    Summary

    In another world, maybe, they met as kids.

    Here, Matt's made a second pass at killing himself, his little sister inherited a restrictive guardianship over him after the recent death of their mother, and his visions of a best friend that doesn't really exist are giving him the silent treatment. He's determined to get out of the hospital and finish what he started, but when his visions return to him they reveal something he'd never thought could be possible:

    Jay is real. Jay exists in this timeline without him, and is leading a miserable existence of his own.

    Thankfully, Jay's already told Matt how to fix things.

    Summary

    Matt thought he was kidding, but he did move. He clumsily took his pants off without standing and he got under the covers, leaving enough room for Matt. Matt felt like his blood was carbonated. He got up and turned off his desk lamp. This was happening. He carefully crawled over Jay, got under the covers. He faced the wall. Behind him he felt Jay roll onto his side, facing Matt, breath dampening the back of his shirt. Jay pushed his forehead between Matt's shoulder blades.

    "Night, MJ," Jay mumbled, half-asleep and still slightly drunk.

    "Night, Bird," Matt whispered. He burned where Jay touched him, felt it radiate through his chest. This was all completely normal. Jay was his best friend. He could still come back from this.
