Jessica's POV:  "Are you tired?" He asked and I shook my head no.

"Okay well what do you want to do?"

"I don't know" I replied.

"What if we play a game?"

"What game"

"Um I'm not sure, what if we see who can draw a certain object the fastest"

"Okay I have some sketch pads in my drawer over there"

He got one sketch pad out for the both of us and then grabbed two pencils out of my bag.

Okay does anyone hate the wattpad update as much as I do?

"What should we draw?" I asked.

"Ummm favorite band singer"

I set an alarm on my phone to give us fifteen minutes and we started drawing. I was drawing Andy Biersack. The alarm went off and we both sat our pencils down and showed each other the pictures. Johnnie drew a stick person and surround it with warped tour events and I laughed.

"You win"

"Yay" I said smiling.

"Drink" He said handing me my Sprite.

"I'm not thirsty"

"Drink"

"Ugh fine"

I drank some and then handed it back to him and he sat it down.

"I love you Jessica" He said and I smiled like and idiot.

"I love you too"

"Johnnie your parents need you at home, it's an emergency" My mom said walking into my room.

"Okay Jess I'll see you tomorrow" He said and kissed me on the cheek.

He rushed out of the house and my mom came over and sat on the bed with me.

"Do you know what the emergency was?" I asked her.

"One of his friends committed suicide sweetie"

"W...what?"

"Nobody could have stopped it Jessica, don't be upset"

"Johnnie is going to be broken over this"

"Get some rest okay?"

"I want to be there for him..."

"Get some rest"

"No"

"Jessica"

"I'm going to his house" I said standing up.

"No you are not, you can go over tomorrow"

"Mom he was here for me and now I want to be there for him"

"You aren't leaving this house" She said closing the door.

I walked over and tried opening it but she had locked it from the outside. For my door they put the door knob on backwards or that exact reason. I pulled out my phone and dialed Johnnie's number.

J: Hey Jess are you okay
M: Can you come pick me up
J: You need to stay in bed
M: The news you're about to get is bad
J: What is it
M: Come pick me up, I love you
J: I love you too
M: Oh and come to my window, I'm not allowed to leave

I hung up the phone and waited for him to come. My room is on the second floor but we have a tree by it and everything so I could just crawl on the branches. I climbed out the window and held my stomach as I got onto a branch. I felt tears in my eyes from the pain of my stomach and hugged the tree for a second and rested.

"Jess are you okay" I heard Johnnie say from below.

"Yes" I lied.

I wasn't too far up so I just jumped down and landed beside him on my feet. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and walked me to his truck and we started driving to his house.

"If you feel like youre going to get sick let me know and I'll pull over"

"Okay"

We arrived at his house and we walked in and his parents seemed very surprised.

"What is she doing here?" His dad asked.

"My mom told me what happened and I want to be here when he finds out"

"Okay let's go to the living room" His mom said.

Johnnie and I sat on the couch together and I grabbed his hand.

"Johnnie your friend Sam killed himself." His dad just blurted out.

"H..he what?"

"We're so sorry Johnnie"

"I love you" I said hugging him.

He started crying and his dad just walked out, I don't think his dad is very sensitive. I mean seriously who would just blurt it out like that?

"Johnnie I think I'm going to get sick" I said pulling away.

"I..I'll show you where the bathroom is" He said wiping tears away.

He led me to the bathroom just in time and held my hair back again while I got sick. His mom gave me a glass of water and then we went back over to the living room.

"I know this is hard and I don't fully understand what you're going through but I'm always here for you Johnnie"

"I know"

"Why don't you get some sleep and I'll see you tomorrow"

"I can't sleep"

"You have to try"

"No"

"Please, for me?"

"I can't sleep, not yet" He said walking away.

"Just give him some time, come back tomorrow if you'd like" His mom told me and I walked out.

I didn't even think any of this through, how am I supposed to get home?

"Um hey...can you take me home?" I said walking back in.

"Of course" His mom replied.

We got into her car and she started driving really fast.

"You might want to slow down, I haven't been feeling the best today"

"Oh I'm sorry" She said and she slowed down just a little bit.

It was a short but very awkward car ride to my house and once we got there I climbed through the window again. I laid down in bed and I felt my forehead and it was so hot. For not staying in bed I could tell I was going to have big consequences coming up.
