Alesa grabbed Mitchell's arm.

"Mitchell—" He pushed her hand off him.

"Leave me alone!" Mitchell snapped at her. Alesa ran in front of him, almost making him crash into her, but he stopped, looking at her. She touched his arms.

"Stop pushing everyone away. You'll feel better if you talk to us." Alesa said. Mitchell's hands balled into fists.

"There's nothing to talk about," Mitchell said. Alesa gripped his arms.

"That's a load of bull and you know it. You were crying a few moments ago, don't you dare try to deny it!" Alesa said. Mitchell stared at her for a second, he looked away.

"I j-just want to be a-alone, is that r-really too much to ask?" He asked, his voice cracking. Alesa's eyes soften and she nodded.

"Yeah...considering you are upset. Why didn't you tell us? Why didn't you say anything to us? We would have helped you, you aren't alone—"

"We are alone, Alesa." He said.

"No, we aren't. We have each other and you would know that if you stop pushing people away when they try to help you." She said. Her hands move slowly down his arms. "So stop burying how you feel deep down, it isn't good for you to do that." Her hands touch his making his cheeks turn a light shade of pink before he pulls his hands away. He looked away from her.

"I-I'm fine." Mitchell stuttered. Alesa frowned.

"Really? You stuttered, Mitchell." She said. His eyes look at her, then looked away.

"Leave me alone." He mumbled as he walked past her. She turned around, she tried to grab his arm but a hand grabbed her wrist, stopping her. She looked beside her seeing Inshire Jerome.

"Let me talk to him." He said. Alesa looked away.

"Did I say something wrong or—"

"No, it isn't you. It isn't as easy as it is for some guys to talk about feelings like it can with some girls. So....maybe Ty should talk to him." Jerome said. Alesa nodded.

"Yeah." She said.

Mitchell didn't respond to the knock of the door, he just stayed laying in bed, his back to the door. There was another knock, Mitchell stayed silent. It opened, Inshire Ty holding Jeffrey in his arms came in. He shut the door behind him.

"Hey, can we talk?" He asked. Mitchell didn't answer, Ty put Jeffrey on the bed. The little piglet sniffed Mitchell's leg, he crawled over it and walked around over into Mitchell's view. Mitchell looked at him, the little pig sat, tilting his head making Mitchell smile at his adorableness. Ty sat on the bed. "Mitchell—" Mitchell loses his smile, he looks back down at his lap.

"Can we not? I just want to be left alone." He said.

"No, you helped me through Jason's death, and I'm sorry I ignored how you felt. I didn't think of it, I'm sorry. You shouldn't have to bury it down like this, you—"

"It's fine, Ty. I'm used to doing this. Can we drop this subject now?" Mitchell snapped. Ty tensed up, he was about to give in when he stopped. He looked at Mitchell and then at Jeffrey. Ty looked at Mitchell and then back at Jeffrey. Jeffrey stood, he went over to Mitchell, he wedged himself between Mitchell's arms and his stomach, he looked at the pig as Jeffrey snuggled in against Mitchell, closing his eyes and drifting asleep. Mitchell stared at the pig, he hesitantly scooped him up and pulled him up against his chest, hugged the little pig tight, his eyes closed, tears coming out. Ty looked at Mitchell. Mitchell wiped his tears away, he let go of Jeffrey and sat up, looking at Ty. "Are you really going to follow Sky?" Ty nodded.

"Yeah, he is the Minecraftia version of Adam and besides, Adam was mind-controlled to the point that he can barely function by himself now. So lay off of Adam..and Ian as well. Ian helped the people, he almost never followed the Squid King's orders. Plus...do you have any ideas on reclaiming Blackwell?" Ty asked. Mitchell shook his head. "That's what I thought. This is what Jason wanted, to reclaim the kingdom, and it is our jobs to make sure that happens since he cannot do it himself." Mitchell looked away. Jeffrey nudged Mitchell's arm.

"What about James? He is mad as a hatter." Mitchell said. Ty bit his bottom lip.

"Minecraftia Seto can deal with him. We can't do this without you, we can't. So...please help us...if you won't do it for them, do it for Jason. This is what the three of us wanted since before Jason died." Ty said. Mitchell glanced at Ty, he paused, thinking.

"Fine..." He said. Ty smiled.

"Thanks. You okay now? You want to be alone or--"

"I'm fine," Mitchell said. Ty nodded.

"Okay. Come on." Ty said as he picked up Jeffrey, Mitchell gets up. Ty looked at Mitchell. "And one last thing, can you try to get along with Sky? He is a really cool guy when you get to know him." Mitchell looked at Ty.

"I'll try." He said. Ty smiled again.

"Okay, come on," Ty said. They walk out into the hallway. Jeffrey oinked at Mitchell. Mitchell looked at him, he pets the pigs head. Jeffrey pushed his head into Mitchell's hand making him smile.

"He is pretty adorable," Mitchell said. Jeffrey squealed.

"Jeffrey, there you are." A voice said. Ty looked ahead, he puts Jeffrey down and Jeffrey runs to Jason. Jason crouched down and picked Jeffrey up. Jeffrey oinks at him and puts his head against Jason's chest. Jason looked at Mitchell. Mitchell looked at him.

"Where's Sky?" He asked. Jason bit his bottom lip a bit.

"Talking to Barney. Like he should be. You okay?" He asked. Mitchell nodded.

"Jason!" A voice from inside the room said. Jason looked back in and went inside, Ty and Mitchell followed. Mitchell stopped looking at Felicia on her feet, holding Adam as he was sat up. Jason puts Jeffrey on the bed, Ty came over.

"Let me help," Ty said. Felicia looked at him and Ty and Jason gently made Adam lay back down. Adam's eyes opened up, looked at Ty. Ty smiled a bit. "Welcome back man." Ty saw Adam smile a bit. Ty's eyes widen. "He smiled." Ty looked at Felicia. "Has he--" She shook her head.

"No..all he does is sleep and cough his lungs out. He's never sat up, spoke, or smiled. He's barely moved at all." She said. Adam's eyes closed, Jason grabbed Ty's arm, pulling him away. Felicia touched him. "Adam, hun, you awake?" Adam's eyes opened, Felicia took up his view. He smiled weakly.

"F-Fe....l-licia." He barely mumbled. Her eyes widen a bit before watering. His hands touched her cheek, wiping away her tears as he smiled the best he could, which wasn't much but was still something. She grabbed his arm, leaning into his hand.

"Adam." She said. More tears come down her cheeks. "Adam!" She hugged him, burying her face into the crook of his neck. Adam groaned, his eyes closing as his arm rested across her back. She ran her hand down his arm and squeezed his hand. Jason smiled.

"So he isn't as broken as we thought." He said. Ty looked at him.

"What do you mean?" He asked. Jason looked at Ty.

"The fact he can move and talk are great signs. It means that he can still be saved, he isn't too far gone as everyone thought." He said. Felicia sat up, looking at Jason.

"What do I do? How do I help him?" She asked quickly. Jason looked at her.

"Calm down, we'll figure it out. He won't be like this forever, he'll be himself again soon." He reassured. Felicia looked at Adam. She gave him a smile, Ty looked at Jason.

"He needs a change in scenery." He said. Jason nodded, agreeing.

"I agree. Mitchell—oh...he's gone." Jason said looking at the door. Ty looked over, seeing Mitchell gone too. Felicia pecked a kiss on Adam's nose, his eyes looking at her.

"You're gonna be okay, I'll be by your side." She said. Adam coughs and groans, his eyes closed and she smiled a hit, rubbing his arm. "Rest." She looks at Jason. "What's the plan? How is Adam gonna be himself again?"

"Removed from this place and put in a different environment," Ty said. Felicia stared at Ty.

"What?" She questioned. Jason sighed.

"He needs to be somewhere were James and them cannot find them. Ian wants to help you with Adam if that is okay with you." He said. Felicia nodded.

"Yeah, it is fine with me." She said. Jason looked at Ty as Felicia felt Adam's fingers touch her hand. She looked at him, her fingers go through his, squeezing his hand as she touched his chest. Adam's eyes opened to a slit, looking at her. She gave him a smile. "I'll look after you, I won't leave your side ever again."
