SORRY THIS IS STILL GARBAGE

JOSH'S POV

Shit. Another horrible day. Just another hotel with some girl. But who cares. I'll just leave her here.. i guess. I'll write a note.
'Look. I'm busy. See u another day.'
Now that's better. I fix my shirt. I put cologne on. I need to smell good. I have a pretty important meeting today. I fix my hair. Yellow. Why did I pick yellow?? A fucking serial killer with yellow hair. Good one Joshie.

I hop into my car and drive. I should make a stop at a gas station. I need snacks. After all, this is a 6 hour drive.
I pull up to Maverik. It's about 4:00 AM, but who cares? Not that early. I walk in and adjust my hoodie. The clerk is a girl. I doubt she'll suspect anything. I pick out some oreos, Gatorade, chips, and some candy. I won't eat THAT much. I hand her my stuff.

"Road trip?"

"Oh.. uh.. yea."

"Cool."

"Yeah."

"Where are you headed?"

She's starting to bother me but she looks pregnant. Mother told me to never pick a fight with a pregnant woman. Even if i COULD win.

"Um.. Chicago."

"Fun!"

She scans my items and puts them in a bag. She's writing something. Oh god. I swear if it's another 'hmu' note, I'm going to lose my shit. She hands me the bag and winks. Being the nice guy I am, i smile and walk away.
SURE HE'S NICE I MEAN YES OBVIOUSLY ALL MURDERERS ARE SUPER SWEET AMIRITE??

I look at the note. Sure enough, i was right. She probably just wants baby money. Ugh. I never want kids.

I get in my car and text Jake. 'On my way. Some lady wanted a date lmao' he texts back almost instantly. 'Lmao. See u soon bro.'

I sigh. Soon.. if that's what you want to call it.

6 hours later, i arrive at Jakes house. He always leaves his door unlocked when I'm coming over. Probably doesn't want to be on my bad side.

"YOU LOOK HOT!!"

"Holy shit Jake. Knock it off. So. What did you want again?? I mean i drove 6 hours for this. It better be important."

"I just wanted to say hi."

"JAKE!!"

"Chill bro. I'm kidding. You know that idiot Tanner? He knows about you. You need to do something."

"ILL KILL HIM!! I ALWAYS HATED HIM. HE ALWAYS WANTED MY INFORMATION!!"

"Uh. Yea. I guess so."

"You're acting weird."

"I FUCKED HIS SISTER. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT??"

"Holy shit Jake. Are you dating?"

"Let's not talk about it, lemon head!!"

Ugh. I knew he'd say something about my hair. He's always been a dick like that. Everytime i dye my hair he says something mean about it.

"Sour heart."

"What the hell Josh? How do I have a sour heart??"

"You've been doing this longer than me."

"Ugh. Let's just go to a bar or something tonight."

"Alright." I can't wait. I took a super long nap and i was having a great dream till ugly woke me up.

"Hurry up and get ready."

"As you say, your majesty."

THERE IS A PEACOCK OUTSIDE AND IT IS MAKING SUCH AN ANNOYING NOISE. I HATE PEACOCKS SAVE ME. SJFJKFGJ

I hop in the shower. Jake walks in.

"JAKE!! GET OUT OF HERE!! DON'T TICK ME OFF. OUT."

"Awe.. come on.."

See the thing with Jake is he's always been a little bit gay with me. I'm bi but I don't know about him. He definitely likes me though. That's the good thing. If i have a problem, i call jake. He likes me a lot and he'll do anything I say. I could say jump of a bridge and he'd happily do it.

After my shower, I blowdry my hair. What do I do with it?? I'll just comb it down. I walk into my room. I have my own room at Jake's place cause he has a HUGE house. But of course he's sitting on my bed.

"Pervert. Out."

"Awe.."

He gets up and leaves. There are times i fucking hate him. He's lucky he's useful to me. Not in a using him sort of way. Like we work together. A lot. We're pretty tight. Shoot. I forgot to get a dress shirt. I thought it'd just be a deed. Ughhh. I'll have to ask Jake for one.

I walk in, and he's in his underwear. I mean.. he looks pretty good. He even has abs. WAIT. SNAP OUT OF IT.

"Uh. Jake. I need a dress shirt."

"Alright. But uh.. Josh.. why are you blushing?"

"JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN SHIRT."
He tosses it and sighs.

"Now can you get out or do you want me to strip in front of you??"

"I'll leave. Sicko." I put the shirt on and some jeans. I grab a blue tie. It matches the pants. I mean.. even for a murderer, i look pretty good.

We head to a bar.
Jake has been checking some dude out for like half an hour. Poor kid. He's pretty cute though.
"You wanna see who can take him home?"

"No jake."

"Suit yourself."

He heads over to the boy. He looks really embarrassed. The funny thing is he's a waiter. He doesn't have time to talk and he's hinting at it but ah. It's hilarious.
"Jake! Leave the kid alone. He obviously doesn't like you."
Jake rolls his eyes and walks back to me.

It was a pretty fun night. Jake got a girl and we headed home.

I wanted to say goodnight but I didnt want to stop their fun. I went to my room and fell asleep within a few minutes. But obviously that didnt last. They were too loud. Watching a dumb movie, laughing hysterically, cringe. I decided to go on a walk. Then while i was having a great time, dumbass Tanner was picking on some kid. That was it. It was 2:00 AM and it was in an alley. It probably wasn't a good idea though, considering there was a girl at home. I hit him and told him to leave the kid alone, and then left.

But who knew that kid would be the love of my life?
