1000 Paper Cuts (a Weshire story)

Chapter 6

(Joven)

238. I curse my thoughts when I wake up. Can't you have more self control?

I squeak when someone lands on me and, after reaching for my glasses, identify the lump as Wes.

"Joshua? You up?"

"I am now." I groan.

"Okay good. You were in the shower a while last night, everything okay?"

I sigh. It's too early for this. "Everything is fine, it was just a long day. I was thinking and must have taken a little longer, I'm sorry."

Wes's eyebrows knit together and he rolls off my stomach onto the bed beside me. "Promise? You weren't doing anything else?"

I force my lips to grin. "Promise." I lie through my teeth.

Wes shoots up off the bed and runs out of the room. Confused, I stand up and stretch until he darts back in only moments later.

"Good! Because since you missed movie night, I was hoping we could do movie morning? In our pajamas? I'll make toast." He holds up a DVD case and I scoff.

"Really, Wes? High School Musical? That seems a bit childish, even for you."

"Hey, Joven. How about you stop sticking to the status quo and just watch the movie like you promised?" I chuckle at his pun and nod.

"Okay, okay. You convinced me. Go get it ready, I'll be in in a minute."

His face lights up with that boyish grin. "Really?"

I roll my eyes. "Yes, really." Wes sprints out of my room once more.

I let my hand linger on my new scars for a moment before getting dressed. Yes, I lied to Wes about the shower.

But he's so happy about this movie, about my happiness... Who am I to take that away?
