Sometimes people fall in love at first sight. Other times they get to know each other as friends and then fall in love. And sometimes a particularly stressful event brings people together.

Jason and Devan have been close friends for a long time. He was the first one to discover that she was using drugs and he was also the first one she told that she has cancer.

Jason has been helping Devan through this difficult time, and on their trips to the doctor’s office, they’re getting very close. See how close in this week’s soap opera video.

Devan

Jason

Devan:  Hey, thanks for taking me to my doctor’s appointment.

Jason:  Oh, any time. It must be awful going to those things alone, you know?

Devan:  It is, but, I mean, I just really appreciate how you’ve just been here for me these past few weeks, going to all my appointments…

Jason:  Totally.

Devan:  I mean, I know it’s not the funnest circumstances, but I’ve really enjoyed how much time me and you have gotten to spend together.

Jason:  Oh yeah. I mean, you need someone to lean on, you know? And, like…I’ll be your rock. For sure, you know?

Devan:  So, um…What are you doing tonight?

Jason:  I don’t have any plans.

Devan:  Yeah, did…Maybe, would you be interested in coming over and watching a movie?

Jason:  Yeah. Totally. It would be great to hang out, you know, not in a doctor’s office or anything.

Devan:  Yeah, definitely. It would be much more fun to hang out at my house I think.

Jason:  What do you want to watch?

Devan:  What about Wayne’s World?

Jason:  Yeah.

Devan:  You said that was your favorite movie one time.

Jason:  Yeah, I did say that.

Devan:  Yeah.

Jason:  Oh, that’s so cool you remembered. Yeah. Let’s go watch Wayne’s World.

Devan:  Yeah. Sounds good.
