How Did We Get Here?

But We Didn't

Sally Face's POV

Travis hasn't been to school since Monday. I probably scared him with the idea of a conversation, or maybe he remember my disgusting face and was too sick to come back to school. Eventually, Halloween rolled around, which means another party, technically I wasn't invited to this party, and my friends aren't going but I don't think anyone will notice. Ash had to watch her brother, Todd and Niel were going to have a date night, and I think Larry planned to get high. Zara was the one hosting the party, She was Travis' friend, which meant he had to be there, I planned to confront him, and if he wasn't then I would get drunk outta my mind, or both.

I put my Gin costume on one last time for the year and made my way there. It was a twenty-minute walk, but I could handle it. By the time I got there, it was packed, didn't know the religious nut had so many friends. I pushed my way threw the crowd and eventually got myself a drink, or two. I kept my eye out for Travis but had yet to see him. just a bunch of straight people making out.

After about an hour and three too many drinks, I was starting to give up, and I was getting tired, I made my way to an open seat and started humming along to the music. Then like a wave, I got sick and ran towards the bathroom but ended up throwing up on someone's shoes.

Travis' POV

I skipped school for the rest of the week, I couldn't handle seeing Sally again. What is wrong with me? I beat him up and then kiss him, what is wrong with him? he kissed me back after I beat him up. Guess we are both stupid, but that doesn't change the fact that I need to stop sinning. I tried to fix my faggness by planning to make out with a girl at Zara's party, and I succeeded, the problem being that it was Zara. She was probably too drunk to remember either way. 

I didn't enjoy it though, so I left her, and as I was walking back to the living room some drunk guy threw up on my shoes. "What the fuck!" I said as the guy stood back up while wobbling, but when he finally made his way up, I saw that stupid mask. Sal Fisher. Of course, and he was drunk out of his mind, what the hell.

"Sorry, I tried to make it to the bathroom. I drank too much, I should probably head back-" He stopped as he looked at me, then he threw up again, on my shoes, again. I sighed before taking off my shoes and leaving them on the floor, I grabbed Sal's arm and moved it over my shoulder before putting my arm over his waist to keep him steady. "Travis? What are you doing?" He questioned, what an idiot, what does he think I'm doing.

"Taking you home obviously, you weren't even invited." I said sharply, he looked at me like a lost puppy, so I gave in and showed him a slight smile. We made our way back to the apartments and he kept mumbling weird things about how he was looking for me, and he has a chip in his mask from when I tripped him, he even mentions that I passed the math test. 

"I shouldn't have come, you think I disgusting,  I know that, but I wanted to, to see you. God, I'm such a faggot." He said before letting go of me and falling on the grass next to the sidewalk, then he started giggling, soon though, the giggles turned to sobs. Fuck. "You hate me, don't you? Why else would you bully me, I know I'm a freak, okay? Why did you kiss me? You hate me." He said in between sobs. 

I lay on the grass next to him and stared at the sky. "Do you see that star? The big bright one across from two parallel small ones?" I asked, trying to distract him.

"W-what? I mean, yeah" He responds confused.

I just chuckle, "That star and the two bright ones make a triangle, yeah? The top tail to the left goes up and the bottom tail to the left goes down? Thank makes the constellation Libra. That's my zodiac sign." I say lightly, I turn my head to look at him and see him staring right back at me. I really fucked him up. "What's your sign?" I ask.

"I'm an Aquarius, stupid I know." He says still looking at me.

"Yours is the one that has two legs and a tail on the right. See?" I describe while pointing a little to the left of the sky.

"Oh! I see! That's cool. How did you learn that?" I chuckle before sitting up, he sits up after me and looks at me awaiting a response.

I sigh, "When I was younger, my dad used to take me camping, he taught me how to navigate the stars. Instead of learning how to find my way, I ended up learning about all the constellations. My dad wasn't very happy, but I don't regret it, every now and again I will just stare out my window and try to find them all." I say before looking back at the sky, I must sound so nerdy, I've never told anyone that before, but when I looked by at him, he was just staring back at me, again. I stood up and reached out for him. "Come on, we gotta get you home."

He stutter for a moment but eventually took my hand and continued to walk, we chatted while we walked this time, almost as if we were continuing our conversation from Darin's party, but on our way back Sal asked me to carry him, and then passed out. After about ten minutes, we finally reached the Addison Apartments, I had searched Sal's pocket with a free hand for his key which read '402'. I had never been inside the apartments before, always gave me the creeps, but I guess there is a first for everything.

By the time I made it into his apartment, my arms were killing me. I tossed him on the couch and took his mask off before sitting at the end where his feet were. I looked at his unconscious face, God, why is he so perfect, I sighed before searching his apartment for a piece of paper and a pencil. Which wasn't too hard to find, I wrote down a note so he wouldn't wake up too confused and headed for the door. Before I left though, I took one last look at him.
