~ Chapter 4 ~
Warnings: Stress, overwhelmed
Third Person POV

They bang their head on their computer, letting it just lay there in defeat.

They didn't even look up when they heard a knock on the door and when they heard the person come into the room.

They felt warm tears stream down their face, hitting the computer keys with soft pings.

They felt someone rubbing their back gently. "Hey, love." Jack whispers, the frown on his face obvious, even though they weren't even looking at him.

They choke back a sob, trying to look back up at the computer.

The tears blurred their vision, the numbers on the computer mushing into each other and just looking like black and white nothing.

Their screen was definitely too bright for them to not have their blue light/prescription (whichever you are) glasses on.

Jack frowns, closing their computer.

They try to stop him. "Jack-"

"No." Jack shouts the computer fully. "As your boyfriend/best friend (whichever you prefer), I am forcing you to take a break."

More tears stream down their face. "But- but-" they choke out, sobbing quietly.

They pull their knees up against their chest on the chair, their shins also pressed against their desk.

Hiding their head in their knees, they sob silently.

Jack frowns, pulling them gently and slowly off of the chair and into his arms/lap.

Jack sits himself so he wasn't bending down, but actually sitting down this time, cradling them in his arms. "You need a break, love." He tells them softly. "You have less than a month left of school, you're almost done." He reminds him.

They dig their head in his chest, sobbing quietly.

Jack frowns more, leaning his back against the wall and resting his head on their shoulder as he just holds them.

And he'd hold them as long as they needed it.
