Jesse was at home trying to make sure his mother was comfortable on the bed. The new treatment had started with even worse side effects than before. It was only the small hope that the treatment might actually be working that made the side effects bearable. Otherwise, she just looked sicker than before.

"How's Matt?" his mother asked out of nowhere.

"Mom, you need to stop worrying about other people. You need your rest."

"I'm fine Jesse, it's not like this is something completely new for me, you know?"

"Mom," Jesse said. "I don't know what to say to you anymore."

"So, don't. Just tell me how Matt is."

"He's fine, mom."

"You mean he must be fine?"

Jesse wondered for a second what he should respond with. "Yes," he confessed. "He must be fine. I have no idea because I haven't talked to him since…"

"Since, you spent an entire week at his place."

"Mom, I'm okay. We're just, sorting through some stuff."

His mother placed a hand on his arm. "I've never seen you this sad," she said. "It scares me."

It scares me too, mom. More than you know.

"It's just a break up," he told her. "Like any other break up. This stuff takes time."

"I hope that's all it is," she said. "If I find out that you were lying to me and there is something else, I'm going to be mad at you."

"There's nothing else, so you need to stop worrying about me," he said, and forced himself to say the next words with conviction. "I can take care of myself."
