Austin's POV, 5:00 PM.
--------
I'm sitting with Jack, calming him down. It had been a week since Ezra's murder, and jack hadn't processed it. He was shaking and holding back tears. me, on the other hand? I guess it didn't really affect me.. I don't know why. Well, I do know. But I never share my secrets.
Jack eventually calms down, he is staring at the floor, tears dripping off his face.
"..Are you alright?" I say, concern in my voice.
Jack just nodded.
"Dude, you havnt spoken since Ezra died, you need to say something."
"..." Jack didn't respond.
"I swear I'm going to kill you-" I stiffled a small laugh.
"Mm." Jack just made a small sound in response. He didn't seem to care at all.
I sigh and hug Jack, I know hard losing someone could be.. and seeing their dead body? Even worse. I know how bad that can be.
"..W-hy..? W-ho-.." Jack tried to speak, he slurred and stuttered over his words.
"I don't know, dude.. it's gonna be okay."
As Jack hugs Austin close, for once..
Everything feels like it's actually going to be okay.

Ryan's POV, 11:00 PM.
------------
I'm laying in bed, waiting to feel tired. I sigh before rolling over and looking at my phone: no notifications. This had become normal after Ezra died, I began to read his old texts to me and watching old videos. I fall asleep crying, and with a dreading feeling. As if this would be my last night of rest until the temporary sleep became forever.
