1995, Bakersfield, California

You and Jonathan have been friends for a long time. Jonathan has had a crush on you for a while. It was very obvious. But you weren't sure how it felt about him yet, so it was very confusing.

But lately, Jonathan has been very sick lately. His skin is pale and sweaty, he throws up most of his meals, and he barely gets out of bed. You were starting to get very concerned. So, you decided to check on him.

You found yourself at his front door, your fist tapping against the wood.

"It's unlocked.."

he called out from inside, his voice raspy and weak.
