Jake and the Other Girl by Emmy Laybourne
2.0
Okay so this was of course very short. Good. And I can see why people are angry about this because Jake left for a "stupid" reason. Yes it was stupid but part of it wasn't. He states that he couldn't return because he couldn't stand being useless and seeing disappointed faces. All the faces he saw that he knew on the hospital wall pushed him near the edge again.
Him going to see Lindsey was partly because he did actually care for her. However, his thoughts about sex were pathetic and ridiculous at a time of crisis. But it still got us a sense of him and to be honest he wasn't a great guy to like in 'Monument 14' to begin with and this was certainly not written to actually like him, just to know what he was doing and what he has been thinking.
I personally didn't like it but I still see the reason it was written
