The Day After Boyz

Chapter 9.

I ripped up the note and threw it off our balcony. Mara was known for getting a little overboard so I shook it off. Jericho called over Vinny and they played basketball together. Each thump of the basketball added more to my headache.

Mikey was still here but he was rolling another blunt. Before he could light it I put my hand on his that was holding the drug.

"You know everytime you inhale this, you're killing yourself, and a little of me too right?"

He looked completely shocked. He put it down and leaned back. My heart hurt a little because from that angle he looked a little like nick. Maybe I still do have feelings for him.

"I get it." Mikey says.

Vinny came outside and Mikey jumped up.

"I'll go play now" he says.

"Hey. Are you feeling better?" Vinny says hugging me with one arm awkwardly.

"Yeah. Thank you for being here for me."

"You know that I would rather be here for you than anyone else on this planet."

He took off his SnapBack.

"Here take this. It'll remind you of me and that I love you."

This was all weird. Vinny was so rebellious, what is he doing?

"Thanks vin."

"No problem."

So he sat down to eat chips and I brought him a drink.

My mom walked in and asked about her silver locket again. She still hasn't found it? It means so much to her. Been in the family for 4 generations. But no, I didn't know where it was.

Vinny decided to walk home tonight, so I walked with him. It was a 15 minute walk and at the end all he had to do was cross a street. We talked about everything but had to talk loudly because of all the cars. Vinny hit the light to get the red light to turn on. We waited for a few more minutes and walked across. And then,

Everything went black. My side was killing me and vinny was half way down the road. He was barely moving but I still had full control. I looked up, and thomas was stepping out of the car.
