It was interesting and surprising how many people came up to him to say happy birthday. Was it special? No, not really. Did it make him feel good? No, he felt the same. Did it matter? No, but now it did.

"Evan!"

Evan stops in his tracks and spins around to see jonathan jogging towards him. It was great.

He was great.

"Evan! I- uh....happy birthday!" Jonathan said and Evan smiles at him, without even realizing it himself. "Thank you...." He mumbles as a soft shade of pink dust over his own cheeks. Jonathan smiles at him and hugs him, "wish you the best of birthdays" Jonathan said and Evan sworn he felt like electricity ran thru his body. Ecstasy.

Quickly, Evan wraps his arms around Jonathan's smaller frame and brings him as close as possible. He needed to feel everything that this boy had to offer. Jonathan gasped as he tippy toes a bit since he was now being lifted up by Evan. The taller male breathes in slowly Jonathan's scent and sighs in pure bliss.

Jonathan wasn't complaining about the hug because this hug was different, he felt comfortable, warm and loved in a way but deep inside, somewhere in the back of his head, he was uncomfortable. It was a bit weird just in general, the hug brought unwanted attention for both of them so maybe that's what's making him feel that way.

Jonathan pushes himself off of Evan and he laughs awkwardly to try to brush off what just happened.

Jonathan was gonna tell him something about it but evan looked so happy, so relived and relaxed, alive even.

Jonathan just smiles and drags the male along with him, "Let's go, we'll be late to class"

-

After school Evan ran home and locked himself inside his room. He jumped right into his computer and looked for a place, far, far, away.

The prices where high enough for a place alone and not only that, this places don't come with anything that makes up a home, meaning he had to spend even more money to get lights, water running and furniture. Evan stop and thinks to himself, he doesn't even have a job yet so how was he even gonna pay for all of this? This man is going balls deep without even thinking about the outcomes. So he stops and thinks to himself, was this really worth it?

Something inside him thinks no but honestly everything he is doing is for Jonathan so, yes it's worth it already.

Evan was gonna graduate soon enough so by the time he gets this house the faster he can put this plan into action.

Evan sighs, he can already picture how things will go for them. They will live happily ever after.

Another question he also had in mind was if he was gonna tell his parents about moving?

You can hear someone knocking on his door and he growls, rolling his eyes as he questioned who was behind the door, "It's you're mother and I demand you to come out this instant Evan Fong" she snapped and evan follows her orders.

But at least that answers one question.

"Yes mother?" He said as he leans to the side of the door frame. She scowls at him and sighs, "what has gotten into you? Leaving you're brother, not saying good morning no more-"

"I changed"

"....but not for the good, that attitude will not be tollorated in this house, so you will have to start getting you're things straight-"

"Im moving out"

"....."

Nothing, nothing at all. Just thick uneasy silence.

Evan looked at his mom's face drop, something in him twisted and he realized that he finally felt bad for someone else either then Jonathan. Props to the second woman he will ever love. "Why? I know you're 18 but-"

"I just want a bigger space for myself" Evan says as he rubs his face.

"You have you're own room, Evan what-"

"It's not the same"

"WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT!?" the woman screamed and Evan slightly flinches, tears swelling in her eyes and soon they spill out staining her bright pink cheeks. She puffs angrily and desperately tries to contain herself but, her baby was leaving the nest and she wasn't ready for it. She never was and never will be.

"What else....do you want..." she sobbed as she brings her head down and she tries to come close to evan to hug him but evan wasn't sure if he wanted a hug. So he watched his mother struggle to pull him closer.

But seeing how he felt something for his mother he brought her into his chest and she cried harder.

"Im sorry mom..." was all he could say.

"Please don't leave...." she sobs into him but he shakes his head and hugs her tighter.

"Im sorry"

The next day came by and evan already had everything plan. With the money his dad gave him he bought rope, alcohol, clothes, bags and much more. Not only that there was plenty of money to spare afterwords.

"Success~" he said as he walks side by side his new friend. "so what's you're plan?"

"Leaving, getting a house far away from this place and taking my present to my new house~"

"Great minds think alike~"

"Did you do the same?" Evan wondered and mark nods, "Oh yes! I sang before I did it"

"What did you sing?"

"His for me, not for you"

Evan looks at Mark and he just smiles, "right..." Evan said before looking back to the bags.

"It's a classical really"

"Mmmm"

Mark changes the subject to yesterday's night and evan shrugged, "I told my mom I was moving. She cried and told the rest of my family and my dad had a serious talk with me. Almost beat my ass for making mom cry-"

"She's a nice lady" mark interrupts.

"She is" Evan agrees, "But there's another problem"

Mark frowns, "and what's that?"

"I still don't have enough money for a house, I have plenty of money to spare as in paying at least 3 months of taxes and bills, that and I still don't have a job" Evan pauses, "and even if I did get one I won't bring enough money back to get the house that I want in time.

Mark stays quiet for a moment before answering, "Get a job, get payed as much as you can and whatever you need left to get the house, I will pitch in"

"Mark you don't have to do that" Evan said and mark shakes his head, "No i want to, it's a gift"

"That's all you've been giving me though! Just gifts!"

"And you owe me nothing for them" Mark said and Evan shakes his head, "I have to owe you something" Evan pushes but mark shakes his head once again. "Belive me, you bringing me back to this type of things makes me happy, I feel like I still have it in me even though I'm happy with my life" mark smiles at evan, "friendship is enough"

Evan smiles back at Mark and he thanks him once again, "bless you're soul Mark".

Thank God he found someone so understanding over his passion. He doesn't feel so alone anymore (Friend wise)

-29 days left before he graduates.

Evan was really getting his shit kicked in with homework and test. He feels a  burden and he is ready to flip the bird to this shitty ass school once his out of it.

He felt so tired, he wakes up really early to get to school, eats and at 5 he goes to his new job at a restaurant down the block by his house to work from 5 to 1 in the morning. After he gets home he showers and does his homework and finishes around 3 to 4. He goes to bed sleeps and wakes up again at 6:30.

It was hell, he hated his life so bad at this point but he was so close, he won't give up now.

"Evan? Evan? Evan? Evan? EVAN!"

Evan shoots up from his desk and growls, "Who the fu- oh hi Jonathan" he says sweetly.

Jonathan huffs, "I've been calling you for 5 minutes already! What's going on with you?"

Evan shrugged, "Im just very tired, finals are coming up at the end of the month and I'm not ready" he says and Jonathan frowns, "I've noticed does dark circles in your eyes too. I assume you haven't eaten in a while either?"

Evan nods.

Jonathan brings out his lunch box and takes out two plates full of food. "Um I made this for you, since you aren't eating I wanted to make you something- just so you don't get sick on the long run"

Evan stares at his lunch and smiles, bubbles of happiness bursting in his chest, "you made this for me?"

"Yes" Jonathan nods while blushing. "Thank you" Evan said before taking the spoon and eating what he had made.

He moans and takes more bites out of the food, "this is so good!"

Jonathan smiles and eats for himself, "Im glad you like it"

"Ugh....marrymeplease" Evan said and jonathan laughs, "what did you say? I couldn't understand you"

"That this is really fuckin good"

"Ah, hahaha! Thank you"
