"That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

🏡Serena's POV🏡

A day after I wake up, Becca and everyone visit me. I was excited to see them again, although I couldn't show my giddiness through movement like I could before. They understood, Danny said he saw it in my eyes how happy I was to see them. And I was. Nick and Hailey were holding hands and I couldn't contain my squeal. I suppose it was worth the momentary embarrassment to see both their faces light up with redness. Becca was a tearful mess, hugging me as best she could and feeding me a strawberry frosted donut. Danny was the best at holding his emotions at bay when everyone was in the room. When they left, however, he let it all out. Describing in great detail what a wreck Jacob was, and how he was worried for both our sakes. He told me about their moment and I was happy to hear that Jacob was able to vent out to a good friend. They also each got me presents, not as much as Jacob--which I was grateful for--and it was nice to see the thought they put into them; Becca got me donuts and a fuzzy blanket, Danny bought a moose stuffie with a 'get better' flannel shirt, Nick gave me a mug that said 'badass' in gold-glittered letters, Hailey gave me a penguin onesie. I'm not going to lie, I'm excited to wear it. Nathan brought me flowers and Caraval, a book by Stephanie Garber.

Even Jasper came, and he gave me a tiny tiara. I giggled when he placed in on the table beside me, even more so when he blushed. I took note on the look Nathan gave him. It was full of happiness and kindness. His eyes were soft and his smile was relaxed. Jasper turned away from me, finding his attention on Nathan instead. His face immediately flushes from the look he receives. I can't keep the smile off my face at their interactions.

"I'm... Well, it was nice to see you getting better. I've got to go." Jasper let as his sentence finished.

Nathan pouted as the door closed. I laughed at his facial expression and he turned to glare at me. "Don't laugh. Do you know how it was to get him to agree to come with me to see you. The problem's not you, it's... me."

Sensing the shift in atmosphere, I scooted over in the bed and gestured for him to sit by me. "Tell me everything you need to get off your chest."

He takes my hand. "When I met him, he was so cute. I can't handle his cuteness. But later in the day, I don't know, he just kinda snapped at me. I blame myself since I was being a little annoying, but I can't help but think that he hates me. Not just me, but... me."

I squeeze his hand. "Why do you think that?"

"I was being annoying, and I got really close to him. He yelled at me and when I asked what was wrong with me being close to him... he told me 'everything'. It hurt to hear that. I don't think he's gay, and he probably hates gays anyways."

My heart cracks after his explanation. My poor brother, heart broken before he was able to properly give it away. "I don't think he hates you, maybe he's just really shy and doesn't know what to do when you're so close. I saw the way he blushes when he notices you looking at him. And he wouldn't be here with you if he hated you. Maybe take it down a notch and be more courteous of his boundaries."

"I will, I just hope he will let me continue being his friend."

"I'm sure he will, but you both need to have a talk to continue a friendship... then relationship."

Nathan laughs, blushing a bit. "Thank you, Serry. I'm glad you're okay enough to help me with boy troubles. I hope you get well quickly." He raises from the bed and kisses my forehead. "Where is Jacob?"
