Jonathan
There are days when I wish I didn't basically need physical touch to live, like right now. Mom just yelled at me for skipping school, but she doesn't get it, no one does. I just want a break from everything that's been going on lately. They all act like it's poor Jordon because he's the one with the superpowers, but no ones asked me once if I'm okay since this whole thing with Jordon's powers and Morgon Edge started. I haven't been hugged in forever I mean yeah, pats on the back and fist bumps I've gotten but it's not enough. I want so badly for dad to come up and check on me but he never does so I decided to take a hot shower and lay under 6 blankets to feel like I'm wrapped up in a hug.

I get back from looking for Edge again and go up to check on Jonathan. I walk upstairs and find him curled up on his bed under several different blankets. I walk over to him and run my fingers through his hair and he whines.
"Dad?" He asks
"Yeah bud, it's me," I reply and once again run my fingers through his hair
"You came to check on me," He sighs
I sit on the edge of his bed and he moves to lay his head on my lap.
"What's going on buddy?" I ask
"This is the first time someones touched me in while," He whispers
How'd could I forget? How could I let this happen? Jon thrives off of physical contact and because of everything that's been going on, he's touch starved.
"I'm sorry Jon, I'm really really sorry," I tell him
"It's fine," Jon says
"No it's not, why didn't you say anything?" I ask
"I didn't wanna be a burden, you've had way to much stuff on your plate, you didn't need to worry about me," He says
"Jonathan look at me," I say
He turns his head and looks up at me.
"It doesn't matter how much your mom and I have on our plates, you can always tell us what's going on and if your feeling touch starved," I tell Jon
He nods his head.
"How about we go to your mom and I's room and watch some TV," I suggest
Jon nods his head and fallows me to Lois and I's room. I turn on the TV and change it to Supernatural. Suddenly my phone rings and it's Lois.
"Hey honey," I say
"I got Jordan and Sarah bailed out of jail and they're on their way over and I'm spending the night at Lana's," Loise tells me
"Okay and don't worry, Jons fine," I say with a bite behind it
"Okay see you in the morning," She repsonds
I hang up without saying goodbye.
"Jodana and Sarah are on their way over," I tell Jonathan
"Okay," He says sadly
I know he's hurt that Lois didn't ask how he was doing.
"She's still a little upset with everything that's happend, but trust me she loves both you and Jordan," I tell him
He nods silently. I sit on the bed and he curls up until his head's resting over my heart. I feel so bad that I let things get this bad with him. I can't go and fix things the only thing I can do now is to make sure he feels loved and gets enough physical contact.
