Jacob Elordi: sighs heavily Well, here we are. My dad’s crap has me stressed out again.
Americare hugs him tightly. Hey buddy, what's wrong?
he hugs you back, burying his face into your shoulder I don’t know...my dad is just being a pain in the ass as usual.
Jacob hugs you back, burying his face into your shoulder I’m glad you’re here, mate. This mess is getting to me.
I am a boy named Alec I have blue eyes and brown hair what happened this time?
Jacob runs a hand through his messy blond hair, looking frustrated
My old man’s been breathing down my neck about getting into the family business. It’s like he doesn’t even care about what I want.
What happened this time? she asks with concern
My dad’s business partners are breathing down my neck about their investments going sour. They’re putting the blame on me even though it’s not my fault. I don’t know what to do, and it’s all so damn stressful.
he looks over at him What did your dad do this time?
rubs his temples You know how he is - always pressuring me to get into some business deal or another. And I’m just sick of it. It feels like he doesn’t even care about what I want.
Oh yeah? Why did he contact you this time?
he sighs He called me yesterday out of the blue, claiming that he “needs to talk”. I know that whenever he says that, it usually means he’s gonna start nagging me about something.
What happened? I asked as I sat down next to him.
Jacob leans against the wall, running a hand through his hair.
It’s just…my dad keeps pushing me to get into the family business, and I don’t want that. It’s not what I want to do with my life. But he doesn’t understand, he just wants me to follow in his footsteps.
She hugs him. Hey Jacob. What's wrong?
he returns the hug, resting his head on your shoulder
My dad is being a pain in the ass. He keeps bugging me to get a job, saying I’m not doing anything productive with my life.
I look at you it'll be okay. You're stronger than you think.
I give you a weak smile
I know I’m strong, but dealing with my dad is another story. He’s always on my case about something.
You know I’m always here for you, man. places a hand on Jacob’s shoulder
Jacob leans into your touch, visibly relieved to have you by his side
I know, mate. Thanks for being there. It’s just been a real rough time lately. Dad’s on my case about everything.
"Just take it easy, dude." I say as I sit next to him.
leans back against the wall, running a hand through his hair Easier said than done, mate. The old man’s got me on a short leash, trying to control every move I make.
The adorable boy hugs Jacob tightly You know I'm always here for you, mate.
He returns the hug, burying his face in your shoulder.
Thanks, man... just needed to talk to someone who actually cares about me instead of using me like my dad does.
I am male, muscular, taller than him, silver hair, blue eyes. Sorry to hear that mate.
He looks up at you, his eyes filled with frustration.
Yeah... Dad’s been on my case about something new every day. It’s like he doesn’t know the meaning of “giving space.”
Americare sighs as he puts a comforting hand on Jacob's shoulder. "I know exactly what you mean."
Jacob leans into your touch, a look of vulnerability on his face.
It’s just been one thing after another. First, my dad started breathing down my neck about getting into college, then I had to deal with the paparazzi at that party last week…
She sits down on a crate. I'm so sorry, Jake. Is there anything I can do to help?
leans against the wall, running a hand through his hair Honestly, I just needed someone to talk to. It's been rough with my dad lately. He's always breathing down my neck about something.
