"Good? I need to tell you something."
He seems serious, but I don't really care, so I say, "What is it, fckface?"
"Good.." He pauses and fiddles with his sleeves, something he only does when upset or nervous.
"Jef?"
"..."
I stand up and take his hands, the constant shifting of fabric is upsetting my brain.
"Jef what's wrong."
"I just had Skeppy on the phone.."
"Yeah? What about the little sh1thead?" I try to cheer him up a bit, but it doesn't work and he tears up instead. Fck.
"You know how my mom's been ill recently?" He takes a shaky breath, "Like, in hospital?"
I let him pause again before continuing, but he doesn't. After a moment, I finally realise what he's trying to tell me.
"Oh.."
"Yeah."
...
"Je-"
I'm interrupted by him wrapping his arms around my waist and I don't know what to do; I'm not good at hugs.
Nonetheless,  I run my fingers through his dark hair and put my other arm around his neck, hoping to be gentle.
I hear his muffled sobs and I can feel my heart sink in my chest. It hurts to see him so upset, but I shouldn't be the one getting comforted here (or ever, to be fair), so I hug him tighter.

JEF'S POV:

"It's okay Jef, I'm here for you."
Who knew 7 words would help so much?



A/N: IM SO SORRY I KNOW THIS IS SHORT AND DUMB BUT MAYBE ILL ADD MORE AT A LATER DATE :))
