It has been a little over a week since they have moved from the house into the apartment. Blake loves the apartment. It is nice, he loves the view, and he loves getting to swim. He hates everything else about it. Tristan is closer to the city with his friends. He goes out every single night and he drinks. Then he comes in and he cries himself to sleep when he does not bring some random person home.
He misses Eli too, but Tristan has not been there for them. Blake feels all alone. One of Gabe's old friends live in the same building. His name is Diego. They hang out all the time. Diego told Blake he did not like him and asked if they could hang out alone. Blake always makes excuses on why he does not hang out with them. Gabe has asked him a few times, but Blake just tells him he does not feel well. Tristan has not even noticed. Blake spends ninety percent of his time alone in his room. Gabe feels bad but him and Diego go out every day.
Diego has a crush on Gabe. He has not told him, and Blake does not want to bring it up. He just lets them be them and he keeps to himself. Today, Tristan, Diego, and Gabe went to the amusement park with one of Tristan's friends. Blake made himself throw up. Diego sent him a message saying he would beat him up if he came. He saved the message to maybe one day show Tristan. Tristan was upset Blake did not want to go. Blake decides he wants to call his uncle and speak with him about a few things. Charlie(C) and Blake(B).
