After Zach hung out with his friends for the first time in forever, him and Jack went to bed. The two were both physically and mentally exhausted.

Zach had errands to run though so he let Jack sleep. Kaylin was there to keep an eye on him though.

Zach just had to pick somethings up and his car needed an oil change so he did that. He finally got groceries before heading home.

He walked into the home only to hear yelling.

"I can take care of myself!" Jack's voice was frustrated.

"Jack we know. We're just looking out for you." Kaylin kept her voice down and calm.

"So you don't trust me huh? Is that it?" Jack stood in the hallway with his back turned to Zach.

"Bubba what's going on? What's wrong?" Zach set his stuff down before walking towards the older boy.

Jack scoffed. "You guys are what's wrong. I don't know why you're treating me like an actual kid. I can handle myself. I don't need a goddamn babysitter! You're my boyfriend not my father."

Zach furrowed his eyebrows. "Jack you have to see this from our perspectives. The last time I left you alone was the accident-"

"Stop calling it that! Just because you leave me alone doesn't mean I'm gonna shoot up and overdose! My whole being doesn't revolve around heroin. I'm fine so if you can start treating me like a normal person that would be great." Jack was fuming.

"Baby please relax." Zach took a few steps closer to his boyfriend.

"No! I'm not going to fucking relax! I'm sick and tired of everyone tiptoeing around me. I'm not a drug addict. I can take care of myself." Jack paused and looked at the floor. "You're not the Zach I fell in love with."

Zach was taken a back. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Jack looked up and into Zach's eyes. "The Zach I fell in love with wouldn't treat me like this. He would treat me like a normal person. I get that I made a mistake but please treat me like me. Treat me like your boyfriend and not some druggie.

Zach was offended. He knew that this was just Jack's thoughts getting the best of him. The doctors said that this would happen but he didn't think it would be this bad.

"I'm leaving. I need some time to myself." Jack grabbed his keys that had gotten comfortable on the table next to the front door.

"Jack please don't leave." Zach grabbed Jack's hand as the boy walked passed him. Zach was starting to worry.

"And what do you think I'm going to do? Go to some alley and almost kill myself again? I'm not a dumbass okay? I know what I did was wrong and I know I scared everyone but how do you think I feel huh? I feel like shit. I'm sorry for all the pain I caused and I'm sorry that I couldn't be a better boyfriend but I'm done trying. It happened and there's nothing I can do about it now. I'm sorry." Jack pulled his hand from Zach. He pulled the thin chain from around his neck and set it on the table, the key lightly clinking the wood.

Zach had tears in his eyes. He was piecing everything together in his head and he didn't want to believe what Jack was saying. "Are you breaking up with me?"

Jack swallowed and looked at the floor before nodding. "I'm sorry but you deserve so much better than what I can give you."

"Jack wait. Stop. You don't get to make that decision. You're the best person for me. I love you. Please don't go." Zach grabbed Jack's hand again.
