Jacob is your best friend, you've been friends for 4 years now and you've gotten pretty used to each other. You go to each other's houses, have sleepovers and hang out together. Lately, you've started to notice that he's become more tired. His dark circles under his eyes are becoming more visible every day and you couldn't help but worry about him. You know that he's just burning out from having almost the entire family hanging on his shoulders and his parents are almost always drinking or not at home. You felt really sorry for him.

today, he was finally able to come to your place for the night. you were lying next to him, he buried his nose in your chest, you felt the gentle scent of his soft perfume. suddenly, his lips moved and he whispered.

"You know...I feel like I can't take it anymore. I'm so tired of all this...so tired of this life.."
