Lloyd: Jay...
Jay: what is it Lloyd?
Lloyd: why did you cut?
Jay: what?
Lloyd: why did you cut?
Jay: um...I don't really like talking about this.
Lloyd: nobody tells me anything. I keep asking things
Lloyd: but Zane is confused too and Kai is super protective and keeps trying to shelter me and Cole is really vague
Lloyd: and Nya...😬
Lloyd: I just want to know why! Why would anyone hurt them self?
Jay: the fact that you don't get it is a good sign Lloyd...I used to be the same way.
Jay: I thought heartbreak was fake and depression was just some weird long word I'd heard once or twice. I thought I'd never hurt myself, who would do that?
Jay: at least I'm not dumb anymore
Lloyd: Jay...what happened to you? I've never heard you so bitter!
Lloyd: you're always the one who cheers everyone else up. Without you, we're nothing. Just a group of random teens with powers who can't seem to talk to each other.
Lloyd: We need you!
Jay: nobody needs me.
Lloyd: Kai told me you were feeling better!
Jay: it comes and goes. Earlier I laughed. Now I don't feel like doing anything.
Lloyd: okay, mopey. I am going to cheer you up!
Lloyd: uh, I have a joke
Lloyd: there were two cookies in the oven. One cookie said, "Boy, it's hot in here!"
Lloyd: then the other said, "AAH! A TALKING COOKIE!"
Jay: amateur.
Lloyd: hey, I'm trying okay? I can't stand seeing anyone like this. Why can't you be Jay again?
Jay: I am Jay. I have the same name, the same body, the same brain.
Jay: I just don't feel like I'm capable of happiness anymore. I try so hard to keep the depression at bay but it's taken over my life. I don't feel like trying anymore.
Lloyd: what can I do?
Jay: nobody can do anything about it. This isn't something you can zap away with green power.
Jay: I've known you since you were 9 and the only way you know me is fun. But there is so much more.
Jay: and the "more" is the reason why I cut.
Lloyd: Jay, why do you say so many bad things about yourself?
Jay: because I'm saying the truth. I hate when people lie because it never ends well. Nya lied when she told me she liked me the way I am. Cole lied when he said he always had my back.
Jay: I like to fool myself into believing lies. Especially the lies I tell myself.
Lloyd: You like the truth?
Lloyd: Okay, my truth is that I'm scared. I'm scared because you're the happiest person I've ever met. You stay positive through almost anything, and now it's like someone flipped your personality!
Lloyd: is this what puberty does? Cause if it is I'm not excited!
Jay: I already went through puberty! I'm 17!
Lloyd: wait
Lloyd: did you just use an exclamation point?
Jay: I did!
Jay: oh no...gosh...eep
Lloyd: what?
Jay: uh, my medication just kicked in
Jay: took it long enough!
Jay: yeesh, sorry I got all 'depressed Jay' on you!
Jay: just forget all that stuff I just said, it's nothing!
Lloyd: are you sure?
Jay: yeah. Nothing to worry about, blondie! 😇
Lloyd: You know I can handle stuff, right? I'm your age.
Jay: it's seriously nothing!
Lloyd: okay. But I'm here if you want to talk at someone. I won't judge you for anything you say.
Jay: why? All everyone ever does is judge!
Lloyd: You're my friend. And that's not something I take lightly!
Jay: thx
Jay: besties?
Lloyd: besties
Lloyd: btw, Kai is yelling at me that you have to talk to Nya
Jay: why do I have to talk to Nya?
Lloyd: she's all weird.
Jay: ok
Lloyd: hey, I have some extra blue m&m's. You want them?
Jay: ummm YESS
Lloyd: 😂 that's some good medicine

Cole: ... This is the dot gif that means someone is typing in iMessage
Cole:
Cole: ...
Cole:
Cole: ...
Jay: COLE IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY JUST SAY IT!!!
Cole: what?
Jay: you keep doing the three dots texting me thing and then it goes off and then it goes on again and you're driving me nuts so either stop it or spit it out!!! 😫😫😫😫
Cole: sry I stressed u out so much...
Jay: oh great, more sarcasm? What are you going to do next, ask me if there's a cure for my crazy?
Jay: or are you just going to be straightforward and send me a picture of Nya crying in your arms?
Cole: 😞 Jay...
Jay: save it, dirt brain. I don't want to hear whatever you have to say to me.
Jay: I'm not it the mood to have another meltdown. My pillow's still drying from the last one.
Cole: agh, Jay!
Jay: noises of disgust? I guess that's to be expected.
Cole: no!
Jay: I really don't know what your problem is
Jay: but I'm done with your abuse
Cole: ...
Cole: I'M SORRY!
Jay: ha
Cole: it's the truth! I'm sorry for being so mean to you all the time!
Cole: we're supposed to be brothers but all I ever did was tear you down.
Jay: at least you got that right.
Cole: I AM TRYING TO BE NICE HERE
Cole: anyway, I feel horrible about what happened.
Jay: oh SUUURE
Jay: you said the same thing when you stole Nya but that didn't stop you from stepping all over my heart, did it?
Cole: 😞😑😠😣😤😩 I'm telling the truth!
Jay: I bet you're snickering while typing this
Jay: eating cake and laughing about Jay, it's so funny when he cries. He takes four different medications but that doesn't hide how crazy he is! He's just trailer trash, born and raised in a junkyard, it's pretty apparent.
Jay: such a joke for thinking any girl would ever love him. So bad at everything he tries, it's almost an art.
Cole: What are you talking about?
Jay: you don't think I've been bullied before? I know how bullies think!
Cole: Jay, I never intended to drive you over the edge. I didn't show self-restraint, and I'm sorry for that.
Cole: I know how you feel, and nobody should have to go through that.
Jay: how could you ever know how I feel?
Cole: I'm more like you than you think.
Jay: we're nothing alike.
Jay: for example, Nya is in love with you.
Cole: Jay you are so stupid sometimes!
Jay: AND I WAS STARTING TO BELIEVE YOUR APOLOGY! 😠😠😠
Cole: Nya doesn't love me, okay? There's nothing I can do to change that!
Cole: Nya loves you, and you love her, and you both will never be happy until you stop being so damn oblivious and just admit you have feelings for each other!
Jay: I don't understand you, like, at all
Jay: why did you save my life?
Cole: because I realized how selfish I am.
Cole: now go be happy with Nya.
Cole: you should really kiss her or something.
Jay: what about you?
Cole: what about me?
Jay: you're Nya's perfect match! And you can probably give her more than I ever will!
Cole: give yourself some credit.
Cole: now go walk over and kiss Nya or I will carry you there.
Jay: I don't know if I should go and just kiss her though...why would she even want that?
Cole: agh, you and Nya are the two most infuriating people I've ever met.
Cole: how obvious do I have to be?
Cole: NYA LOVES YOU.
Cole: SHE TALKS ABOUT YOU IN HER SLEEP
Jay: whoa, whoa, whoa there. How do you know what Nya does in her sleep?
Cole: I watched her in the hospital, okay? It's beside the point.
Cole: NYA WANTS TO KISS YOU
Cole: now bye
Jay: Cole?
Jay: Cole?
Jay: You know I hate when you mansplain things right?
Jay: Why are you so willing to give up Nya?
Jay: I bet it's cause you don't think she's good enough for you.
Jay: WELL SHES GOOD FOR ME MISTER
Jay: darn Cole.
Jay: why do you have to be so nice?
Jay: I had psyched myself up to hate you for eternity!
Jay: I mean, c'mon! You can't just change the game like that!
Jay: I wasn't ready!
Jay: I'm not even a good kisser!
Jay: I can't just randomly sweep Nya off her feet! I'm not strong enough!
Cole: stop stalling and man up, Walker.
Cole: also, quit spamming me. I'm trying to focus on my cake pops.
Jay: you're eating 5 in a row aren't you?
Cole: 6 actually
Cole: BYE JAY
Jay: bye....
Jay: 😕 I really don't get you
Cole: I hear that a lot.
Jay: Cole....
Jay: thank you
Cole: ...
Cole:
