          This is not the man I hoped to be
          And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding
          I don't know how to word it
          I just started to deserve it
          And all my, all my faces are alibis
          And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be

                                                      Derek's jaw dropped and he burst out laughing. He couldn't stop. It was just to priceless. He buried his face into the blanket, his shoulders shaking a lot. He couldn't believe it. He pulled away from the blanket after he calmed down from laughing which took his several minutes. He wiped away a tear with his hand and a grin appeared on his face, as though he was going to start laughing again. "They sent you here because you were trying to pop your cherry?" He rolled his eyes and smirked. "Tell me what you plan on doing next time, I'll run interference for you." He smiled, still couldn't believe it. "You sixteen! What's the rush of having sex?" He said more to himself then to Josh.

                                                      He rolled his eyes and pouted he was hoping that he wouldn't have to take the cot but he had offered to do it. He sighed softly and rested his cheek on the bed. "Yeah, I know there will be." He frowned. "Do you want me to go grab your stuff? I don't mind and that way I can go ask if I can move you in here." He smiled. For the first time since his brother arrived his mind drifted to Riley and pain etched his face. He glupped and shook his head. He became quiet and didn't know what to say.

                                                      "You better tell me when you can't breath otherwise, I will kick your a**." He smiled at Josh and closed his eyes. He only opened them when Josh said Ry, he looked over at Riley and gave a weak smile. "Y-Yeah, that's okay he wants to know he can ask." He said he wasn't about to make an a** of himself again. He cupped the back of Josh's neck when he leaned against him. The worry was coming back. He closed his eyes and sighed softly.

Get it back, get it back, get it back now
Right now and leave it all far behind
Get it back, get it back, losing track now
Lights out, it's the only way we're gonna survive
The thrill is gone we need a change
Don't hide, don't sugarcoat the pain

Riley Andrew Thompson


Riley smiled when Jake said yes to being shown around. He just wanted to get the hell out of the cabin. He had not expected to find his ex here, had not wanted to find him here. Riley had been doing so good at staying away from him, which had been hard considering how hard Derek tried to talk to him. He had almost changed his number. Maybe he was just being an a**. A good person wouldn't throw two years down the drain just because of one thing. Riley guessed he must not be a good person.

His eyes widened at Derek's words. His first reaction to it was anger. Why shouldn't he make him feel like scum? He had gone and broken Riley's heart by getting drunk and sleeping with someone else. How was that not scum? Riley had every right to be mad at Derek but when Derek put it like that it just made him feel like an a**. Like he was the bad one for being mad at Derek, like he should forgive him. Maybe he should have. The fact was though that Riley was mad and maybe that did make him an a** in the end.

Derek's next words made Riley flinch. They hurt more then anything. Accusing him of moving on so fast. Like the last two years meant nothing to him. Of course they meant something to him! They meant everything to him. He wanted nothing more then to just go back to the way thing had been but he doubted that would ever happen now. How could he trust Derek not to get drunk and do it again? Trust was a big thing for Riley. It was hard for him to really trust people, to let someone know him entirely. He had trusted Derek that way and he'd gone and broken it, smashed it. And no matter how much he still loved Derek he didn't want to go back because he didn't want to get hurt again.

He flinched at the slammed door and stared at it for a few minutes after, like he could just see Derek walking away through the door. It took him a moment to focus back on the other people in the room. Jake, and the other kid now there who was apparently Jake's brother. Although in Riley's opinion he looked very much like a sister. He shook his head softly and ran a hand through his hair. "It's, uh, nice to meet you Alexis. I'm Riley and the guy who just stormed out was Derek," he said softly.

He looked at them, feeling very awkward right now. He knew that he had offered to show Jake around and all but after what had just happened he would much rather be alone. He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "I'm sorry about that... You really don't need to get dragged into the middle of our issues but you probably will be. Derek is my ex if you didn't gather that already," he explained. He rubbed his hand over his face roughly, already wanting this summer to be over. He looked up at them after, "So do you still want the tour? You can come too Alexis. I can't promise I'll be the best of company, at least right now, but I'll do my best."

Before anything else could really happen though Derek was back and with his little brother with him. Riley just kind of watched in silence as Derek helped his brother. He knew that Derek's brother had a breathing problem, Derek was always telling him how much he worried about him. It was easy to see how much Derek cared for his brother just by watching them. It just made Riley feel even worse though because Derek really was such a great guy.

He was surprised by Josh's words, especially calling him Ry. As far as Riley had been concerned he was sure that Josh had hated him. At least he had been sure the kid had told him that. He shook his head though, didn't really matter anymore anyways. He stayed silent though not really knowing what to say. He was about to ask if Derek wanted any help or anything, getting him brothers stuff or any of the other things, wanting to help the brothers out, but then Josh said something about him probably wondering why Josh was there and Derek's only response was that if he wanted to know he could ask. It was so strange to him because normally Derek would have just explained without even thinking about, just assuming Riley would want to know. He guessed things really were different now. In response he just shrugged and looked down. He knew Derek would probably just think he was being an a**, he guessed it was true. Maybe he really was an a**. He ran a hand through his hair, all he wanted was to just get the hell away from there.

                              ~{J} o s h {M}ichael {L} a n c i n g~

                              ...isn't such a bad thing.


                                          Josh bit his bottom lip hard. He was hoping to avoid the why part. He was still trying to convince himself it was a fluke and he had been sick or something. He had been trying to prove to himself that he was still straight. Josh wanted to talk to Derek about it and dropped his gaze, staring down at the floor intently. He grabbed his inhaler and took as deep a breath as he could manage before composing himself. He gathered the courage and looked Derek in the eyes. Josh took a deep breath before he spoke. "It's not funny Derek. How did you know you were gay? I mean, the first time you found out?"Josh asked softly, turning his face away, his breathing hitching up again. He grabbed the bottle of water and took a slow sip of it, trying to slow his breathing down. He saw spots for a moment and told himself to relax and just take as deep of breaths of air as he could manage and not faint.

                                          Josh waved at Riley and smiled softly. He hoped his brother got over whatever was going on with he and Riley soon. The two were a good couple and they were both very sweet people. Josh struggled in a sharp breath before he coughed again. His breaths quickened for a moment and slowed down before repeating. Josh swore weakly, knowing he was hyperventilating. He pressed his inhaler to his lips and breathed deeply from it again. "I'll sleep on the cot instead, kay? We can gr-grab it later. My chest really, really hurts,"he wheezed weakly, tears brimming in his eyes. He dizzily shut them and struggled in a breath before coughing.

                                          Josh grimmaced, hoping he could keep the panic/asthma attack from getting worse. "You can t-tell him. Just talk to calm me down too though. I h-hate asthma,"Josh said, struggling for another breath. He rubbed his tight chest and winced, letting his brother rub his back. He coughed harshly to try and open his lungs up a little more. He was shaking again, making the matress shake slightly also. "G-get my stronger inhaler please. It's the white one,"he wheezed weakly between gasps and coughs. Josh struggled in a breath before moving his head from Dereks shoulder to bury into his chest. He did that only when he knew he was freaking out beyond all reason at not being able to breathe and couldn't calm down. Josh remembered Riley had helped with his attacks in the past but he didn't know if he'd help because of him and Dereks fight.

I began to run towards that one big dream
Because my good friends were with me, I did my best
Even if there's a high wall in our way, we're not stopping
We'll break it down and go on towards our dream



Tyler ignored the constant yapping of his Mother as they drove down the road in her Blue Trail Blazer. He had found himself taken over by the Nintendo DSi that he held in his hand, playing Animal Crossing. Sure it was a game many people would consider to be out of his Age range, but it was too damn interesting for him to put down. He had probably packed about all of his life in his luggage, most of it being things like his iPod and all that other good stuff he had hidden amongst his clothes from his Parents who were determined to have their sun go a whole Summer without his precious Technology.

They were insane if they were going to try and do that to him.

The camp was about a two hour drive from his house, a big divide between Tyler and his sacred Computer and Internet. But thankfully he had also smuggled out the 10" Laptop his parents had gotten him for last Christmas. He just hoped the camp had internet. He parents liked this of course, that their son would be this far away from home, out in the woods, having 'fun' with other boys his age as they put it. Of corse, the night his parents told him about the camp he did a full-out research on the place and decided that, if he took his things with him, he would actually kind of like the place.

The car came to a stop as Tyler had been reviewing over his thoughts and unconciously driving his personon Animal Crossing around town following a balloon in the air with a sling-shot. What had brought him out of his mind though was his Mother's hand reaching over to try and take the DSi from his hands. Somewhat in a childish way, Tyler let out a whine and stuck out his tongue before he shutdown the DSi and shoved it into his backpack that had been lodged between his feet in the floor board. His mother let out a sigh as he got out of the car and walked around to take his things out of the trunk. She didn't say a word more as he lifted up his luggage, and popped out rollers on the bottom of the main one that held his precious things in it and rolled away towards the camp.



Live well, young men
You're not alone, so muster your courage

-----------------------------------I really don't like to.
-----------------------------------Lying just really isn't my thing.
-----------------------------------But when it's all I can do...




                                              Jake swore he could hear the sounds of Derek's heart hitting the floor in the form of little peices. Wincing ever so slightly when Derek started speaking to them, though it was probably more towards Riley, Jake turned his head towards Derek only to find himself wincing again when the dark brown haired man started spouting off things about them flirting. Despite his appearance Jake was rather empathetic, thus was fairly easy to see that Riley probably didn't need to hear any of the things coming out of Derek's mouth. When the male finally left, rather violently at that, Jake seemed to finally realize that his brother was there with them.

                                              'Ah ********. If he heard all that...' he thought, turning his head to his younger brother. "H-hey Alex..." his voice was low from the previous words and even he was hurt somewhat by them. Being accused of flirting with someone in that manner really did take an effect on people.

                                              Hearing Riley's voice, Jake tuned back into reality after having spaced for a few minutes. "H-Huh? No... I completely understand. I probably should've seen it myself. It was kind of obvious..." he spoke, scratching the back of his head lightly as he did so. Shaking his head lightly at the next query, Jake attempted a grin. "We can just do that some other time, but thanks for offering in the first place Riley." he answered, opening his mouth to say something else only to have Derek walk through the door again.

                                              Frowning lightly at the man's reappearance, Jake mentally cursed when he brought another boy in. He had to resist the urge to glare at the other councilor when he started speaking to, from what he could gather from the words, was his brother. 'I am so going to talk to him later.' he thought, a small frown marring his features. Sighing lightly as he went to sit on his bed, Jake simply laid back and stared at the ceiling. Despite being accused of flirting in such a way that it actually hurt due to it's scathing nature, Jake actually had to admit that he probably would have attempted to flirt if given the chance. 'Ah ********]'





-----------------------------------------------------------------------'Sides, I'll come out eventually.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------I'll just do it on my own time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------And preferably they won't mind.

              Chie sighed softly once again as he reached the cabins. Someone had already gotten into the coucilor cabin, and he moved to the opposite end of the cabin, not really wanting to talk to anyone as of yet. He found a bed and dropped his belongings onto the floor next to the foot of the frame. Instantly afterward, he plopped right down onto the bed, staring up at the ceiling for a bit. There was a ceiling fan, but to Chie it looked rather moldy and dusty.

              Why did my parents think that summer camp would be the best place to send me to stop feeling depressed? Usually everyone seems to know one another at camp, which means I'm left out, which means more depression...seriously, I doubt I'm going to survive this day... he started to think. He reached up the arm that had the bandages, blocking out the ceiling fan with his upward palm. He rubbed the bandages once again, wincing as he felt the pressure get to his stitches.

              He dropped his arm down, closing his light blue eyes behind his soft and gentle eyelids. I don't fancy myself living long anyway...I'm just an insignificant creature on the face of this planet... he thought, thinking depressing thoughts once again...

                                                      Derek blushed when his brother said it wasn't funny. "Sorry." He mumbled softly. He hadn't meant to upset his brother or anything it was just that he remembered getting caught by their dad with Riley and it hadn't been as bad though. It might have been because well he couldn't get Riley pregnant and they had been about 20 also at the time. The next part of what Josh said made his eyes widened. "Eh? How'd I know I was gay?" He shrugged. "I don't know I just always new I liked guys more then I liked girls. I mean it's like asking someone how they know they are straight." He frowned slightly as he thought. "Why do you ask?"

                                                      He felt a stab of pain when Josh waved at Riley. He didn't know why they weren't together anymore, he just thought they were having a fight or something. Why now? Why did he have to grow out of his hatred for Riley now? He smiled and shook his head. "Josh, don't be dumb. The cot isn't the best place for you to sleep. You'll be on the bed okay?" He smiled which turned into a frown when he started to wheeze again. "Deep breaths, kiddo. Deep breaths."

                                                      "It's fine, Josh. I can tell Riley later okay?" He said rubbing his brother's back. "Right now we just need you to be breathing better." He grabbed the bag when his brother asked him to get the white inhaler. He rummaged through the bag and pulled out the white inhaler. He shook it for his brother then held it out to him. He wrapped an arm around him and frowned. He never told his brother but he was the reason he wanted to get into research and development in medicine. He wanted to find something that would help his brother's asthma attacks and everyone else who suffered like him. The only one he ever actually told that dream to was Riley but then again Riley knew almost all of his secrets.

                                                      He looked over at Riley, Jake and... A girl. He didn't say anything about it, he needed to get what he wanted to say out of the way. "I just wanted to say sorry for my actions earlier and my words. It was childish of me and I'm sorry." He said, he looked back over at his brother in concern. He hoped his apology wouldn't fall on deaf ears but if it did that was fine. His priorities changed. First it was to forget Riley, then it was to win him back now it was just trying to get his brother to survive the summer.

Riley Andrew Thompson


Riley listened quietly to the conversation between the brothers. He couldn't help bit be worried for Josh, he had seen this before more then once and he knew how bad it could get. He also knew how worried Derek got for his brother. He knew what to do to help but there had never been many times when he actually had. Josh hadn't really liked him much before, which was understandable and so Riley had kept his distance and now with everything with him and Derek it really wasn't his place anymore. He knew Derek knew what he was doing, it was obvious in watching him.

He nodded at Derek's apology and just shrugged, "It's fine." He was still hurt by what he had said but if he believed that he was just going to go and forget him so fast then he could go and think that. It wasn't like that would ever happen but if he wanted to think that then he could. Riley didn't really feel like correcting him at the moment.

He sighed and looked around the rather crowded room. There was really too many people in the little cabin right now, it couldn't be helping Josh at all. He thought about being an a** and telling everyone who didn't need to be there to get out but he decided that he would just get out instead. He grabbed his sunglasses from his bag and headed for the door, stopping by Josh and Derek for a second. He smiled at Josh, "I hope you feel better okay? Try and calm down and get some rest, got it?" he said before heading out of the door.

He heard the door close behind him and he quickly started walking away from the cabin. He didn't want to deal with this anymore. Any of it, he didn't want to deal with Derek or this camp anymore. But there was no way out now, he was here for the whole damn summer.

He made his way to the beach and then walked along it until he found the little rocky kind of cove that was one of his favorite places. It was also one that only he and Derek knew about. He flopped down to the ground and stared out at the water, happy with the fact that the only person who could find him was Derek and that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.

                                          Josh sucked in a sharp breath before wheezing. He was going to have to answer his brothers question as soon as he could breath properly. He didn't take the inhaler when it was held out to him, his hands were too shaky so he just placed his lips around the mouthpiece and let his brother give him the puff of medicine. He was just shaky and unable to stop just yet. Josh grabbed the blanket Derek had been laughing into earlier and wrapped himself in it. He took another breath from the inhaler before closing his eyes slightly. He sucked in a sharp breath before coughing roughly into Dereks chest again. "The reason I asked is because.... I think I might be...,"Josh trailed off, not being able to get himself to say the word with reference to himself. He dropped his gaze, taking in a struggled breath before coughing. He nodded weakly when Derek said that he would sleep on the bed, not having the breath to argue.

                                          Josh hoped Riley would forgive his brother at least. He curled up to Derek quickly, his body shaking still. His breaths were congested and struggled as he listened to his brothers breathing. Josh hoped the medicine would help him out. He didn't want his health going downhill anymore than it already seemed to be. Josh closed his eyes and wheezed weakly. He struggled in another slow, ragged breath. "I h-hate this. I c-can't breathe properly anymore lately,"he wheezed softly into his brothers chest. He coughed weakly into his t-shirt and wheezed in another sharp breath of his brothers scent.

                                          Josh clutched his t-shirt as he tried to take another slow breath. "What else can we try to make this attack calm down? I'm sc-scared,"Josh mumbled softly. He looked at Riley with wide eyes, hoping he would help out. He let out a stressed wheeze, his forhead breaking out in a cool sweat. He took a quick breath as he gripped the inhaler tightly in his fist, his knuckles turning white when Riley left the room. "It's n-not w-working,"he wheezed, panic shining in his blue eyes. Josh felt more panic creep up as soon as Riley had left the room, he and his brother had been the only two things keeping him calm and now that one was gone, he couldn't help but panic and wheeze for more air. He gave Derek a look that screamed HELP ME BREATHE. Josh closed his eyes, trying to calm down like Riley had said right before he left.

As soon as Tyler's Mom drove away, tyler rushed towards his cabin and popped his head into the door. He observed the room carefully, taking in every detail before he slid his body and belongings into the room. To him it looked like their were already campers there, so he took up the bed in the corner away from the windows and the other beds. He really liked the beds stup anyways. He would be able to play on the Computer with the glare from the window, and he could easily stow his stuff away under the bed and into the dark corner if needed.

With a soft tune of humming he wlaked over to the bed and swung his luggage up onto the empty mattress. It was usually out of nature for him to unpack his things, but out of bordom and just wanting to get his things in safe place he began unpacking his things. He put his clothes and cany hoard in the dresser next to the bed, his laptop and such in a black case under the bed, all his other things on top of the dresser, and his black comforter on the bed along with the Skeli-Animal plushie he had gotten from a friend as a farewell gift.

Satisfied with his progress, he sat down on the bed and stared aorund the room. It seemed plain to him. It needed posters and paint everywhere, but he guessed the Counselors and all those Superior People of the Camp wouldn't allow that. "Oh well..." Tyler breathed out as he got up and walked outside, sliding his Headphones over his head as he flipped on his iPod and walked towards the forest. "When out in the woods, have fun I guess...Maybe I should get everyone back home a Pine Cone and we can name them things like 'Charlie' or 'Pupper-Knog Jr.'. That's sounds a bit interesting...Or maybe a rock...." He rambled on to himself as he slid into the trees and began his journey in the Rural jungle of Pine Trees and Lake Monsters.

    Alexis gave his brother a confused look. He wondered what was wrong with him. He did hear what one of the counselors and said to the other one, but it wasn’t like he took it seriously. He figured it was just some lover’s quarrel. He’s had some of those with his ex before, then everything went back to normal…But it seemed like this one that was being displayed in front of him was…more…serious? If that would be the word. It seems like the two were not together anymore, and Jake was just being accused of flirting since he was talking to one of them. He didn’t know. He had just gotten in the cabin. He kind of hated being left out of things, but this wasn’t his business at all, and he understood that. At least it was good to know he wasn’t the only boy who was into guys at the camp. Probably the only one who was into wearing girl clothing and wearing makeup, though. That was okay with him.

    He watched as one of the counselors stalked right on by him, only saying ‘sorry’ before leaving. Well…that was…an awkward moment for him. But he did come in…bad time? He didn’t like seeing things like this. It broke his own heart when he saw couples having huge fights. It just reminded him of his own heartbreak. But it was time to move on, and he was certainly looking. And he just might find someone in this camp. Hopefully. At least he hoped to make friends instead of hanging out with his brother the whole time. Not that it would be boring, but he was sure that Jake wouldn’t want his little brother hanging around him the whole time. Alexis could understand that…After all, he was just his little brother…nothing really all that special. Not like a girlfriend or a boyfriend.

    He looked at the one that introduced himself as Riley and soon learned the one who rushed out was named Derek. “Its nice to meet you, too,” he said with a smile. And he listened as Riley went on. He felt like he was addressing Jake more than him, so he just kept quiet. After all, he really didn’t know what was going on. “Oh! I just looked around, but at tour would be nice!” And then his brother had to go and spoil it. He wanted a tour with the hot counselor! He sighed a bit and looked up at his brother, shaking his head a bit. “You should probably figure out where everything is. You know, campers are gonna ask you, and you won’t now at all.” Then the door opened again, and he looked toward it, seeing Derek and some other kid come through it. He watched them, noticing that the one kid that Derek was calling ’Josh’ was having some kind of asthma attack, it seemed. Alexis didn’t have asthma, so he couldn’t even imagine how it would be to have it…

    When Derek was actually addressing them, he smiled and shook his head. “Its alright, really,” he said to him with a smile. He then looked at Josh again before watching Riley leave the room. With a smile, he went over to Josh. “Maybe if you tried sitting in a different position,” he said to him. “Here…” He grabbed a desk chair and pulled it over to the bed. “Straddle it, and put your elbows on the back of it. I read somewhere that this might help…”


I'm giving you everything all that joy can bring this I swear

          This is not the man I hoped to be
          And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding
          I don't know how to word it
          I just started to deserve it
          And all my, all my faces are alibis
          And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be

                                                      He watched Josh wrap himself up in a blanket and he smiled sadly. If it kept going like this they were going to have to go to the hospital. His eyes widened when he heard his brother's words. "You might be what? Gay?" He couldn't help but smile. "Really?" He was very surprised, really really surprised. He shook his head. How long had he known? Was that why he wanted to have sex with his girlfriend? He rubbed his face and shook the thoughts from his head. This wasn't something he should be think about not with the state his brother was in.

                                                      When he curled up near him, Derek wrapped his arm around him and stroked his back. He wish he could do something anything to help him. He closed his eyes and kissed the top of his head. "I know kiddo, I know." He wished that he could figure something out to cure him. He wished that he could make his brother breath again.

                                                      "We could go down to the lake and try that swimming thing." He suggested it was the only thing he could think of. He didn't want to admit it to Josh but he was scared too. A pained expression flashed across his face, when he saw the panic in Josh's eyes. "Josh!" He stared into the boy's eyes and cupped his face. "Listen to my voice, only my voice. You will be fine, you just need to calm down and think of home, you're sitting on your bed playing your guitar, Merlin's sitting right next to you. You are breathing easy as you play. You can hear Merlin purring like he always does when you play."

                                                      He hoped that would help calm him down. He looked over at Alexis and smiled, thankful for the help. He looked over at Josh and smiled. "Let's try that and if that doesn't work. I'm taking you to the hospital okay?" He looked frowned slightly to himself, he really wish that Riley hadn't left but he understood why he had.

              Chie blinked, bored already from staying on his bed. He went and got up, exiting the cabins. He saw that there was a lake nearby, and he smiled slightly. He liked swimming...not a lot of swimming...but just enough. He got to the lake, taking his jacket and shirt off, along with his shoes and socks. He empited his pockets as well, and then he quickly dove into the water. His hair became drenched and the black locks clung to his head as he rose out of the water. The beads of moisture stuck to his toned and softly sculpted chest, making his skin glisten as he walked.

              He started to swim for a bit, looking graceful as he moved back and forth, his taught muscles moving underneath his soft skin on his back. Soon enough, though, he started to finish up with his swim, rising out of the water now. He took a deep breath, looking at the bandage. It was soaked, of course. He sighed, taking the bandage off. He walked toward his belongs that he left on the ground, seeing that he had taken bandages out of his pockets. He rolled up the wet one, placing it into his drenched pocket. He dried his arm off and then put the dry bandages over his stitches.

              What am I supposed to do here? I don't have the first idea of what to do...I don't know how to be a counselor... he thought, growling slightly at the idea that he was supposed to behave and be nice and all...


// is anyone noticing him? Just wondering... //

-----------------------------------I really don't like to.
-----------------------------------Lying just really isn't my thing.
-----------------------------------But when it's all I can do...




                                              Simply watching the events unfold, Jake couldn't help but frown. 'Asthma? And he's at a camp?' he thought questioningly, the frown getting a bit deeper. Shaking his head lightly as his brother spoke to him, he raised an eyebrow lightly at the comments. "Alex, I can just ask him for a tour later. Give him some space." he mumbled while laying back on his bed having gotten to a sitting position when the Asthma had gotten particularly bad. When Derek approached them, Jake simply gave the male a blank stare. "I won't lie and say it's fine, Derek." he spoke, before turning his head to see Riley walk out the door. Frowning once again; Jake stood as Alex started helping the boy with Asthma, Josh was his name from what he heard, and he to turned to the doorway. "I'll be back, getting the rest of my crap outta the car." he said, raising a hand as he walked out the door in a mild wave. "That and I'll try and find something to help." despite the words, Jake still sounded a bit miffed at Derek's previous words.

                                              Walking outside, which was sunny and completely opposite to his mood, Jake sighed as he walked around to his car and popped the trunk. "Ugh. This might not be as good of a summer as I thought." he mumbled, grabbing his iPhone and various other electronics along with a suitcase that had clothes inside. The backpack he had thrown under his bed was full of camp-ish stuff rather than actual clothes.

                                              [ooc] Short-ish. Not as long as I would want.
                                              I feel like s**t. Dx [/ooc]




-----------------------------------------------------------------------'Sides, I'll come out eventually.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------I'll just do it on my own time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------And preferably they won't mind.

                              Sometimes being different...

                              ~{J} o s h {M}ichael {L} a n c i n g~

                              ...isn't such a bad thing.


                                          Josh nodded gently, taking slow, deep breaths. He was relaxing a little more with his brothers words. He sat on the chair backwards, propping his arms up on the back of the chair before setting his head on his arms. He took another slow, easy breath, relief washing over him as the calm came. Josh curled up more into the blanket, listening to the soft voice. He handed Derek the inhaler with a shaky hand, slowing his wheezes down. He sat up slowly and smiled to himself. "Thanks. That helped alot more than I thought it would. And yeah, I might be that,"Josh said softly with a small blush. He sat back onto the bed with a soft thump. He cuddled up to Derek, his breathing slow and even, though still wheezy.

                                          Josh took a deep breath of air and smiled slightly. He was tired now and knew he needed to relax and keep off another attack that was bound to happen later. His breaths sholders still shook slightly, but that was to be expected from the medicine. Josh usually wasn't a cuddly person unless he didn't feel well. He laid his head against Dereks chest, yawning softly, his blue eyes bleary. Josh bit his bottom lip gently. "Maybe you should go talk to Ry. You two need to have a good heart to heart and apologize for whatever stupid thing happened. You'll work it out. You always do with people,"he wheezed softly into his brothers chest. He coughed slightly but sighed in contempt.

                                          Josh was perfectly at ease in his brothers arms, he felt safe and calm. "I realized I didn't like girls a few weeks ago at a party where I was dared to kiss a guy alright? I liked it and it just ruined any feelings I previously held for my girlfriend,"Josh mumbled softly. He coughed again and wheezed. He let out a soft yawn, his sweaty hair matted and messy. He curled up on his side, taking a deep breath. "I'm tired. Can you just let me sleep off this attack while you fix things with Riley? I'll text you if I can't breathe, kay?"he wheezed, with a smile. Josh pulled the blanket up to his chin as his eyelids fluttered closed softly. He was using Derek as a pillow, his breath wheezing softly through his mouth. Josh hugged his brother tightly, coughing a few times before taking a wheezy breath and sighing.

                                          ((This is my last post for today. I live on the east coast of the US, night y'all. I'll post again after school tomorrow. Don't get too far ahead please. Thanks y'all!!!!))
