Chapter 6

(John's pov)

As we started a game of uno, we each were given 7 cards, as usual. I was sitting next to Jaren in the circle, our knees touching. As the game played out, Jaren usually forgot to call uno, so he didn't have a chance at winning.

I, however, had 2 cards left. A blue 4 and a yellow +2. Evan, who was to my left, put down a wild

"Make it green," urged Tyler, "He doesn't have green."

"I'm 69% sure he has green." Scott said.

I almost started sweating as everyone told their opinions of what color to change it to.

Evan finally spoke up, "PURPLE." He said as he changed the color to blue.

Groans and annoyed sighs filled up the room, along with a few thank you's.

I sat there for a second during my turn to build suspense.

"Aw man you suck," I started to say, "But it's too bad I got a blue!" I exclaimed as I slapped my blue 4 onto the deck.

"See," Tyler said, looking at Evan, "He didn't have green."

Evan responded with an eye roll. Next, it was Jaren's turn. He put down a yellow 4, changing the color. I didn't pay attention as the rest of the group played out their turns but as it got to Evan, I watched closely, palms sweaty (knees weak, arms are heavy, there's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti...), waiting for him to put down a card.

"I got you now John!" He happily said with a smirk as he placed down a yellow +2.

"YOU STUPID FUCKS, I WIN." I yelled a little louder than I should've as I threw my yellow +2 onto the top of the deck.

Everyone then yelled in suprise, along with boo's. I just sat there with a proud smirk as I watched the crowd go wild. I then turned to Jaren. He had a smile on his face. I think I started blushing when our eyes met because that smile was the prettiest, most innocent smile I had ever seen in my life.

The rest of the group must've caught on what was happening and started ooo'ing and aww'ing. I turned to face the group and they were all staring at Jaren and I.

"How about we watch a movie?" Jaren asked, obviously trying to push the attention off of him and I.

After he said that, Craig went to grab the remote and turned on the TV, which, conveniently, was already turned onto Netflix. As Craig flipped through the possible options, everyone either disagreed or agreed on a movie. We eventually chose to watch Ant Man (my favorate Marvel movie btw). When the movie was turned on, Marcel, who was closest to the light switch, went to turn the lights off. Everyone got up and chose a comfortable spot to sit at for the duration of the movie. I sat in front of the foot of the bed, on the floor. Jaren then sat next to me, giving me a light smile when I looked at him.

About halfway through the movie, I felt something heavy on my upper body. I look over and see Jaren asleep on my sholder. 'He looks so peaceful when he's asleep.' I think while still observing the sleeping boy.

By the time movie ended, I looked back at Jaren, whom was still sleeping, peacefully. I stared at him for a few seconds before he suddenly opened his eyes and our eyes connected. I immidietly turned my gaze away from him and try to play it off by grabbing my phone but before I can do that, Jaren lunges away from me.

"I am so, so sorry, I must've fallen asleep during the movie, I didn't snore did I? Was I distracting? Did anyone see? Did someone draw a dick on my fa-" He rambled on with wide eyes before I covered his mouth with my hand. (Before I fixed it in editing, I said, "I covered his hand with my mouth" phew, dodged a bullet by correcting it.)

"Its fine," I said whilst staring into his beautiful, brown eyes, "you're fine. You did nothing wrong. Calm down, you have nothing to worry about." I gave him a calming look.

I uncovered his mouth and he started to say something instead he got up and walked out of the room. I didn't know if I should follow him or not.

Everyone else in the room was chatting to each other so I figured nobody would be suspicious if I went and followed him.

I left the room and walked around, trying to find Jaren. Since it's my first time at Mini's place, I don't know where anything is, meaning it'll be tough to navigate my way through the rooms. I put my ear up against each door I pass so I can tell if there is anyone inside. I go through a few doors and then stubble apon one with its lights on. I press my ear against the door and hear slight crying. 'It's probobly Jaren.' I thought. I decided to knock on the door.

I heard him sniffle and then he says, "Occupied, go away." His voice sounds raspy and broken.

"Jaren," I say softly through the door, "it's John, are you ok?"

I hear more sniffling, "I'm serious John, now's not the time, go away." He says in a stern voice.

'I'm don't wanna anger him.' I think. I then give up and walk back to Mini's room, managing to remmember where it is.

I walk in and seems to be in a game of CS:GO and they don't seem to notice me walk in, for they're all focused on the game. I go sit on a empty beanbag and watch the remainder of the game.

Even though I was somewhat distracted by the game, I couldn't stop worrying about my brown haired friend.

A/N- Howdy doody! Sorry for the shorter update, I'm very stressed and nervous atm. I auditioned for this amazing choir group last week and I get to see if got in tomarrow. Wish me luck I guess! My last day of school is tomarrow though, so hopefully the future chapters will be longer than the past ones (maybe). Like always, I hope you enjoyed! I only started this book 3 days ago and I'm already obsessed with writing it oops. I used to write a lot of stories last year but I quit for some reason but as I've gotten back into it, I now remmember how fun writing is! Goodbye now, cya next chapter!
