"This isn't going as planned, Jake," I complained.
"It is, just give it time," he encouraged me.
"Time? At this point I feel like I'm wasting my time," I said and sighed heavily in frustration.
"What do you want to do now?" He curiously asked.
"I want to leave Town for now and start afresh. When I make it, I'll come back and face Beverley head-on as well as Clifford and Arleen," I informed him.
"Where do you want to go and restart?" Jacob curiously inquired.
"Someplace low-key but good to start up anything," I said.
"I'll help you."
"Don't worry Jake, I want to do this on my own," I said instead and he frowned.
"Why do you find it hard to take my help?"
"Because it makes me look weak." I said.
"I am your friend for goodness sake! What are friends for?" He asked me and I could clearly see he was offended.
