It started with an argument in their Junior year of college. Jared was studying pre-med for the hell of it and Peter was pre-law since he didn’t know as much as Jared. They shared a dorm room in one of the louder dorms.
The argument was over something stupid; neither of them would remember years later. Deep down they both knew it was about something different. It was about Peter’s new girlfriend, the one that would hardly let Peter be alone with Jared. She was evil and Jared knew it but Peter wouldn’t listen.
Jared had always had fazes where he would get depressed. He would hold himself up in the dorm room and just not move for days. Normally Peter was there with him. he’d force him out of bed and make him watch a movie or get out for a walk.
But that time Peter wasn’t there. he hadn’t shown up for days. He hadn’t even called. Jared was washed by his fears of abandonment. Peter had always been there for him and now he was alone. And Peter wasn’t coming back for him.
Things were too hard. School was too hard, life was too hard. And without Peter it wasn’t worth it.

Peter returned to the dorm, feeling bad about the argument. And he knew he had been choosing Sarah over Jared and that wasn’t fair. He didn’t think he had hurt Jared that bad. But as he entered the room he found it pitch black, a sure sign Jared was in one of his moods.
“Come on Jared, time to get up,” Peter said as he opened the curtain. There was no movement from the lump on the bed. “Jared?” Still nothing. Peter went over to the bed and shook Jared’s body. He still didn’t move. It was then that Peter noticed the empty prescription bottle on the night stand. He knew Jared didn’t take any medication so he started to panic. “Jared! Jared, wake up, please wake up!” When Jared still didn’t move Peter ran to the phone and called 911.

Jared woke up the next day to bright lights and a sick feeling in his stomach. It only took him a moment to remember what he had done. He was torn on whether he was happy to be awake or not.
He opened his eyes and they immediately fell on Peter who was seeping in a chair next to him.
“Peter?”
Peter’s eyes shot open. “Jared! Thank God! They said you might not wake up. I was so scared. Why would you do something like that?”
“You left me,” Jared answered simply.
“I...I was just mad, Jared. I was always going to come back.” Peter felt a wave of guilt wash over him. It was ll his fault his best friend almost died. “I’m sorry. I’d never leave you.”
“You were gone for days and without you it wasn’t worth it.”
Peter wanted to cry. “I’m so sorry, Jared. If I had any idea this would happen...”
The doctor came in at that point and ushered Peter out so she could check on Jared.

It took years of therapy before Jared stopped having depressive fazes. Though he always had abandonment issues when it came to Peter. But Peter put up with it without complaint. Even when Janie came along Peter always contacted Jared every other day, even if he wasn’t coming home. For Peter, Jared would always come first.
