Chapter 28Two nights later
There was an incessant nervousness in this impulsive solace we both shared.
Rocco agreed to meet Jay in the community park, down the street from the elementary school they both attended many years ago.
He swung lazily, dragging his feet across a heavily worn patch of dirt beneath him. It was soon, he imagined, to tell Jay of the problems plaguing him at home, with his strange parents, and the scads of one-night hook ups.
He had texted Jay to meet him in the park at eight, just as it was getting dark. He told him not to be late: I’ve got to get back home before my parents know I’m gone.
Often feeling and thinking like a blind person, Rocco navigated his life with blinders, unaware of his surroundings and the people he thought he knew.
Unrecognizable.
