Gym Class Love [Book 1]

And I Will Try To Fix You

Mr. Dobson's P.O.V

I pulled up outside of the tiny apartment, and ran to the door. Throwing it open, I found a sobbing Jesse in the kitchen. "Jess, what the hell happened?" I asked gently taking the younger man in my arms. He couldn't talk he was crying so hard. I just stood there and held him, letting him cry into my chest. Don't be mistaken, I was still determined to win Chris back but that doesn't change the fact that a friend needed my help. I couldn't help but notice how small Jess's waist had gotten. Was he eating properly? "Are you ok?" I asked the obviously broken man in my arms. He responded by pulling away and telling me the most depressing thing I've heard in forever. "You were going to kill yourself?" I asked with shaking breath. "No, I-I just wanted the negative thoughts to stop." he whispered. I sighed, I wanted to help Jess but I had no clue how. "I think you need to tell Chris." I offered slowly, gauging his reaction. He shot up from the table, spilling his coffee. "If I do that, he'll leave me! I'm a mess, can't you see that! I have to fake a god damned smile everyday, because I don't want to fucking lose him! There's a reason my family never visited me in the hospital, it's because I'm fucking gay. They stopped talking to me when they found out! Chris is all I have, and I know you want him back! If I were gone, you could just have him!" he was screaming at me, and with every syllable I flinched. "I never knew you felt that way." a voice said from the hallway. Jesse and I both turned to see Chris, standing in the hall. Jesse had tears streaming from his face and ran past Chris into what I presumed was the bedroom, slamming the door. Chris and I locked eyes. "Go. He needs you." I said while getting up and showing myself to the door. No sooner had I said it than I heard Chris pleading with Jess to open the bedroom door. The front door closed behind me and a part of me hoped that Jesse would let him in. They're good for each other. I drove across town and picked up some Chinese take-out. Avoiding the evening traffic, I went home to my empty apartment and ate my food alone while watching the evening news. Finally climbing into bed that night, I couldn't help the tears that escaped my eyes. How did everything get so fucked up?

AN- My boys are all being affected by Jesse's months spent in the coma. Jesse feels like he's no longer good enough for Chris and is just a pity case, while Richard and Chris are watching their lover and friend slowly sink into a never ending depression. What's going to happen to the boys??
