My heart is breaking right now and for once it's not about me or Kevin or my two dads or my mom. It actually has nothing to do with me whatsoever at the moment and for a 16-year-old, it's quite an accomplishment to actually focus on someone else for a change. This moment is about my friend Jade. She's going through a lot right now and all I can do is be there for her- support her and try not walk away from her like everyone else.
It must be painful for Jade. She's not really accepted by the people of Oakdale. I understand that part of her that doesn't want to be alone. I don't know how I get it but I do and out of everyone around else I'm probably the only who's even bothered to try to get to know the real Jade. Anyway, I understand why she lies and schemes and fights so hard not to fall too far away from the forefront of everyone's thoughts. Because she's different. I'm different too, which is why I sympathize with her need to be acknowledged and validated.
Ok maybe I'm making her story sound way more pathetic than it actually is but I'm just trying to reason out why she would go to such lengths to keep Will in her life and to keep Gwen out of Will's life. Jade told me she was pregnant. I believed her. I supported her. I'm the one who went to Will and told him he needed to be there for Jade too since it was his baby. I was a good friend to Jade.
And it was all for nothing. Jade's not pregnant. There never was a baby. Will isnt' going to be a dad. And technically, there's nothing keeping Will and Gwen apart anymore. Jade finally confessed the truth to me after I confronted her on her lies. Dr. Norris told me she wasn't pregnant but I had to see for myself. I peaked at Jade's file and it turns out she's actually not pregnant. I want to be angry at Jade but all I feel is pity for her. Did she really think a baby was going to make Will fall in love with her and forget about Gwen? Does she really think anything could ever really come between Will and Gwen?
A baby can't solve problems, Jade.
