while waiting for troye to get home i looked up treatments for a fever: plenty of rest, light foods, plenty of water, comfortable temperature, not a lot of clothing and maybe even sex might help. wow. sex. havent had that in a while.

i went downstairs to eat food even though i
wasnt hungry and checked the calendar to see if there was anything important to do during the week. nothing, except troye wrote a sticky note to my parents saying that i was sick and put it on the calendar. i opened to fridge and saw a sticky note with a smily face:

'i made you some soup, feel better! i'll be home later, xoxo troye'

this boy literally makes my day. i heated the soup up and waiting for troye to get home in my bed.

once he finally came home, connor facetimed me. i didnt know he was allowed to do that at camp. we also havent talked in like a week/a week and a half.

troye was putting away clean laundry and i had my headphones in my phone.

"hey..." he said

"hey long time no see" i said

"hi... i kinda have to tell you something"

"um okay?" my heart rate started to pick up

"well, um i dont know how to say this.... but can we break up?"

"yeah sure totally why" i said in my most casual way but you could tell i sounded crazy with a giant fake smile on my lips. even troye turned to look at me, "jake you okay?"

"perfectly fine" i said to him

connor looked at me like i looked crazy.

"i'm going to be perfectly honest with you, i met someone here and i would never cheat on you jacob, i havent, but it's just i dont think i want to be with you and potentially cheat on you because i like someone else and not break up with you"

i took a deep breath "you know what connor, i'm done i'll get over this eventually but for now i just need time alone" i said, minding my words because troye was in here still.

"can we still be friends or..."

"i dont know i just need to think about stuff right now... see you in a month" i said and hung up on him.
