Oh, God, I was in hell. What had I been thinking?
Wayne and I had been practically inseparable since Halloween, spending many evenings in each other’s company, whether it was at my apartment, or his. If it was Wayne’s place, then Marco came with me, toting his homework. At least, my brother seemed to be focused enough that I wasn’t too worried about him ditching school anymore.
Hanging out with my new best friend was both torture and ecstasy. He was beautiful, from every angle, inside and out, and I would do anything to make him happy. That probably wasn’t healthy, but I had fallen hard and fast, with the blessing of my sibling and his. Only, Wayne was simply interested in friendship, and nothing else, as far as I could tell.
I’d met some of his friends, one or two who had been at that
