Chapter 7

Scene: Chatting with Graser at the joint.

"Ok ZACK, how come your here in the middle of the day? Shouldn't you be recording?" I asked curiously.
"Actually SY, I have been here since 9 this morning... No buses will be working today because of this accident. I don't really have a way to get home." Graser said with a worried look.
"How did you get here?"
Graser points to the bus in the accident.
"You were in the accident?" I asked sounding a bit too worried.
Graser nods and then runs his hand through his hair and slouches in his chair.
"What about a taxi?" I suggested.
"I tried, they said they wouldn't be coming to this part of town because of the crazy traffic."
"Wow! That's rude!" I exclaimed.
"Have you recorded for today?"
"Yep, at least that's out of the way." Graser mumbles.

I give him a sympathetic grin. I then have a crazy, out-there and risky idea.

"So, what are you going to do?" I ask.
He looks at me for a second and then answers.
"I guess I'm going to have to find a motel to stay in for the night until tomorrow." He says rubbing his eyes and head and then sighs.
"Wwell, you could stay at my apartment tonight, on the lounge?" I ask feeling really uncomfortable but it was a nice thing to do.
He stared at me with a really weird face.
"Naah, I can't do that. No offence but we don't know each other well enough." He said very lightly.
"It's better than a motel and wasting money." I prove sounding really creepy.
He looked really stuck and confused. He finally gave a smile...
"Thanks."
"I have to start work at 2 o'clock, so I will show you the apartment now and while I'm working you can do whatever you want." I offer.
"K, cool, let's go." Graser says excitedly.

We get up and leave the Joint and walk across the road. The heat from the apartment lobby splashes over my face.

"You are lucky you live right here, across from the joint, in a nice apartment. I need to get me a place like this." Graser enthuses.
"Yeah, I love it here. I used to live in Victoria, Australia and this weather today, is our Winter in Australia."
Graser chuckles and lets me get into the elevator.

"Straub tells me how hot it is in Australia. He also told me how you don't have doorbells, you just walk in." Graser says looking very knowledgable.
I burst out laughing uncontrollably.
"You don't actually believe that do you?" I manage to spit out in between giggles.
"So wait you do!" Graser looks mind blown.
I don't even answer and hop out of the elevator and unlock my room door. Then I realise that I haven't cleaned. 😂

We both sit down on the lounge for a second and then I get up and get a spare blanket and pillow.
I felt really awkward so I felt like I needed to break the ice.
"Wanna watch some YouTube?" I ask excitedly.
"Sure!" Graser smiles.

I open up YouTube with my subscriptions, suggested videos and history all up to see. Graser looks at me and back at the computer. He clears his throat and points to my subscription box, but more specifically, Thinknoodles.

"It's good to see that someone thinks that just because we don't play with each other doesn't mean you can't watch us both." Graser says looking surprised and content.
I look at him with amazement.
"If you don't mind me asking, but what happened between you and Think? You were the bestest of friends and your bond was stronger than anyone I've ever seen?" I blurted and also mumbled.

Graser stared at the sub box and I could see his eyes getting weaker and teary. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and opened his mouth to talk...
