[ Jon didn't know what to do. Every action feels robotic. He sent out what texts he could about his father's departure from his phone and checking his father's contacts. He didn't bother checking for the replies. It buzzed quietly in a corner and it wall he could do to melt it down. He must have cried for hours when he found his father's letter, holding onto Annora until she protested his strong grip. After the sadness, the fear had finally sunken in. He was alone. There were no contingency plans, no promises he could follow. He didn't know what to do.

What about the house? Was Jon meant to protect it? Would Miss Jones take it away now that his father had left? He didn't want to leave. He couldn't leave. He curls up tighter with his blanket, trying to block out all the fears and doubts that plague his mind. Everything was so uncertain and Jon . . . Jon was scared. He didn't know how to stop. ]

[Shit, he hadn't meant to make the kid cry. He looks intensely uncomfortable.]

Don't, really. It's not worth it.

[supersweet]

[ Jon sniffs, wiping his face in frustration. ]

That's dumb. It's always worth something. You don't get to decide that!

[advanced]

Sure I do, they're my issues, aren't they? If I don't get the decision, who does?

[supersweet]

[ This is some messed up logic and Jon can feel it, but he lacks the ability to argue it. ]

Are you saying my dad didn't have a say in it? Because he thought it was worthy. He thought you were worthy.

You can't do that to him.

[advanced]

Yeah, he thought it was worthy enough to break his damn promise.

[His teeth shut with a click, he's said too much, and he immediately turns for the door.]

I'll go and put my name on the lease.

[supersweet]

[ Jon flinches, stepping back, his expression a mask of pain and grief. He manages to keep the tears from coming this time, at least. ]

Yeah, okay.

. . . Talk to you later?

[advanced]

[He's sorry, he didn't mean to hurt Jon any more than he's already hurting, but it's too late now.

He doesn't even respond other than the barest nod, before stalking out of the house. At least he will do what he says he will, and Jon will get notification of James Barnes on the lease.]
