"Lies, don't want to know. I can't let you go, I just want it to be perfect."

SEASON 1

"You're an idiot." Monty tells Jasper as he pinches Monty's cheeks.

"No, you're the idiot Monty." He giggles insanely high as he fiddles with Monty's ears.

"You're the one who brought the nuts into camp." Monty grabs Jasper by the face to bring him even closer and shine his torch into his eyes, they are too dilated.

"Haven't you had one yet!" Jasper practically shouts in Monty's ear.

"No. I haven't." Monty replies, shoving him back to the floor.

"You must! Monty, my best friend, you must!" He childishly proclaims to the empty tent around them. He sticks his hand deep into his trouser pocket, and emerges with two perfectly rounded nuts, "You must!"

"I must not! I have had enough of seeing people get high when we were on the Arke." Supplying drugs to people made Monty hate them himself, and it breaks his heart seeing Jasper like this.

"Come on! One little nut, that's all you need." Jasper prods on, shoving the nuts in his direction.

"Jasper, you know I don't like 'getting high'," Monty tells him, as he fiddles with his jacket zip, trying to ignore the staring of his best friend, "Remember last time."

1 and a half years ago.

"Another one? Okay together?" Jasper looks at Monty as they stare at the second batch tablets in front of them.

"For old times sake. Okay." Monty says sitting cross legged across from Jasper, they were in Jasper's bathroom huddled together as it was so small. Monty's skin had shivers where it was touching Jaspers.

"3...2...1." They both swallow the pill dry. Jasper gags slightly as Monty laughs at him.

"How long is it exactly before they take both take effect?" Monty asks leaning back slightly.

"No idea. Guess we'll just have to wait it out." Jasper smiles, he's staring at Monty and his ridiculous haircut. It makes him laugh.

"Can you believe we're both almost sixteen?" They were both a month apart, Monty is the oldest though and loves to remind everybody of it.

"And to think you've never kissed a girl." Jasper says with a smile.

Monty looks him dead in the eyes, "Maybe that's because I don't like girls."

Monty has no idea what made him say that, maybe it was the drugs. Maybe it was closeness to Jasper, he looked at Jasper, his face crooking right.

"What would you say if I told you I like girls and boys?" Jasper fumbled with his hands, smiling to himself when Monty couldn't take his eyes off him.

"I don't think I would say anything. I think I would do this," Monty grabbed his hands and without coordination, leaned in close. His lips inches from his best friends', from Jasper, from the boy he has had an undeniable crush on, "Do you want to be my first kiss Jasper?" He looks at his lips and his eyes and then back again.

"Hell yes." Jasper puts his hands on the back of Monty's head and drags him in close, their lips joining together. And it was all a blur, a blur of ecstasy, a mess of hands in hair as Monty opened the bathroom door and Jasper closed the bedroom door.

--

"Shit." Jasper grabbed his head, and flung his hand over the empty bed. But it wasn't empty, somebody was there. And that somebody was Monty, with his trousers and shirt on, reading a book.

"Glad to see you're up." He smiles at Jasper, what does he remember because Monty remembers everything. Well almost everything, except for the part when he actually confessed his love, he has no idea why he did that.

"Dude what the-" Jasper can't finish his sentence as he lifts up too fast, his head pounds against his skull, "Ugh. What happened last night, please say my dad didn't come home. He would never let me see Angie again." Jasper lay down again.

Monty's face fell, her. He knew there was something between them, but then realised, Jasper doesn't have feelings for him. It's was the drugs. It was a lie. A drug enthused state of dreaming.

"No, you passed out in the bathroom. I dragged you in here and I slept on the floor," Lie lie lie, "Had to make sure you didn't go out and about."

Jasper looked down, he was only in his boxers, he decided not to question it. His mind couldn't take it. "Thanks Mont, I owe you one. I had a dream though."

"What was it about?" Monty prayed that he said what he wanted to hear.

"I dreamt about Angie, me and her having a life together." Monty smiled but inside his heart broke into thousands of pieces.

--

"I don't Monty. I don't remember anything, I just know that the sky is purple. And the grass is pink." Jasper says.

"Good. Because I don't want to remember." Monty says as a lump forms in his throat and he fights back the rising wave of sadness inside of him.

Monty grabs the nuts from Jasper hand and swallows them in three bites, it gave him a false sense of confidence, "I love you Jasper."

"I love you too Angie." Jasper says in the sweetest tone and Monty's heart breaks into a million more pieces.
