June 2002

  August, the release date of the album, was approaching rapidly. The stress had got to everyone with random outbursts of aggressive disagreement and creative differences that usually didn't occur. They each had different tolerance to stress. Some could barely handle the pressure while others felt nothing at all.

 June was almost over and July was their last month to work on the album. Chris and Jonny had been in countless fights the last month and their romantic relationship was put to a halt. Jonny looked much paler, he could've been sick or maybe it was the stress. Chris noticed this and began to grow worried. 

  Can somebody have a cold for weeks? Jonny and Chris walked into the hall before Chris pulled him into the bathroom and began to kiss him. Jonny  hesitated before he decided to push him off and then shook his head, "I don't feel like it, I..." Chris  shook his head,

"Just relax." Jonny gently pushed him by the shoulders again, "No... really." He sighed as usually, it was the other way around and he didn't want to do anything, "Alright, do you still wanna go to my home?" 

  Jonny nodded, "Yeah, of course." Chris was disappointed they hadn't done much other than makeout and he knew Jonny was still very hesitant and so was he. They left the restroom before getting into Chris' car. Chris asked quietly, "Are we ever gonna be a real public relationship?" 

  Jonny huffed, "It was you they didn't want to go public with this. Maybe we should take a break until we are both ready." Chris looked at him after a long pause, "I guess I could drop you off at your house if you don't want to you know..." Jonny nodded, "That may be best, I think we need to focus on work for now if we wanted this to work out." 

  Chris sniffed, "I understand." Chris wasn't sure if he was angry, sad, or disappointed. He had worked hard for his confession but, they both were so stressed out and it might help them if they had one less thing to worry for. 

   Jonny looked at him, "Thanks." The ride was silent as they tried not to look at each other. 

  Once they arrived Jonny kissed his cheek, "This is temporary, right?"

   Chris nodded and whispered, "Hopefully." Jonny said his thanks again before closing the car door and walking into the apartment lobby. 


  Would it really be temporary?
