Sometimes best friends are what we need to help get through certain emotions and they act as the emotional compass-Jasper seems to be Henry's emotional compass. They had been best friends since they were 5 years old.
They seem to know each other's emotional states better than normal friendships. They seem to understand each other in a way that nobody else really understood. Being best friends since 5 years old might have something to with that.
Their friendship seemed to be a unique one for that specific reasoning/purpose. Jasper is sometimes the only one who can handle Henry. Yes their friend Charlotte knows how to deal with him but not really in the way that Jasper can.
It's almost like Jasper can sense Henry's mood changes and knows what to do. More often than not,Charlotte provided the voice of reason. Charlotte is the voice of reason for the boys. It's like Jasper and Henry have some sort of close bond with each other.
