MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! I hope everyone has had a safe and happy christmas with your friends and family! This is so very late, I know. But I'll try to update more frequently now that I got to winter break..

Everything is Gone

And your life shatters around you,

Like a glass vase when it hits the floor

Arrogant boy, Love yourself so no one has to,

They're better off without you.

I pushed the door to my car open as I stepped out to the buzzing rush of the city. The city was my favourite place in all of California, just the right balance of the beach and the sky scrapers. It was the one spot here that never actually quieted down, never slept. Which explains the thriving mass of anonymous individuals, piled in different spots of the pathway, beating with energy that is carried from one person to another. How in heck am I going to find either boys here? 

I made my way through the swarm of people, nearly tripping over a child who -now that I’ve actually looked- couldn’t have passed three years of age. Your attention span is dropping again. If I want to actually find Lucas and get him out of here today and not next year, I’ll have to hurry up.

After clearing up from the people standing at the entrance, I had to deal with the problem of where to look for him. He said he was going to the shop where we liked our sleepover treats. Our parents would always bring us here to run around and get those treats, and they slowly became a tradition in any sleepover of ours. 

The movies weren’t far from it, which worries me even more; by the time I reach the store Lucas and James might be pulling each other’s throats out. The throat pulling would probably be from Luke’s side, to be completely honest, mostly because Lucas is not exactly fond of James, to put it gently. In a less sugar coated phrase, I’d say Lucas would rather set himself on fire than be in the same room as James, and I’m still struggling to find out the reason for that.

After some time of searching, pushing my way through crowds, and certainly trying not to hyperventilate, I reached the treat store. I would’ve exhaled a sigh of relief, but the sight in front of me didn’t exactly provide that luxury.

Standing -or rather huddled together- in front of the store wasn’t just any crowd, it was a cheering congregation. They were all pumped up with energy; some of them were jumping in excitement, others had their hands to their mouths in fear. Please don’t let it be..

As I got closer to the crowd, I heard voices. Grunts, screams, shouts, and even hushed giggles every now and then. I felt a knot forming in my throat; it can’t be a coincidence for both places right beside each other and there’s a fight there. It can’t be. Thing is, I know Lucas is stupid, and if he caught sight of James, he could aggravate him to no end. On the other hand, James is defenceless. He could barely muster a glare, let alone fight someone, someone as big and bulky as Lucas, I must say. I’m not saying James is weak, per say, but he’s not exactly your best bet at a physical fight. Why are you making all these assumptions? It might not be them after all.
