Can he be fixed?

(19)Overnight workshop pt1

Ricky's POV

As Ej pulled up too the front of my house I quickly got out of his car, not really wanting him questioning me. But of course he got out of the car and followed me towards the door, so turning around I asked "What are you doing?" Sighing he answered "I'm helping you pack then you can come over and help me pack, and you know finally get too see my house." Standing there I thought about it before nodding my head in agreement before walking towards my house again. Once we both go into the house I hear my dad call out my name "Ricky hey your home, so I got a call from your theater teacher and I want too make sure that everything is okay. So are you okay?" Looking at my dad I give him a quick nod before giving him the permission slip too sign. Sighing he smiles before signing it and giving it back too me "Remember I'm here too talk Richard." Nodding my head I run upstair, with Ej in toe, as I walk into my room and start throwing random things in a bag.

After a couple minutes of uncousinly putting stuff in a bag I feel Ej's hand on my shoulder. Sighing I lean into his touch as I close my eyes, as I listen too him instructing me too take small breaths. Finally after a couple minutes I was calmed down, so picking my head up off his shoulder I kiss him on the cheek before looking at my bag, and thats when I started laughing. In my bag there was three pairs of pants, one shoe, a tank top, and a pair of shorts. After I finish laughing I start too pull everything out of my bag as I pull out an outfit from my closet, along with some pajamas, then throwing a couple more things in there that I need I start too clean up the mess I made. But after a couple minutes I take off my hoodie, as I started getting hot, and threw it on my bed. Finally I had finished cleaning up as I grabbed my bag, and stole a kiss from Ej before walking back downstairs with my bag around my shoulder.

Once we got downstairs I quickly told my dad goodbye, before running out the door and getting into his car. Once we were both sitting in the car he turned towards me and asked "Are you okay from earlier?" Nodding my head I tell him yes, too which he just smiles and his eyes widen. "Hey I forgot my hoodie upstairs I will be right back bubs." Nodding I watch as he runs back into the house. After he left I couldn't help but smile, how did I get so lucky. Only a couple weeks ago Nini had broken up with me and now I had Ej, and he is someone I know that I'm never letting go, ever.

Ej's POV

Once I got upstairs I quickly grabbed my hoodie, before I started looking around his room for what I really came up too get, Franklin. Once I wrap him up in the hoodie I quickly run back downstairs with a smile on my face. Saying goodbye too Mr. Bowen one more time, I run out the door, getting back into the car and throwing my jacket into the backseat of the car, and driving off too my house, after kissing Ricky on the hand. After quietly driving down the road we finally make it too my place, which I pull up too still silently. See people know that I come from money, people know the nickname that my dad has 'Cash Caswell', but I never really use that too my advantage. Too everyone in theater I just the joke that also loves theater, in water polo I'm the captain of the team. No one has seen my house, Ricky will be my first friend too seen it, since middle school, well he's more then a friend.

After a couple minutes I pulled up too the front of my house and parked the car, before looking over at Ricky and smiling. Smiling back at me he got out of the car and walked around knocking on my widow, motioning too the house. Smiling at him I got out and led him inside and through the house, until we reached my room. Theres nothing really special about my room, its big but it doesn't really have anything amazing in it. A queen bed, a desk, a Duke college poster, a couple pictures of some friends and family, and a dresser. I was never really into decorating my room because I was never really in my room. When you never really have any friends over you don't really care about how cool your room looks. So when I let Ricky in too see my room I felt like I was holding my breath, waiting for him too say something. Then I heard him "Wow Ej your room is big." Laughing I ask if that is a good thing, too which he just kisses my cheek and starts too go towards my dresser. Sighing I walk over with him after grabbing a old backpack before I started trying too find something too wear tonight and tomorrow.

After a couple minutes of searching I hear Ricky gasp. Confused I looked over too see Ricky holding up Captain America shirt, that I had got when Infinity War had come out. "You have too wear this tonight." Smiling I reply "Fine as long as you wear the Buck Barns shirts that I have." Smiling he nods before grabbing that shirt as well as he started searching for the rest of my clothes. After about 10 minutes he had finally picked out my clothes, along with a new hoodie. Confused I look at him confused before he says "I forgot a hoodie at home, so I'm borrowing the one you wore today." Smiling I nod putting my other one on. Smiling I grab my bag before grabbing his hand and walking out of the room.

*4:30 p.m. at the school*

Once we pulled up too the school I watched as Ricky went too grab the hoodie that I had wore today, but I beat him too it. Smirking I put into my lap and unroll it too show him the stoll away I had slipped in there. Smiling he grabbed Franklin and hugged him before kissing me on the cheek, so smiling back at him I pick up the hoodie and throw it over his head, and laugh as I see him trying too make a funny face as his head pops out the hole. After slipping Franklin into my bag we both got out of the car walking towards the school. As we were about walk in I kiss his cheek and grab his hand before we both start heading towards the theater room. Once we walked into the room we found most of the main cast was already there, socializing amongst one another. Smiling I pulled Ricky over with me as I joined in on the conversation, while Ricky just stood there silently. Usually I would push people too break out of there shells more but I don't think I could ever do that too Ricky. He has been through, and is going through too much for me too do that too him. So smiling I slip my hand into his while continuing my conversation with Carlos.

Eventually everyone had arrived and were all split up into there own little circles, then Ms. Jenn and Zack Roy came in. Sitting down in are groups they pull out a piece of paper, then start too explain "So for this workshop everyone will be split up into group, and you will be with though groups for the entirety of the workshop until tomorrow when we finish off the workshop. So everyone write your name on a piece of paper. Then we will draw names from the bowl, and that will decide what group your in. As I write down my name I couldn't help but be nerves, I wanted Ricky too be in my group, but now it was luck of the draw. "Groups will be...."
