"Yeah, in here!" Jace called just moments before the smoke-alarm went off. The waffles Jace had been trying to make for him and Kai were singed to an impressive crisp, and smoke wafted from the waffle iron. "Sorry!" He apologized for the total mess in the kitchen, and flew from the sink to the stove-top and back again, batter and ingredients flying every which way.

Jace's cheeks flushed red with embarrassment as he tried to frantically clean the mess. He smirked at Kai's amused expression and held up a pitch-black waffle. "Waffles." He explained, "I was trying to make waffles." It was hard not to laugh at himself as he tossed Kai a paper plate. "Can you fan off the fire-detectors?" He asked as he placed some more dirtied dishes into the sink to be cleaned later.

"You were sleeping!" Jace countered as he turned the water on in the sink. He started washing dishes and then cleaning off the counters, laughing with Kai as he worked. He didn't really know where the cooking idea came from. Normally he could make a pretty good meal, but for some reason, he and breakfast had a long, smoky past.

Jace's smiled, "Thanks." He said softly. As he continued to wash the counter off, he moved the blender over to reach a spot on the wall where batter had splattered, and what he found made him jump a bit. "Kai?" He asked tentatively. "What are these doing here?" He asked although he already knew the answer. His head started to spin and he worried what might happen next. He looked to Kai with eyes wide and fearful. How long have these been here? He wondered.

Jace watched the panic fill Kai's eyes and quickly realized what he had done. "Kai... Kai, stop it's fine, really it's fine!" He tried to put them down at the same time that Kai went to grab them cutting him in the process. "Kai! I'm so sorry." He apologized and grabbed Kai's hand quickly, examining the cut. It was a deep wound, and Jace had no way of knowing how deep was too deep. Suddenly his biggest worries were coming to life and he had no way of knowing how to stop it.

"A-a-are you okay?" He asked trying to stay calm. "Do we have to..." He trailed off. Would Kai want to go to a hospital? It the cut that bad? He held on to Kai's hand and opened a medicine cabinet in the kitchen. He grabbed a bandage and wrapped it around Kai's wrist several times, then tied it. He brought Kai's wrist to his mouth and kissed it as he had done a week ago to his scars. "I'm sorry." He said again in a breathy voice. He hugged Kai and grabbed his coat. "I have my cell, call me if you need anything." He said passively. He needed to put some distance between him and the tension that was overflowing from the house. He hoped Kai would understand.

"Only if you don't want me to stay." Jace replied with a worried glance at Kai's wrist. "Do you need to see a doctor for that?" He wondered out loud and offered for Kai to go to the hospital with him. He didn't want to leave Kai like that, but he felt if he stayed he might just make the situation worse.

Jace saw Kai's expression and knew he had to stay. He couldn't just run away from this... from them. He put his coat back and walked over to Kai wrapping his arms around him. "I'm sorry." He said again. "I'm not going anywhere I promise."

(Time-Skip soon?)

(Sounds good!)
It had been a hard couple of days for Jace. Since the accident, things had been going fine with him and Kai, but he was getting restless. His dreams were plagued with worry. Nightmares of Andrea screaming in pain, or Kai laying lifeless in a puddle of blood were normal nights for Jace. He couldn't control the demons in his head and it was starting to affect more than just his imagination. He tried to focus on school, grades, his future, anything but the images he couldn't escape. It was almost too easy for him to agree to another party. His only friend seemed to be the alcohol he consumed daily just to keep the nightmares away. He couldn't let Kai know about his troubles, he might consider leaving Jace. Say it was for the best. Jace feared this the most. So he would take another shot, and drift into a careless world, even if he knew it was only temporary. He lived this way for a week or so, when one of Dom's friends introduced him to drugs. He couldn't refuse, and found that he was a rather b itchy druggy. He was rude and careless, but no cares meant no worries. So Jace bought time to do drugs and drink just for the sake of forgetting, even though it didn't last long

Jace was currently in a state of utter incomprehension, and to Jace, it was bliss. He soaked up every second of unbelievably numbing joy, as he floated higher than a kite. His mind was blank. Like a vast desert of unending nothingness, Jace slammed down shot after shot, carefree as a bird in the sky. He never once thought of Kai or Andrea or School or his parents. It was just him and the strange stain on Dom's wall that looked like a T-Rex. And Jace liked it this way, or at least he told himself he did. Deep down, he needed to know he was loved. He needed to feel like he wasnt the one to always be picking up the pieces. He wanted hands to catch his head when his eyes filled up with water, and fingers to reach his shoulders when the weight if a lifetime seemed too heavy to hold.
