Chapter 12

''Are you sure your mom won't get mad?'' Clay asked. ''I don't want any angry ladies coming to my house asking where her son is.'' He smirked, and Darryl just grumbled. 
''I'm sure it's fine, and my mom wouldn't do that.'' Darryl replied in a slightly annoyed tone. 

The four boys stopped at a large brick house. It had a dark green door and a small, but fairly large, garage.
''And this is the place I sleep in every now and then.'' Clay said jokingly, putting his arm around Vincent's shoulders and then leaning down on the shorter boy. Zak rolled his eyes and then smiled, turning his head away from the couple.  Clay then started to walk over to the garage, and then he opened the garage door. ''Aight, Zak you can borrow my dad's bass if you'd like, and Vinny your guitar is behind the toolbox.'' 
''Right, I'll borrow your dad's, you go get it for me.'' Zak said as he sat down on a random box. Clay sighed in reply, annoyed he had to get the instrument, and then opened a door leading into his house.
Darryl looked around the garage. It looked like any other garage, but there was a huge drum-set and speakers beside it, they were all plugged into a power outlet, but they weren't turned on.
 Darryl looked over at Vincent, who had leaned over a big red toolbox, trying to reach a guitar case. 
''You just keep your guitar here?'' asked Darryl, trying to start a conversation with Vincent.
The boy didn't move his head to face Darryl, he just kept his body leaned over the object, so his words sounded a bit muffled. ''Uh, yeah. Since I'm here most of the time, I thought I'd just leave it here.'' Vincent replied. Zak made a 'Oooh' noise, and Vincent just grumbled something in french under his breath. Darryl smiled at Vincent's reaction, then he heard someone open the door. 
''Kay got it,'' it was Clay. ''Here, try not to drop it this time.'' he said as he handed Zak the bass.
Zak pouted and replied, ''That was one time!'' 
''Better be the last.'' Clay responded as he switched on the power outlets.

''I think I should get going now.'' Darryl said as he unplugged his guitar. 
''Already?'' Zak asked, he only received a nod in reply. ''Guess I'll go too then.'' Zak said getting up from sitting on a box. ''See you guys on Monday?'' Zak said as he put the bass he was holding down on the ground, gently. ''Yeah bye,'' Vincent said, not moving. 
'Guess he's gonna stay here.' Darryl thought. 
Darryl put his guitar back in its case, and put his school bag on his shoulder. ''Bye,'' Darryl said while looking back at his friends, then he walked out the garage. He started to walk down the sidewalk, the air was chilly and cool against Darryl's skin. He breathed in the cool air, and then took out his phone, checking the time once more. 

16:07

''WAIT-''
Darryl snapped his head back, looking at the boy who exclaimed. ''Zak?'' he asked, clearly confused. Zak was slightly behind Darryl, so he jogged up to the older boy. 
''Heyy, so I was wondering,'' Zak started, panting softly. Darryl tilted his head, giving Zak a look that said 'Go on.'
''Maybe, do you want to go to my house? Like, right now?'' He finally finished. Darryl's cheeks flushed up, ''Right now?'' He repeated.
''Yeah! Why not? It would be fun,'' He said with a smile, his cheeks becoming rosy. 
''Hmm, I don't know, I'd have to ask my mom first..'' Darryl said. He only received a pleading look from Zak. He thought for a moment, but he couldn't say no to that face. ''Fine, I'll text her now,'' Darryl said with a small sigh. Zak only grinned and straightened his back, 
''Great! We can hang out some more then.'' 
''No promises, my mom might not agree.'' Darryl said, not taking his eyes off his phone.  A small moment of comfortable silence washed over the two boys as they waited for a reply. A moment later, Darryl's eyes lit up. 
''Wow, she actually agreed for once.'' He smiled. 
''See? Told ya we could hang out,'' Zak smiled as he slowly picked up walking speed. ''So, where is your house exactly?'' Darryl asked. 
''I'll just lead the way,'' Zak replied simply. Darryl shrugged and followed Zak. 

Another silence hit them, but this time, Zak felt no need to start a conversation. They were fine just walking together, keeping each other company. Darryl looked around as they both walked though the town. He's never been in the far side of the small town they lived in, so he tried to remember most details around him, to make sure he won't get lost if he ever has to walk around there again. A cold gush of wind blew past the two boys, sending a shiver down Darryl's spine, causing him to shake a little. He put his hands in his pockets and looked ahead of him. 
''Are we close to your house yet?'' He asked impatiently. 
''Yeah just one more turn, sorry it's so far away.'' Zak said. ''No it's okay, just wanted to get out the cold that's all.'' Darryl replied. He could almost feel his cheeks turning red from the cold. 

Darryl looked up at the sky, for no reason really, the bright blue colors of the day had begun to fade into a warm yellow. The dirty blonde boy smiled to himself, he couldn't describe the emotion he was feeling at the moment. He felt relaxed and happy and mainly cold. The two emotions had appeared a lot more since he hung out with Zak almost on a daily basis. 
''What cha smiling about?'' Zak asked, looking over at Darryl. Right as Zak said that, Darryl formed his lips into a line.
''Not sure, I just kinda am I guess,'' Darryl smiled, his cheeks still red from the cold. Zak only nodded and smiled.
 ''Welp, oh- We're here!''
