Brian finally managed to contact Jay after about a month into the Marble Hornets film. He knew this would probably not end well for the young film student to hear the bad news about his boyfriend; his short temper becoming worse as well as it seemed his mental stability seemed to be steadily decreasing. It had been a few weeks since Alex had even picked up his cell phone to even text instead only using it to keep alarms on when to change the tape in his camera he kept on him at all times.

Brian looked down at the floor as the phone rang before hearing footsteps behind him, he turned thinking it was Alex come home early but found Tim looking at him seriously a second before coming over to him, wrapping his arms around him lovingly, resting his head on Brian's shoulder a second. "Put it on speaker. "Tim said after a second before nuzzling his boyfriend who nodded a little and did as he was told, he waited for a few more seconds before hearing the phone pick up and hearing Jay's voice "Hello?"

"Uh, hey Jay, this is Brian and Tim…we wanted to tell you something…well, it's about Alex." Brian began sounding a little unsure of himself as he talked. Tim was looking at Brian a moment before letting go to cough, leaving the room a second so he didn't cough up blood in front of Brian so he wouldn't be worried. Brian stopped talking a second as Tim left but didn't follow him too busy with telling Jay, he would check on Tim soon, besides he knew Tim wanted him to not be worried about him because he considered himself a man and men should not be worried about.

"What about Alex?" Jay replied after a second sounding worried before Tim had started coughing and left the room "Is Tim ok too?" he finally asked after a moment over the phone. Brian looked in Tim's direction a second before looking back at the window that was still covered with blinds and now blankets to keep any sign of daylight out of their house,

"Tim's fine, listen; something is really freaking Alex out." He said after a moment "He won't admit it but-dude he put blankets over the windows to stop light from coming in the house. If I didn't know better I'd say he was a vampire." Brian said as if trying to lighten the mood a little but Jay wasn't laughing so Brian sighed a little "He's acting weird Jay, he's been really pissed off lately and-" He was about to say more when he heard a car pull up into the driveway "Look I got to go now but I'll call you later ok? You need to hear me out on this."

Jay paused a second before saying "Alright." He let Brian hang up before putting the phone down and sighing himself. He sat down on the couch, putting his knees to his chest before resting his head on his legs, shaking a little as he felt himself begin to cry, it was one thing to be without Alex for a couple days but he hadn't called in two weeks and now Brian was telling him that something was wrong with his partner; Jay was worried sick and desperate from lack of communication with Alex.

"Alex you said e-everything would be ok." He whispered to himself worried sick something bad had happened to his boyfriend. He called Alex's phone a second but after a few rings it went to voice mail causing Jay to feel absolutely helpless without anyway to get ahold of Alex now.

"Please call me- I need to hear your voice Alex.' He texted to Alex's phone, it was about 10 minutes before he finally received a reply, it probably wasn't meant to sound cold but it striked him as cold as ice as he read the text message that came onto his phone 'Waste of phone battery Jay. Sorry." It said causing Jay to feel absolutely unloved for the first time in their year long relationship "Oh well-happy anniversary anyway….." Jay just replied beck before setting his phone down hiding his face and tears in his jean fabric before looking at his phone that received no reply over their one year anniversary before Jay desperately threw his phone trying to relieve some stress listening to it clatter against the wooden floor of his apartment before sobbing again. His phone began to ring and Jay slowly got up from his couch to look at the phone, Alex was actually calling him, he picked his up, wiping the tears away quickly.

"A-Alex..."He said after a second.

"Look, I can't talk long." Alex said sounding a tad bit annoyed causing Jay to feel bad once again "What is it?" Alex said after a second, he wasn't acting like himself, this wasn't the Alex he had fallen in love with, and he wanted to know where he went and who the person in his place was. How could Alex have become this? It didn't even seem possible.

"I just-I just needed to hear your voice…"Jay said after a second chocking on a sob, Alex was silent a moment before sighing a little but said nothing for a moment "Alex…w-why haven't you called me it's been weeks."

"Look-I'm sorry. Things are just…hectic to say the least. You can come over tonight if you want. But you need to be here before dark and you can't leave until morning alright?" Alex finally said after a moment before sighing one more time "Jay-I love you. Don't think I don't, things are just really bad right now. I'm sorry if I haven't been here for you lately."

Now that was the Alex Jay knew and loved, he nodded even though Alex couldn't see it, leaning his hand on the couch a second as he leaned against it a second. "O-Ok." Jay finally said "I-I love you too. I'm sorry I'm being such a mess, I'm just worried about you are all."

"Ok, well I'll be here when you come see me, I'm fine alright? You don't have to worry about me…at least not yet." He whispered the last part to himself "All right, I have to go I've already wasted enough battery on this phone call, I'll see you soon." With that he hung up leaving Jay with an earful of the disconnected sound on the phone before he slowly closed the phone and putting it in his pocket before going towards the door so he could go to Alex's house.

Jay finally arrived to the house, wiping the tears from his eyes one last time before looking at the house. The grass in their front yard looked unkept, dirty, and filled with disgusting weeds around the sidewalk. Jay ignored the front yard as he made his way to the door, knowing onto it before Alex came to the door, opening the door for Jay a second before walking quietly into the once again dirty living room. It looked even worse. Drawings Alex made were scattered all around the house, most of them in the living room but a few leading up the stairs into his room.

Jay sat on the couch quietly a second as Alex sat down beside him quietly before seeing Jay had been crying a lot more than he had thought he had. Alex moved an arm around his boyfriend trying to make him feel better.

"I'm so sorry, I made you cry." Alex whispered, Jay hid his face in Alex's shoulder quietly trying to hide the fact he started tearing up a little again before he shook his head.

"don't apologize I was-just worried about you, you never stopped talking to me for two weeks straight, normally I would think you were busy with the film but I heard you stopped the production a couple days ago…"

Alex looked at Jay a second with a small frown he didn't want Jay disappointed in the fact he didn't finish his film project "Well-It turned out really bad." Alex said after a moment causing Jay to look at him curiously with those wide eyes of his "The actors were terrible, the locations were not good places at all- the conditions in general were unworkable." He said and Jay nodded a little kissing Alex again.

"But it was your baby Alex; you've been working on it for years." Jay stated "we could find some new actors and a new location-"

"No Jay. It's fine, drop it." Alex said sounding like he really didn't want to talk about the film at all causing Jay to blink, it used to be Alex would never stop talking about the film but it seemed to be the exact opposite now. Jay felt bad, mostly because he felt it was partially his fault the film went bad because he was the script supervisor.

They stayed there for a good hour or two before Alex got up taking Jay upstairs so they could go to be. Jay followed him upstairs into his room. It was weird, his walls were usually bare but now pictures he had drawn were stapled to his wall, a few of what looked like a tall stickperson another was a circle with a X drawn through it. Jay didn't know what those meant, he thought maybe Alex was working on another film and drawing ideas for it.

Alex didn't say anything about the, he just laid on the bed, holding Jay close to him before looking at the young man in his arms. "Don't leave the room until morning; it's for your own ?" Jay nodded a little looking a little sleepy but said nothing just resting his head on Alex's shoulder before falling asleep in his boyfriend's arms.
