Eli

We hadn't talked in a week, which made me feel like shit but I wasn't sure what else to do.
Miguel and Sam had planned a little get-together in the valley.
Sam and Aisha were going to pick up Demetri while Miguel and a few others tried to get a beer.
We walked into the small trashy corner store. I grabbed a few packs of beer and put them on the counter.

"Just this," I nodded grabbing my fake ID from my wallet. I twirled it around in my fingers and handed it to the cashier.

"Are you sure this isn't fake?" He raised an eyebrow.

"That's literally my kid," I pointed at Bert and he turned around and awkwardly waved.

"Whatever man," I handed him the cash and carried them out to my car. We all got in and drove down to the valley.
I was so nervous to see Demetri, I probably fucked up our friendship once again.

When we got there I got out of the car and looked around. He was sitting in a folding chair drinking something.

I set the beer on a folding table and grabbed a can out of the pack. I opened it and chugged it, "Woah, you better slow down." Miguel chuckled.

"Why am I not allowed to drink my beer?" I snapped at him.

"Chill I was joking," he furrowed his eyebrows. I took out another can.

"Yeah whatever," I sighed and took another drink. Demetri glanced up at me and I looked down at my shoes.

"You should just go talk to him..." Miguel nudged me and giggled.

"Nah, I fucked up some shit with him." I sighed and took another drink.

"Mhm, what'd you do this time?" He smirked and looked at me.

"He thinks I'm just being sympathetic," I shrugged.

"Does he even know you're...you know?" He asked.

"Uh...no, no one knows." I sighed.

"Just go talk to him Eli," he gently nudged me.

"Okay fine," I took a big drink from my beer and slowly walked over.

"Hey..." I sat on the chair next to him.

"If you're here to break my heart I don't wanna hear it," he sighed and crossed his right leg over the other.

"I'm uh, I like you too..." I bit my lip and rubbed my thumb against the can.

"Like...which way?" He slowly turned to look at me.

"The uh, boyfriend way." Crushing the can between my hands. I could feel the sweat dripping.

"Can you come over later?" He smiled.

"Yeah..." I smiled as I felt the rosy hue spread on my face.
