Those People

T H I R T Y T W O

Joey (Couple days before.)

Joey: How many people are coming that you have to order all this food!?

Connor: Um. About 20.

Joey: Twenty!?

My eyes widened.

Connor: Maybe more... I said they could bring friends.

Joey: I said I only wanted a few people.

Carter rubbed his hand up and down my arm.

Carter: It'll be fun. Don't worry.

Joey: There's going to be over 20 people at my house in a week! How can I not worry!?

I swear I almost fainted.

Carter: It's only for one day.

Joey: If there is people under 21 here I swear Connor. Your the one dealing with it.

Connor: Don't worry, there won't.

I looked at the time.

Joey: We should probably go. Tomorrow is Carter's first day at work.

I smiled at Carter and grabbed onto his hand.

Connor: If you insist.

Connor escorted us out the door.

Carter: Why are we leaving so early?

I shrugged.

Joey: I need to feed Wolf.

Carter squinted his eyes at me. We got inside the car.

Daniel

Eliot gently squeezed my hand. I looked up from my phone and at him.

Daniel: Mmhh?

Eliot: Is that Joey and Carter?

I looked in front of me. I stopped in place as I saw the two boys kiss.

Daniel: I-I think so.

They both pulled away, Carter smiling and Joey blushing.

Carter: Thank Y-

Daniel: Joey?

Both boys turned to look at me.

Joey: Daniel?

Joey stared into my eyes as if I weren't there. As if he I was a ghost. His facial expressions blank and hard to read. He opened his mouth and then closed it. I slowly approached him. He has grown a beard and mustache, puberty had hit him like a bus if you were to ask me.

Daniel: H-How have you been?

Joey studied my face. Confused.

Joey: Good. You?

He gulped.

Daniel: There are so many things I want to ask.

Carter locked his hand with Joeys. I looked at him.

Daniel: I'm dating someone else Carter.

He nodded but didn't budge.

Joey: I have to go Daniel. We're running late.

He looked at Carter and smiled. They started to turn but I stopped them.

Daniel: Can we talk? Later?

Joey: Well. I have a busy schedule.

I looked at him questioningly. He bit his lip and looked at Carter.

Joey: There's going to be a party at my house. Tomorrow. Here.

He took his phone out.

Joey: Just text me if you're going.

He showed me it. I took a picture of it. He looked up at me. I nodded. He turned away.

Daniel: Where are you going?

Carter: Why are you so nosey?

Joey: It's ok Carter. He had a meeting. I'm going to drive him there. Now we have to go.

They walked away before I could say anything else.

Eliot: I think you made things awkward.

Daniel: H-He looks so different.

Eliot: What do you except? 6 years out of high school. He has his own job. He's probably already married.

Daniel: there was no ring.

Eliot: What?

Daniel: I checked, both of them weren't wearing a ring. They aren't married. Surprising. After 7 and a half years. They're not married.

Eliot: We've been dating for 6 and we still aren't married.

I only shrughed.

Joey

Carter: That was awkward.

Joey: I agree.

I couldn't get The hopeful green eyes out of my head.

Joey: He looks... Healthier.

Carter: Maybe he stopped drinking and smoking?

Joey: Maybe.

I parked the car in the parking lot. Carter unbuckled his seat belt.

Carter: I'll see you at the house.

I pulled him close to me and pecked his lips.

Joey: See you.

He smiled and kissed me again.

Carter: Bye.

I waited till he walked into the school then I drove.
