I would be lying if I said I understood any of the plot, even after reading it so many times... like wth...??

Its so freaking confusing =.= i rate this a 4

haha, it's not that confusing once you finish reading and pierce everything together, since the narration isn't linear. You just have to separate the story in two timelines:
- the first one, the actual 'beginning' of the story, is shown in the flashbacks at the end (black and white scenes). Basically, Law's parents manipulated him into getting the Brown's favors through Jesse to get privileges in the high society, and he willingly did all that because he thought he wasn't his father's legitimate son, out of a sense of guilt and fear of being thrown away, I suppose. His friendship with Jesse is super strained at first, Jesse's personality considered, and that puts Law under a lot of pressure and anxiety, to the point where he starts hating Jesse as much as he loves him.
Anyway, Jesse says that about wishing everyone would forget his suggestion, I think? Can't remember well, but Law is so devoted he takes it seriously and creates Moritat based on that projector thing Jesse made when they were younger. Jesse is disgusted by Moritat; his mom loves it, seeing Law as a future cash cow and leashed 'dog' to the browns. After Law learns he's his parents legitimate son, he resents everything they made him go through to become Jesse's friend and is pretty content when they die (probably killed by the Browns, so he'd be within their reach).
Jesse cares about Law to the point of hating the idea of his own parents controlling him and bans him from the mansion. Later on in the story, the media comes to know about Moritat being used on the staff in the Brown manor through Rosalie and Jesse takes responsibility for the whole mess, so he hides from the public eye and goes to an ordinary university. The scene where Law appears and Jesse is sitting on a bench happens years later, after all that; Law gives Jesse the tea that's used to ease the person into Moritat and puts both of them into that virtual world, because he still longs to be Jesse's number one.

- The second timeline starts after everything I've described above, from the first chapter until Jesse chooses to die with Law and starts bleeding from the head. Everything that happened in those chapters didn't actually, well, happen. Law programmed a bunch of situations that they'd go through over and over to see how Jesse would react, if Jesse would trust him and stay with him if he hadn't had everything he could wish for in his life. The simulation fails multiple times (the scene where Law pushes him off the cliff is an example), until Jesse finally got around his feelings for Law and chose to die with him; that was when Law turned off Moritat, because that was pretty much everything he always wanted. He pretend not to love Jesse anymore when they woke up, though - they wake up just one day after meeting again of the university, by the way -, because he couldn't deal with the idea of Jesse loving him.
At the end, because of what Rosalie said, he goes after Law and sees him using the projector-thing from their childhood. Since it projects a certain image based on your feelings about what's the image, Jesse knew instantly that Law still loved him, because the image of the young Jesse that appeared was the same as all those years ago. If his feelings has changed, it would have looked different. Jesse snaps him out of it and they both, finally, come clear about their feelings.
Hope this sorts some of the story out!
