simon

"please," lachlan looks up at me,

"don't make the same mistake as me- no, don't let me make the same mistake again" he says as he gets up and nods to jj then leaves,

i look at jj.

"i'm here to help" he starts and i narrow my eyes,

"as a friend" he shrugs.

"well? help me with what?"

jj waltzes his way over to me and puts and arm around my shoulder,

"buddy, look. that story that lachlan just told, do you really want that to happen to you?" he pokes my chest gesturing to me.

"no"

"then let me help, i know how you can block him out, make it so he can't see you"

"how would this help?"

"it just will, trust me"

"why should i trust you?"

"because," jj says putting his hand into my pocket pulling out the pocket watch,

"you carry my boyfriend around in your pocket."

"god damn did someone get the number on that truck" i groan as i rub my throbbing head,

it all starts coming back to me.

lachlan and jj. the party. mitch and his friends. lachlan hitting me- wait.

"lachlan hit me!?" i yell out as i throw my covers off,

i sprint out my bedroom,

tripping over an old sock from about 2 weeks ago and banging into the frame of the door.

"fuck! simon!? simon! where are you!?" i call out running around the house like a headless chicken,

i freeze as i hear a knock on the door.

running towards it and slipping in my socks slamming into the door,

"simon!?" i call tearing the door off its hinges.

"josh? you ok?" i look to see tobi standing there,

"what happened? jj told us that you hit you're nose on a counter because you where drunk, god you look like shit bro" he says closing the door behind him.

"s-simon's gone" i croak out,

"what?"

"i-i said, t-that simon's gone! he's go-gone! i can't f-find him! i don't kn-know what to do-do tobi!" i scream as i break down and lean on the closed door,

"hey, hey. calm down, now tell me what happened" tobi says, holding me.

"last night" i sniff,

"at freezy's party, mitch and his posey ganged up on us and got their asses handed to them. simon helped me out, and i-i just don't know. lachlan just, snapped. next thing he did was punch me in the face and t-then i wok-woke up in my b-bed" i starts crying again,

"i'm sure he just went out for a bit, he's fine. i'm a hundred percent sure of that" he smiles sympathetically.

"b-but tobi, he has to be near me, or he disappears. for good"

"i'm sure he isn't far probably round the block for a walk, don't worry it'll be fine."

"fine?"

"yes, josh. he will be fine"

"ok, thank you tobi"

"good, now then. the boys are waiting in the car if you wanted to get some nandos?" tobi smiles giving me a hand up.

"sure" i give him a small smile back going for my door handle,

"but, uh, you might want to change out of last nights clothes" he laughs,

i laugh along as i go to change,

also very embarrassed.
