"Come on, Milo You know you’ll always be a part of my life" Before I had met Jack, I would’ve said that with a 100 certainty Milo wasthat could change that

At least that’s what I thought until Jack had half-warned/half-pro to change There ht be somewhere that I went that Milo couldn’t follow As ht of life without Jack and Peter sounded worse

"Whatever you say," Milo replied, and he was co to show on my face, that I already had one foot out the door

I considered arguing with hi, and we both felt it I didn’t want to lie to Milo, so we sat in silence, watching the TV I expected hio in another roo absence, but he stayed out there withtone, my heart skipped a beat and I jumped at it, but Milo just rolled his eyes

When do you wanna hang out? Jack texted me

As soon as possible

You knohat I think would be fun? Why don’t you bring Milo with? Jacke would definitely satiate uilt, but it would also mean even less alone time with Jack where I could drill hiured out what they wanted with me, let alone what they could possibly ith Milo But he would like them, especially Mae

Finally, I decided that there was only one way to make a decision

"Milo, do you wanna coht?" I tried hard not to sound reluctant about asking hi to

"What do you mean?" His eyes lit up and his voice raised an octave, but he wanted to reed to it

"Just go over to Jack’s house and hang out He has Guitar Hero and stuff " That would be an added bonus for Jack He’d have soet irritated by it or totally suck at it

"Do you really want ly at him

"Yeah, of course I do" I wanted to be around him, but I wasn’t sure that this was the best idea

But it was the best idea I could co bad had happened to me when I’d been with Jack In fact, he’d savedto worry about So as I worried?

"Then okay Yeah That’d be great" Milo jue his clothes He still had that crush on Jack to contend with, and I’et all about it once heus up? I replied to Jack
