Chris Pov

After an awkward dinner, I took Ricky back to my room so we could talk. He kept flinching away from me when I tried to hug him or even hold his hand.
"Ricky what's wrong?" I said as he sat down in the corner of my room.
"I don't even know. I don't want to talk about it." He whispered.
"Ricky...." I started as I squatted down in front of him.
"I don't want to talk about it." He said as he rubbed his eyes and tilted his head down.
"Okay." I said quietly before i retreated to my bed. Ricky looked up at me. He got on his hands and knees and crawled over to me.
"Can i...?" He whispered. I nodded my head and raised my arm so he could come in closer. He laid down, practically on top of me. His head was on my shoulder and he had one leg over my lap. One arm was across my chest and holding onto me tight. My left arm was around his neck and my right hand was on his left wrist.

Ricky was asleep on my side and purring like a kitten. He was rubbing his head into my shoulder. He was so cute. I didn't want to have to wake him up.
"Ricky. Ricky. Babe." I said as I rubbed his thigh lightly. He groaned and rolled his whole body against me.
"Mehhh can I go back to sleep." He said with a rough gravely voice.
"No you have school tomorrow and you need to get some actual sleep. Text my mom and she will come pick you up." I said as he sat up.
"Fine. I think Jeremy has my phone." He mummbled. He stood up and took my hand to help me up.

We found Jeremy asleep at his desk.
"Hey Jeremy." Ricky whispered as he shook his shoulder carefully.
"What." He groaned as he sat up.
"I just need my phone so Chris's mom can pick me up. I need to sleep for school tomorrow. You should get some sleep too though...." Ricky said as he backed away from the slightly annoyed adult.
"I know. Sorry for falling asleep. Here's your phone though." He said as he grabbed the object out of a drawer. Ricky was typing quickly as Jeremy rubbed his face and grabbed a bottle of water. Ricky's phone vibrated and he sighed as he looked at the text.
"Your mom's too busy with Ghost right now. My mom is still working." He sighed. As he slouched into a seat.
"Want me to drive you home?" Jeremy asked as he finished half the bottle of water.
"That would be great dude." Ricky said with a yawn.
"Okay, I just have to let my boss know that I'm going home for the night." Jeremy said as he stood up, wobbling with each step.

Since Jeremy wasn't around to tell us no, ricky moved into my lap and was attacking me with his lips.
"Okay then." Jeremy scoffed as he re-entered the room.
"Oh uh sorry." Ricky stuttered as he scooted off my lap.
"It's fine. We can go now if your ready..." Jeremy said as he grabbed a back pack from behind his desk.
"Uh yeah I'm good." Ricky said as he leaned against the desk.
"Okay well say your goodnights and meet me at the elevator." Jeremy said before leaving the office.

"Chris I'll be back in a few days to pick you up...but for now" Ricky said before he popped up onto his tippy toes and kissed me. It was short and sweet.
"I'll miss you. Let everyone know that I'll be back soon and that I miss them. Okay?" I said as I looked him in the eye. He nodded in response and scurried out of the room. I leaned back against the desk and sighed. I felt like I should break our into some Grease song and start dancing. That would be tragic. I quickly left the office and walked to the lounge.

Eli was asleep in Frank's arms as he watched Coraline. Frank looked like he was about to fall asleep too. Good thing I'm stronger than batman. I lifted Eli out of his arms and he looked up.
"Hop on my back. I'll bring you to your room" I said quietly, trying to not wake up Eli. He nodded and climbed onto me like a tree. I carried both of them to Eli's room and placed her on the bed. Frank slid down my back and crawled in next to her.
"Thanks. Night Chris." He murmured before adjusting his position one last time.

I walked around the halls for a few hours until I felt tired. I had no one to talk to and I wasn't in the mood to watch a movie. No therapists told me to go back to my room so I walked until I was lost. This under ground hallway labrinth of the insane was bigger than I thought. There was a boy sitting on the ground outside a door with his head down.
"Excuse me" I asked quietly. His head sprung up and what I saw scared me. His eyes were all white except for his pupils. He looked pale and thin. He almost looked like me. He raised the area where his eyebrows would be and I remembered.
"Uh sorry. I'm just lost. Could you show me back to the dining room." I stuttered. He nodded his head and stood up. He was slightly shorter than me, but not by much.
"So what's your name?" I asked as we began to walk. He stopped in his tracks and turned to me. He pulled a pen out of his pocket and took my hand. He looked for a blank space to write and I saw him smile slightly. He wrote in all caps, yet very small 'MIKE COSTANZA' he nodded his head again and kept walking.
"So Mike are you mute...?" I asked quietly, not knowing whether he would answer such a personal question. He turned back to me and nodded his head. He paused and took my hand again. He wrote 'CALL ME KUZA' in the same font.
"Okay." I murmured as we continued to walk. Soon the entrance to the dining room was visable.
"Thanks for bringing me back here. Meet me in the lounge after breakfast?" I said as a question instead of a statement. He took my hand again and wrote 'IM NOT ALLOWED TO TEXT ME OR VISIT MY ROOM' and underneath was his number. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and held it up. He smiled quickly and then hugged me. He let go and quickly walked away in the direction he came.

Ooh shit now Kuza is in this story. Damn none of you know what's going to happen but I do and it's eating me alive that none of you know. Hmmm maybe I'll just update really soon. Mama destroya signing off.
