It was the first day of school! I had gotten dressed and basically as ready as I could possibly be? "Ready to go?" I asked Mitch as I threw my backpack over my shoulder, "Yeah, let's go!" replied Mitch and grabbed the door handle, only to jump back in shock as Justin's sleeping body fell over by the doorframe.

"Justin? What the fuck?" said Mitch and walked over his body, dodging it barely as he exited our room. "Justin, oh my god! wake up!" I yell as I weakly smack his face, "Justin?" I said as I continued to smack him and slowly watched as his eyes open.

"Did you sleep outside our room?" I asked as I carried his body in his dazed state. "Yeah" he replied and grabbed my hand after I threw him onto his bed, trying to get to class on time. "Wait" said Justin, just as I slipped from his tight grip and walked out of his room.

"Finally! Are you ready to go?" asked Mitch who was waiting impatiently by the front door. "Yeah, I guess?" I replied and stopped as I heard Justin limping down the stairs from tiredness.

"Justin get back in bed!" yelled Mitch and grabbed a hold of my shoulder, trying to drag me out of the house. "Wait..." I said as I noticed the dark circles around his eyes, "Go" I said to Mitch and took a final decision to stay at home.

"What?! But you'll be late" said Mitch frustrated, "I'm staying at home!" I replied and assured Mitch that I was sure of my decision. "Fine, but don't fuck up anything!" said Mitch and slammed the front door behind him, leaving me alone with Justin.

"Hey, are you ok?" I asked as Justin hunched over the kitchen sink with the kitchen sink running. "Hey! Are you ok?" I asked once again, trying to get his attention.

"No, I'm not ok" replied Justin and started crying, "Hey, what's wrong?" I asked, even though I already knew what he was going to say. "I fucked up!" mumbled Justin in his state of tiredness, "What?" I asked as I didn't clearly hear what he said. "I FUCKED UP!" yelled Justin and fell to the floor crying.

"Hey-hey-hey" I said as I kneeled down to his level, "Why are you here?" asked Justin and looked up to me with his puffy, red and tearful eyes. "I don't particularly like you right now, but I can't leave you here alone like this." I replied and helped him get up from the floor and on to the couch, knowing that it was impossible for me to carry him up the stairs.

"Can't you stay here for a while?" asked Justin and grabbed a hold of me. "Well, I'm already late?" I replied and slowly started enjoying his company.

"Do you want to watch a movie?" asked Justin and grabbed the remote as I stayed on the other end of the couch. "Sure" I replied and watched as he scooted himself across the couch to get closer to me and requested that I was going to rest my head in him.

I obliged and slowly laid on top of him and used his chest as a pillow, listening to all of his heartbeats. "What do you want to watch?" I asked Justin in a sigh as he logged on to his own Netflix account and scrolled through all the possible movies we could watch.

"This one?" asked Justin as I slowly felt myeyes beginning to shut, "Yeah" I replied snuggled up against him once again ashe adjusted his position. "Ha-ha, don't fall asleep now" said Justin, rightbefore everything went black.
