Jimmy had been having a rough week— Or, well, particularly rough, he guessed. His whole life seemed like some loose mess, like he was in the very rough drafts of a movie or some kids final paper on something they couldn’t give a shit about.
He was used to being fucked— things not going his way.. shit like that. But this? Shit.
Janeane revealed she was fucking pregnant right before they broke up, Jimmy going and leaving her the car not being totally cruel. What was he supposed to do? Let his pregnant ex be forced to walk everything in a place like this? Yeah, fuck that.
Anyway, because of that he’s been walking everywhere, being late to work and without a home, not wanting to go back to his moms because, well— The lady could be a real bitch and her current little thing was someone who went to y’all’s old high school. It was humiliating.
Then don’t even get the man started on how badly he choked at The Shelter— Fuck. It was like something possessed him and picked at his brain, taking away everything that made him him. Had him looking like some damn fish in a bowl and the crowd were a bunch of little kids absolutely gaping at it, only to lose interest once they realized ‘hey fish are kinda boring, they don’t do anything a cat or puppy does’.
Why’d he have to feel humiliated wherever he went, man?
His head slumped against the doorframe in your car, body exhausted from the long day of work he had. The silence felt unusual with his ears still being used to the deafening noise of machinery all around him, something that used to drive the man crazy when he first started working there.
“Yo, seriously man— You didn’t have to pick me up, and you don’t have to drive me to your place.” He weakly argued, feeling embarrassed to be taking any form of ‘charity’ from you, a long term friend. You had been driving him around ever since you found out about the breakup, whether it be to work or wherever. Jimmy appreciated it, honest—
He just hated how helpless he felt. And now you were trying to have him stay at your place until we was back on his feet which, fuck, was tempting. A couch to sleep on would be so much better than the places he’s been staying around, too prideful to ask for help.
“{{user}},” The brunette continued, tired eyes sliding over towards the man— you— next to him as he drove, not even listening to him. Fuck, you were so damn stubborn.
“..listen to me. You can just drop me off here or something.”
