Jack finally turned on his phone. Notifications started raining in, he wanted them all to stop. He had taken out enough money to be fine for like another weeks. The texts mostly consisted of threats, questions about "what the fuck he thought he was doing?" or "Where the fuck are...

Alan was now at his limit, but Aaron ordered more coffee, and the girls shook their heads yes.

Imogen Howe made some comment about how she drinks so much coffee at the cafe that it doesn't effect her. Jack didn't buy that, saying there is no way caffeine doesn't affect...

They weren't the regular crowd, but the hostess was happy to see them. She called them beautiful, before the guys came in she asked if they had boyfriends, then told them to be careful. They just smiled. A few minutes after they sat down the boys came in, and after...

"Look who I found."

"Sup baby face, oh you a bit tired still. Haven't had your milk."

Aaron walked in putting a cup on the table. 

"Come on get ready we gotta meet them."

Alan checked his phone.

"I like him"  Imogen Howe yelled in Alan's ear. The music loud enough that you couldn't have normal conversations. 

"He's nice, brings out a different side of you"

Alan wanted to say something like "Yeah, but you should seem him when he's drunk." 

But he didn't just smiled and danced. Nodding...

He’d surprise Aaron, just like the old days. Bust into the party. What’s up! He was halfway done with the tall boy. 

He played some pop playlist out of a small Bluetooth speaker. “Tonight’s gunna be a good night.” Played out of it. 

He laughed in his head, he hadn’t heard that...

Alan was washed with anxiety. His face reddened and he felt like his heart beat was in his throat. 
He had two options, one was tell Aaron where he was, in some ways it was likely the only place to go. Or just not say a word, and pretend his...

His mom was happy to have him back. She wanted to see more of him. She was torn though. She would tell her friends at the Zumba class.

"Its nice to have him back, but I just hope he finds his thing though."

"Just enjoy this time, boys always leave home so...
