Perfect... (boyxboy)

"Now bleed! BLEED!" I screamed as the person below me closed his eyes.

The curtain came down. The lights came on. Applause washed through the auditorium. I let go up the person below me and helped him up.

"I thought you were really going to kill me Jess!" Paxton smiled, "Maybe you should let up on your performance next time."

I nodded and turned to face the audience just as the curtain pulled back. Everybody in the play took a bow then walked off the stage for the rest of the cast to bow. I watched Paxton get congratulated for his performance. He was going to be famous one day and we all knew it. He had to much talent to stay in this small town. Unlike me... I'd probably stay here for the rest of my life. Get some boring job to pay the bills.

I walked past other other cast members to the door. I went out into the cool night air. Soon I'm not going to be able to look at the stars it'll be to cold. I pulled out a cigarette and lit it up. I know it's a bad habit but I like the feel of it.

I heard the door open and looked over. Paxton walked out with a buquet of flowers. One of the girls in the play must have given them to him. He smiled softly at me then sat next to me agianst the building.

"Hey... You did a really good job you know. " he spoke.

I nodded my head then took a drag off my cigarette.

"Jesse, are you okay?"

I nodded my head.

"I got you flowers..."

"What?" I asked.

"Well you never get any for your performance and I think you did a good job tonight." He explained.

He handed me the flowers then wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Soon we won't be able to sit like this."

I nodded and leaned into him.

"This is our last year in high school too..."

"Yeah." I replied.

"I'm gonna take you to California with me Jess." He said looking at the sky.

I moved back a bit, "What?"

"I know what you're going to do if I leave. You'll get a boring job. You'll never find someone else. I couldn't bear the thought of you dying alone while I'm having my dreams come true." He spoke.

I looked down at the ground. He knows me so well it's scary.

"I'll be fine when you leave Paxton... I don't want to hold you back." I said quietly.

Paxton grabbed my chin, forcing my to look at him.

"You will never hold me back Jess. You make me want to better myself. I love you." He spoke.

I leaned in and kissed him. He smiled and pulled my closer to his side. I know he won't bring me to California with him. It seems like he's trying to convince himself that he loves me when he doesn't. I've accepted that I'm just a passing fling to Paxton. I don't know why he hasn't...

"Jess... When we go to California can we get a dog?"

"Yes."

"I want to get a cat too. Like the one you have."

"Okay."

"It's gonna happen Jess. I'm going to take you with me and we'll have a good life. I'll work and you can stay home and work on your art. It'll be perfect."

But nothing ever is...
