Alfie found him later that day despite Jason's efforts to avoid anyone and anything.
"God you look terrible!" Alfie exclaimed coming to sit beside Jason at the bench.
"I feel terrible" Jason admitted but he didn't feel terrible for the right reasons...
"Yeah I saw Amelia...you know" Alfie said and Jason nodded with a weak laugh.
"Yeah..." Alfie looked confused, almost like he'd expected Jason to break down and cry.
"You wanna talk about it?" Alfie offered and Jason did want to talk about it, he felt like he might go mad talking to himself all the time.
"You see...I knew it was coming to an end I just didn't feel the same way about her as I once did...if that makes sense." Jason began, trying to pinpoint a specific thought out of the hundreds swirling in his mind.
"So you just stopped having feelings for her? That seems a bit odd to me."
"Well maybe I just wasn't seeing it before I mean...I thought I wanted to be with her but now I am certain that I don't! And my so called 'friends' why do I have such bad taste in people Alfie?" Jason cried running his hands through his hair in frustration.
"Yeah...those guys are dicks"
"But I was like those guys. I was a dick" Jason said, admitting something which had been nagging him at the back of his mind.
"Yeah was! The point is, you're not now." Alfie said reassuringly and he came round to sit beside Jason instead of opposite.
"Look Jason, you are a good guy okay. Don't let those people let you down" Alfie continued, sounding very sure of himself.
"What is it about me Alfie? What is it that makes you have so much faith in me? I mean you hardly know me..." Jason asked and Alfie looked serious for a moment as he thought.
"You just don't seem bad to me. Thats all." And with that they fell into a deep silence. Alfie stayed with Jason for the rest of the break and they parted to go to lessons.
Jason didn't see Alfie again that day and he felt annoyingly disappointed.
He hated to admit it...but he liked having someone there who cared about him. It was a nice change.
Alfie texted him after school trying to cheer him up and the conversation lasted until Jason reached his home and it continued until midnight when they both fell asleep typing.
