Chapter 1
"It's a thing we do as a family every year, you know this." Josh frowned looking down at Chris who refused to make eye contact with him.
"I know, I remember when you would leave when we were kids." Chris replied.
"Then you know I'll be back at the end of the month, I'll call you." Josh assured rubbing Chris's shoulder trying to cheer him up. Josh smiled he knew Chris wasn't happy about him leaving for a month to go on vacation with his family.
"I love you." Josh smiled raising Chris's chin up to press his lips to his. Chris blushed closing his eyes. Josh pulled away stroking Chris's cheek.
"You ready Josh?" Mr. Washington asked. Josh pulled his hand away clearing his throat.
"Yeah." He replied turning to face his father.
"Chris." Mr. Washington smiled nodding over at him.
"Hello sir." Chris replied.
"I'll see you when I get back." Josh waved as he entered the car. Chris stood watching as the car pulled out of the drive way.
Chris sighed a month without Josh, a good and a bad thing. His body would get a rest from Josh but he wouldn't have Josh around. He recalled the times Josh left when they were little. Chris would mostly stay at home while he was away waiting for him to come back. Chris blushed thinking back about how happy he was when Josh did come back. Chris laid on his side resting on his bed it was already late and Josh hadn't contacted him. Chris closed his eyes a moment but soon ended up falling asleep.
Chris's phone chimed making him open his eyes his room was dark. He reached over grabbing his phone.
"Miss you." Chris scuffed amused to read the text from Josh.
"Me too." Chris texted back.
"Sorry for the late text."
"It's fine." Chris replied.
"Did I wake you?" Josh texted back. Chris had falling asleep again with his phone in his hand.
"Good night."
Chris sat at the table in the kitchen alone. He looked down at the bowl of cereal it was a little harder for him now, when he was a kid he had his mom so he wasn't completely alone. But his mom was out working. Chris sat up from the table putting the bowl in the sink going back up stairs. He flopped on his bed grabbing his phone scrolling. A few hours had passed and Chris was getting bored of being at his home.
Chris stood in line for the food court inside the mall looking at the menu deciding on what to drink.
"Hey!" The voice yelled Chris looked back as Mike threw his arm around Chris's neck.
"Wuaah! Mike!" Chris looked up to see him energetic as ever.
"What are you up to?" Mike asked with a grin.
"J-just out." Chris replied keeping the conversation short and simple.
"Heh, I can see that man." Mike replied as he stood next to Chris his arm still around him.
"You're not out with Josh that's rare!" Mike pointed out, Chris grabbed Mike's arm pulling it off of him.
"He's gone on vacation with his family. He won't be back till the end of the month." Chris informed.
"No kidding." Mike replied.
"Yeah." Chris replied.
"Why don't we hang out?" Mike offered.
"What?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, so you're not alone." Mike smiled Chris stood looking at Mike.
"I'm fine. I don't need company." Chris replied finding Mike's offer ridiculous.
"I gotta go." Chris waved and walked away as Mike stood watching him leave.
Chris laid on his back flipping through his phone, he sighed placing his phone down rolling onto his side.
"He hasn't contacted me…" Chris closed his eyes.
"I shouldn't be upset, he is on vacation." Chris opened his eyes staring at his wall. Though it hurt a little to be ignored.
