Part 1: Jackers wishes he could fly.
(Set in Season 5, episode 100 light years from home.
What am I doing? I am not sure anymore. To people I seem
to not care that I am failing school, that I have completely fucked
up my life. I keep trying to project this image that I am the happy
partyier. Which isn't me exactly? I am tired of this struggle,
trying to live up to people's expectations, to live up to my
expectations. I have this thought in my head that I have to do
something good, since my whole life seems at times a political
struggle.
Damn, I shouldn't say that. It reminds me of Tobey. I
really fucked it up with him. I wish I could take it back and start
over. I really liked him. I feel bad that I don't know how to make
people I love top priority. I don't even know how to make myself
top priority. And now he has another boyfriend, probably one he is
going to be with for a long time. And he is probably a great
boyfriend. One who will probably drop everything at a drop of a hat.
I am going to end up lonely for the rest of my life.
So, I have
been finding myself climbing the roof, and sitting up here. I wonder
what it would be like to jump into the swimming pool. I wonder if I
would drown. Would anyone care? What am I saying, I guess people will
care. But I don't care anymore. I am not worth it. I am a
disgrace.
Jen and Joey came by earlier and got me down to go to
the store. I am seeing the suspicion in Jen's eyes that she is
starting to worry about me, but I can't tell her. Especially the
talks we had a long time ago about teen suicide, except then, I was
asking her if she needed the intervention. The truth is though, I
know I probably need one, I don't want one. I would rather use
alcohol to try to mask my problems. Not a good solution I know, but
it is better than other solutions.
I had a feeling the other day
before spring break, that something is wrong with me. I went to the
free psych center to get an evaluation. I didn't tell anyone this.
Apparently, I have depression. I am not thrilled about this, with my
family history. I don't want to be on drugs for the rest of my
life. And why shouldn't I be depressed, all I manage to do is fuck
things up. I have a feeling that any future relationship I am going
to fuck up. I mean my batting average is not the greatest, I broke up
with Joey because I realized I was gay, I lost Ethan because I didn't
have the courage to be what he wanted, I lost Tobey because I am a
stupid fucking idiot, who cared more about that stupid fraternity. I
don't even remember why me and Kate broke up, but I mean it isn't
like she probably hasn't found some nice guy to love forever. And
that is my problem, I am never going to find someone who will just
accept me for the way that I am.
I am surprised at times I have
friends, since I have a tendency to push everyone away in my life.
Especially right now, I have been such an ass. I don't even know
why. There is no need for a complete change in a person's
personality, but I did. I guess it because I didn't want to be seen
as the sad lonely geek that I really am. No one wants someone who
thinks cereal should be eaten at all times, or who watches the
weather channel sometimes for fun.
Plus, a lot of people I know,
think because I am handsome, or whatever, that I am not supposed to
have problems. That I probably got everything easy in life, and there
is no need for me to have problems. That if I wanted I could conquer
the world. The truth is, I can't. I haven't had it easy, and I am
human I have problems.
Right now I know I have a major one but I
am not sure what to do. It looks like everyone else has gone off
somewhere. I wonder if I could jump into the pool. Damn, there is
Dawson. I will make him drink I am drunker than I am. "Dawson
Leery, is that you? WOOHOO."
"Jack, is that you?" He starts
walking towards me.
"Hey check me out man! WOO!" I walk closer
to the edge of the roof.
He laughs nervously. "Be careful up
there."
I wonder what I should tell him. That I am dancing with
death, then, it hits me. I stretch my arms wider. "Hey, look, I can
fly."
He seems to be concerned, and he is getting closer to me.
"Hey, why don't you get down."
"Ok, I'll be right down."
I dive off the roof into the pool, and let the water take me.
