Watcher (KSImon)

Forty

JJ's POV
I left him right there, deciding it was time to go home. If I stayed I probably would've ruined the moment.

"Bye Simon," I whispered into his ear as I slipped down the stairwell. Maybe he thought I was out of earshot, but echoing around, I heard a large WHOOP come out of his mouth. It was impossible not to crack a smile. Simon was such a little kid, and I loved him for it.

I shuffled through my pocket for my car keys as I entered the lobby. Cal was there. He was sitting back in a chair, holding his face. I was pretty sure he was holding his face. For a second, I was angry, but looking at how upset he was, I felt a bit bad. My feelings clashed. Was I to go up to him, or just leave? He looked up to the sky, and pulled his hand away from his face, red and streaming tears. Anger took over and I crept to the door before he could see me. I must have not been quick enough, since Cal sat up and saw me. The look on his face was broken. Maybe it would have been a good idea to comfort him, a better outcome could have come out of all of it, but I ran out the door into the cold, grey London I had always known.

The streets were a bit wet, and water droplets were sprinkling out of the sky. There were a few cars going up and down the road.

I found my car in a lot, and revved it. As I pulled out and started to drive down the road, I saw Cal walking on the pavement with no coat or umbrella to cover him. Slowly, guilt washed over, and I slowed to a stop next to him. I pulled down my window and called,

"Do you want a ride?"

He shook his head, "not from you."

"I'm sorry. If you come we can go back to my place and figure this all out."

Cal stood for a second, seeming to ponder the thought. Our friendship seemed to withstand, even slightly, so he nodded and hopped in the passenger seat.

Yes. I know it's been two months. And I get it if all my readers are gone. 😂😂 so many things have happened since I last posted.
1. The Sidemen Book came out and is currently being held in a place of honor in my room.
2. The Sidemen Book reached #1 in the U.K. Bestsellers.
3. JJ shaved his head.
4. Callux reached 2mil and came out with merch.
5. It's ALMOST THANKSGIVING (here in the US) and CHRISTMAS (Christians everywhere)
6. Mr. Tumble (that's all I have to say about that one)

I'm sorry guys and I've been extremely busy. Basketball practice and homework take up most of my afternoons and my weekends are filling up. I still care about this story, but I use my writing time to watch the Sidemen in the first place.
See you in the next chapter,
