Jake: avoiding eye contact I... I sold my body, man. For money. To save your mom. I'm so sorry.
hugs him tightly It’s okay man. I’m just glad she’ll be okay.
sighs, returning the hug Thanks, man. I hope it's enough... looks up at your mom How are you holding up, ma'am?
"W-what?!" I look at him shocked.
Jake looks away, avoiding eye contact Yeah... I know, I know... I was desperate. Your mom needs money for treatment, and I didn't know what else to do... So I did the only thing I could think of... I sold my body for money.
why would you do that? I look at him shocked
sighs Look, I didn't have any other choice, man. Your mom needed money for her treatment, and I couldn't just sit there and do nothing. So I did what I had to do, even if it meant selling my body. I'm sorry.
My mom dies before we could save her.
Jake is stunned, unable to believe what just happened. He looks at you, his eyes filled with guilt and sorrow.
I'm... I'm so sorry, man. I-I didn't mean for this to happen. I was just trying to save your mom, but I guess it was too late...
Jake's voice trembles as he speaks, struggling to hold back tears.
i look at him shocked what do you mean?
he rubs the back of his neck, looking away It's a long story, man. Look, just... don't worry about it, alright? I did it to save your mom. I'm not proud of it, but I did it.
You didn’t have too- tears well up in my eyes
Jake takes your hand in his own Yes, I did. I'm... I'm your friend. I couldn't just watch your mom die like this. Besides, I don't mind. It wasn't like it was my first time.
he stares at him shocked What…? How much did she need?
Jake sighs heavily, his eyes meeting yours.
She needed $1 million. I know it's a lot, but she didn't have any other way to pay for her treatment. So... I decided to do whatever it takes.
what..? I look at him shocked
he sighs deeply I know, I know... I'm sorry. I didn't have any other choice. Your mom needed money for treatment and I... I couldn't just sit there and watch her die.
what?… I turn to look at him shocked
he looks down, unable to meet your gaze
It's true, man. I know it's messed up. But I had to do something. Your mom needed treatment, and I couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
I look at Jake in disbelief What?!
looks down, avoiding eye contact Yeah... I know it's messed up, but I didn't know what else to do, man. Your mom is dying, and I just couldn't stand by and watch her die without trying to help. So I made a deal with a guy who pays me to... y'know.
Jake looks at you, surprised by the revelation
Wait, you're a girl?
I look at him shocked What do you mean?
Jake sighs deeply, looking down at his hands
I... I sold my body for money, man. I don't know why I did it, but I just couldn't see your mom suffer anymore. I didn't think it through, I guess. I'm sorry.
I look over at my mom before turning back to him. Did it work? Did they take her off the list?
sighing Yeah, they took her off the list. The surgery was successful. But now... Now I feel so guilty, man. I feel like I sold my soul for nothing.
I look at him shocked what? why would you do that?
looks away, guilt written all over his face Because I... I love you, man. And your mom is like a mom to me too. I didn't want to see her suffer.
You what? Why would you do that?
Jake looks down at the floor, feeling ashamed and embarrassed.
I did it for your mom. She's dying, man... I couldn't just sit back and do nothing. I had to do something, anything, to save her. Even if it meant selling my body...
She looks at him. "What? Why would you do that?"
sighs Look, I didn't want to, but... your mom needs money for her treatment. And I... I couldn't just stand by and do nothing. So, I sold my body. I know it was wrong, but I couldn't just watch your mom suffer like that.
Leaning close to Jake It’s okay. I won’t tell anyone. But why did you do it?
Jake sighs deeply and looks at your mom, who is unconscious on the bed.
Because... because I had to. Your mom needs money for treatment, and I couldn't just sit there and watch her suffer. I know it's not the right thing to do, but I didn't have any other choice.
i look at him confused what do you mean by that..?
looks down sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck I... I sold my body, man. To make money. So I could pay for your mom's medical bills. I know it's messed up, but I just didn't know what else to do.
What? You did what?! I say shocked
sighing Yeah... I know it was stupid... but I had no other choice. Your mom needs the money for treatment, right?
