More than friends ~ Jeremike

Planning~ Chap 24

Jeremy sat on the floor wailing and screaming with his eyes all red and sore. 

"Jeremy, ssshhhh we don't want anyone to come out and see that we've escaped."

"I can't help it Mike, I'm gonna die!"  Jeremy squealed. 

"Okay lets get back to my room and then we can talk about your mum giving you your death sentence." 

Mike lifted Jeremy up and dragged him to his room, where he sat him on the bed and gave him a tissue.

"So, what's wrong with you?" Mike asked sounding in no way sympathetic. 

"My mum *sniff* just said that she is staying in America with my *sniff* step-dad. She said that she is going to live with him in his penthouse. So I have to live in my house on my own and I have to pay rent and stuff, but I don't even have a JOB!!!" Jeremy then rolled off the bed and buried his head into the carpet screaming. 

Mike sat there for a few minutes thinking and wondering what he could do to help his poor... friend.

"I know, I can move in with you! We could switch up some rooms and then live together as house mates."

"You know that it is only a two bedroom house right?" Jeremy wondered.

"Yeah, I'm just saying that you could stay in your mum's room, maybe just get some new sheets, and I could stay in your room but I could swap the bed with the double bed in the spare room at my house."

"Wait, that's a brilliant idea! The rooms are basically the same anyway! White walls, a bed and a bedside table, a wardrobe and a chest of draws. We could all way's change the conservatory into an office, you know save up some money for a computer, put a desk in there!" Jeremy planed out in his head getting all excited.

"Great!" Mike said. "But what are we going to do for jobs?" 

"I could look in the newspaper, I heard there was a night shift at a pizza place just down the road from here."

"Okay well that will be next on our list of things to do." Mike said, secretly hating the fact that they had barely only just left school and he had to get a job.
