~ Chapter 5: Watch every Harry Potter movie. ~

        Damon came back alone. I don’t know why but I was happier with it just being the two of us, I wouldn’t have wanted to feel like the third wheel and I wanted some quality time with my old best friend without him being all lovey-dovey with his tall blonde girlfriend. And yeah, I know I said I would try to get to know her a little better but I didn’t want to do that tonight.

“Katie said she was tired so she’d pass on that one.” Damon explained.

“Ok. Then I guess it’s just the two of us. Should I make pop-corn or do you prefer to order pizzas?”

“Do I have to choose?”

“You’re right, let’s eat both.”

I ordered the pizzas and we sat on the couch with big blankets and pillows to get comfortable.

“Do you remember when we put Dragibus on our pizza?” Damon asked.

“With spicy sauce! That was terrible!”

“What?? That was so good!!!”

“Ewe! You’re crazy!”

He laughed.

“Ok, you’re ready?”

He nodded and I pressed the play button. Well, you’re not going to believe it but we did watch the four first movies then decided we would take a break and slept a few hours in the couch. Then, we watched the other ones and finished all of them in the beginning of the afternoon. At the end, Damon took the pen and checked the first square.

“That was really cool.” Damon said, yawning.

“Yeah but we should probably go take a shower. No offense.”

We laughed and finished the brownies. Then Damon got up and went back home after thanking me. I make him promise to come back tomorrow to do something else from the list. Then I ran in the shower and put on new pajamas that actually smelled good and not like pizza or sweat. Ewe, I know.

Jenny called me and I explained to her the situation with Damon (I didn’t tell her he was dying exactly, just that I needed to spend some time with him because he was sick) and that I wouldn’t be going back to college this year. She was a little torn about this decision because she said she “needed her best friend there” but she also agreed that maybe spending time with Damon before he’d have to go  was a better idea than beating myself up when I’m in class because I’m wondering if he’s ok and because I’m loosing the few more months I have with him. (Oh, I also told her that he would move out soon across the country. I don’t know why but I just couldn’t bring myself to tell her the actual truth)

She promised to come as often as she could by the house to see me and said she was going to tell our friends so that I don’t have to answer all the calls of people wondering where I am and everything. I thanked her, and then we spoke about something else. About an hour later, I realized my phone’s bill was going to explode if I didn’t hang up so I did and lay in my bed for a few minutes. I heard the door and thought that it was probably Seth coming back home. And well… Let’s say he really didn’t expect me to be there. I went down and found him, (god just writing those words make me nauseous), in action with a girl.

“Oh my god!” I exclaimed, while covering my eyes.

The girl screamed and covered herself with a blanket while Seth was getting up.

“What are you doing here?” He asked surprised and a little angry too that I had cut him in the middle of … well you know.

“Um… This is my house remember? Can I talk to you in private?”
