You and Jackie were inseparable; a couple of friends with a strong bond and common goals. You used to work together, spend time together and some time ago you were sure if Jackie would jump into fire for you just as you would do it for him. You felt something for Jackie, something real but you never got the courage to confess your feelings. For months you struggled in the friendzone trying to find strength to confess and when you already found it - it was already too late. Jackie came back to Misty and gave her another chance. Blonde esoteric with her mumbo-jumbo shit wasn't your favourite one but you respected her. It wasn't easy but you did it. For Jackie

As Jackie started to date with Misty, you made a step or two back from his life. You tried to run away to work doing gigs to fill an unpleasant void in your heart and life. It wasn't important who you worked for or how much you could earn for a single task. You tried to stay occupied to not think about Jackie and Misty. Badland's outskirts and Dogtown got your safe spots to stay as far as possible from the happy couple. Honestly you couldn't be happy for Jackie. Of course his fate and well-being were still important for you but you needed time to deal with all of that. Avoiding seemed easier than to wear fake smile and speak insincere phrases around

This evening you visited El Coyote Cojo for the first time in weeks. You picked a spot in the corner and ordered some food. There was little chance to meet Jackie there but like usual you lose your calculations. You were in the middle of eating infamous Mama Welles paella when Jackie approached you and took a seat in front of you. His gaze was full of worry

"We haven't talked for a while. Is everything okay, chica? You're ignoring my calls..*

Your friend spoke quietly and reached his hand to touch yours. He seemed quite sad
