Joey opens the door into a vast room. I am suddenly greeted my a small trotting fur ball. I almost squeal, but another noise comes out instead. I quickly bend down to pet him.

I hear Joey laugh. "That's Hitch." Joey explains.

"He's freaking adorable!" I exclaim.

Then I hear a deeper voice that doesn't belong to Joey, I jump slightly and stand up.

"Joey?" I see a handsome dark haired man emerge from the other room.

"Sawyer! This is my friend Claire. were just going to hang out. she's just net Hitch!"

I stand silently wide eyed staring at Sawyer. I slowly wave.

"Hi" Sawyer greets himself. "I'm Sawyer, Joey's roommate. I won't be in the way, sorry. Right Hitch?" suddenly Hitch runs to Sawyer and starts running around him. "Good boy." I see Sawyer tell him.

I can't help but smile, the perfect bond.

"Claire, we can go upstairs."

I nod and follow Joey.

"Sorry if it's messy." Joey apologizes.

"No it's fine, I don't care the bed isn't made." I say looking around.

He smiles, "so you can take a seat if you want."

I nod and cautiously sit on the edge of the bed.

"So your quite shy?"

I look up at him and nod. "Well I'm not as confident as you."

"Ha," he laughs. "I'm not that confident."

I smile and pull my sleeves over my hands again. I tend to do stuff like that, I'm just really awkward.

"Well, anyways. Any movie you want to watch? we could watch Netflix."

"Ok, I don't really care though."

"But we all know you do" Joey smiles.

I bite my lip, "no."

"Fine. Let's talk. You seem full of stuff that you need to spill."

Oh no. I was really bad with trust. I was never good at the whole secrets thing.

"No I don't I-"

"Oh come on. I see it in your eyes. Your not just shy. Tell me, I swear you can trust me."

"But Joey-"

"Claire."

I stop and relax a little. He jumps up so he's sitting Indian Style on the bed across from me. I slowly back up against the wall and lean back.

"Trust me?"

I look down. I'm scared, I really am, but maybe I'll feel better after. I, I'm freaking out.

"Yes."

I see him smile. "The stage is yours."
