We arrive at the mall and start walking around. Lui runs into a store and we follow behind him patiently.
"I think we're just going to be babysitting Lui and David the whole time." Tyler whispers to me.
I giggle, "Probably. That's usually how it works." I mumble. Lui walks back to us with a red hoodie.
"Should I get this?" He asks us.
"How much is it?" David asks him.
"45 dollars." He looks away.
"45 dollars for a plain red hoodie?" Luke asks.
"It's not plain! Look." He turns it around and shows us the monkey face it has on the back.
Craig laughs, "I guess if it looks cool to you, then go ahead." Lui nods and goes to buy it. Once he's done, we leave the store and travel to another one.
Time Skiiip
As we're walking out of the mall, a random guy grabs my sleeve.
I furrow my eyebrows and look at him, "Sir?"
"Here, boy." He hands me a box. I look at him curiously.
"Life can be hard. Everyone needs a...release sometimes. Ya know?" He smirks. I look at him for a second.
I nod slowly, "Oh...okay...thank you." I mumble. He pats my arm and we walk off.
"What's in it?" Arlan asks.
"I'll open it when we get home." I tell them.
"What did he mean by a release?" Brock asks. Brian snorts and leans over to Tyler and whispers something to him which makes him laugh too.
"What?" Brock asks. Tyler whispers what Brian said to Brock.
Brock rolls his eyes and smiles, "You guys are sick." Brian and Tyler burst out laughing.
"What'd they say, Brock?" Scott asks with a smile.
Brock giggles, "Brian said there would be a tool for 'older boys' in there." Everyone laughs except for me.
"Wait what?" I ask them. Brian laughs again.
"You're innocent, it's okay." Jon tells me with a smile. I furrow my eyebrows and keep my mouth shut. We continue to walk, talk, and laugh. I love us. We arrive at the house and quietly walk upstairs to my room, closing the door silently. Me and Jon sit on my bed along with Brian and Brock as everyone watches me anxiously to see what's in the box. I open the box and the first thing I pull out is another rectangular box. I showcase it to everyone and they all burst out laughing.
I look at it closely, "What is it? Is it like...lotion?" I ask. Jon laughs and shakes his head no. I examine it closer until I read the back.
"Oh my- this is what you guys were-" I sigh in disappointment as they all laugh at me. I look at the item that begins with an "L" that's for people who aren't getting what they want in a relationship.
"Should I ask why you all know what this is?" I raise an eyebrow.
"No! Just continue." Brian says with a grin. I put that box on my dresser and continue looking in the larger box. The next thing I pull out is a box of cigarettes and a vape.
"D*mn... giving minors cigarettes and a vape? Foul play..." Marcel mentions. I put that on my dresser and pull out the next item. Condoms. Nobody says anything. I awkwardly put it on my dresser and look in the box. I see a rope, some bullets, and a knife. My face gets slightly hot. I leave those in the box and put it on the floor.
"What else is there?" David asks. I shake my head and yawn.
"Bedtime." Brock says with a smile. They all set up their beds and put on their pajamas. I put on my pajamas too. We all climb into our sleeping spot and say goodnight. Lui turns off the light and Jon wraps his arms around me.
Time Skip + Jon's POV
I wake up in the middle of the night. My eyes flutter open as I unwrap my arms around Evan so I can stretch. I turn to my right when I hear strange noises. The room is dark. I can only see the outline of all of my friends. I scan over the room until I see movement. I squint my eyes and sit up so I can see a little better. What am I looking at? What I assume is David, is doing something above what I assume is Lui.
That's when it hits me.
"Are you guys f*cking?" I whisper. The noise stops and David moves away from Lui.
"Jon? What are you doing up?" Lui whispers as he panics
"I heard noises. Why are you guys up?" I ask. They both go silent.
I sigh, "It's about time, but you guys just had to do it while we're all here? In Evan's room?" I ask quietly.
"Sorry, okay? We'll go to sleep." David mumbles. We all go back to our previous sleeping positions and pretend like nothing happened. They both doze off, but my eyes stay wide open.
Brock's POV
My eyes drift open, but it's pitch black. I guess it's still nighttime. I search for my phone and grab it when I find it. It's 3:23 am. I quietly climb out of my sleeping bag and stand up. I look around and notice that Jon isn't with Evan. I step over everyone and tip toe out of the room and sneak downstairs. If he's not in the bathroom or in the room, he must be in the kitchen or outside. I check the kitchen, but no one is there. I turn around and walk towards the front door. I open it quietly and peak outside. There he is, sitting on the sidewalk. I step out and close the door behind me.
"Jon?" I ask quietly. He turns around and glances at me before turning back to look at the road.
"Hey Brock." He mumbles as I walk up to him. I sit next to him and match his gaze.
I look at him, "How come- Jonathan, what are you doing?" My eyes widen.
"Don't tell Evan." He mumbles to me.
