We eventually pull up to what seems to be an open park.
"This is it." Jc tells me.
He seems more nervous than usual.
We get out of the car and grab the food.
Jc leads me to a open spot near a tree and lays down a blanket.
"Sit down." Jc says.
"Ugh ok." I say and sit down on the blanket.
Jc sits down next to me and opens two cans of Arizona.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" I ask him.
"Let's eat first." He says.
Jc reaches for the bag and pulls out the chips and warheads.
"What a healthy lunch." I mutter sarcastically with a laugh.
Jc breaks into a laughing fit, but then immediately stops.
What if he has to tell me that he's moving? Or what if he tells me to go to college and forget about him?
"Babe are you ok?" Jc asks me.
I shake out of my thoughts.
"Ya I'm fine." I say with a laugh.
We eat the rest of our food in silence.
Something is deffinately wrong. By this point I'm not even curious about what he's gonna say. I'm more scared. I have no idea what to expect anymore.
"When are you gonna tell me?" I blurt out.
"I'm just nervous to tell you." Jc tells me.
"I'm nervous to find out." I tell him.
"It's a pretty long explanation." He says.
"I have time." I say as I lay down on the blanket.
"Ok well you may have noticed that I was gone for a little bit yesterday. Well pretty much, to sum it up, I was diagnosed with major depression." He says.
I sit there, staring at him with my mouth open.
"I know, I was shocked too, but I had just been feeling pretty sad lately. Lately being for a few months." He says.
"Well ok and that wasn't a very long explanation." I tell him.
"I guess not." He says. He is staring at his feet.
Wow. That wasn't what I was expecting. How can my happy chill Jc be depressed? I can tell it took a lot for him to tell me that, though.
I reach forward and hug him. I can feel the awkward tension between us, but oh well.
"You're not mad?" Jc asks when we pull away.
"I can't really be mad. I am confused though." I tell him.
"I'm confused too." He says.
"I love you." I tell him.
"I love you too, Ashley." He replies.
