Chapter 36

"Dude seriously? You're famous then. Why don't you want anyone to know that?"

I shrug. "I don't care about them knowing about Evelyn, but we don't get along very well. She left my sister and me when we needed her most."

"Well if you don't care, then why keep it a secret?"

"My dad. Marcus Eaton."

"Oh yeah the famous fighter. Isn't he in jail for abusing his son…wait a second, that's you? Did he really beat you?"

"Yeah. He said it was for my own good. He calls me every now and then and scolds me for random stuff. I don't know why they let him. I guess they were fans." I say rolling my eyes.

"Wow. Now I know why you didn't want anyone to know. That's ruff man."

I walk into the living room and Zeke follows me. I walk over to the table by the couch and pick up a picture of Evelyn and me. There are a lot of pictures of her and a few of my father, but I figured Zeke wouldn't notice them. I haven't moved them, but I'm thinking I should.

"I haven't seen her in over ten years." I say still holding the picture.

Zeke doesn't say anything. He just walks over to me and puts his hand on my shoulder. I tell him I'll be back and turn on the projector.

"It's like I'm at the movies!" He says excited.

I roll my eyes and laugh. I end up putting on a movie that I was in with my mother when I was six. He sits on the couch alternating eating the three different kinds of chips he got earlier. I walk down into the basement and grab an empty cardboard box. I walk back up the stairs and hear Zeke laughing hysterically. I walk past him and back to the table with all of the pictures on them. I throw every single frame into the box and take it back downstairs to the basement.

"So where's this Alfred guy?" Zeke asks when I sit down next to him on the couch.

"He's not here. He only lives here every now and then. If I'm sick or out of food or something, he comes and helps me and stays for a couple of days."

He nods and goes back to watching the movie.

I hated this movie. It was so cheesy. I was this little boy named Austin. I was a singer and my mom was my manager. There was no point to it. Zeke seems like he's enjoying it though and he laughs every five minutes.

"Dude you were really good singer when you were six." He says shoving more chips in his mouth. I laugh and then think a little.

"So Zeke, I told you about me and my childhood, tell me about yours." I ask when the movie is over.

"Well Uriah and I were inseparable when we were little even though he is a year younger. My parents are boring old folks that travel a lot. I've been to thirty of the fifty states and that's pretty much it."

"I've always been meaning to ask you, if Uriah is a year younger then how is he in our grade?"

"Well Uriah is very book smart, but not street smart. He skipped third grade."

"So with your parents always gone, is it lonely at your house with just you and Uriah?"

"Yeah a little. I mean Uriah and I hang out with the same group of friends, but we don't hang out with each other."

I stand up and cross my arms.

"Well my house is huge, and you said yourself that we should have the parties here."

"What are you getting at Four?"

I was about to tell him to call me Tobias, but he's the one who gave me that nickname in the first place so I just leave it.

"I'm saying you can't throw a party without the host." He nods slowly with a confused look on his face. "Zeke I'm asking you and Uriah to move in with me."

"Holy shit! Are you serious?" He says standing up.

"Yeah Zeke. I'm serious. I get pretty lonely in the big ass house by myself and I thought who better to live with than my best friend?"

"Bro that would be awesome!" He says hugging me. "When can we?"

I laugh at how excited he is. "Whenever you want to man. You might want to tell your parents and Uriah first though."

"I need to tell them now! This is going to be so awesome. I'm going to go find Uriah and tell him. I'll text you later." He says walking out.

"Bye Zeke." I say laughing.

Well okay then. My best friend and his brother are moving in with me.

This should be fun.
