My Gay Best Friends

S3 E6: Counselor

In Slater's Car

Zack started punching the headboard.

"Zack stop you're gonna hurt yourself."

"I don't care! Jack could've died!"

"But he didn't. You saved him in time."

"Yeah he's in the hospital but then what? Shawn is still here and will do what he did last time and we can't do anything about it because he's the mayor's son!"

Zack's hand cracked making him stop and hold it.

"Told you so."

*Plays theme song*

At the hospital

Zack entered Jack's room.

"Hey Jackaboy."

"Hey Zack Attack. I'm broken."

"I know."

"What happened to your hand?"

"I broke it punching the headboard. Anyway, Austin, Jane, and I think it would be best for you to see a counselor every week."

"What are you, my parents?"

"Yes, Jane's the Mom, Austin's the Dad, and I'm the older brother that's telling you to do it."

"Zack-."

"Jack. We're family. Families talk about things."

"No! Families ignore things things until they go away."

"Jack-."

"I'm not doing it, end of discussion."

"Alright. Jerry's here."

He left and Jerry came in.

"Hey babe."

"Hey."

"Happy two year anniversary."

"Aww, you got me a gift, that's so sweet. But I don't have anything for you. I guess I can just give you a little bit more love today."

Jack opened the gift but it was empty.

"That's the same thing I have for you!"

"I love you."

"I love you too."

At night

Jack turned over in his sleep and saw Zack sitting on the chair staring at him. He screamed.

"Hello Jackson."

"Zack what are you doing here?! It's three am!"

"I know, I was just planning something for.... you'll know soon."

"What do you mean "you'll know soon"."

"I'm just worried about you man. It would be a shame if something were to happen to you."

"Alright Jigsaw I'll do the counseling."

"Good choice. See you at school tomorrow."

At school

"You know, I've been gone for basically the whole school year. I don't understand why I have to be here for the rest of the month."

"So you can catch up and do the finals so you won't repeat your classes."

"I have a question."

"I have an answer."

"Why do you keep staring at Jerry in anger? I mean you always do that but your giving him the death stare."

Zack looked down.

"You'll have to ask him yourself."

"When?"

"After your meeting with the counselor."

They stopped in front of her door.

"I thought we were walking to class!"

Zack patted his back and left. Jack went in.

"You must be Jackson."

"Actually I go by Jack."

"Oh sorry, I'm Miss. Hathaway. Have a seat."

He sat down.

"So do you wanna talk about what happened?"

".....no. I didn't even wanna come here. I don't think that talking about my problems is going to fix them."

"It's not but it'll help."

"No it won't. It just makes me feel selfish."

"Well here, you can talk away."

Jack sadly smiled.
