Help Me

Repeat that

Sometimes I just sit and think. I think about everything that's happened to me.

I understand that my life isn't that bad and other people have it way worse than I do, but It's still pretty fucked up. I mean, I'm a prostitute. A fucking prostitute. My own mother makes me pay to live in her house. Just because I'm gay. She's only nice to me when she brings a guy home. Other than that it's, "where's my money?" She doesn't even question where I get it from.

I could just move out and live with Jace. His mom has asked me plenty of times. I just don't know. I'm not sure what to think. Does that offer still stand? I'm considering it but Jace is still mad at me. It's been two weeks. I think he needs to get over it. I didn't do anything that bad. All I did was say what was on my mind. I didn't think he'd be so pissed. Oh well, he'll get over it eventually.

"No where to grow old...We're always on the run."  My phone sang. I change my ring tone every week. Why? I have no idea.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Ryan. It's me Jace."

Crap...What does he want? Is he about to yell at me again? I haven't done anything. Have I? Nope, I respected his wishes and left him alone. Like he asked me to. Maybe he's about to apologize. I sure hope so. I think that'll be the sexiest.....

"Uh, Ryan?"

"O-oh.. Hey Jace." He really saved me there. My thoughts would have gotten a little carried away.

"Did you hear anything I just said?" He asked.

"No..I didn't sorry. Repeat that." I feel kind of bad for making him repeat it but I just wasn't listening.

"I said I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. You didn't deserve that. You were just being yourself." He said quietly.

"Wow you said all of that and I didn't hear any of it?"

"Yep" He said popping the "p."

"Oh...Well...I forgive you. Now stop moping around lets go have a best friends day!" I said excitedly.

"Alright cool. Will you be taking your car this time or mine?"

"I don't have any jobs today so I guess we can take my car."

"Good, I really love your car."

We hung up and I went to shower and get dressed.

"Dude, you cheated!" Jace yelled.

We are currently at the arcade playing the mini basketball game. Jace is upset because I took the last shot and won. Which meant he lost.

"How the hell did I cheat? It's basketball. You just suck." I yelled.

"Oh really. I suck? Look at what you do for a living!" He retorted.

"Touche." I said and smiled. "Do you want the bear I won for you or not?"

"Of course I want the bear." He smiled.

My stomach growled. Very loudly. "Uh. I don't know about you but I'm starving. I swear my stomach is touching my back. That's how hungry I am."

"Sure. Lets go get pizza." He replied. We headed out to my car and hopped in. I started the car and looked at Jace. He's been staring glassy eyed at the bear ever since I gave it to him.

"You okay Jace?" I asked. He's been kind of distant all day.

"Y-yea. I'm fine." He hesitated.

What's going on with him? He's holding something back from me. I know it.

We're sitting at the Pizza Palace and Jace hasn't really said anything. All he's said was,"Pass me a napkin please." And he keeps fidgeting. What the hell is wrong with this boy?

"Jace you know you can tell me anything, right?" I said softly.

"Yes."

"Well tell me then. I know you have something to say. Just spit it out already."

"You know how I went on that date with Chase right?"

"Yeah..." I said warily.

"We went out again a couple of days ago."

"Ok...And?"

"He asked me to be his boyfriend." Jace said.

"Excuse me.. Could you repeat that?" I asked.

"He asked me to be his boyfriend and I said yes."

I know I forgot to mention one thing. It's summer time so they won't really have to go to school during the story.
