As Jacob listened to the whole speech- the whole secrets, processing the fact he had just giving Hazel a hug and that fact that they was also a huge and a huge chance she might die the next day or in hours- you never really know with heart problems, Jacob also had to process one more thing out of all the things he had to process. That Fern Briggs was gay.
And that’s not a problem and anything, like Jacob is not homophobic he’s a floater, he’s chill like that and now it seems he has a lesbian ish sister? Was she a lesbian or bisexual? Jacob had no idea, but when Fern had confessed Jacob couldn’t help but blurt out, “Why are they so many gay people here? Like who else gay,” he winced when he realized how offensive that sounded, 'Actually I am sorry I did not mean it that way, I love gay people and all and i think there should be more of you guys you know and my twin is a lesbian- bisexual, I don’t know but she is having a relationship with ex so that means something and I’m just really nervous but umm," jacob scratched, “Go you guys, live your truth,” Jacob said trying to find the whole worlds, you know probably he should shut up- he was never really good with words when he thought about it and now that his whole life was insane, he was even worst with words like terrible, so he just sat down, staring at Hazel with a sad expression on his face-, she couldn’t just die like that. She could not- he had already seen the dead body of his old teacher and he did not want to see the dead body of his crush and dear frriend. As he continued to stare at Hazel who was opposite to him, Jacob did not realize what Jb had said about her secrets till Alissa had asked about someone having a pet bird, “Wait who has a pet bird?”
He looked at reece for help when everyone turned to him giving him looks, "I’m sorry i just can’t handle a lot of information thrown at me, " And that was why if it was not for Alissa, he would not be in the status he was and though he was still a little bit upset with her and sad and confused- all three, there were times he was thankful for what Alissa had done for meeting Hazel, and though he would never say this out loud he was grateful for detention in a way. Detention was what made Jacob find out about Hazel, which he suspected if not for the fact they were telling each other secrets, he would have never found out till the day she died or went into a coma.
