The song has nothing to do with the chapter but I've been listening to it on repeat for like 3 weeks and you should deffo listen to it too if you haven't already

Simon began to move around a lot while sleeping while Josh continued reading the letters.
They'd really got to him and he couldn't help but let tears fall.

''Why are you crying?'' Simon suddenly asks, making Josh jump.

''N-No reason..'' He quickly says, rubbing his eyes to dry them.

''You don't cry for no reason, Josh''

He stayed silent for a few minutes while Simon sat up and stretched his arms out.

''I read them.'' He says and Simon looks at him.

''Y-You did?'' He stutters and Josh nods.

They sat in silence while he uncomfortably fiddled with his fingers.

'I...'' Josh speaks up and Simon looks at him confused.

''I don't hate you.''

''You have a right to hate me. I messed up everything. I don't understand why you're here after everything I've done.''

''Even if you made mistakes I could never hate you.'' He said which made Simon smile.

He picked up the fifth letter in the box and read it.

Dear Josh,

I'm worried about JJ.

Have you heard from him?

Is he okay?

He couldn't read on as the memories flooded back to him like lightning.

''JJ..'' Josh mumbled, reading it over again.

''What?''

''JJ's not okay.'' He says, giving the letter to Simon and his mood completely changing.

''What? How do you know? What happened? Where is he? Why-''

''He's in a mental hospital.''
