9/01/21 2:00a.m
Jay opens his eyes slowly, his older brother smiles at him. He reaches out to touch him but as soon as he does he is pushed back. He closes his eyes tightly before reaching the ground. He opens his eyes slowly, the sound of sirens floods his ears. His heart races and he can't feel his left leg. He begins to panic, "Shilo !" He screams. His older brother laid next to him, his breath ridged. He sakes him, desperately trying to get a response. "Shilo please, please, please, please" he repeats over and over again. He feels his hands began to get sweaty despite the cold weather. "Please wake up!" Jay screams. Just before Shilo reaches out to him, he is pulled from the car. He screams," please he's still in there! Let me go!" His voice cracks with emotion. His chest feels heavy, he can't breathe. With every cry and scream his voice breaks and the ball in his throat doesn't make it easier to speak. . Jay places his hands over his ears and screams. The pain in his chest is too much for him to handle, in a split second he decides to break free of the two men hold him and rushes to the car. He sees a hand hanging out the side of the car, just before reaching it the car burst into flames.

Jay wakes up in a cold sweat, clutching his chest as he pants. He curls into a ball and places his hands over his ears, rocking himself back and forth. He can't hear anything, it feels as though he is back at the accident. He can feel the small cuts on his arms and the ringing in his ears. Everything. Feels. The. Same. "O-one, t-two, three, four," he continues until he reaches the number ten. His breath starts to steady and his vision becomes clear, he remembers that he's in his room. His phone vibrates loudly. He gathers the strength to move just a little to reach his phone. He turns it on with unprepared eyes. T sent a message to the group chat.
"Hey, guys I now it's really early I just wantted to say I made some changes to the presentation. hope y'all dont mind. Inkneewayz plz look at it my speellinv is pretty bad :) hav a good day!"

He lets out a shaky deep breath, he wants to smile but can't find the energy. Before he lays his phone back down another message pops up.
"Oh, you are up early. Don't worry about it I will take a look, you do the same." Vs message was baref and formal.
"Oh, he txt like a roobot too!!! Morning Beautiful ! Oooo and J is reading our messages to!!! What's that one thing that never comes out of hiding????? A Hermite??? Hermet? Hermit? Ur more like a cat tho. Here kitty kitty !!" It's like T doesn't take a breath when texting either. Jay's eyes widen, he's face get a pretty pinkish red. A feeling of embarrassment rushes over him, "how is she able to get me like this over text??" jay questions. He finally chuckles and replies," guys plz shut up, why are u up anyways?" he made sure to not seemed fazed in the message. However, as he lays in his bed the emotions of despair and fear were slowly being replaced by embarrassment and pure joy. Jay's tiredness is catching up to him, suddenly battling sleep he forces his eyes open to see their reply.
"I just got off of work so that y m up!! Didnt mean to wake up! It's 2 am huh??? Sorryz!!"

After a few back and forths between him and T, Jay finally drifted back to sleep. A small amount of weight was lifted from his chest when he spoke to them. It was like, even though they weren't there in person he knew he wasn't alone.

Vince
3rd person
2:00 am
He takes a deep sigh as he frantically types on his computer. He stretches his arms up and out. The room was filled with the noise of bones popping. "Done." He says satisfied while removing his glasses. He was up the entire night finishing his criminal Justice paper. Being a law student was hard, he didn't sleep much and he was always on the go. Vince hated it, he wanted less time studying and more time being a twenty-year-old college student. Dispite his feeling he knew what needed to be done, in order to surpass his father he need to work and not stop. Before going to sleep he goes to his bathroom to do his nightly routine. Starting with his teeth than his cleanser, then toner, serums, and night cream. He cared about his skin and always look presentable, no matter how busy he is he is never too busy to take care of his hygiene. His mental health was a different and "less import" topic in his eyes. Before laying down he goes into his top drawer and pulls out a pink pick-a-dotted bonnet. He has to keep it out of sight because if his dad finds it, he knows it will start an argument. He grabs his box and sits on his bed. Every night before sleeping he looks at the picture of his mother. He faintly smiles and holds it close to his chest, "I miss you so much it hurts." He says quietly. He places the box back in his hiding spot and lays down, before shutting his eyes he sees a text from T.
"Hey guys I now it's really early I just wantted to say I made some changes to the presentation. hope y'all dont mind. Inkneewayz plz look at it my speellinv is pretty bad :) hav a good day!"

He smiles at the obvious mistakes in her texting. He replies but there is an instant response. His face heats up and his chest gets tight. He quickly sits up and rubs his eyes to make sure he is seeing clearly. Still unsure he gets up to grab his glasses. "Morning Beautiful " he reads that phrase over and over again. It felt like it was out of the blue and it confused Vince in the best way possible. He ignores the rest of the conversation only looking at the word beautiful. "I s-she thinks I'm beautiful??????????" His brain draws a blank and he has trouble falling asleep. Every time his mind is set on sleeping he hears the word "beautiful" eco through his room. His tiredness defeats his sudden burst of energy and he eventually falls asleep.
