Aesthetic - Jaden Hossler

46.

The process of filming was over now and Josh and Bryce were getting something ready to surprise Nessa to their seven months anniversary.

Jaden brought Alice to his and Josh's bedroom, he desperately wanted to talk to her and he needed her to be comfortable.

He brought her to his bed, making sure that she was sitting down. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, why shouldn't I be okay?"

Jaden didn't even bother to answer her and just held her hand up, so that her fingers were right in front of her eyes.

"Okay, work is stressing me out."

Alice knew that he wasn't believing her. To be honest if she was in his shoes, she wouldn't believe herself either.

"Alice. I want to help you, I really do, but I cant do that, when you don't talk to me about it."

Jaden nearly cried seeing how broken she was.

Alice collapsed against his body, sobbing in his chest.

"Can you please kiss me?"

Alice needed physical affection right now, there was no way she could just smile through her pain.

Her opinion about her body didn't change, it was just that Jaden noticed, and her cared enough to talk to her about it.

The taller of the two cradled her head in his hands, pulling her on top and letting himself fall so that they could cuddle and still look at each other.

The Asian pulled the comforter on top of them, trying to keep herself warm.

"I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry for."

They were quietly enjoying each other's company before Jaden started to speak again.

"I want you to know, that I care about you, a lot and I am also worried about you. What I also wanted to tell you, is that I am here to listen to you. I won't judge you. Please accept my help if you need it."

Alice's frail body suddenly went very stiff, it almost seemed like she stopped breathing.

"Okay I want to talk to you."

"That's great. Thank you."

Anthony, who Jaden had confided in when he was thinking about talking with Alice, walked in and gave them mugs with hot chocolate and little marshmallows.

"Thank you, Anthony. I love you."

"I love you too Allie."

And with that he left.

"You told him the words before you told me."

"But he is only like a Brother to me."

"I know bubs, I was joking."

"Jaden?"

"Yeah?"

"I honestly don't know where to start."

"It's okay, take your time."

"But it's your big day today."

"I still care about you Allie. If you want to talk about it, we can talk about it now."

"Okay, how do I say this? I don't eat enough."

Jaden squeezed her hand in a reassuring manner, it is hard to admit to anybody that you have a problem, but you also have to admit it to yourself.
