Chapter 34

  My eyes scan the park, but I know that I won’t find him here. It’s much to early and the chances that he will be here before the sun sets isn’t great at all, yet I go and sit on Dumbledore’s bench, waiting patiently, trying to run through the last twenty-four hours in my head. I have helped someone who might become a friend. I think I have truly lost a good friend. And on top of it all I have given my first actual blowjob and I kinda enjoyed it. Sure, it’s not like I got anything in return, but that wasn’t the idea at all. I wanted to make Patrick happy. I wanted to be in control. And for once I was.

  The phone vibrating in my pocket takes my mind away from my crotch that seems to be tenting against my shorts.

  “Mom?” I answer.

  “Cory? Where are you?” she asks. She doesn’t sound good at all.
