Part 31

**Gun's POV**

These past few months have been rough. 

Off was a train wreck the first few weeks and then he just shut everyone but me out. I felt more like a baby sitter then a boyfriend because he wouldn't stop drinking.

He was always yelling at me to leave him but I refused to.

He needed me there was no way I was going to leave him now. Whether he liked it or not he is stuck with me now.

The past few days though have been a little different. He slowly looks like his old self again but not quiet. At least the drinking has slowed down extremely to where I can actually have a conversation with him and not just cleaning up after him.

I didn't really feel the weight of kaownah's death like everyone else because we weren't close like that. I was sad about him passing but it didn't break me like it did to Perth, Gulf and Off.

I gently push Off's arm as he groans against my side. He has me in a hold against his chest and I really need to pee. So I start to tickle him and he wakes up real quick while softly laughing.

Off: Looking at me and kissing my nose. "What was that for?"

Gun: I stick my tongue out at him and pull myself from him, heading toward the bathroom. "I had to pee and you weren't letting me go so I had to resort to tickle violence."

Off: He rolls his eyes at me and glances at the clock in disgust. "Is that really the time?"

I enter the bathroom but keep the door open so I could speak to him.

Gun: Yelling into the other room. "Yea we kind of slept in a little bit, we have a little over 10 minutes to get our ass's to school. We've already taken too many days off and there's only 4 months left of school."

Off: "Your right. I can't believe it's already been 6 months since school started. Where the hell is all the time going."

Gun: Feeling a little sad. "Unfortunately time goes by quickly when your worrying or depressed about something."

Off: "Yea..."

I flush the toilet and walk back in the room after washing my hands.

Walking over to the closet, I pull out our uniforms and throw Off's at him.

Gun: "Come on get dressed sleepy head."

Off: He looks at his uniform and frowns. "I really don't want to go to school. Are you sure we have to go?"

I'm already almost completely dressed as I'm shoving my feet into my shoes while pushing my shirt into my dress pants.

Gun: I walk over to Off when I'm done and I start to pull his clothes on like a child. "Yes you need to go. I just said we can't miss any more days of class."

He groans without saying anything else and helps me pull the rest of his clothes on.

He is such a child...

We finally get ready and start to head out of the apartment. I plan on seeing if he'll want to move somewhere nicer once we graduate. I mean it's nice but I'm still not use to it...

He trudges toward the school ahead of me so I pick up speed and pull his hand into mine. I like it when I feel his hand swallow mine in his.

I always feel safe.

Gun: "I think I'm going to go to the library first instead of my first period because I need to find some book for this stupid project I have to do in my English class and I haven't even looked for any yet. I'll meet you at the cafeteria like usual. Do you want to go out somewhere to eat today? I'm kind of craving a beef bowl from the shop that's right next to the school."
