We stop by Walmart to get a few things. Like Energy drinks, Eyeliner for Pete, and "Joe's" night light. Pete and Andy go one way and Joe and I go another. We walk to the housing department and look at the night lights. Joe tells me I can pick one. There are heart, barbie, Dora the Explorer, Bareney and Batman ones. I pick Batman. He smiles and grabs it. we walk through the Men's section and Joe smiles.

"Hey, can you go meet with the guys? I gotta piss, I'll be in the bus."

I nod and call Pete to see where they are.

"Right behind you Foureyes!"

I turn around and see Andy and Pete. I run over to them and we get soy milk and regular milk.
In Andy's defence, Soy milk isn't that bad... if you don't taste it...

We finish and go up to the checkout. The cashier is an attractive woman.

Pete smiles back at me "DIBS!"


I roll my eyes "She's a human being, you can't call dibs on her!"

The woman smiles at me "Thanks."

Pete frowns "Damnit."

"You guys are Fall Out boy right?"

We nod.

"I knew you looked familiar." She looks over at Pete "Don't you have a girlfriend?"

He sighs "Yes but-"

"But?"

He frowns "Nothing..."

She scribbles on the reciept and hands it to me "Here ya go." She winks.

I look down and see her phone number.

"Um... thanks..."

Pete groans and pushes the buggie quickly.

Andy and I have to run to catch up with him.

"I'm sorry man but that was a burn!" Andy laughs.

Pete pouts "I can't believe you got her number!"

"What's wrong with me?" I frown.

He bites his lip "Nothing I-"

I glare at him and storm into the bus.

I get into my bunk and put on my ipod. I feel a few tears drip down my face. He was indirectly calling me fat. Some best friend!

I wipe my eyes and go down to the bus "Kitchen".

I grab potato chips, snack cakes and ice cream. I take it up to my bunk, closing the curtain so they don't see me. I quickly eat it all and chug a diet coke. I quickly run to the bathrom and put my index and middle finger down my throat. I vomit into the toilet. I rinse my mouth and open the bathroom door. Unfortunatly Joe is standing beside the door, waiting for me. I swallow hard. He grabs my hand and drags my to the back room of the bus. He frowns.

"Why?"

I look down and shrug.

He sighs and hugs me "I hate when you do that."

Anger kicks in "I hate when you take pills!"

He frowns "I deserved that..."

"I kknow!"

"What'd Pete say? I know he did because Andy's bitching at him."

I sigh "He called dibs on the cashier and I told him that was wrong. She wrote her number down and he was pissed and wondered why she gave me her number instead of him."

"Oh... that was really crappy of him..."

"Yeah..."

"So you got her number? Go Patrick! You should call her, if for nothing than to piss him off!"

I smile "I dunno..."

"Well you're single..."

"Yeah but... I don't know her and, though she was very attractive she's just... not for me."

He nods "Just don't give Pete the number."

I nod.

He smiles "Well I think I have something to cheer you up..."

"What?"

He grabs my arm and leads me to his bunk. He pulls out a black hat with Mario on it. I grin and pull him into a hug "You didn't have to!"

"But I wanted to..."

"Thanks... Please don't tell anyone I... ya know..."

"Of course not..."

"Thanks... hey Joe?"

"Yeah?"

"Why do you take pills?"

He smiles "I figured you'd ask that. They just make me feel more relaxed and calm."

"But its bad for you..."

"Yes... it is. So is throwing up after eating.... Why do you do that?"

"So I don't gain anymore weight..."

"But... it's bad for you..."

I smile "I know."

"Why not stop?"

"Why don't you stop?"

Joe grins "How about this. You stop and I'll stop. And we can help each other..."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I'll even let you flush all my pills..."

"Why quit now? Andy's begged you."

"Now, I have a reason to quit." he smiles at me.

He wrapps his arms around my waist. Our faces inch closer.

"Hey guys have you seen my- oops!" Andy giggles "My bad."

Joe pulls away slowly, blushing furious, like me.

I look up at him and frown.

Did we almost kiss?

Pete walks over to us "Why are you laughing?"

Andy just shakes his head and continues to laugh.

Pete looks over at me "Patrick I'm sorry I didn't mean it that way I..." he looks up at my bunk "Is that... food wrappers and diet coke?" his face falls "You didn't?"

I bite my lip and run to the back room and lock the door. I lay on the bed and cry onto the pillow. I hear Joe, Andy and Pete yelling. I sob harder. I begin choking on my tears and I try to calm down. I hear a soft knock on the door. I ignore it.

"Pat... it's Andy... let me in please?"

I sigh and unlock the door.

He walks in closing it.

"Did you... ya know?"

I nod.

"I'm sorry..."

I shrug and wipe my eyes.

"Pete just got punched in the nose..."

"Why?"

"He pissed Joe off. Joe doesn't like when people upset you..." Andy says with his hint voice.

"I gotta tell you something..."

"Alright..."

"Joe told me that if I try to quit, so would he. We're flushing his pills later."

Andy stares at me, mouth agape "Are you serious?"

"Yeah... that was right before you walked over to us..."

"Ok, so that's why you two were leaning in for a kiss."

"Well kinda... I asked why he hadn't quit before and he said now he has a reason to quit..."

"AWE! He totally likes you! It's so obvious Patrick OPEN YOUR EYES!"

"I have a question...."

"Alright."

"Is he... a good kisser?" I blush.

Andy giggles "Oh yes. Very good kisser. Just his kisses turned me on."

We giggle like teenage girls.

"And, he's not bad between the sheets either.."

I blush.

"i'm glad you aren't mad about me liking him."

"Why would I be mad? He and I are history. I'm happy with my fiancé - uh b-oy-boyfriend Mark." he blushes as well.

"Fiancé? You're engaged?"

He blushes "Yeah... he asked me the night before we left..."

"Awe!!"

Andy blushes "Anyways I have no problems with you and Joe being together, I swear."

"Thanks... but we aren't togather..."

"Tell him how you feel."

We hear a knock "Um... can I come in?"

"Yes Joey!" Andy yells.

He walks i holding a large bag.

He dropps it on the bed and unzips it, revealing many pill bottles.

We spend three hours flushing them.
