"Ariel? What are you doing at my house?"
"Caesar? Can I come in? I-I need someone."
"I-uh," he walks to the side and waves for me to come inside. "What's wrong?"
"My mother. She's dead."

"I'm so sorry. Let's go to my room."

His room is filled with shelves. Books. Tons of movies. A Yoda figurine. A desk. Laptop. And more movies.
At first we sit on his bed in silence. But I break it first.
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have came. This is really awkward."
"No. It's okay. Do you... want to talk about her."
"I... no. I want to keep my mind off her."
"How about a movie."
"What movie?"
"Um, how about..." He says as he walks up to his movie shelves. "The Great Gatsby?"
"Okay, have you ever watched it?"
"Yeah." He inserts the DVD into his laptop and places it between us on the bed.
"Have you?"
"No."

Sorry this was really short but yeah, I'm not sure what to do for the next chapter but I think I have an idea. ;) also, I have not watched the great Gatsby. I want to read the book first.
