Emilios Pov
Jay gets up and heads to her room without a goodbye. I get out of my bed and stand by the end counter. I see her when she comes out. She's dressed with her keys in her hand. I'll be back later. She rushes out the door.

Normal Pov
I get in my car and speed off. I head to the only place where I can clear my mind, the cemetery.
I pull up in the mini gravel path.
Hi Chris.
I wave to the Blond boy that works there.
Hey Jay. You coming to see your Dad?
Yeah.
He smiles and I return one back as I walk to the far side of the field.
Hey dad.
I sit and place my hand on the grass.
It's been rough, dad. Ya Know... boy troubles.
I laugh a little.
I'm sorry I didn't come in a while.
I talk to him till I realize it's getting dark.
Dad I got to go. It's getting late.
I stand up and kiss my hand then put it on the ground.
Bye.
I wave then walk to Chris.
Hi.
Hey.
Want One?
He hands me a Drumstick (Ice cream)
Yeah sure.
I take and open it.
So how's life?
He asks.
Boy issues.
Wanna talk about it? ... to someone that can talk back?
Oh my God yes I've been waiting for someone to ask. So there's this guy...
I tell him everything, in general I tell him most things. I trust Chris. He's been there a lot since my dad passed.
Okay it's like...
I check my phone.
1am so I should go.
Okay. You need a Drive?
No im good.
Bye.
Bye.
I get in then drive back home.
Emilio lays on the couch, asleep. I brush his one loose strand of hair out of his face. I go to walk away when he grabs my hand. He mumbles something. I lay next to him and he wraps his arms around me. I feel his smile on my neck.
You came back.
He whispers.
Why wouldn't I?
I just thought you'd never wanna see me again.
His voice cracks a little at the end.
No. Of course not.
I hug him tightly then drift off in the sent of him and his cologne.
