The support system

Jay's pov :

I just woke up to find Aidan staring at the wall lost in his thoughts and I'm not going to lie he's scaring me because he's usually the sunshine in our friendship and I just don't know how to act on these situations. Then i finally remembered something this brat played me and putted me in a very awkward situation the other day with Sissel, " Aidan you're dead ".

Aidan's pov :

I was so deep in my memories when I suddenly heard Jay screaming that I'm dead I didn't even notice him and now I can't find a place to hide at so the plan is staying here and praying for my soul. " It was on a good intention I swear and stop acting like you didn't like it ", I tried not to say a thing but I can't help it to be honest my words would find a way to come out. After 15 minutes of running around the apartment we finally fell to the ground next to each other trying to catch our breath that was insane.

" I surely liked it but I was stressed out ", hold on now is he finally admitting it ? " excuse me am I hearing well ? so you have a crush on her ", in a matter of seconds all i can feel is pain on my arm this crazy person hit me so hard. " Ouch you can't do that " " Of course i can now shut up ".

So, long story short he's not admitting it to me but I think he's on the process of getting on terms with his feelings and this is a big progress for someone like Jay, so no complains at this point.

Jacob's pov :

I'm so tired of this lifestyle i can't believe that I need to work another part time job just to get my essentiels, but the final shift for this day is at the cafe so hopefully it won't be so bad.

I got in and the first thing i saw was Jay standing there with his cold face cleaning the back of the shop, i swear that he reminds me of myself somehow even though we're different, but I'm glad that he's opening up for me I like to be his advisor because i know how life can be shitty especially for a young boy like him. I entered and greeted him and the other co-worker and both of them replied with a lifeless tone.

Half an hour into the shift and I'm already dizzy I haven't been sleeping well for the last couple of days and it started to show. My vision is getting blurry and I can't stand up anymore, it was getting worse and worse than all of the sudden everything was pitch black and i was laying on the floor.

Jay's pov :

After the running in the apartment with Aidan I had to go to the practice so I made sure that he had something to do instead of looking at the wall and thinking about Diana the whole day. And the only thing that i could've think of was movies so i gave him a long list then i left the house to go to the boxing club my favorite place.

Three hours later I had my shift on the cafe so I went there and started working, Jacob came kind of late today and he looked so pale I noticed that yesterday too but I thought that it was because of the tiring day at work or something and because it was night time it made sense to me but now he looks sick. I had a lot of cleaning to do so I was going to talk to him about it later and while i was so busy with cleaning the tables i heard a loud bang, someone fell for sure. I went to the source of the sound because Jacob was the last person i saw in that area and I was right it was Jacob laying there on the ground unconscious, I freaked out a bit because I'm not used to this kind of situations but I had to act fast so I was trying to wake him up by slapping his face gently and pouring some cold water on his face.

After a couple of minutes Jacob was finally awake but still looked so sick. " Are you better now ", he's clearly not fine but i just didn't know what to say other than that, he weakly nodded and I felt bad for him so I told the manager that I'll be taking him home and because there wasn't a lot of work that day he accepted easily and just like that we were out. " I can go home by myself Jay thank you for your concern ", is he kidding ? that boy can't even walk without me helping him and he wants to go home by himself sorry Jacob that ain't going to happen, " Not on my watch bro, where do you live ?".

Jacob's pov :

I woke up to find Jay there showering me with cold water to wake up, I can't believe that i passed out at work. I was still feeling dizzy so i was so glad when i heard that the boss gave me this day off and now Jay is going to be the one taking me home. I tried to convince him that I can go home on my own but he's not letting me go, and to be honest i can't even go by myself i don't know why i was trying to do it.

I gave him the address to the studio that i was living in and he took me there and got inside with me, " I didn't know that you live on your own, sorry ", I heard Jay saying once we entered. " Yes I do and I don't know why you're sorry". " I just felt like being sorry, anyway lay down and eat well and get you some sleep you're so pale", he's right I look like a zombie now i need to have some rest, he stayed for a while than he went to his place saying that he'll be visiting me tomorrow, funny how I was trying to be his support system and he ended up being the support system that I needed.

Jay's pov :

I feel sorry for Jacob, I didn't know that he was alone he looked so cheerful all the time and to see him that weak and miserable breaks my heart i swear, his place is so small and in the very dangerous part of the city. I really hope he can get over his sickness and over this entire unhealthy lifestyle.
