[The drive was quiet and thankfully traffic was still good. Soon they were parked at Jack’s apartment building, making their way in, and knocking on his door.]
Jack pulled the door open when they arrived, using a foot to keep the black pug and bulldog pup at bay so they wouldn’t go running out into the street. He didn’t look good; clearly worry lines marked his face and he greeted them both, holding the door open for them. The man gave one last glance outside the door; maybe hoping Katelynn was returning.
Seeing her not there, he sighs, and shuts the door after them.
One way or another they were going to get to the bottom of this.
She had wandered the city long enough, avoided this for hours, but with how the confrontation had gone with Six she just didn’t feel mentally ready to deal with Jack yet, knowing he would be upset with her and trying to figure out how she was going to keep Six’s past to herself.
He would probably keep insisting and she knew she just couldn’t do it.
What am I going to tell him if he keeps asking? she wondered, seeing her apartment complex up ahead. Her heart pounded in her chest but she couldn’t be afraid forever. She had to face this head on and deal with it, to let him have his say. With what she had told him before she left she was hoping at the same time that he would say what he wanted, to share everything because he tended to hold back his feelings sometimes. She could just tell.
Walking up to Jack’s apartment, her hand shook as she put the key in the door, opening it and immediately being greeted by the last two people she wanted in the room.
Oh god, Violet and Alice are here?
Her stomach churned, feeling her nerves increase as she looked from all of their faces and towards Jack last, seeing the worry on his face.
“….H-Hi…” she whispered, having closed the door behind her and leaning back against it.
Oh what what are they going to think about what I did? They’re going to hate me…
Jack had just been setting out some tea for the two girls, as well as himself. Something to calm his nerves. Roxy and Stella were keenly sitting around them; luckily in the time since Katelynn had moved in Jack had gotten two more bean bags so there wasn’t just one any more. Something for people to sit on when visiting. He looked up when he saw the door open and his eyes widened when he saw her. “Katelynn!” he gasped, rushing over to her and threw his arms around her tightly. “O-oh my God Katelynn!” he sounded relieved; because he was. How could he not be? “I-I’ve been so worried! W-we all h-have been!” granted, for different reasons but yes. They’d all been worried. He pulled back, looking at her, concern on his face.
