I love The Smiths [ CANCELED SORRY ]

This Charming Man

TRENT'S POV

I wake up late at night to a loud notification noise from my phone. "Who the hell is texting me right now?" I think then corporate myself, grab my phone and open the notification.

Why didn't I see this coming?

It was Cody, he texted on the band group chat saying that his parents went to a business trip and that his house is perfect to practice.

THE DRAMA BROTHERS

Bro C: I think yall should come right now!!

Bro C: No way ur using punctuation with me shut up

Me: U woke me up.

Bro H: What is this about?

Bro H: Band practice right now? GOSH im totally down!

I smile slightly at my phone.

Bro J: I need my beauty sleep. Can't.

Bro C: Well Harold is already here so COME TRENT!!! :3

Me: Fine? let me get ready YALL ARE CRAZY

Bro J: fr.

...

I leave my phone on the counter and try to find something to wear. I haven't done laundry in days so I just grab some sweatpants and a shirt of my favorite band, The Smiths, they are going to present soon in our city Im trying to save some money for front row tickets but I don't think Ill have enough.

I get in my car, and start driving.

I really wanted Justin to go. I don't know why, I just wanted to see him.

I keep driving trying to get that thought out of my head, then I arrive to Cody's house. Its big. I knock on his gigantic door and there they are, Harold and Cody.

"TRENT U REALLY CAME!!" said the smallest one. "Well u told us tu come?" I respond with a lame tone, I haven't felt well this days.

We practiced all night, until we all fell asleep.

...

I wake up to the smell of a strong cologne and the sunlight coming through Cody's window.

"Wake up Trent" says a nice and calm voice... wait.. I recognize that voice. Fuck.

I open my eyes more and see Justin standing in front of me. FuckFuckFuck. I stand myself up and clean with my hand the trail of saliva i left on my cheek while sleeping.

"I- Hi Justin" why did I stutter thats so embarrassing. "Hi" he just answers that and continues to wake the others up. "I made you all breakfast, you should NOT practice so late" says Justin in an angry tone. I got chills. "Yeah sorry.." I apologize to him.

We all sit on the table and Justin brings out a delicious breakfast. "Are you sure you made this?" says Harold jokingly.

"Nah, I was kidding I ordered this on Uber Eats" says while looking though his phone. We all laugh since we know Justin is REALLY bad at cooking.

Im curious at what he is doing.

I try to take a peek but just decided not to invade his privacy, why would I want to know honestly? Then I saw him crack a little smile while still on his phone. Fuck who is he texting? WHY DO YOU CARE TRENT? I think to myself and then slap my face, grabbing everyones attention.

"Are you okay dude?" Cody asks worryingly. Fuck this is embarrassing, Justin is also looking. "Yeah sorry, I remembered something important I have to go." I say grabbing my guitar and leaving the other ones with their words on their mouths.

"What do yall think is wrong with him?" asks Harold to the other two boys. "I don't know maybe he is the L word" says Cody. "He's a lesbian?" says Justin confused making the other two laugh leaving Justin more confused.

...

I haven't drove yet. Im just inside my car that is parked outside Cody's house. I put my hands in my face due to my frustration, why am I feeling like this? I hate this feeling, Im so sick of myself. I can't feel like this about Justin. Not Justin. That dude has like 300 people behind him and I.. I don't know.

I started to drive to my house but stopped in a cafe where one of my best friend works, Gwen, we dated in Total Drama Island but we broke up. We are in good terms tho.

"Hi Gwen!"

"Are you ok? you look like shit dude"

I laugh at the comment. "Look who's talking" We talked for a while until the cafe got busy so I left Gwen alone and went to my house. I jumped to my bed and slept another 2 hours until AGAIN a notification from Cody woke me up.

THE DRAMA BROTHERS

Bro J: Im down.

Maybe I do want to go.

Bro H: Cant, have a date with Leshawna BYE

Me: Ill go, where?

...

I arrive at the restaurant and look for Cody but I just find Justin seating at one table. My hands get sweaty as I approach him, I greet him with a nervous smile which he returns making my face feel warm, I sit beside him and we talked until Cody arrived. Way to ruin the moment!

What am I talking about?

All of us enjoyed the evening and I ended up driving both of them home. "Well pretty people shouldn't drive right?" I laugh at Justin's comment and continue driving. I leave Cody at his house and then Justin, who was still on his phone. Really, who is he talking to? a new girlfriend? Not that I care. I park at his house and say bye to him, he gets out and I watch him enter his house, I get out of this trance and get home, really tired I just sleep to forget all these dumb thoughts.
