Jay found himself staring at the plants while walking. He can't help but think about what Hope told him earlier. Now, he's the one whose heart is breaking. He picked up his phone and called Will.
Calling...
[ON THE PHONE CONVERSATION]

Will: What's up, bro?

Jay: Meet me at our house. Thanks.

Will: Uhm, okay?

He's completely lost at the moment when he saw Will walking down their street. They live at the same street and that's great.

Will: Hey Bro. What's good?

Jay: Sup? Need to talk to you.

Will: Sure thing. Want some beer?

Jay: Nah, I'm good. Let's not make this any longer. If I were you, don't continue courting Rainie . You're hurting someone, you know.

Will: Man, if you're the one who's hurting, tell me immediately but I won't stop courting her.

Jay: It's not me, Will. It's Hope. Do you know how hard it is for me to see her cry because of you?! It's hard for me to see her like that because of you. Why can't you feel that she's hurting?!

Will: I'm a little lost. What are you trying to say, Jay?! She's a close friend of mine. She knows that I like Rainie!

Jay: She likes you, Will! Hope likes you! And I can't do anything for the one I love! I can't help her forget you because she likes you that much! All I can do is comfort her. I can't make her love me because I know she likes you and I respect her feelings for you!

Will: Are you trying to say that you want me to give up courting Rainie just for Hope? Man, I like Rainie. No matter what you say I won't stop courting her. I may sound jerk but..

Jay clenched his hands to prevent from punching Will.

Will: It is not my fault if Hope likes me. And also it is not my fault if she don't love you back.

Jay can't stand what Will is saying anymore so he punch him with all his might. That cause Will to fall down on the ground.

Jay: You don't know how hard it is for me, Will! Everytime Hope is talking to me about you! I once thought you were very lucky! That someone likes you even though you are a jerk! And you know what is the most heartbreaking? That someone is Hope!

Will get up while his nose is bleeding. He didn't fight him back.

Will: You don't know how hard it is for me too, Jay. To watch someone I love from afar. And I can't do anything but to watch her, because anytime I might put her in danger. So it is better to be like this because if I court her someone will be vulnerable.

Jay couldn't understand what he said. But he can see that it is someone that is really special to him. Will turned and started to walk away.

Will: You know who is that someone?

Will stopped from walking and turn around to Jay from distant.

Will: It's Hope...

Jay is froze in his position. Before he can react Will is now walking away
