J o h n

Two months passed, I was free to go the first month but I was told that Jaren had to stay for therapy from the accident. I stayed, I stayed to help him go through the pain of whatever they did to aide him in the battle of both depression and anxiety. It was a hard two months for the both of us, we both broke bones and shed tears but still we managed to stay alive. Craig and Tyler visited us some days, Tyler still thought it was his fault that Jaren did what he did, but we keep on telling him that its not. Why wont he listen to us?

But now lets fast forward today, Jaren's therapy was going quite well, everyone in the hospital was excited for the amount of progress Jaren gained. It was the morning, around 9 AM I'm pretty sure? I knocked on Jaren's door softly to not wake him up, a groan could be heard from the door. "Ugh." I knocked again to fully wake Jaren up. "I'm coming, who is it?" "Its the doctor and I have a huge pill that you need to take~" I said in this quite annoying voice. "Oh noo not a huge pill, state your name doctor~" Jaren said to me trying not to laugh.

"It is I, John Keyes." I murmured to the closed door before Jaren opened it. "Welcome Mr. John Keyes." Jaren laughed and hugged me, of course I hugged him back. "How are you today Jaren?" I asked him as he looked up into my eyes, "Actually I feel great!" I was so happy he got the help he needed, I picked him up and twirled him around. "I'm so happy for you!" I said laughing as I twirled my crush around. "Put me down you idiot!" The white-haired boy said beating my back with slaps. "Fine fine, you're no fun." I said putting him down sadly.

"Aw I'm sorry John, anyways do you wanna go get some food from the cafeteria with me?" "Sure, its not like I have anything better to do." I smiled to Jaren. Soon both Jaren and I were on the elevator to floor one, a weird thought popped into my mind. "Didn't Jaren say he loved me before he jumped?" Holy shit, those words were now stuck in my mind. Before the elevator went to first floor I had to ask him, "Uh Jaren?" "Yeah John?" "Before you uh kinda jum-" The elevator opened and we were on floor one, both Jaren and I walked out.

"What did you need to tell me John?" Jaren said as I stood in place. "Nothing, I was just gonna ask you what you were gonna get." I smiled avoiding my question, that was for another time. "Alrighty! Oh and I honestly don't know what I'm gonna get." I looked away from him and sighed, "Is something wrong John?" He asked me I was quick to nod and reply no. "Lets just keep walking." I laughed a bit and started walking again, Jaren followed me. Those words kept on repeating in my mind, then the words quickly stopped, I didn't know why until I saw Jaren holding my hand.

I looked over at him and I could see that he was softly humming, he continued to walk, still holding my hand. "Jaren?" I mumbled, I could tell that my cheeks were a bit reddened. "Yeah John?" He said looking at me, I quickly coughed and sputtered "We are uh at the uh cafeteria." "Seems we are, now don't just stand there lets go get some food!" We walked inside, Jaren still holding my hand, and we walked to the lady serving the others. After a few times of being in there I learned that her name was Beatrice.

"Hello John and Jaren, how are you two?" Beatrice greeted us as we both walked up to her. "Pretty good." Jaren said and I just stated a normal "Okay." "Alrighty, what will you two have? Have a look on the board." Beatrice waited patiently for us to both state our orders. "I'll have eggs and pancakes please!" Jaren said excitedly, he was still holding my hand. "I'll just have uh bacon and eggs please." I said smiling. "It will only take me a minute boys." Beatrice smiled to us and started to put what we ordered in two separate boxes. She handed the boxes to me  and I grabbed them both with my other hand.

"Have a nice day boys!" Beatrice smiled and waved us off as I went to go pay for the breakfast meal. As I payed for the food Jaren quickly moved his hand from mine. "Sorry John." He sighed, "Huh?" I asked him as we both walked to the table we wanted to sit at, the one by the window. "I'm sorry that I held your hand, I bet that must've been awkward huh." He softly smiled. "No! I actually kinda liked it." I smiled back to him as we sat down. "Wait really?" Jaren smiled a bit more. "Yup it was nice, now come on, lets eat." Jaren nodded and smiled I could tell that both of our faces grown a bit red.

A few minutes passed and both Jaren and I finished our food, "So about that holding hand thing, m-maybe you wanna do it again?" I asked Jaren and his eyes lit up as we threw away the plastic food containers. "Yeah!" He smiled to me and quickly grabbed my hand again, his hand was warm. "Thanks for coming to the cafeteria with me John." "Its no problem Jaren." He had quickly stopped and I stopped with him." There's something you wanted to tell me in the elevator, what was it?" "I-I uh.." I could feel my face getting a bit red. "So well uh, when you were about to jump." "Yeah?" "You said.. "John I love you." Was that true..?" Jaren quickly grabbed my other hand and squeezed them both.

"Yes, yes it was John, do you like me back?" He said looking to me directly into my eyes I stared into his as well. I didn't know how to answer, of course I liked him back. I didn't even know how to tell him, gosh I was a blushing mess. I squeezed his hands back the only thing I could do was stutter. "I.." Jaren continued to stare at me in my eyes and I did the same to him. I stayed silent, what do I do?
