Hey Guys- just wanted to correct some mistakes I've made in the past couple of chapters

In the end of chapter 2, I meant to type "threw the bottle of AZT", not "through"

And in chapter 3, Reggie's boyfriend's name is Daniel. I kept going between Justin and Daniel and somehow I ended up putting both- oops!

Oh, and in this chapter, the characters might be using dialogue from RENT, which is a musical, so if all of their sentences rhyme with rhythm, that's why…

Otto's POV

I smiled. I'm at Twister's house. I knew that the second I woke up, before I even opened my eyes. I've slept in his room so many times before I know the smell by heart.

I opened my eyes slowly as I pulled the covers around me tighter and turned over to see Twister already awake.

"Hey. What the hell happened?"

Twister smiled. I frowned. I hated that smile, the one that said that something was bothering him but he wasn't going to tell me what until I asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Huh?" He turned to face me. "Oh, nothing…"

"Twister…"

"Your arm." He looked away.

I looked down at my arm and bit my lip. There were two small marks, their message clear.

"I didn't want to… Sean got me drunk and…"

"I know." He took a deep breath and ran his hands through his hair. "Don't do it again, ok? Heroine can really screw you up."

"I won't. I don't like it. It was Sean, I swear…"

"I know, I know." I could tell he didn't believe me, but I left it at that.

"There's something else."

I looked into his eyes and saw that there was something else that was bugging him.

"Nothing…"

"Twister…" That's all it ever takes.

"Don't you remember yesterday?"

I paused, racking my brain. I remembered him punching Sean, then taking me home. That's it. "A little."

"Do you remember what happened in the bathroom?"

I Scrunched my eyebrows together, trying to remember…. "No…"

"We… well, we kissed."

I paused. "Oh."

He took another breath. "So?"

"So what?"

"So…. We kissed." He looked at me, waiting for me to say something. I only smiled at him.

"Yeah… we did."

He shook his head. "That means nothing to you, does it?"

"What? No… wait... it does, it's just…"

"It's fine." He sat up. "You can borrow my clothes and go home. I need to be alone for a while."

I nodded numbly, not knowing why he was getting so upset.

Once he walked out of the room, I put on some of his clothes and my coat and headed downstairs.

I heard the soft strumming of a guitar coming from the basement, and headed towards it.

I opened the door to find Twister crying. Concerned, I walked through the doorway and towards him. "Hey, what's wrong? I've never seen you like…"

Twister's expression immediately turned from sad to angry. I backed away instinctively as he walked towards me.

"Who do you think you are, barging in on me and my guitar?

Little boy, hey, the door is that way. You better go, you know the fire is out anyway."

He put his guitar back on the couch. "Twister I…"

He cut me off, "Take your powder, take your candle. Your sweet whisper, I just can't handle!"

He pointed at the door. "Take your hair in the moonlight. Your brown eyes- goodbye, goodnight!"

At that, he turned away, wiping tears from his eyes. He was whispering, but I could still make his words out. "I should tell you…. I should tell you…NO!"

"Twister, just tell me what's wrong and I can help, please!" My pleading eyes met his, causing his to turn cold as he came towards me.

"You'll never understand it, Otto! How much it hurts to watch you hurt yourself like this!" He motioned towards my arm.

"But it was Sean, I didn't…"

"Another time- another place." He walked towards me menacingly. "Our temperature would climb, there'd be a long embrace. We'd do another dance, It'd be another play. Forget the romance, come back another day!"

He collapsed on the couch. I finally understood what was wrong. I placed my hand on his shoulder comfortingly. "The heart may freeze, or it can burn. The pain will ease if we can learn." I sat down next to him. "There is no future, there is no past. I live this moment as my last. There's only us, there's only this." I took his hands in mine, gently. "Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other road, no other way, no day but today."

His hands relaxed in mine for a moment, and I felt a strange sensation go through me. Oh my god… I was right… I do love him. I looked into his eyes, and that was when he immediately tensed up and stood up, letting go of my hands.

"Excuse me if I'm off track, but if you're so wise then tell me- Why do you need smack? Take your needle, take your fancy prayer, and don't forget, get the moonlight out of your hair! Long ago you might have lit up my heart, but the fire's dead, ain't never, ever gonna start!"

He ran his fingers though his hair, tugging at the roots. "Another time, another place. The words would only rhyme, we'd be in outer space! It'd be another song, we'd sing another way. You wanna prove me wrong? Come back another day!"

I felt my fists ball up. No, he's dealing with too much, keep your cool, Otto. "There's only yes, only tonight. We must let go to know what's right. No other course, no other way, no day but today."

"I can't control…" "Control your temper!

"My destiny…" "He doesn't see…"

"I trust my soul… my only goal is just to be." "JUST LET ME BE!"

"There's only now, there's only here." "Who do you think you are?"

"Give in to love or live in fear!" "Barging in on me and my guitar!"

"No other path, no other way." "Little boy, hey, the door is that way!"

"No day but today!" "Take your powder, take your candle!"

"No day but today." "Take your green eyes, your pretty smile, your silhouette!"

With that, Twister cornered Otto towards the door, forcing him out of the house. But Otto refused to give up on the only person he cared about.

"No day but today." "Another time! Another place! Another rhyme, a warm embrace!"

"No day but today."

Twister shut the screen door, getting ready to shut the main door ad he yelled out to Otto.

"Another dance! Another way! Another chance! ANOTHER DAY!"

Twister slammed the door shut as Otto yelled at the cold exterior staring back at him.

"No day but today!"

Please r/r, and Prince Izz- WHERE'D YOU GO! WE ALL MISS YOU AND YOUR KISKASS FICS:'(
