Too far gone

Drop off

--- Gregory's POV ---

Jimmy woke up near the end of the day and nearly took the boy's, the one who attacked me, head off. Now this, I expected. Jimmy gets angry easily, so I expected him to do this. I still can't get over what Johnny did though. I just... I can't get over his face... he never gets angry! Why-..? I sighed and went back to looking at where we were going. Jimmy was in control now. We were heading home in Toast's van. Grandma was at some ladies meeting and Grandpa has been on a road trip with his friends for the last few days. Gavin and Toast's sister were arguing playfully about who would win a game of checkers. They finally agreed to have a 'battle' when they for back. Whatever that meant. Jimmy looked back at Jenny, Toast told me that was her name. "I thought you guys played chess." Jenny laughed and Jimmy smiled. I guess he was just teasing her. He turned back a to the window, looking at the houses go by.

We got to Toast's house and went inside. Jimmy stuck his tongue out at Toast's mom then smiled, playing off as a joke. She shook her head, rolling her eyes. I'm not sure if she likes him or not... it's hard to tell. "Jimmy, can I come out?"
'Why?'
"I wanna play with Johnny!"
'Fine...' he sighed. "Yay!!" Jimmy waited until Toast and him were alone then let me in control. I smiled and Toast smiled back. "Thanks for helping me before, Ghost." I stopped smiling and looked down, "No problem." I looked up and him again, "Sorry I couldn't help more." He smirked and messed up my hair, "You did all you could. Besides, we got away relatively unharmed. I'd say you did a great job!" I smiled nervously, know that what he said wasn't true. I didn't do anything he's just try to make me feel better. But it's still nice that he cares.

We played with some action figures for a while before Toast's mom called him from upstairs. He told me to wait in his room then he ran out the door, upstairs. He was up there a while so I stared playing with the toys on my own. I heard their door bell ring but ignored it. It's not like it's my job to answer the door. After a while longer, someone knocked on Toast's bedroom door, "Johnny?" I looked back to see a girl standing in the door. A pretty girl. I froze and stared at her then turned back to my toys and put them down. I stood up and walked over to her. "Hi.."
"Are you Johnny?"
I thought for a second then nodded, "Yep! That's my name." I laughed nervously. If I play this right, maybe she'll be my friend!
"Oh! Good to know! My father sent me here to give these to you." She reached in her bag and pulled out some papers, handing them to me. I took them and looked down at them. "I'm not sure what they are, but he said you asked for them."
I nodded and looked back to her. "Uhm... what's you're name again..?"
"Oh! Sorry! I never said. My name is Sarah."
I smiled, "Right. That's a nice name."
She nodded, "Thank you. I got it from my mother."
"No problem! So, uh.. do you live nearby?"
"Yep. Right next door, actually."
"Really?"
"Yep!"
"Cool! I'll have to stop by sometime. If that's okay with you, that is..?"
She nodded and smiled, "Sure!"
"Cool! See ya later then?"
"Definitely." She waved then walked off, down the hall to the front door. I watched he halfway then jumped when I heard Johnny snicker. "What!?" He shook his head and walked back to his bed. "I see you've made a new friend." "Y-Yeah, so..?" He smiled and picked up some of the toys. "You also stole my name."
"Oh, uh.. y-yeah, heh..."
"She's going to find out you're not me eventually, you know. Girl's always find out."
"Well... yeah, I guess... b-but she wasn't asking for you specifically! She just asked for Johnny! I'll just call myself Johnny and it'll be fine."
"'Johnny Ghost'?" He looked skeptical at first but then nodded, "Yeah, I like that actually. It sounds alot like my name."
"Hm... how about Johnathan instead? Johnny can be my nickname." He snickered again.
"Alright. Just don't make your middle name 'Maxwell'."
"I didn't plan to... but why not?"
"Because then our names would be nearly identical!"
"Huh?"
"My name is actually Johnathan too, Ghost."
"Oh gosh... that's going to get confusing..." he nodded. I thought for a few seconds then looked up at him, smiling, "I guess you should call me 'sir' then! That way we won't get confused!"
He chuckled, "We won't get confused about out own names, Ghost."
"I know, but it'll sound cool! C'mon please!?" He laughed and shook his head, continuing to put the toys away. "So that's a no then?" He smiled and looked at me, "Yes, sir. That's and no."
