Impassivity - Staying calm without showing emotions.

JAKE'S POV

And there it was. That feeling of falling in slow-motion, like I was weightless and drifting through an endless void. My eyelids pulled themselves together as I felt my chest getting tighter, but not like it hurt. I took a deep yet slow breath in, allowing myself to appreciate this moment of euphoria.

Lexy : It hit you yet?

Jake : mhm.

And suddenly, I had been transported into a different me.

Jake : yeah... how strong is this?

Lexy : pretty fucking strong.

~~~

Me and Lexy stumbled out of the bathroom as the pills over took my body, almost forcing me to move in a dancing motion, like the music was over flowing my body.

DEVON'S POV

I watched Jake practically stomp his way down the stairs, his eyes seemingly focused on nothing, yet he had a smile on his face.

He came into the corridor I was standing in.

Devon : Jake?

He looked up and met my eyes, but there was something different about his eyes.

Jake : DEVON!

The boy threw himself onto me.

Devon : Jake, what the fuck are you doing?!

I got him off of me. He seemed a little saddened by it.

Devon : Sorry, just don't jump on me again please.

Jake : yeah I'm sorry.

He started walking off.

Devon : Where are you going?!

Jake : To go find a boy to fuck!

What the flying fuck? He's putting himself in so much fucking danger and for what?! Some dumb as shit asshole of a boy?!

I'm not letting that happen.

I grabbed his arm.

Devon : Um no you're not.

Jake : and why is that?

Devon : because we're going up stairs!

I dragged him through the crowds of people until we found an unoccupied room.

Jake sat on the bed.

Jake : Devon, what the fuck are you doing? There's a fucking party downstairs and we're just sat in this room together.

Devon : I'm keeping you from getting used by some asshole.

Jake : Do I look like I need protection?! And so what if I wanna go have some fun?

His eyes lit up in an almost maniacal way.

He stood up from the bed and inched closer to me.

Devon : What are you doing?!

Jake : You know Dev, there's no need to be jealous.

My face began to boil.

Devon : Jealous?! What makes you think I'm jealous?

Jake : Because, Devon Evans, you don't give a shit about me. And you're "protecting me from assholes?"... need I remind you of a story about a girl that YOU cheated on.

Devon : What?! So you think I'm just like every other asshole in this place?!

His voice became softer as he got close to me.

Jake : All I'm saying is if the shoe fits, wear it Cinderella.

I turned to walk out the room, but felt this force telling my body not to open the door.

I turned back around to the boy with a smirk on his face.

Devon : No. You know what Jake...

I stepped closer to him this time.

Devon : you can go fuck your self.

Jake : What?

Devon : You heard me. You're just too fucked in the fucking head to even realise that I actually do give a shit about you. Your perception of the world and people is so grotesquely messed-up that you think everyone is out to get you. I mean even Lexy.

He just stood there in shock.

Devon : So I suggest you take a good long look in the mirror and remember who the real people who care about you are and stop pouting about how much you fucking hate yourself like a little bitch! Wake the fuck up. 

Now I felt that weight lift off my shoulders, and that force keeping me here fade into nothing.

I turned around and left the room, slamming the door behind me.

LEXY'S POV

Devon came down the stairs.

Lexy : Dev, have you seen Jake?

He just looked at me in a way that could only be described as "I'm gonna fucking kill him."

Devon : He's up there.

He nodded towards the room.

Lexy : thank you... are you... um, okay?

He didn't reply, just walked past me.

Oh god.

I walked into the room Jake was in, hearing the music get muffled as the door closed.

I found Jake staring at his reflection, tears falling down his face slowly.

Lexy : What the fuck is going on?!

I sat on the bed and gestured him to join me.

Jake : I don't know.

Lexy : Then why is Devon looking royally pissed off.

Jake : we had a little argument is all.

Lexy : About?

Jake : I think he's an asshole and he thinks I'm crazy.

Lexy : Well why are you crying? You aren't crazy.

Jake : What? No I know I'm crazy, I'm crying because he's right, I have this constant feeling of distance... or loneliness... and it's my fault.

Lexy : Jake, one thing you will never have to worry about is being alone, because I am always here, I'm always going to be right here.

Jake finally lifted his eyes to meet mine before he pulled me into a tight hug. He started sobbing.

Jake : I love you Lex.

Lexy : Awhh, I love you too.

Jake : C'mon, there's a party to get to.

He laughed.

Lexy : THAT'S MA BOY!

He smiled to himself.
