Finally face to face (Jett tag Eden)

[Jett Chen]

Some how, Izzy and Taki had conviced Jett this was a good idea. That he needed to be out in the open and outside in the fresh air, so here he was. Jett had made plans with Ben for the evening at 6pm. They would hang at Ben's place, watch movies, maybe order a pizza. Ben promised to keep everything to the bottom floor. Jett just hoped he didn't have to use the bathroom. he was sort of wearing an adult diaper. it was embaressing.

Jett had a nurse bring him to Ben's and leave him there. He rolled up to the front door to knock. He was nervous about this. Someone opened the door, a servant or something, jett wasn't sure, but they helped Jett inside. Of course everyone knew Jett at the house, but they assumed he was there for Eden not Ben.

Of course Jett thought the person was gonna go grab Ben, but that was not the case. Jett sat in the wheel chair downstairs waiting for Ben to arrive. he had no idea how he had been conviced of this but here he was. Out and about. it was still not the same. He still would rather be inside. He was rotten company. Who wanted to hang with a dude in a wheel chair.

[Eden Patridge]

Ben Patridge cursed loudly as he sat in bumper to bumper traffic on the PCH. He'd gone to see his dealer to load up on some stuff before Jett got there and now he was paying for it. He'd be home in a half hour if he was lucky and Jett was going to be there any minute. If Jett hadn't been in the chair, Ben knew this would be know big deal but now that he needed people to help him everywhere he went, he was going to be right one time.

Ben let out a sigh and texted his sister...please let her be there. He knew that Eden had been having a bit of trouble since Jett's accident. She refused to talk about it and she also wouldn't go see Jett and hardly talked to Izzy anymore. Maybe this could be the perfect opportunity for her to resolve some issues....

Ben: Are you home?
Eden: Yeah. Why?
Ben: I'm stuck in traffic and Jett's going to be arriving like now.
Eden: What???
Ben: Can you entertain him for a bit?
Eden: No!!
Ben: Thanks.
Eden: I hate you.

Eden let out an over-dramatic sigh. She'd been laying in her bed fiddling around on her laptop. She really was in no way fit to see anyone let alone Jett. Her long blonde hair was down but kind of messy and she was dressed in a pair of running shorts and one of Ben's old T-shirts that had shrunk in the watch. She didn't have a bra on or shoes when she heard the door.

Normally, no one but Ben and Eden inhabited the house but the twins' mother was seeing someone new - someone whom neither of them met yet or cared to - which meant that she was spending more time in LA even though she wasn't filming anything right now. The house was also cleaner as cleaning services had been hired and she'd even made sure to have someone there that could take care of Jett when Ben mentioned he was coming over. Eden personally hated having extra people in the house.

She sauntered into the living room just as Jett was being pushed inside, shielding her eyes behind a long piece of bangs she was growing out...or hadn't bothered to get trimmed...wahtever. She crossed her arms and uncomfortably shifted from one foot to the other. She was able to make out the image of Jett through the curtain of hair but it only made her blue eyes tear up and she was glad that Jett couldn't see them. "Ummmm Ben's stuck in traffic...I can like turn the TV on or something for you to watch till he gets back," she said uncomfortably as she watched the woman walk away. She worked for them and Eden hadn't even bothered to learn her name. She felt vulnerable and exposed and she wanted to get out of there as fast as she could.

[Jett Chen]

Jett watched as Eden entered. He might have lost the ability to use his legs, but his mind was still intact, so he knew Eden was avoiding him. Although he didn't know why, he did know she was. Jett fiugred it was the wheelchair. Eden didn't want a boyfriend in a wheelchair. which hurt. A lot. Jett really felt as if he was a burden to everyone. He couldn't even get inside Ben and Eden's house without having help. It was horrible. No wonder Eden avoided him.He should not burden her with having a boyfriend in a wheel chair.

Of course these thoughts added to Jett's depression, but he was slowly working on being more positive. He was alive, and that counted. Everything else could be dealt with. He just had to make the biggest adjustment he ever had to make. So Jett smiled up at Eden and placed his hands in his lap. "Long time no talk. i don't need the Tv. I have been watching it all day. We can talk until Ben gets here." Jett suggested.

Yes Eden avoided him cause of the chair, but they could talk like friends. He was not gonna as her to date him again, cause that would be unfair. Of course Jett had no idea of the truth. These were just his own miserable thoughts. "You look, different. Letting your hair grow I see." he commented. He liked Eden no matter what, but yes he did notice a change in her. "Hows senior year?"
