I've opened up to Essel without really considering the implications. It's like I've just come to my senses, revealing my feelings to her in a hospital room where she shouldn't be. She might think I'm strange now, but sharing my pain has, in a small way, lightened the burden. It felt refreshing to finally talk to someone other than Jake and Ky.
First off, don't even get me started on Jake. If I bring it up with him, he'll just give me a pat on the shoulder and say, 'Dude, I'm really not good with this stuff. I can make you tea if you want, but please don't cry on me.' He means it as a joke, but sometimes I just want to hit him. For one, that's really inappropriate. And two, can you just act your age for a moment, Jake?
Now, about Ky. You'd think he would be supportive, right
