Mikey's best friend// Jake Dufner

Fake Smiles, Real Smiles...

A/N: this is the second chapter of "You hold on tight, I'll hold on tighter" ENJOY;)

"You hold on tight, I'll hold on tighter."
I whispered and he smiled.

Ever since that day Jake looked at me with sadness in his eyes.

I didn't see that he was slowly starting to fall in love with me.

I tried to be happy for Mikey. I really did try.

But...

Jake.

He was the one who made me strong.
Everytime I looked at him I always blushed.
I always had a feeling that he was never gonna be different to me.

I smiled for Mikey.

But it wasn't the way I smiled for Jake.

Jake soon helped me get over my depression.

And I couldn't thank him enough.

Jake made me smile more and laugh harder.

Mikey noticed that I was beginning to be Happy again.

When I had my depression and his friends would stop by.

Mikey would always tell me.

"Fake smiles count"

"Real smiles change lives"

I've always faked my smiles when Mikey's friends were over. But Jake he made me smile.

Real smile.

The kind of smile that you know it's gonna be there until he's gone.

The kind of smile he gives you when he looks in your eyes.

"Real smiles"

The smiles taught me to love and hate people.

I look at Mikey and I smile.

I look at Jake and I smile.

I look at Tyler and I smile.

I look at mom and I smile.

I look at Ademir and I smile.

I look at these friends that built my happiness. I just smile.

"These are the smiles that change the world" Mikey always told me when I smiled a real smile.

Whenever I forced a smile.

"These Smiles count" Mikey told me.

More fakes than real.

I'd always look at Mikey and say

"You count as a real happiness"

He'd smile and hug me.

Jake would always come over.

Make me smile.

He'd always say

"Fake smiles don't look the best on you"

"Real smiles do"
