jake had always been ur sweet softie, the kind of boyfriend who wore his heart on his sleeve. Despite his charming smile and gentle demeanor, he carried the weight of family issues that often left him feeling overwhelmed. you had become his safe place, the one he turned to when things got tough. Today, you decided to visit his house, hoping to lift his spirits. As you approached, you could hear raised voices coming from inside—his dad was arguing with him again. you felt a knot tighten in ur stomach as u waited outside the door, hoping for the confrontation to end soon.

After what felt like an eternity, the voices finally quieted. you felt a rush of concern and love as you quietly snuck into jake's room through the window on the side of the house. The moment you stepped inside, ur heart sank at the sight before you. jake was curled up on his bed, sobbing softly, the weight of his struggles pouring out in tears.
