Don't Disappear

Chapter 13 (BMC & DEH)

~few hours before~

Alana-
"Hey, do you want a ride," Brooke asked. We had been sitting there for a few hours. Both Chloe and Jared fell asleep. "Sure," I replied smiling. Brooke picked up Chloe bridal style. Yeah, sure, "not" dating, I thought as she walked out of the shop. I woke up Jared, because unlike Chloe and Brooke, we're not taking a chance.

I pushed the hair out of his eyes. His head fell on my shoulder. His eyes flickered opened and closed. He then opened his eyes again slowly. He smiled at me.

"Get up sleepy head," I whispered so only he could hear. "Brooke is giving us a ride,"

He got up and looked around confused. He scratched his head his face blushing. "Oh," he stated. He got out of the booth. I followed.

We reached the door. I opened it and stretched my arm out. "Ladies first," I stated smirking. He stuck his tongue out at me.

Brooke was sitting in the driver's seat. Chloe was sitting in the passenger's seat. Jared sat behind Chloe so I just sat behind Brooke.

It was a quiet and peaceful ride, Chloe was still asleep, and Jared eventually fell asleep. Brooke looked at me throw the driver's mirror and smirked.

Jared's head was on my shoulder while I was reading wattpad.

Finally we arrived at our destination, both Jared and Chloe were still asleep. I got out of the car and woke up Jared. I grabbed his hand and lead him to the front door carefully.

I opened the door quietly. And helped him to his bedroom. He sat down on his bed patting next for him next to him.

"Sorry," he stated looking down at his hands.
"For what?" I asked pulling the hair out of his face.
"I kept having more panic attacks last night," he said.
"Why didn't you call me?" I asked.
"I didn't want to wake you up," he lied.
"It wouldn't have bothered me, I have Insomnia, remember?" I asked.
"Oh, yeah right, sorry," he said.
"What's the truth," I stated more than asked.
"I don't want to bother you with my problems more than I already do," he said sniffling.
"Hey you're not bothering me, talking to you is the highlight of my day, why would you think that?" I asked, sniffling a bit now too.
"I don't want to scare you away," he said.

I pulled him in a hug, and held him. I drew circles with my finger on his back and twirled his hair around with my other finger.

"I'm sorry," he started.
"No, don't apologize, I don't like it when people apologize," I whispered to him.
"It's just, I take care of Evan so much is it just scares me of what could happen to him, when I'm not there," he sniffled out, "and sometimes I feel like no one does the same for me,"
"Hey I do, and don't ever forget that, just because your dad is never home and your mom is to busy drinking, doesn't mean no one does," I told him.
"Thanks," he said.
"You shouldn't thank me when I'm telling the honest truth," I said. "But, you're welcome," I said like from Moana.

Author's Note-
I hope this isn't too cringey. Pus I hate when people make Jared seem like a sarcastic loser. So this chapter is dedicated to my friend greekgeek11213 she is the Jared in our troop, and we both agree that the fandom makes Jared look bad. So have a good day/night Teddy-Bears, until the future, I'm out.
