The next morning, I couldn't shake the guilty feeling I was having. Odds are more than half of the people at that party got into a shit load of trouble and I literally got a month without after school activites. I had nothing to do after school anyway, so it was hardly a punishment and I think my parents knew that.

    After thinking about it in a long hot shower, I went to my bedroom and sat down on my bed in just a towel. I picked up my phone from it's rightful place on my bedside table and my fingered linged over Brookline's contact. There was a knock on the door. "Don't come in unless you wanna see a sexy naked boy on his bed", I call out, not even looking up from my phone.

    "Ben, there's a boy here for you", My mom's voice replied from outside the closed door. My head shot up and my body followed after. I yelled a "Just a moment!" and scrambled for a gray 21 Pilots shirt and black sweat pants.

    I went to my bedroom door and opened it. It was just my mom standing there, which made me thought she was just playing me. "What the shit puddles? Where's the boy?", I ask. She motions for me to follow her to the living room.

    There was a short hallway that led to the living room. There was a bathroom at the end of the hallway and two bedrooms on each side of the side of the hall. Then on the other side of the trailer was another bedroom and mom and dad's bedroom. The living room seperated both areas of the trailer

    I followed her into the living room and the tiny hallway seemed to go on forever. Thoughts raced my mind. What if it was Brookline? Would he be pissed at me? Did I want him to be here? Surely I didn't.

      But all of my worries and questions seemed to quickly vanish when I saw Atrix standing awkwardly by the door. He smiles when he sees me and I smile back. "I'll let you guys talk", my mom says before walking off. Oh, the kitchen was kinda with the living room. There was a little minature wall seperating the little kitchen and living room. Mom made her way over to that and started on her cookies.

     "Can we go to my room?", I ask my mom. She shakes her head and I sigh. "Can we go for a walk then? We won't go far?". She thinks for a second before agreeing but giving us a boundary line.

    Atrix and I walk out of the trailer and start walking on the small back road. "So, um, not to be rude, but how did you find my house?", I ask him after a couple of minutes walking.

     "I asked your dad. I saw him at National Guard armoury and went for it", he shrugs. I nod but raise my eyebrow. I look at him and I guess he understood my confusion because he answered my question. "I work for the armoury on the weekends. I do the whole advertisement things for them". I nod in understanding.

     "Cool. So did you know my dad when you saw him?", I asked him. I examined him for a second. He had a relaxed expression, one that made me relaxed. He had ripped skinny jeans on and a dark red tank top on. I felt myself drift off in thought and I guess Atrix caught me because he faked a cough. I looked up at him and let out a soft "hm?".

     "I answered your question, but I'm gonna assume you didn't hear me?", he laughs softly, making me blush. "I saw your dad around, but didn't realize that until I saw him today. He's pretty chill". I nod and rub my arm, still embarassed. He puts his hand on my back. "Something up?".

     I shake my head and bite my lip as I look at him. "I'm good", I lie. He raised his eyebrow and I sigh. "You kinda made me feel stupid is all". He stops in his track and stands in front of me.

     "Holy shit, Ben. I 100% didn't mean to", he curses himself and I smile a little. "I'm really sorry. I thought it was cute". I smile more and look up at him.

    "You know, I'd kiss you right now if I didn't have a boyfriend", he whispers. Boyfriend I can react, my phone dings. I dig it out and look at the screen. I had a text from an unknown number.

     "Brookline the beast here, send me your address, I have an idea for the play", the text read.
