Now I Can See Your Pain { J-Dog x Deuce }

Chapter 8

Jorel's POV

Another week without any word from Aron.

I wanted so badly to help him, to save him.

I'd just stopped calling and texting because I knew he wouldn't answer.

Vanessa could tell I was worried and upset over it.

" You should go visit him again. See if you can convince him to check into a hospital or something " she said as she sat next to me.

" I guess so. I just...I hate seeing him like this. He slowly killing himself. It hurts me as well. I don't want to see him rotting away in a hospital either though " I replied.

" I know Jay, but it's for the best. He can't hurt himself in the hospital and they'll give him medications that'll hopefully help him " she spoke.

" Medication won't do anything for him. It never has. Every other time he's always let me help him, nurse him back to a state stable enough for living. I know he'll never truly be happy but I've always been the one to help him out of these depressive episodes. " I said.

" well then you need to be that person again. Even if he doesn't want your help you need to help him. He's dying Jay, right before our eyes. " Vanessa said.

" I know but how can I help him if he won't even speak to me? " I asked.

" You still have the spare key to his apartment?"

" yeah "

" go over there. Try to convince him that he does need help "

" I will. "

I got up off the couch, grabbing my hoodie and slipping on my shoes.

I then grabbed my lanyard with all my keys on it and rushed out the door.

I rushed to my car, getting in.

I turned on the ignition and pulled out of my driveway.

I drove all the way to Aron's place.

Once I parked my car I got out and jogged up to the doors of the building.

I walked inside and then made my way up the steps.

I got to his floor, walking till I came to his apartment.

I knocked on the door.

No answer.

I knocked again. " Aron, it's me" I said.

Still no answer.

I put my key in the lock only to find it was already unlocked.

I pushed the door open, stepping inside.

I closed it behind me.

" Aron?" I called out.

No reply so I didn't it a few more times.

I searched around the living room but no sign of him.

I then searched the rest of his house but didn't find him.

When I searched his bedroom I noticed the bathroom light was on.

I cautiously approached it, pushing the door open.

I stepped inside, looking around.

My eyes finally landed on him and went wide.

" Aron!" I cried out.
