Breaking walls

Shitty couch

  It's been two months since high school started. Friendships were made, some were easier, others took time. Joey becomes the newest member of the swim team . After the first practice, Joey's outside the pool packing  his things when a beautiful black girl comes to him. 

B- Hey, you look like archie! Nice to meet ya, i'm Bailey. I'm also part of the swim team.

J-  I'm sorry what? (Says Joey distracted)

B- Archie, that guy from the comic books and Riverdale. 

J- Look i dont see that shit, bye! (Says Joey rudely)

B- Hummmm, that was so fucking rude! (She yells)

And he just keeps walking... 

Usually he's very talkative and friendly but this time, on this day, was his mother's birthday. After this, he goes to his baseball practice. 

While Joey's life was kinda messy,  Carlos on the other hand was happy. After school, he and a group of stoners came together in a park near school to smoke some joints. One by one they go away until there's only left Carlos and a girl named Amber. Amber uses glasses, plays the piano, loves sex and sings a lot and well. 

A- So spill the tea sis. When was your first time rollin?

C- Sis? I, i ,i dont...

A- Yeah sis! Thats how i call my gays.

C- I started rollin just last year, with a guy from my neighbourhood.

A- Hmmm i see you didn't answer my question.

C- It wasn't a question.

A- Yeah but i'm questioning your sexuality right now.

C- I dont know why is that so important. I dont even know and i dont know if i wanna know at all. 

A- Bullshit, dude! I have a pretty good gaydar and don't ask me why but i know. C'mon i need a GBF and u need to be happy! I know there's a guy...There's always a guy...

C- I just...... (the phone rings)

(It's Joey's father)

C- What happened Mr. Miller?

M- .....

C- He's not home yet?

M- .....

C- Oh shit! I completely forgot about that. Yeah, yeah i think i know where he is.

(He hangs up)

C- I'm sorry i have to go, my best friend needs me. See you tomorrow!

Carlos goes to Northern Plains Botanic Garden Society where Joeys mother used to take him. It was their special place.

He finds his best friend completely drunk and destroyed on the Parking Lot.

What have you done..... (thinks carlos)

Music starts playing: 

J- Hey!!! Look who's here! Ehehehehe!! The man...my man...someones man. What are you doing here? (Cleaning his tears with his right hand and grabing a bottle of wishkey with the other)

C- I came here to get you home, bro. You're too drunk!!! Joseph, i'm really sorry i forgot about today. I shouldn't let you be all alone on this day...

J- Ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok, first of all, i'm not drunk i'm just happy to be alive, i'm happy that my best friend showed up, finnaly. I'm just being happy, you know drinking. and second of all, pfffff it doesn't matter i guess, no one cares. You are getting high with those loosers and my dad is fucking some other bimbo. While i guess i'm the only one that cares about the most important person in my life! (Screaming) But hey, i'm chill. I'm all alone, its fine dude.

C- This isn't chill and you are not alone. So, please, just come with me, i'll make something and then you are going to bed, cause you need to get some rest.

J- You are not my mother, you know why? cause shes dead (starts laughing)

C- Lets just go home, Joseph!

J- No no no no no. I wanna stay here and be fucked up. Do you know how much pain and suffer i feel inside? everyday i wake up and for a minute, everything seems just right and then i remember that nothing really is. (crying uncontrollably) So, please just go and leave me the fuck alone.

Music ends: 

C- No asshole!! I'm not gonna leave you like this all alone because believe it or not i care about you and you are my best friend. SO LET ME GET YOU HOME.

Then, Carlos takes his BFF home, helps him take a bath, get dressed, eat something and go to bed. Carlos ends up sleeeping in his BFF's couch. 

Later, in the middle of the night, carlos wakes up to go to the bathroom. He comes back, with Joey still drunk and sleepy:

J- Hey...Come to bed.

C- Nah its ok. The couch is fine. Go back to sleep.

J- Shut up! That's a shitty couch.

Carlos ends up going to bed with Joey, when something weird happens. Joey puts his arm around Carlos. 

(WTF is happening) Thinks Carlos.

Next day...

They go to school together and carlos asks joey:

C- How did you sleep?

J- Fine i guess. My head is spiraling but i'm fine

C- And do you remember anything from yeasterday?

J- Hummmm. Nothing, really. Did something happen?

The school bell rings... (next chapter. to be continued)
