Born To Be Alone

C H A P T E R E I G H T (part two )

We were  sitted in wes's room talking  about the party.

"It's going to be at the twins  house and it starts at eight. "  He said.
"The twins house? Isn't  it  almost an hour's drive from here?" I asked.
"Chris,stop looking  for  excuses not to go. "
"Why did it have to be a party though? Couldn't  you have chosen something else?"
"Nah I'm  fine with it . Anyways, let's get you something to wear for the party "
"What is wrong  with my clothes?"
"Chris,  I am not going out  with you  looking like  you came from a funeral"

He stood up and went into his closet . He rummaged about for a few minutes  and finally  took out ripped light blue faded jeans , a white t shirt written  "FUCK OFF" in black and a leather jacket.

"No no no I'm not wearing that leather jacket "
"Don't be a spoil sport . Who doesn't wear leather in this century? "
"I'm not  putting on a cow's  skin"
He looked at me for a few minutes  before he started laughing  out loudly, really really loudly. Louder than he did when we were at McDonald's and trust me, that was really  loud.
"What are you laughing  at?"
"No..thi...ng  "he said  while still  laughing. 
"You must be stupid to laugh at nothing "
"It's  .... you.....skin....."
I looked at him laughing  and I  couldn't help but crack a grin at that.  His laugh was bad . It soundest like  a donkey's sound mixed  up with a normal  human laugh and it was contagious. 
I was soon laughing  with  him as we sat side by side  on the floor.  I  tried to  stop but every time I  did i would look  at wes and we'd start all over  again . After a few minutes  we finally stopped but huge grins were on our faces. We settled  for a normal jacket after I  repeatedly  refused the leather one.
"You can use my bathroom  to take a shower . There are towels and soaps  under the sink . You can use my shampoo for your  hair of you  wish"
"Uh okay . How long do we have before we head out ?"
"It's  almost five . So three hours"
"I still  think it is a bad idea.  "
"Chris, just have faith in  me. I promised you  that  nothing  would happen to you  and I intend to keep my promise"

I  entered the shower and took a quick shower . I have never felt comfortable  in other people's showers. I always thought they would  just appear oit out  of  nowhere and open the door . I know what  your thinking  but I  can be a bit paranoid  at times. I  left the bathroom, a towel wrapped around my waist. My hair was dripping and I  was feeling  cold.

"Where am I changing?"I asked wes.
"In my room."
"I can't  change while you are here"
"Bro ,relax . We have the same body parts . It's not like you have something  I don't. "
I could hear the sarcasm in his voice .
"Actually ,I  do. It's  called dignity.  Now ,get out."
"I'm going to  take a shower so you'll be  alone . I  wont peek, I promise."
"You've promised quite  a lot or things.  "
"I told you ,i keep them  so just relax . "He stepped into  the shower and only after I  heard the shower running did I  start changing. 
He was done  showering in ten  minutes  as i was dressing. I looked good . I  looked at the scars on  the upper  part  of  my  hands . On  the  right was all the cuts that I  had given myself  over the last seven  years.  On my right  was the word "KARMA" carved by a razor . I remembered how I got it  and I  would have started crying  were it not for wes walking  into  the room . O pulled my sleeve down  and looked at him,  a smile  plastered  on my face.
"I'll  change in my closet . It's a walk in so there's  no  problem. You wont see any of  my beautifully  crafted pieces." He was smirking  when he said that  .
"Oh please it would be the best thing  if I  didn't  see them . I  can't imagine the nightmares i would have"
He walked away  from  the  bathroom and closer  to  the  edge of the bed where I  was  sitted. He leaned close to my ear then said huskily in my ear,his lips brushing  my ear
"Are you sure ? I can drop my towel now "
I  jumped from the bed when i processed his words .
"Dude that was gross  . "
"Did it works?"
"Not on a million  years would I want to see your mini-you"
"Whatever you say  . Just know you're missing  out " he said while walking into the closest. 
"Idiot "
