Jimmy's Perspective-

Jimmy looked out the window in Grian's dad's car.

Grian was looking worriedly at his friend.

Just then, his phone buzzed.

He checked it and started tapping on Jimmy's shoulder furiously.

"What?" Jimmy asked, well, more like snapped.

Grian winced a bit and Jimmy quickly apologized.

"I'm just really upset."

"Well..." Grian looked at the message, "I don't know if this is good news or bad news."

"What?"

Grian showed Jimmy the message he got from Mumbo.

'Scott came up to us right when you left. He was crying since he just got rejected by Owen. He's really messed up; it seems like something else has been bothering him. Wanna try and help him on Monday?'

Jimmy sighed shakily.

Grian patted his back.

Jimmy continued his cry from before and hugged his friend.

-

Jimmy walked into his home and saw that Lizzie and Joel were cuddled up on the couch, watching scary movies.

"Hey Jim!" Joel waved over at Jimmy.

Jimmy put on a fake smile as he waved back.

Lizzie looked over at Jimmy and frowned.

"What's wrong." She asked.

"Nothing." Jimmy said, turning away.

He was about to walk away but his sister walked up to him.

She grabbed her brother's face and led him to where there was light.

"Why have you been crying." She asked gently.

"What do you mean?"

"Jim don't lie to me. I can see and feel the tears on your face. What happened. I thought you were at your friend's party."

Jimmy started crying again, "I was but then S-Scott confessed his l-love to Owen and got r-rejected and I l-left early since I t-thought it would w-work out and now Scott's h-having a panic a-attack and it's all m-my f-fault!"

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not your fault." Lizzie said, hugging him.

Jimmy hugged back and cried.

"B-but it is though! He n-needs me and I'm just f-fucking s-stupid and- "

"Shhh." Lizzie cut him off.

After a couple more minutes, Jimmy calmed down and walked upstairs.

"Mom and dad are at our neighbors party, but they'll be home later." Lizzie said, kissing her brother goodnight.

"Me and Joel will be downstairs if you need anything."

Jimmy nodded silently.

"I'm really sorry this happened tonight.
Especially with Scott." Lizzie said, smiling at him, "But just know, maybe it'll work out. Just try and be there for Scott as a friend; he just got rejected and is probably heartbroken. I would say help him through that before anything else."

And she left.

Jimmy turned over to face his window and sighed.

He saw lights that came from the street as kids flashlights turned on.

He closed his eyes, tears twinkling in them.

He slowly drifted off into sleep, worrying about what Monday would bring him.
