"Hey, Jacques."
I was on the phone with Jacques after I'd finally finished my shift.
I was exhausted - I had to pay for Jacques' hospital fees, I had to balance work and school and I was so stressed.
I had to revise for my exams.
I was going to fail at... well, everything really.
"Hey, kid. How have you been?" He asked.
"Good. What about you?"
"Fucking terrible. What are you doing right now?"
"I just got off my shift, and I'm finally at home."
"Don't tire yourself out."
That was what he said. That's not what he meant. He needed the money, we both knew that.
"Okay," I lied.
"I have to eat now, okay? You do the same. Bye."
"Bye," I said softly, hanging up.
Instead, I dialled a different number, "Cory, can you come over?"

"Damn, is she actually a lesbian?"
"Yeah, we slept together." I replied.
She let out a low breath, "I'm surprised. Anyway, how do you feel?"
"Like shit. I am fucking exhausted. And I feel so guilty for telling everyone Jody is a lesbian."
"She had it coming. And you kept ot s secret for her before, she obviously triggered you." She reasoned, "do you want me to stay over?"
"Yes." I said.
I needed her.
Life was slowly becoming shit for me.
