Why him?!

Journey

"What are you doing? Why are you here?" He asks.

I look up at him, and without any notice, I start crying.

"Hey. Hey hey. What happened?" He takes a seat next to me and wraps an arm around my shoulder, shaking and patting me gently.

"You don't live near here. How long have you been out here? Joseph talk to me" he says.

I make eye contact with him again and shake my head as more tears stream down my face.

"I ran away" I blurt.

"No shit. But why? What happened?" He asks.

I keep shaking my head.

"Let's go. It's cold out. It's also sprinkling. I was on my way home anyways my parents aren't here, they're on a trip." He says, standing up.

He grabs my arm, pulling me up. Once I'm up, he starts walking. Every now and then he'd glance behind him to see if I was still following him.

We get to his house and he takes me to his bathroom.

"I'll grab you some clothes to sleep in. Stay here" he nods at me before leaving.

I look at myself in the mirror and study my eyes. I start thinking again.

Mike and I broke up.

I start crying again and he comes back in, rushing to my side again.

"Damn Jospeh. Dude what happened? Here, change into these and I'll make hot chocolate." He hands me some clothes and walks away again.

I pull myself together and after getting dressed, I make my way down the hallway and to the kitchen.

He's sitting at the table, a cup in his hands and a cup infront of him.

I take the seat across from him and start siping my hot chocolate.

We sit in silence until he finally decided to break the silence.

"Are you going to tell me what happened?" He asks.

I lock eyes with him and nod slowly.

I sigh before speaking.

"Just broke up" I say.

I feel no need in telling him it was a guy.

"Ah, I'm sorry man. That must stink. Did he cheat?" He asks.

"Yeah, actually. Which really shocked me since I've known him my whole life." I answer.

It takes me a few minutes before realizing.

"Did you just say he?" I question.

He laughs.

"Yeah. Chase told me." He shrugs.

"And you don't mind?" I ask.

"Are you weird? Yeah. But I don't think it's as big of a deal as he makes it out to be." He says.

"Kyle.." I start.
