Before starting, I do not support the artist in the banner, I dislike their whole webtoon comic and characters, I just found it funny.
Title of this Chapter: focus
Jake's POV:
Everything has been so quiet between both Zander and Luke, they stopped trying to reach out to me all together. Did they give up on me? Why does it hurt, I don't like this feeling, it makes me sad. But if they don't want to talk to me thats their choice, maybe I should leave them be.. but some part of me wants to talk to them but I'm so terrified I would destroy everything we have together by accidentally spilling everything and telling what I feel about them, I wish I could just rewind time and stop myself from either befriending them or crossing their path. Everytime I see them get sad or mad over me breaks my heart and makes me feel guilty, especially when I see they lost hope in me, did I do something so terribly wrong that they stopped talking to me? They seem fine now, just more empty..
I thought as I curled up on my bed and looked at my phone, I saw a notification from Hailey. I looked at the message she sent and read "Jake, you up?" I go ahead and open my messenger app to go ahead and reply to her.
{Text messages(phone POV).}
(H is Hailey and J is Jake)
H: Jake, you up?
J: As far as I'm aware, yes, I am. And why are you up at 12 am?
H: Same question goes to you buddy, but is there something up with the three of you?
J: ?
H: Yknow... You, Luke, and Zander.. all of you seem to just be avoiding eachother, something up?
J: Oh, its nothing, I swear. Oh, by the way Hailey, I was gonna ask you this tmr since I thought you were sleeping but can I take a break from the Music Club for a while?
H: Again? Sure, but what for this time?
J: Personal needs, can't really tell.
H: Its fine, I get it. Just make it back next week, we need to rehearse more stuff!
J: Yes, yes, I'll come back ofc.
H: Alright, see you then, Jake.
J: Byeee!!
{End of conversation}
Jake's POV:
I turned off my phone and looked at the ceiling slowly drifting off to sleep.
Jake's dream(nightmare):
I'm at the school's hallway, why? Aren't my dreams usually of Daisy or having fun with the music club? The only reason why I know this is a dream is because I would have my phone with me right now, but I don't.
I start walking around, it seems like a loop, so surreal. I soon came to a stop when I saw Luke and Zander infront of me, their faces seemed strange but otherwise they're pretty recognizable. This is getting weird fast.
I get closer and closer to them and as I keep getting closer I hear whispers, I try to listen closely to try and hear what they're saying but everytime I do try it seems to just get quieter, but everytime I get closer it gets louder.
I tap on Zander's shoulder, he slowly turns to look at me, his face is gone, all I could see was his mouth.
"Its your fault, maybe if you stayed quiet we could've been happier, Jake." I hear Zander say.
My heart sinks in fear, my eyes widening.
"..I-..What?" I reply as I stared at him in horror, what was happening?
Zander then pushes me, I fall down, out of fear and shock I just stay there. I look up at them as I hear Luke speaking.
"Jake, if only you never met us we would've been living happily, but you just seem to like seeing people suffer more and you like seeing your feelings crumble." He said
They sounded so emotionless, it was terrifying, they were saying things they would never say, at least not infront of me. Soon the whispers became louder.
"It's your fault, Jake. Maybe if you kept your mouth shut your life wouldn't be in pieces, you are pathetic, you are useless, you are reckless, you are selfish, you are the definition of negativity. You will never be good enough for anybody, the only thing you'll ever be good enough is being dead." Those words kept getting repeated through both Luke and Zander's mouth, I felt so useless and defenseless. What did I say to them that made them so mad? I'm so scared, they're getting louder.

I suddenly wake up with sweat all over me, disgusting but it was whatever. I got up to shower, before I did go shower I look in the mirror I look at myself, I feel some presence behind me, a black figure, no, 2 black figures, they look like Zander and Luke. They were something, but I couldn't tell what they were, I know they're some type of entity. Maybe its fine, maybe its nothing. But I feel some weird type of pressure.
I shower, doing my normal routine, nothing seemed off but everytime I look in the mirror I feel so upset. I felt as if someone was trying to tell me horrible things, like the type of words that would make someone easily uncomfortable.
As I finished my morning routine I went and grabbed a juice box I was just thinking of maybe going outside for some fresh air
Suddenly, I hear a knock at my door.
"COMING!" I yelled out, running towards the door to open it. It was Zander and Lu- huh?

.. What..the fuck..
"Hey Jake, you okay there?" Luke asks seeming quite worried since Jake looks a bit spaced out
"Yeah I'm fine, just a bit tired.." he replied with a slightly scared tone.
Jakes thoughts: "ah, I was sort of daydreaming.."
[Cliffhanger]

Zander's POV:
Jake's been acting quite strange, stranger than usual actually. Somethings off about him, has he been getting sleep? I should probably just talk to him instead of worrying so much, I feel like Luke has taken anotice by this.
"Anyways hey Zander, and Luke. What are you guys doing here?" He asked.
"Just checking up on you, can we not?" Zander replied, while raisng an eyebrow.
"Well, I'm not saying that its wrong.. just asking." Jake said with a nervous tone in his voice.
"Hey, maybe we should go to the park! I heard they fixed the swings there so I was thinking we should go to the park." Luke said happily with a smile.
