BRIAN'S POV OF 301

I walk into the loft, over to the couch and put my briefcase down on it. I look around, and I know that Justin has been here. I can feel it.

I take my jacket off and head to the bedroom. The closet door and his dresser drawer are open. I throw my jacket on the bed and walk over to his drawer. Everything that was his is no longer there. I find a forgotten sock on the floor. As I pick it up, I see that the clothes in the closet are only mine now. I throw the sock on the bed, and peek into the bathroom. Everything in there is only my stuff too.

As I walk out of the bedroom, something on the desk catches my eye. Justin didn't take his computer. Maybe he was in a hurry. When I have a chance I'll take it to Ian's place; better yet I'll bring it over to the diner. Or maybe I'll just mail it to him.

Also on the desk is one of his drawings of Rage and J.T. Rage is flying, holding J.T in his arms. I crumble up the drawing and throw it on the floor.

I take off my tie, grab a bottle of beam, and sit on the couch. I take a big swig of the liquor. Maybe tonight I will go to Babylon, and see if Michael wants to come.

Then I remember that in a few days Justin's tuition for next term is due. I'll get it paid tomorrow before work. Even though we're no longer together, we have a deal.
