what just happened??
At 17, I was a depressed teenager who self harmed and wondered about just how painful it could possibly be to end my life.
Right now, I’m laying on the couch, and I can hear my husband reading our four year old a bedtime story using silly voices.
Life gets better. Make sure you’re there to see it.
request: Okay okay so what about Jacob Barber having the worst day ( maybe because Ben and Derek were jerks to him ) so he calls his gf when he gets home and asks her to come over and cuddle. When she hears his sad tone, she rushes over there and he’s like “ can you hold me for a while “ and how can she say no to that? So she lets him rest on her and plays with his hair until they both fall asleep ( bonus if Andy finds them like that ) thank youuu 💘
warnings: homophobic slurs, physical violence
authors note: i love this so much 🥺 i love writing cuddle fics you have no idea! im sorry this took so long to deliver :( also, i’m apart of the lgbtq+ community :) i would never use any slur that didn’t belong to me.
jacob dropped his bag onto the floor of his room. he ran his hand over his face, sighing heavily as he rubbed his tired eyes.
today wasn’t very good. in fact, it wad the opposite of good. and it was all bens fault, like usual.
“sup, faggot” ben sneered. he laughed cruelly as he slapped jacob up the back of the head, jacob dropping his books to cradle it.
“hows your girlfriend going?” the rifkin boy asked. jacob hesitated, why the hell was he asking about you? “she’s been good, i guess” jacob mumbled lowly, “why do you care?”
ben smirked, ignoring the end of jacobs sentence “oh really? thats great. i was actually hoping i could talk to you about her. yeah, was hoping you’d let me tap that tonight. been wanting to for awhile, but i thought i’d be polite and ask first.”
jacob clenched his eyes shut. he was trying to get the memory out of his head, bens a fucking bitch, no doubt, and he was nothing more than that. jacob wouldn’t let someone so pathetic bother him.
“e-excuse me?” jacob turned to face ben. originally, he had his back turned to ben so he couldn’t see his discomfort, but he didn’t care right now.
“you heard me” ben laughed, “so can i? she’d definitely say yes, i’ve seen her all around school with you. hanging off of you like some dumb slut, but thats what she is right?”
jacob’s face screwed up, “fuck off, dickhead!” he yelled.
bens face fell to a more serious expression. “what did you say to me?”
“i said, fuck o-!” jacob was stopped mid sentence from ben’s fist colliding with his face. he stumbled back, tripping over his feet and falling to the ground.
“who fucking said you could speak to me that way?” ben shouted before he kicked jacob in the stomach.
when he didn’t get an answer, he crouched down to jacobs level “learn some fucking respect” he spat at him.
jacob frowned. he rubbed his stomach, there was a purple bruise in the middle where ben had hit him. it wasn’t really sore, more an achy type of pain.
luckily for him, bens punch didn’t leave a mark, so he didn’t have anything to hide.
he bent down and grabbed his bag. he winced, the pain of his sore torso being crumpled kicking it.
jacob pulled out his phone. if anyone could make him feel better, it’d be you.
he went into his contacts, pressed ‘y/n 💘’ and waited for you to pick up.
ring, ring, ri-
“heyy” he could practically hear your smile through the phone. “hey baby” he tiredly smiled.
“how are you? do you need something?” you questioned him. “can you come over please?” he asked, “i need you.”
butterflies filled in your stomach and a blush covered your cheeks. “of course i can, how could i say no to you?”
jacob chuckled from the other end of the line “get here soon please, i need cuddles.”
“okay, i’m leaving now. i’ll see you in ten minutes!” you grabbed your house key from your desk. it had your house keys, a charm or two and a key to jacob’s house. andy had given it to you a few months ago incase of emergencies.
“i love you” jacob hummed. “i love you too” you whispered back, “i’ll see you soon.”
its a ten minute walk from your house to jacobs, so you got there the usual time later. you pushed the front door open and walked up the staircase to jacobs room.
when you opened the door, jacob was laying on his bed in comfy clothes. t-shirt and sweats.
when jacob heard the door opening, he shot up off of the bed to hug you. his arms wrapped around your middle, nuzzling his face into your neck. you immediately hugged him back, your arms slung around his neck.
you pulled away and cupped his cheeks in your hands. “hey, are you okay?” you pressed a quick kiss to his lips before he could answer.
jacob gave you a tired smile “just ben being a dick, but i’m better now that you’re here.” “you’re so cheesy, shut up” you laughed.
“can we cuddle?” jacob pouted.
you nodded, kicking your shoes off and following him back to the bed.
jacob wrapped himself around you, clinging onto you like a child. his head buried back in your neck, arms around your waist again.
your hands combed through his hair and jacob sighed in content. he loved when you played with his hair, it made him feel as peace.
“i’m sorry you had a bad day” you mumbled, pressing kisses onto the crown of his head.
jacob hummed in response. his fingers had pushed your shirt up slightly and were caressing the skin of your hips.
“it’s okay, thank you for coming over” he replied. “i’m tired” jacob yawned after his sentence, proving his point.
“go to sleep, baby. you had a long day” you said.
jacob nodded into your neck, “goodnight, babe.” “goodnight jake” you smiled.
it didn’t take long for him to fall asleep while you ran your fingers through his hair, finger nails scratching lightly at his scalp.
you fell asleep soon after. the two of you were still clinging together, napping at 5:37 when andy came home.
“hey kiddo!” andy greeted, walking into jacobs room. his smile fell when he saw the two of you, but it returned almost immediately after.
“this is too cute” andy mumbled, pulling his phone out to take a photo.
“dad?” jacob groaned. andy yelped in surprise, running out of the room and down the stairs.
“dad!”
