OCs 2 - the Sequel

More Notes From Rylee's Journal

The Rock

Jacob and I might not seem to have a close relationship, but if he wouldn't have liked Aspen and I wouldn't have liked Dayton, I have a good feeling we would've dated at some point.

When it comes to Jacob and I, our relationship was one of mental conversations rather than real ones for the most part. He was quiet, with walls similar to Brooke's. He never shared all that he went through...and I doubted he ever would.

He's a broken guy - without a doubt. I can't decide who's more broken - Brooke or Jacob - but that's not what's important. Brokenness is brokenness. It doesn't deserve rankings.

Jacob kinda reminds me of myself, in a way... Except way more extreme. He was used in a way that made him feel worthless, just like I used to feel. It was...part of the reason I was able to connect with him so well.

Jacob would have little panics sometimes and I would reassure him mentally as best as I could. He always appreciated it and we related to each other pretty well. We drifted away after the first few months that he was here, but he still checked in time to time.

He understood how broken I was and made sure to check in on me. I shared my deep, raw emotions and my troubles with both Brooke and Jacob. Since they placed so much trust in me, it was only fair to do the same.

He especially checked in during my coma. Not many people came in my mind during that... But I heard him, Brooke, Casey... Then finally, I heard Dayton and I woke up.

I wish I could heal emotional wounds too. But those wounds are beyond my ability... It doesn't stop me from trying though.
