Jackie Trades/Recent Events

MOST RECENT:
It finally happened, Jackie was able to tell the only person he trusted fully his whole story. Theo is the only person he has talked about the circumstances around his divorce in fully detail in a long time. He had once told Rowan and Aiden a very altered, shortened version of it, but had left out important details he was too ashamed to talk about. 
A mysterious event that Jackie still cannot piece together, resulted in him and a large number of others to be kidnapped to an island. One moment, Jackie was on top of the Irvine and the next moment, he woke up on a strange beach. His first thought was of Theo. Where she was and if she was safe. He eventually found Eddie and Kara, before the trio eventually found Theo, then Easton and the others. A large group of Irvine folks were formed and they kept each other safe until attacks started occurring, splitting up everyone again. Some were sent to a secured compound and others were made to play odd games by their kidnappers.... at least, that's how Jackie justifies it in his head. The emergency situation made him confront his feelings, being that it seemed like a life or death situation... but it also put him in direct fire of confronting the hard truth that these feelings were not returned and he knew why. Theo said it was because she was still navigating her own feelings after her bad experiences with Jeffy and just wanting friends... but It was hard to ignore how Theo was around Easton.
There was a moment when Jackie's phobia was triggered when Fish the dog was also among the kidnapped, and Jackie fled. Dahlia took off after him and Jackie begged her to let him go off alone. He saw himself as a danger to the group's wellbeing and saw himself as a liability. Him being triggered and panicking would put people at risk. He'd rather save the many. Dahlia was having none of it, but Jackie felt the annoyance of people. He was an inconvenience, he could feel it.
Eventually, just as mysteriously as they were transported to the island, they were transported back to LS when the kidnappers were done with their sick games. Jackie assumed they were drugged. After everyone returned to the Irvine, Jackie pulled Theo aside to confess his feeling to her, having a crisis situation clarify and make him face how he felt. He did so, knowing he would be turned down but he did it in part to help himself move on. He couldn't be in emotional limbo forever.
What he didn't expect was his heart to hurt this much.  
His wedding anniversary on the 8th was a pretty bad day of spiraling, but it could have been worse. Thankfully, one of the people he considered a good friend, Eddie Concord, was there to talk him through things and steer the course of the spiral so he didn't crash out completely. Jackie did attempt to explain some of his feelings, but kept it to a very short retelling. He did reveal that he was part of a band, but had a big falling out and had to quit when his ex-wife became insanely jealous of the drummer. Jackie wants to start putting together music again and has written songs, but needs people to help him. Eddie suggested looking for a new band to play with, which Jackie agreed to at least think about. There was such a good stage up at Vinewood... it would be amazing to play there someday and put together a music festival. 
PREVIOUSLY:
* Jackie moves to Los Santos after needing a new place to travel to.
* He is quick to start working as a taxi driver, making enough money to move into The Irvine Inn.
* While at the motel, he makes acquaintances with most of the residents and owners, as well as an extended friend group (which consists of Tanner Phillips, Kimberly Johnsen, Bryce Miller, Brandi Miller, Bennett Burner, Theodora Thatcher, Eddie Concord, Easton Staymates, Dahlia Fey, Lydia Zephyr, Lylla Sage, Mercy Schilling, Sylvie Leigh, Rowan, Stella, Aiden, Sasha and Rosemary Walsh), that are regular visitors.
* Odd coincidences occur that put him in situations of chaos and tragedy surrounding the friend group. At first everyone sees him as bad luck because of this.
* He grows a little closer to the friend group, opening up about his past to Rowan and his younger brother, Aiden. Jackie also begins to help out the group on occasion. Most recently at the bail hearing of Mercy Schilling and a random attack from a man demanding money from Kimberly Johnsen and himself. The stranger had chased and attacked them, as well as Eddie Concord and they all agree to keep an eye out for this stranger for a future beat down.
* A number of the friend group now have an idea that Jackie 'doesn't like dogs' but don't know the full extent of it and why. 
* They also know that Jackie thinks cows are weird and he doesn't trust them.
* Jackie had previously reached the point his minor fear has kicked in and became more distant and started pushing people away but after talks admitting why he was feeling that way, this fear was kept in check.
* Recent run-ins with dogs has left Jackie very shaken and mentally exhausted from panic attacks. He has begun to lean heavily on his bad coping mechanisms which has caused a few of the friends who have noticed to worry about him.
* Jackie developes feelings towards Theo but for a while is in denial about them and does not address them.
