it doesn't have to be jared, he just looks dirty and homeless, which is kind of what i want him for. just someone she met on the street in new york when she was on her own and they kind of looked out for each other, or someone she played with to make money in the subway. but for sky, she could either a friend from back in la that jess grew up with, or they could have met when they both got arrested for different things, or they could have met at a house party in new york where jess od'd and she called the cops.
