Find Me Again?

Chapter 5

Valentin wrote in his diary, sitting on Ray's bed.  Ray wouldn't allow him to sleep alone with the nightmares he had.  It scared all of them to hear shrill screams in the middle of the night and see Jacob jumping and wiggling and sweating in bed.  Sometimes, if Ray is out late, one of the guys will sit with Vallie and tell him a story, or sing to him, or tell him funny things.

Dear Diary,

        I've been here for about a month or more.  I learned how to YEET and Nae Nae.  Crumping was way to hard and up close for me.  

        Travis is like a big brother to me.  Or an annoying little one even if he's 20.  He likes to vlog alot.  He puts me in his vlogs too.  I like it, he even had us all do a skit for his site.  I enjoyed it alot, I got to be a girl and act like I was on my period.  It was fun!  He makes me laugh so much.

        Diggy is, I don't even know how to say, the brother I have a bond with, but not where we like talk alot.  I don't know.  He likes rapping to me.  I like putting make up on him and Craig, sometime's Travis will let me.  Diggy usually kisses my forehead just like a big brother.  He's protective too.  He works at McDonald's, he gets me free fries and ice cream.  

        Craig!  Ugh Craig Craig Craig, you'd be perfect for my best friend Chresanto...   Craig has a big mouth.  We tried to go to a library, he wouldn't shut up!  But he's good at advice.  And making me laugh, I never knew how much I loved to laugh.  Craig...He's a big brother and a best friend.  He'll joke around with me.  Like one time he put All About That Bass one and started acting like he was twerking.  I ended up on the floor, tears and all.

        Ray...He isn't a brother or a friend.  I want to call him..more, but I can not.  Ray makes me feel..hapy and free.  Protects me, cheers me up, and if I am stressed.  He'll take out his poems that no one knows of and reads them to me.  Short stories too..and sometimes we dance as he reads his poems to me.  They were so deep and cutting.  I most of all love when he calls me 'Hot Stuff', he told me he calls me that because I come from LA.  I'm sometimes his 'Little Actor'.  I just get all warm and fuzzy around this man...

        One night, after a movie.  There was a van.  And it all went so fast.  I was in Ray's arms and shot guns were shooting.  I was terrifed...and I swore I saw Myles.  I swear! But I was scared, so who knows what I really saw... I sat on Ray's bed that night, rocking in fear, shaking.  "What was that.."  I had asked.  "Some guys ya know..."  Ray said rubbing my back.  "What did they want?"  I asked and Ray looked at me and just walked away.  I now know, it's not any of my business.  

        I've had a nice ride so far, but how long until I have to go-"  

"Jacob!"  Ray's bellowed scared and I jumped.  His large hand caught my diary and pen.  He smiled and put it into the draw.  He never reads it, he knows what it's like to want privacy and he knows if something will bother me, I will pester him about it...

"Yes Ray?"  I looked up.

"We're all going to the ASPCA."  Ray said and I screamed so loud.

~~

The boys cleaned their hands with the sanitizer and walked into the Dog section.  They entered and the room was filled with barking.

"Now go..see what dogs you like."  Ray said and Valentin took off.  

Valentin did stop nad pet a Mastiff. "GOT DAMN!"  The boys squeaked and Val giggled as the Mastiff liked his cheek,  "Aye, dog not coo.'"Diggy said standing Val up and ushering him along.

"What's in there?"  Valentin ventured to an empty cage and saw, a little Yorkie dog run to the cage.  "EEEEEEE!"  Val squealed so loud all the dogs stopped barking.  "Look at you! SO small! So CUTE!"  Val nuzzled noses with the Yorkie outside the gates.  

"Val, come on.  Too small."  Travis said and they moved him along and Val looked back at the Yorkie and nodded.

Valentin went to other dogs, some he liked some he didn't.  Val sighed and walked to another cage.  There was a Pitbull laying there and then a Rottweiler came up."EEEE!" Val clung to the gate as both came up and started sniffing and licking him.  "Big...Big dogs..."  Tre whispered...

Ray pulled Val off and placed him down."  What do you want?'  Ray asked.  "The Yorkie,  The Rottweiler and The Pitbull." Val said.  "No... Too scary and too small."  Craig said.

"We're getting them..."

"No we're not.."

"Yes we are..."

"No were not."

~~

"I can't believe we got them."  The boy whispered as Jacob fixed the rhinestone collars ont them and their matching rhinestone leashes.  

They were walking next door to the pet store.

Valentin ran them ragged, getting nice brand dog food, two bags.  Bowls, dishes, toys, toys, toys.  A ramp.  Dog beds and doggy bags.  

"So what you naming them?" Ray asked.  Val slowly petted his yorkie in his bag," Beans."  He turned to the pitbull and kissed his nose.  "How about... Happy.  Since your's so Happy!"  Val giggled as Happy licked all on his face and Val pushed his head and turned to the Rottweiler,"Doc.  Yeah cuz you a Doc." Val nodded and Doc jumped on him and the dogs all got they sugar.  

"How..."  The boys whispered, because all the dogs, snapped at them, even the Yorkie. 

~~

"How long will I be staying?' Val asked looking at Ray.

"My Little Actor, as long as your heart desires."  Ray answered.
