Inhale

Chapter 30:

Corey petted Jim's dog as he looked up.

Jim smiled over before going back to what he was doing.

Corey sighed gently. He had been there a week and was starting to feel like a nuisance.

Maybe he could sneak out? Not return. Jim didnt have to know.

But where would he go?

He felt the bridge where he stayed before wasnt appropriate because he kind of just disappeared. He felt to awkward to go back.

And he didnt want to go to Joey's because his heart still hurt painfully.

He didnt want to go to anyone else's because that would require them knowing. And nobody but jim and wel Joey knew what happened to him. He didnt want to explain the argument. Which he begged Joey hadnt shared.

That left his grandmas.

But he didnt want to plague her.

He had no where.

He sighed again, fuck. Why did it have to be this way?

He bit his lip and pondered.

And a smile started to curve his lips.

There was always one place he could go.

He felt bad because it would be a shock to Jim but god was life going to become easy for him.

He grinned. It was perfect. Flawless. Yes.

"What are you so happy about?" Jim laughed

"Well...I'm just uh.." corey looked down shaking his head "happy that uh, I've been able to get close to you again jim."

Jim raised an eyebrow "really?"

Corey nodded "oh yeah."

Jim shook his head. That was werid. Corey hadnt been happy at all. What was he planning?

Corey got up "I think we should do something jim."

"Corey...i love that you're feeling well...but what brought on this sudden erge of happiness?"

Corey looked away again "hanging out with you."

Jim could tell he was lying. But he didnt want to keep pressing.

"What do you want to do?"

"Something fun and rememerbale."

Jim blinked.

Something was definitely going on. And he didnt like it.

"Rememberable?" Jim questioned

"Yeah something you'll be able to remember and hold dear for years to come."

Jim faulted. What was Corey on about? He sighed. He didnt want to disappoint him.

"Sure. Let's go."

Corey smiled as he walked towards the door.

Jim shrugged at his dog before following as they walked into the rain.

"Corey slow down." Jim said

"Sorry." Corey grinned

Jim felt really nervous. This wasnt like corey at all.

No. Not in the slightest.

Corey lit up a cigarette and looked around "I think theres an arcade near by."

Jim nodded slightly "yeah if I remember correctly."

"Can we go?" Corey begged

Jim smiled "of course."
