Separated (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 23

Justin
I sipped some coffee, trying to keep my eyes open. My eyes stung from not getting enough sleep and coffee was the best way to help me stay awake. I'm currently in a small cafe and using some change that I found on the street to buy this delicious drink. I only had coffee about five times in my whole life and nothing compares to the one I'm drinking now. I haven't been able to get some sleep because I feel like something bad is going to happen. I don't know when, what, how, or why, but I could just feel it in my gut. I hope my instincts are wrong because having something bad happen is the only thing I don't need. It's about 9:00 in the morning and Jason already went home to make the plans for the three of us,Jason, Danny, and I, to hangout together. Let me to you, I'm nervous as hell to meet Danny. I don't know anything about him other than that he's friends with Jason. Does he know I'm poor? Does he know I exist at all?!! I need to calm down before I have a panic attack in this cafe with people staring at me and l would be embarrassed if that ever happened. I look around at the rich people and wish that I had a life like that. They have no worries about finding food or money to pay the bills. They already have everything that they want. That's one thing I envy. I rubbed my eyes to get the tiredness out, but failing miserably because I didn't sleep a wink last night. I was too worried about something bad happening when I meet Danny. I don't know what he is going to be like and that scares me. As you can see, I'm not really good at meeting new people. I don't want people to hate me. All of a sudden I got a text message from Jason.

From Jason: Are you ready to meet Danny?

From Justin: I'm a little nervous...

From Jason: Don't worry you'll get along great with him. He's awesome but you're still my favorite😊

I blushed and smirked at the message he sent me. Why is Jason always so cute?!

From Justin: Aww you're adorable Jase!

From Jason: you're my little juju

That went on until Jason told me that we are going to go bowling at noon so I had to go home and get ready. I walked home and of course, was greeted by Buddy. "Hey Buddy." I giggled as he licked my face. I went to the kitchen to feed him and he came running eager to get some food. I laughed and went upstairs to get dressed. I looked at my closet and let out a frustrated sigh. I never went bowling so I don't know what to wear. I settled for a gray button down shirt that wasn't too fancy and black pants with my black vans. I looked at my filled closet and it was only filled because Jason said that it was his job to spoil me, so he pretty much bought me the whole store even though I refused to let him pay, but with Jason being so stubborn he got his way 2 hours later. I chuckled at the memory of the two of us arguing back and forth because I didn't want him to lay for my clothes. After about 2 hours, I gave up and just let him pay not only because the argument could have went on forever, but because my feet were hurting from standing that long that I gave up. I giggled at the memory of Jason's face when I said no to the clothes. Let me tell you, he looked like a lost puppy and it was an  adorable sight to see. My mom used to tell me that I'm the professional of the pout and could pull it off really good. She wasn't kidding because everyone I did it, I got what I wanted. I got my jacket on and before I walked out the door, I said bye to Buddy. I walked down the sidewalk to the fence so I could get to the other side to meet Jason at his house. As soon as I was there I crawled underneath the fence, making sure I don't get my clothes dirty and carried on walking. I glanced at the house that I stole off of and saw that lady, Mrs. Tompkins, Jason said her name was. She was outside fixing her flowers and looked over at me and scowled as I walked. When I reached Jason's house, I rang the doorbell and Pattie opened the door. "Hello Justin! Come on in." "Hello Mrs. McCann." "Oh please, call me Pattie." She smiled warmly and I smiled back.   "JUSTIN!!" Abby screamed when she saw me and gave me a huge hug. I bent down and hugged her back as she giggled. Jason and I'm guessing Danny came in the room and laughed at the sight of Abby not letting go of me. "Abby why do you have to do that every time you see Justin?" Jason asked amused by the situation. "Because I love Justin." After Abby let go Jason left the room to get his car keys so we can go, so I introduced myself. "So your Jason's boyfriend that he never mentioned?" He asked. "Um...sure." I was confused. Why didn't Jason ever mention me? Was he embarrassed because I'm poor?  "Well I can say the same for you because I didn't know he had a friend." I don't know where the confidence boost came from, but this guy was an asshole. 'This is going to be a long night' I thought in my head as we went into the car. Well I'm glad that the car ride was better. Note sarcasm. The ride was so awkward I was going to jump out the window. Jason and Danny were in the front and I was in the back. I don't know how that happened, but I ended up in the back. The radio was playing Ariana Grande and I was tempted to sing along since I love her music, but that would make it more awkward so I stopped myself. "So...gas prices are rising." Danny said, trying to start a conversation. I mean I can't afford a car so I don't know about the prices of gas, but I just agreed anyways.

At the bowling alley we got our ugly shoes to bowl and our bowling balls. The whole time Danny and Jason were having a conversation and leaving me out. It makes me wonder if I should've stayed home than being a third wheel. Nothing interesting happened in the first game, but the second game of bowling is when things started happening once Jason said, "hey guys I'll be right back in going to get some drinks." He left and Danny came over by me. "So...I've never seen you around school before." "I'm homeschooled." I hesitated. "Really? I know just about everyone in town on the rich side and I don't recall knowing a Justin Bieber." "I moved here not too long ago." I mentally slapped myself for a lame excuse because he apparently knows I'm not rich and if he tells anyone Jason and I won't be able to see each other.

Jason came back and I sighed in relief, but Danny whispered in my ear "This conversation isn't over." Now I felt scared. Jason hugged me from behind and I relaxed a little. Danny had a look of jealousy in his eyes when he saw the position we were in. I didn't care though because Jason and I were dating. I gave Danny a smirk that says 'he's mine' and he frowned. "Okay so let's keep bowling" Jason said as he let go of me. We agreed and continued the game until it was over. We left the bowling ally and got in the car to go home. We got back to Jason's house because Danny left his car there. "Bye Justin and Jason, I'll see you in school Jason." Danny said as he hugged Jason and nodded at me to say bye. He left and now it was just Jason and I. "Well I have to get home too..." Jason smiled at me and gave me a hug and a kiss. "See didn't I tell you Danny was amazing!" Jason said excitedly. I just nodded and said, "He's something else." After I left, I walked home with one thought in my mind, would Danny tell anyone that Jason was seeing a poor boy?

🌸 I've had a little writers block so sorry it took awhile to complete this chapter, but I have some ideas for the story.
What do you think about Danny? Will he tell anyone about Justin being poor? Thanks for reading🌸
