------------
It was later that day, or the next day, or perhaps a week later, the boys didn’t know. There was no window looking to the outdoors nor was there a clock in the small room so the boys had no way of telling. Sometime earlier a man the boys hadn’t seen before entered and gave them each a piece of bread and an apple, as well as a water bottle. Other than that they hadn’t  seen anyone for a while. They had both ate a small piece of their respective bread slices and drank a bit of the water, wanting to ration the food and drink as well as possible, who knew the next time they’d get any. They were both on edge, when the man delivered the food he told Montgomery to eat and save his strength as he’d be needing it later. Although neither wanted to admit it they both knew what he meant.

They stayed silent both having nothing to say but at the same time they wanted to say everything. When will they get out? Will anything happen to them? Will they get hurt? Will they ever get to leave? Will they die? The last one haunted them the most, they didn’t know what these men could do but they obviously were capable of a lot, most of them look like they could kill them both with nothing but their hands. They were both laying on the small bed, practically on top of each other but neither cared.

Justin finally broke the silence, “I miss Alex so fucking bad.”

Monty nodded, “yeah, I miss…” He trailed off and stopped talking, realizing he said something he wasn’t supposed to.

“You miss who?”

“No one, it’s nothing.”

“Do you have a girlfriend?”

He had to stop himself from laughing at that, remembering that Justin doesn’t know, “incorrect.”

“Do you have a boyfriend?”

“Correct.”

“Did not know you swung that way.”

“I’m a baseball player, I swing every way.”

“Are you-”

Monty interrupted him, “I’m pansexual.”

“I was going to say that until you interrupted me.”

“Too bad.”

“Sooo who’s your boyfriend?” Justin asked in an almost teasing voice.

“Not sure if I should tell you.”

“What? Why?”

“Because leaving you in suspense is fun,” Monty laughed.

“Ugh, tell me,” Justin whined.

“Nah.”

“Please?”

“Since you asked nicely, no.”

“How about I guess?”

“Okay.”

“Give me a hint?”

“He goes to our school and is extremely attractive.”

“Umm last I checked Alex was dating me.” Monty shook his head as Justin guessed again. “It’s not me or Alex, I don’t think it’s Zach. Is he on a sports team?”

“Yes.”

“Which one?”

“Baseball.”

“Jeff,” Justin said without hesitation.

“Correct.”

“Wait, really?”

“Yep,” Monty smiled.
