I can't help falling in love

This is RichJake warnings: Talks of suicide.

    Jakes POV.

Jenna Roland just told me that my best friend, Rich, set fire to my house while visiting me at the hospital. I am so fucking pissed and I have the right to be!

I screamed for the nurse, Zoe, and she burst though the door. She frantically looked around the room the to me. She saw that I was fine and looked at me warily asking, "Yes, Mr Dillinger?". I immediately felt bad and apologized for yelling. I calmly asked to see rich even though my heart was thumping harshly in my chest.

She wheeled me too the critical state rooms and knocked on a door. She opened it and wheeled me in. The moment I walked in I felt my heart break. There was rich, half dead and in a full body cast. I began crying like it would help the situation. I didn't. The nurse gave me a sympathetic smile and left me and him alone.

I wheeled myself next to the bed and grabbed Rich's hand while sobbing. I began to sing him a song my mom sang to me when I was sad or sick.
 
Begin song:

"Wise men say, only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you. Oh shall I stay? Would it be a sin? Oh if I can't help falling in love with you.".

I wipe my eyes and plant a kiss on Rich's slightly burned hand then continue singing. "Like a river flows, surely to the sea. Darling so it goes, something's are meant to be. Take my hand, take my whole life too. For I can't help falling in love with you. Like a river flows, surely to the sea. Darling so it goes, something's are meant to be. Take my hand, take my whole life too. For I can't help falling in love with you. Oh for I can't help falling in love with you..."

I finish the song and look up with tears streaming down my face. The moment I open my eyes I'm met with a shocked face. Rich is staring at me with his eyes wide and mouth agape. I almost jump up and hug him, but I realized 1) I can't stand 2) he is in a body cast and 3) I am supposed to be pissed at him, but I just can't be.

"H-hi... How are yo-you?" I manage to stutter out. "I'm so so sorry! I didn't mean to! Well I did but I wasn't thinking! I should of went to a abandoned house or someth-". I cut him of from his ramble and say one simple word. "Why?"

He must've been caught of guard because he just sat there confused for a moment. Once he processed my question, he looked down in shame and regret so I repeat it with force this time. "WHY RICH?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?!" I scream full of emotions that I can't even process. He looks up with tears streaming down his face and whispers, "I did it because I wanted to kill myself. I wanted- no want to die so fucking bad, Jake. The squip didn't even help anything considering that I actually tried."

I felt my heart and stomach drop and to cover up the fact that I was about to began heavily sobbing I ask, "What's a squip?". My voice noticeably cracked, but rich pretended that he didn't hear it. Which I am grateful for. "It is something to help you be cool. Like a pill or some shit...". I noticed he had a lisp and found it adorable. Wait what? That was gay...Fuck. Am I gay for him? Shit, shit, shit, sh- "Jake? Uh are y-you alright...?". I look up with a slight blush on my wet cheeks and nod.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you rich..." I mumble looking away to hide the growing blush going from my neck to my cheeks. Rich turns my face with his hand and looks at me in confusion. "Why are you saying sorry? You should be screaming at me saying how much you hate me....". I look him in the eyes and sadly smile. "I could never hate you, Rich.".

Rich looks at me curiously and smiles ever so slightly. "Thank you... I mean for not hating me because everyone else does... I bet everyone came to visit you...." I look around the room and notice there was nothing there. I'm slightly glad because I didn't get anything either. "Rich, no one but Jenna came to visit. She didn't even say anything but say you burnt my house down.". He looks at me shamefully and once again apologizes.

"Its fine, Rich." My eyes glance down at his lips then back to his eyes. "Rich, I'm gonna do something that you might hate me for.". "I could never hate y-". I don't give him time to finish before I smash my lips into his. It was a gentle yet passionate kiss and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

When we finally break apart we're out of breath and flustered. " YOU EXCITE ME THEXUALY!!" Rich screeches and I giggle. " Oh my god... I'm totally bi." Rich whispers and I chuckle. Just when I was about to comment of him good of a kisser he is, I notice my nurse, Zoe, has been there the whole time. She smirked knowingly and giggled at our flustered faces. "Relax! I have a girlfriend and my brother, Connor, has two boyfriend's.". We visibly relaxed and she snorted.

"Sorry to separate you love birds, but you two need rest. Kiss each other good bye, considering you won't see each other for a while." She chuckled and walked out of he room. "Soooo" rich began. "Sooo... What are we?" I questioned. "Boyfriends!" Rich blurted out. "Only if you want to be of course! I mean I want to be obviously because your beautiful! Wait, I didn't mean that! Well I did... But it is fine-". I cut him of once again from his ramble and place a peck on his lips. "Id like that."
