Chapter 42

Jason: I took the suitcases and brought them upstairs.When I came down, he was frozen on the floor. "Can I get you sth. to drink?" Janna asked worried.Tre looked at her but somehow didn't know how to answer the question. "Come on, mate, have a seat.And then please tell me what's going on." Janna made Tre some tea and sth. to eat. "I'll leave you both alone.Tre, please eat and drink.And whatever it is, you know you can stay as long as you want, our door is always open for you," Janna said thoughtfully.She stroked his shoulder encouragingly and showed me with a wave that I should talk to him and make sure that he eats and drinks.Janna went upstairs.It took Tre a while to calm down.He told me what had happened without showing any emotion.His gaze was fixed on the wall, his eyes wide.He found it hard to concentrate.When I heard about Sara, I didn't know how to react. I was a little glad that Janna didn't hear the conversation. She wasn't always thrilled with how Tre treated her. But she also knew that he was doing this out of pain. He has been chasing after his first love for almost 15 years. But I know Tre, even if he had never really understood it himself, I knew that he was in love with Sara. It looks like he now seems to have understood it... We sat together and talked a lot. At some point he fell asleep quietly on the couch. Janna brought him some blankets and pillows...

The next morning I let Tre sleep in and told Janna that I would stay with Tre today. It was actually our day off... but luckily, as always, she was understanding. I am a lucky guy!! "Get up brother, let's have a man's day today." Tre was grumpy but got up. He needed a friend. And I'll always be there for him. Even if his mood wasn't exactly the best, I knew that I could straighten it out again. "What are you up for? football? There's a game in the arena," Tre growled annoyed... "No". "How was that? Football and hot dogs? I would love it to!!" I said with a grin as I drove down the street. "Today I will not accept a No. Today we have a Tre day, everything your heart desires. Donuts? Chocolate milk? As a dessert?" I asked teasingly. And I noticed how I managed to get a little smile out of Tre...
