Jed was angry. He so angry, he didn’t know why. Every time something made him angry he felt like he was gonna explode; like his body had reached the maximum capacity of anger he could hold, and if he didn’t do anything about he would die. He wanted to scream he want to fucking strangle someone. God damn it!
"Hey, are you alright?”
He looked up. Octavius.
“Hi…”
Octavius sat down next, inching closer. It took Jed a moment to realize he was staring at him.
“What?”
“Are you alright my friend?”
“I-…” he paused, "l don’t know.”
I’m not fine. I’m never fine.
He had gotten so used to saying he’s fine.
I don’t know anymore.
“No. I’m sorry.”
Octavius shifted to look him in the eye.
“For what?”
Jed’s eyes started watering.
“It hurts!”
His eyes widened in concern.
“What does. Tell me what’s wrong.”
Jed leaned into the other man.
“Everything..” he chocked through sobs.
“I feel like I’m going to explode! I’m so angry.. I don’t know why!”
Octavius pulled him closer, "lt will be alright, we’ll be fine.”
