this is a very good story. however you have problems with missing words in sentences. I suggest reading the sentences out loud to yourself and adding the words that flow into the sentence. Other than that this is a great read. you have exceptional talent. Your characters are really well developed. I really enjoyed reading this. I can't wait to see more from you.
Other than a few grammatical errors and a few improvements needed on sentence structure, it holds up fine. However, the conversation between Jakes and his mother feels a bit stiff and unnatural. And like what the other comments had said, a bit more descriptions about the surroundings could really build the scene. It'd be pretty hard for us to imagine how a scene looks like if we don't have some descriptions to go from.
