The music gets loud.
And louder still.

He might be mad.
Does he know
it was a boy
on the phone?

Or is he just tired
of me ignoring him?

I feel him near me
as I go into the bathroom.
I shut the door
and lock it behind me,
but it doesn't
keep him out.

"Jackson,
can I have a little privacy?
Please?"

He doesn't leave.
I feel him there,
so close.
If he were alive,
our skin
would be touching,
chest to chest,
legs entwined,
arms wrapped
around each other.

But he's not alive.
As much as I might wish
and as much as he might wish,
he's
not
alive.

This time I yell.
"Jackson, leave me alone!"

The water in the sink
turns on
full blast.

I go to turn it off,
and as I do,
I glance in the mirror
and his face
appears,
just for a second.

It's not the face
of the beautiful,
joyful,
loving
boy
I used to know.

It is a dark,
sullen,
painfully sad face
that scares me so bad
I want to turn and
run and
never ever
come back.
