(Inspired by the song "Jayton and Jill")

In a small town, a blonde haired boy worked at an old gas station on the edge of town. He changed oil and fixed flat tires all day for seven bucks an hour. Most people just looked through him.

A brown eyed boy was the local preacher's kid gone wild. His father would quote the bible, telling him how he would never amount to anything. His family couldn't stand the small boy. The only attention he got was at parties.

One night, the brown eyed boy got drunk, and an out of town guy offered to take him home. He agreed, thinking nothing of it. In a parking lot, the guy parked the car and slid his hand toward the brown eyed boy's private area. The boy slapped his hand away, telling him that he just wanted to go home.

The guy's face turned red, and he started yelling, causing the younger boy to flinch back. His fist flew, hitting the brown eyed boy's jaw. "GET OUT!!" he yelled, and, frightened, the small boy did so. The guy revved the car and sped off, leaving the brown eyed boy standing in the rain.

The brown eyed boy wandered down the road, only looking up when headlights shone over the hill in front of him.

"Hey, you need a ride?" the blonde haired boy asked, pulling up beside the shivering figure.

"Go away and leave me alone," the brown eyed boy said.

The bruise on the other boy's jaw caught the blonde's attention, and, as he watched frightened tears fall from those beautiful brown eyes, he replied, "There's no way in hell I'm leaving you out here."

Lightning flashed, and the blonde's jacket looked warm, so the smaller boy climbed in the car and let the jacket be wrapped around him. "Okay, I guess. Thanks for the ride," he said, settling in.

As lightning cracked and thunder rolled, they rode out the storm in an all-night diner. They sat and talked all the way up till dawn, and by the time the blonde dropped the brown eyed boy off, they felt a lot less alone. These two lost souls had found a connection, and they weren't going to lose it if they could help it.

They were each other's best friend, and they still are after all these years. A little more, actually. Two rings, a house, and a baby girl more, in fact.

There was one thing the blonde never told the other about that night.

The reason he was out there at that time of night was because he had taken his dad's old revolver, and was driving around thinking about how no one would miss him if he just ended it all. He was blinded by his own pain until he saw an angel walking in the rain.

Thank god he made it over that hill.

That was the night when Nico met Will.

Aaaaahhhh!!! I absolutely love this!! The song this is based on is one of my absolute favorite songs, and I thought it would be perfect for these two!

Go listen to the song if you haven't already. It is "Jayton and Jill" by Zane Williams. You won't regret it.

Stay sparkling my friends!
