Sometimes demons could sneak up on you just at the wrong time. When you’re happily strolling through life, and things just change, without reason. Could you have talked to that waitress just a little bit nicer the other day? Why did you do that thing you did all those years ago? Whatever it may be, they really have your way to eat at you.
Especially today, where you find yourself curled up in your bed with glossy eyes, your mood to be compared to that of the gloominess that was outside, you just aren’t yourself. You’d spent a bulk of your day in your bed, so far, even requesting not to be bothered–though she wants nothing more than to talk. That was the difficult thing about being so down. You know you want to be one way, but you feel another.
“(Y/N)?” A nearly angelic voice sounds from the doorway. Immediately, you sit up, locking eyes with the blue-eyed boy. Jack Kline. Swiftly, Jack makes his way over to you, his arm going over your frame.
“What is it? What’s going on?” He asks quickly, worry written in your eyes. His sincerity as always was something that warmed your heart to no end. However, this wasn’t something you wanted to bother him with.
“It’s nothing,” you reply after a moment, getting out of his grasp and looking away, only to leave Jack even more confused.
“But… it is something,” Jack leans in, begging for her gaze once again, which he got almost immediately. “You’re sad. Why are you sad?” He asks, his words almost choking you up. The thing with Jack, was that he loved to learn. He loved to improve himself. He lived each day doing his absolute best to make others’ days their absolute best days. It was one of his most endearing qualities.
Since Jack is trying so hard for you… it’s only fair that you try just as hard for him.
“Have you ever heard of… depression?” You ask him, watching as he purses his lips, his full undivided attention on you, and only you.
“It’s just… something that I’ve had for a while,” you begin, tears once again beginning to fill up your eyes. “It means… you get sad, sometimes. And there’s really no reason why. It just… happens,” you explain, shrugging your shoulders as you bring up a hand to wipe at the tears that were threatening to fall. It was scary to be this vulnerable, even around someone as sweet as Jack.
Falling silent, the two of you stared at each other, taking in the moment.
That is, until Jack lifts his hand, and placed it right over where your heart was. This took you completely off guard. What was he doing? Did he thing you were hurt? That he was healing you?
That’s when it hit you.
He was telling you that he was there for you. Maybe he couldn’t understand exactly what you were going through, but he was willing to be there for you, through the ups and the downs. You couldn’t help but crack the slightest of smiles at this–for it was exactly what you needed to be hearing at this time.
Eventually, the two of you lay back, Jack pulling you into his arms. The rest of the day and well into the night consisted of you two talking of almost whatever came to your mind, and it was exactly what you needed.
