Jayden knew if he let guilt silence him he would end up in a hospital bed again, and Jesse wasn't the only one who didn't want to see that happen.
"I'm sorry," Jayden said, his tone serious and guilty. "Jesse, I...I've been thiking about that a lot lately," he admitted. "About how much worry I caused you. I didn't think I mattered, but I couldn't see how much I mattered to you. I hurt you. And now this. I just- Jesse, I won't- You won't have to worry about that any more okay? I won't starve myself again. Even when I have bad days now and I don't care about myself, I think about you and I can't hurt myself because I can't hurt you. I love you."
