Kenneth closed his eyes, unable to cry anymore even if he wanted to. He slowly ran his hand over the puppy's back until he managed some sad excuse for sleep, only to be awake a few minutes later when the puppy started crying. "Shh, little princess.." He mumbled, giving her the bottle.

Jordan just continued to stare until he fell asleep, exhausted. Fingers dug into the blanke and at one point when he jerked awake his neck was stiff because his pillow was still in the kitchen. He drifted off again, gasping softly in panic as he buried his face, and eventually relaxed.

Kenneth finally fell asleep when the puppy finished her bottle, tucking it back under his pillow. He screamed when he was woken up with a pillow in the face, trying to shove it away.
"You look like hell. Wake up." Knox said, and Kenneth sat up, wiping at his eyes.
"I'd think so, you selfish fuck."

Jordan had awaken not long before, flinching at the scream. He just stared dully at the blanket hugged tightly to himself, his gaze distant. He didn't know what to think, was upset and confused and hurt all in one. He studied the bruises on his wrist, then turned his eyes to the wall.

Kenneth climbed out of bed, walking to the kitchen to fix the puppy another bottle of milk. He climbed back into his bunk, laying down and feeding it to her quietly. Thee depression he felt was something he'd never experienced before. All he wanted to do was hide.

Jordan felt a tear drip from his nose but didn't bother wipe it was. He was surprised he even had tears left to cry, felt like Knox had only made things worse.

Kenneth ran his hand gently over the little puppy's back, watching her sleepily. He picked her up, holding her close as he walked to Jordan's bunk. He leaned up, sitting here there before he walked to the bathroom to shower.

Jordan bit down on his lip as he watched him go. He hugged the puppy close as he got up and climbed carefully from the bunk, bruises more prominant now. Grabbing a yogurt he wandered to the tv and turned it on, flipping to tosh.o as he sat down and stared blankly at the screen, not bothering eat what he'd taken from the fridge.

Kenneth carefully taped his nose, despite how painful it was. He covered the bruises under his eyes with the make-up all of them seemed to have despite none of them actually using it. He walked out of the bathroom in his towel, figuring he could at least pass for running into a door. "Love you." He said quietly as he passed Jordan.

Jordan barely heard him, looking up after he had passed. "You too..." He whispered brokenly, curling up with the puppy on the couch. Angel paused and handed him some cream cover up. "For your jaw and wrists."
Jordan didn't touch it until her was gone, and picked it up, setting it on the table with the unopened yogurt.

Kenneth put a piece of toast on to eat, walking back to his bunk to pull on a pair of jeans he wasn't going to bother buttoning. He walked back to the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of water and his toast before he sat on the counter, figuring if Jordan couldn't tell him he loved him, he wasn't going to bother sitting with him.

Jordan raised his head tiredly when Kenneth returned to the kitchen and didn't come back out. He got up, stumbling dizzily as he headedtowards his bunk again, shrinking back until Knox passed before he climbed up and pulled the curtains closed.

"If the puppy's in there and you sit on her, Knoxville, we're both going to have a broken face." Kenneth said, taking a bite out of his toast.
"I'm not gonna sit on your stupid dog, Kenny." He said in a sassy tone, flipping the tv. Kenneth was about to say Jordan was watching something before he caught himself. 'He really didn't love me.. I'm just not as crazy as everyone else..' He thought, choking back tears.

Jordan stared at the ceiling, fresh tears blurring his vision as he cradled the puppy against his chest. The events and shame, hurt going through him, on top of suddenly being torn from any access to pills instead of easing off of them made it hard to even want to breathe. He just wanted Kenneth, wanted everything to be okay again. But what if Kenneth didn't want him back..? He drew in a panicked breath, head spinning.

"That puppy isn't stupid, Knoxville.." He said, looking blankly at the tv. "She almost drowned and I found her and if it weren't for me and Jordan, she would have died. So she's not stupid. That's our puppy and you have no right to be calling anyone stupid but yourself. You can't even keep your friends in one piece.."
