∆ Chapter 44 Tomorrow ∆

At Ace house

Maeven decided to give them some time together as friends to be there for Jam, cancelling their plans they waited for Jam to come home but since they knew that the hospital's visiting hour is only until ten pm they already went ahead and ate dinner leaving some for Jam. The squad tried waiting a little longer but sleep is stronger, low light and the television still on they all fell asleep in the living room.

Jam's POV

Staying up all night for Archie watching him sleep peacefully on his bed I'm slowly feeling tired, my eyes are feeling heavy and are stinging from my fight with sleep but I don't want to sleep or even leave yet.

As I fight myself someone taps on my shoulder making me turn around and look at Mr. Quero looking at me with pity "Jam visiting hours are close.........I can drive you home if you need me to" he said shaking his keys.

"I can't stay huh?" I said with a raspy voice of mine as I rub my eyes awake, Mr. Quero shakes his head yes and pats my back as I stand up.

I looked at Archie sleeping and quickly placed a kiss on his forehead and leaving the room with Mr. Quero and when I got home the squad are laying at the living room with the TV still on and somehow it made me smile to see them this concern for them to wait this late, I went straight to the kitchen since I never get to eat dinner and I think I won't be eating because i already lost my appetite, instead i grabbed a can of beer and a slice of yema cake from the refrigerator and went up to my room balcony after I laid out blankets for the girls down stairs.

I changed from my dirty clothes to something random like a short and a thin tank top, eating my cake and occutionally drinking my beer I stare at the city light from my balcony thinking "life is so fucking unfair"

I began talking to myself questioning everything "heh am I sad right now or what?"

"your good I guess?" Someone said behind me but I didn't turn for I already know who that is.

"you know we cooked for you but you decided to eat cake and beer at twelve in the morning?" Mae said pulling up a chair beside me and with her is two more cans of beer.

I smirked and said "I don't feel like eating something right now"

"what do you call this then" she points at the cake.

"snack" I simply replied and gulped down my drink, Mae continued talking.

"Well at least I'll be here with you.......i'm moving in by the way" I hummed responding the littles way possible, don't get me wrong I love talking with my friends but today I just feel tired and I think Mae understands.

"what's wrong with him talk about it" she softly asks, me feeling no barrier to tell her spoke out my heart with just the acronims "CHD.......he has CHD"

"oh.....Jam" Mae looked at me looking at the sky.

"yeah...."

I felt Mae fell silent and I completely understand why, I don't know how to comfort me too, but what she did next is the greatest comfort I can get right now, Mae hold my hand gripping it tight while looking at me sincerely whispering a small comfort of words "we're here for you Jam" I smiled somehow feeling less horrible.

She stayed by my side drinking beer until I fell asleep only greeting the next day with a slight head ache.
