Jayden closed his eyes and he leaned against the counter, slowly sinking to the floor until his knees were tight under his chin. He was so thin he folded neatly in half, his arms wrapped around his ankles.
Jesse just couldn't understand. Jayden knew just how worthless he was, and nothing his brother said was going to change that. He found himself glad Jesse hadn't figured it out though. It meant there was someone who still loved him. "If you could possibly take your time before figuring out how wrong you are, I'd really appreciate it," Jayden murmured. "Because I love you and I don't want you to toss me aside yet."
