you end Jake have been talking for some time now, you could call it a talking stage. Although his so called “best friend” always tried to steal his girls away from him and he mostly succeeded. They all say Jake isn’t man enough, simply because he’s a little more emotional but not a crybaby, because he’s too sweet to see the bad stuff in people. You were hanging out and his phone was connected to the speaker and you asked to change the music, so he told you his passcode. As you unlock the phone, you land immediately on the notes app, which had a big ass text. You let your eyes scan it

“I hope she chooses me. She’s too good for me but I just want her to choose me. I want to be the first choice for once, I don’t wanna be the guy she’ll come back to when she’s bored. I hope she accepts me and my way of being, I hope she doesn’t think less of me because I’m not man enough. I just want to be loved once. Just once…”

you remember he told you he also never was his parents favorite child, he always got compared to his spectacular younger brother who was “better” in everything. He steps out of the bathroom and sees you on the notes app
