their car. He has said it before but it need repeating. He doesn’t know how he ended up with these parents but he is happy that he did.
When he finds Jared the other man is sitting on the bed with a half packed suitcase. Jensen’s stomach shrinks a little.
“Jay,” he asks tentative,” what are you doing.”
Jared looks up with an angry look on his face, “I wanted to leave. Then I realized that I had nowhere to go,” the last part of the sentence is screamed.
Jensen closes his eyes against the anger in Jared’s voice. He wanted to run and hide until Jared wasn’t angry anymore. But Jensen knew that if he did that right now he would lose a piece of Jared and he didn’t want that. Jensen has had his own share of freak outs and Jared dealt with every single one of them. Now it was Jensen’s time to be the confident one.
“Dude, we’ve got each other what more do we need? Why did you want to leave?”
“Your parents are paying for my school! Jensen that’s not normal,” Jared says pacing the room.
Jensen watches him do it a couple of times before stepping in front of the other man forcing him to stop.
“Babe,” Jensen says placing both hands on Jared’s shoulders, “that’s a good thing.”
“No it’s not! I don’t want to depend on anyone! What if we break up Jensen? What then?”
Jensen feels a little stab of pain. It wasn’t too long ago that he confessed his worry about this subject to Jared. But Jared was confident for the both of them, so Jensen stopped worrying. But now that Jared was freaking out, well fuck.
“How can you say that? Jared my parents paying for you is…. Fuck,” Jensen can’t seem to find the words. He takes a deep breath and tries again, “Look you wouldn’t have this problem if it wasn’t for me. So it makes sense that I help you solve it. Besides my parents don’t mind.
“Well fuck you!” Jared shouts, “You don’t have the right! You don’t have to feel guilty for what my parents did. It was my own choice.”
“Yeah but if I wasn’t.”
“It still would have happened Jensen, I would never have married Genevieve. But thanks for your vote of confidence. Fuck,” Jared stopped shouting but somehow these soft spoken words were worse.
Jensen opens his mouth a couple of time. He doesn’t know how to respond. He doesn’t know what he should say. It had been an issue between the two of them from the beginning. Shit Jensen knew what he was getting into with Jared’s parents, but Jared convinced him that it was worth it. Now Jared was like this, well fuck that.
“What’s your problem,” Jensen asks again.
He really had no idea why they’re fighting and he wanted to stop. But he was angry with Jared for being insecure. Fuck, this was not suppose to happen.
“You know what Jensen, fuck you,” and with those last words Jared walks away.
Jensen stands there, he has no idea what just happened, but he knows that it was bad.
Two hours later Jared hasn’t come home yet and he wasn’t answering his phone. Jensen was freaking out. He knew Jared and he had a bad fight. Shit he didn’t even really know what it was about, but he guessed Jared had a right no not make sense sometimes.
“Dude, why don’t you call Chad,” Chris says after Jensen has told him the whole story.
Jensen shakes his head, “I need to know what I did wrong first.”
Chris nods, “You dudes need to talk shit through.”
Jensen takes a sip from the whisky Chris had brought over to keep him calm. Then he sighs leaning back against the couch.
“Man things where good. He stood up to his parents and fuck that shit with his school was sorted.”
Chris snorts, “You curse a lot when you’re drunk.”
“I’m not drunk.”
“Anyway,” Chris continues, “I don’t think the parents thing is settled yet dude. They will always be his parents. But Jared is right when he doesn’t want them supporting him anymore.”
“Well that’s why my parents are paying for him school.”
Chris sighs, “Same puppet different puppeteer.”
Jensen looks at his friend, “What is that suppose to mean?”
“That maybe Jared wants to make it all by himself. That he doesn’t want to feel like he owes anyone, just like you.”
Jensen sighs, “My parents pay for my school.”
Chris shakes his head, “That’s different.”
Jensen knows Chris is right but he’s also sure that his parents are helping Jared because it’s the right thing to do, and they’d do the same for Chris if he needed it.
“Yeah, but they are still just trying to help because they care. They would pay for your school if you ever got in trouble. You know that. There are no strings attached to this.”
Chris downs his glass in one drink, “Yeah but Jared doesn’t know that.”
Jensen stares at his empty glass, huh.
