Never Let Go (A Gay Furry story)

~~~5~~~

we both entered the casual looking restaurant. I took a seat once the waiter showed us our seats and handed us our menus. "So... Have you been here before?" I look at James, who's just looking at the menu.

"Nope! I've never been here before but why would I anyways? I'm not much of a restaurant fur, who likes to eat out. I love home cooked meals" He finally looks up at me as he sets down the menu probably having his order all ready. "Guessing you already know what to order?"

"Yea I do. Just a burger with fries nothing special" James doesn't say anything else and just looks outside the window for we both are still kind of in an awkward situation not knowing how to spark up a good conversation. So I decide to just take a quick scan of the foods on the menu and I find myself a pasta dish that sounds good.

The waiter came by to take our orders. "Did you hear about the new kid in our school? I think his name is Gavin or something around there" James just fiddles around with the sugar packets.

"Yep, I heard about him because he's my partner in class, not all so joyful of having to deal with new furs but oh well. I'm sure he'll blend in quite well" I start to chuckle over some of the thoughts that are going through my mind. "I'm actually trying to be more sociable. Might it take a long time to get there? But who care at least I'm trying something out of my comfort zone. Get what I mean?"

"Yea I understand what you're trying to tell me. You have never been such a sociable fur, so it makes sense on why you would want to change that outlook on yourself" James gives me a hopeful smile. "Wanna know what's weird, though?" he takes out an ice from the glass of water by his side and keeps it in his paw as I see it slowly drip water.

"What's weird?" I ask more curious than ever. "The fact that you still have my number after so long or maybe the part where your parents never ever come home to visit you but if they do. Nobody ever sees them" James raises his right eyebrow as he looks at me dead on.

"I-I uh..." I sat there silent for I can only imagine was hours but soon came to realize that it was only minutes along with seeing my food being set in front of me. "Yea... that's true" I respond to calmly, picking up my fork to eat up.

"Okay, I'm done eating and I'm sure you're gonna take forever so I'll just leave this money here for you to pay them and give whatever change as tip" James walks out putting money on the table. Leaving me all alone in the booth seeing the lights getting dimmer and dimmer. "Thanks, James" I look at the empty seat in front of me. I took what James said to me as "Fuck off and leave me alone" though I couldn't tell.

"You know what? I think I'm done with this fucking crappy school! This crappy as fuck life I live! And the furs who just hate my guts!! I thought Gavin would be something but whatever that incident was with him today before he left looked like he hated me" I pull up my hoodie to block out the cliche rain. 'Wow had to rain! Such a cliche even though this is real life!' I thought to myself as I just bolted home not giving a fuck about who I pass by or bumped into.

"I'm leaving this place forever... never want to see it again or its furs who are here" I get to my room packing a bag full of what I'll need along with two duffel bags of mostly all my clothes. "Time to sell all of what I won't need to make spare cash" I make my way to my laptop looking for a pawn shop as I load my car with stuff I won't need also with things that seem quite old. 'Now many furs might think that my decision is to rash or that I'm dumb for thinking of leaving my hometown, leaving all that I have behind me. That's the thing, though! What am I gonna be leaving behind? The friends I no longer have or maybe the family who barely cares about their son? Haha' I made it to the shop as I thought of those things in my head thinking of much more but trying not to.

"I'm here to sell you guys all stuff!" The three male furs stare at me weirdly but decide to take my word so I signal them to follow me to my trunk to show them all of what I have. They mostly took everything except for two things. 'A box with a decently sized amethyst and this old picture frame of me as a pup' I get into the front seat with a whole lot more cash than I expected to score. "I'm going to keep this picture and gem as a memory of something that I survived"

I arrive back home to say my final goodbyes to the place I grew up in. Remembering all of my good memories that I did have as well as all the broken dreams that remain there. "Well, here we go" I step out the door leaving the spare key, where it belongs and leaving about two pages worth of explaining why I left and where I could've possibly gone.

"Goodbye Northridge. Hello the big city but it's not like it's gonna be any different? Or will it?" I turn on the radio so I can stop thinking about all the bad things that could go wrong. I pass by the welcome sign to my town, I don't even dare look back in the rear view mirror to see it fade behind me slowly.

To be honest I didn't really know where I was going with this so I hope you enjoyed whatever this is .3. I have to openings for two OC's though so PM me all there info and maybe you'll get lucky!!! I ain't being bias here and choosing friends that I know so if your one of my buds don't be disappointed I didn't choose your OC. Like always take care! I hope ya all have such a wonderful night and or morning. CYA LATER FLOOFS
