Jayden wasn't willing to help anyone. He sat on the spot as if he hadn't heard anything. He wanted to move and do something. He knew he should do something but he didn't.
"Jayden come on man! Let's help around." Braylan said.
"I am not feeling well, Braylan! I am sorry. You guys continue." He replied, hating himself for lying. After what he did in the morning, the least he could do was help them around.
I should help them! It would be like making up for what I did. He thought, but the thought didn't match his action. He wanted to sit on the couch and sleep forever. After his lie, no one bothered him. They let him sit on the couch and didn't disturb him at all.
