{ JAKES POV }

I hate this . I hate being vulnerable . I hate feelings . I hate crying . I hate venting . I hate being useless . I hate being a selfish prick . I hate me .

I'm pretty sure that I've been crying on Drew for about - I don't know - 15 minutes , I believe ? Why is he even here ? Why is he comforting a stupid , useless , unimportant , human being ? Does he feel bad ? Pity me ? I don't want to be pitied . I want to be normal . Why can't I be normal ?

I hate this so much .

Although , as much as I don’t want to admit it , I am kind of comfortable . .

{ THIRD PERSONS POV }

By the time that Drew's anger had calmed down ( It didn't ) , Jake was drifting off into dreamland . He found himself comfortable in his embrace - which is very rare - and loved the warmth .

Only minutes later of silence and calmness did Drew actually notice the sleeping boy that happened to be resting in his arms .

He didn't want to wake him up . He could - and would - stay like this forever if possible , but they both need to get going . Or , everyone else could , I don't know , maybe abruptly barge into the room perhaps ?

Makes sense .

" What the hell happened !? " Henry , Jake's best friend , asked / yelled , voice full of worry . " Shhh ! " He hushed . Wasn't it clear that they had a sleepy peach on their hands . . ?

Henry has absolutely no control over the volume of his voice . Nor his attention span , for that matter , actually . .

" Some . . things happened . . and . . I'll tell you guys later . Right now , we gotta get this thing home . " He says , pointing to Jake - who is still sleeping - on his lap .

" I HEARD YELLING , WHAT'S GOING ON ?? " Liam yells while running into the room after his boyfriend . ' Oh . My . Fucking . God . ' Henry elbows him , " Shush ! Can't you see Jake sleeping ? "

" Oh . My bad dudes ! "

" What's going on in here ? "

" AH !! HOLY SHIT . . Lia , you scared the hell out of me !! "

" And I ain't sorry . " Lia says , really not caring until she sees Jake on Drew's lap ( HELP . . 😭😭😭 ) sleeping .

" Oh my god ! What happened to him ? Is he ok ? Do I need to get some help ? Can I call someone ? Will he be ok ? What's going on ? " Lia rambled as she got closer and picked Jake off Drew and put him in front of her , putting her hands through his hair .

" He'll be ok . " Drew said while standing up and grabbing Jake back and away from Lia , putting him on his back so they could get out of the school . . And he might have been jealous . But don't tell anyone ! He can NOT afford to lose his bad boy image .

Drew started walking out of the club room . “ WAIT UP ! “ He heard .

How could they ? The only reason anyone was going to the stupid show was because of Jake , so why did they do that ? What was the reason ?

No .

Those aren't the right questions .

Who the fuck do they think they are ? Yelling at him ? Calling him that stuff ? They should be saying that about themselves , not him . Are they stupid ?

Will Jake be ok . . ?

34 MINUTES LATER .

The Jomies had already gotten to Drew's house , and they were playing Mario Cart when Jake woke up .

Not wanting to disturb or distract anyone , he quietly and quickly made his way out the door and in the hallway . While walking to the ballroom , he looked at the pictures on the walls .

Not many pictures of Drew's parents . . Or any pictures of any sort at all . . Hm .

Jake , while in the bathroom , felt a wave of emotions hitting him . The only people who accepted him for his interests , threw him away like trash . But , didn't Zander stand up for him ? Maybe he should give him a call . . Yea , that's a good idea .

He searched and padded his jeans for his phone , till he found it in his back pocket . He pulls it out and unlocks to show a photo of him , his dog , and his little brother , watching Frozen 2 .

He smiled as the memory played in his mind . He then opened the call app to find “ The Fruity Twink “ as he snickers . He presses the call button and waits for the line to pick up .

[ ZANDERS POV ]

Oh my fucking god . I just spent a good fuckin ‘ 2 HOURS lecturing her . I need a god damned moment to myself .

I lay down and scroll through my phone until I get a call from “ That Gayass Simp “ . The fuck is he callin ‘ me for ?

. . I should probably answer , given what happened today .

I press the answer button and immediately start talking , knowing what he is going to ask . “ No , it is not your fault , no , I don't hate you , no , I am not going to justify her actions , and yes , I'm ok . “

There's silence on the other end . “ How did you - “ “ Because I know you . Obviously . “ I hear laughter on the other end .

Good . I start laughing too . He's ok .

“ Alright well , I spent the last 2 hours yelling at Hailey , so I'm tired . I'm going to sleep , if you need anything else tell me now . “

“ Haha , no no , that's all I needed . Thanks Zander . “

“ No problem . Bye . “ I hang up .

{ DREWS POV }

“ And that is how you win . “ I say to Henry , who was snuggling with Liam .

“ Cool ! Is Jake awake yet ? “ He asks .

Good question . I turn to see him walking through the door . I signal him to come over . He does and I pull him down to the bean bag and put a blanket over us .

Lia turns off the lights . I wanna sleep .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

So .

Uh . . Hi !

I'm really sorry , I've been procrastinating too much .

Hope you guys liked this !
