Subject: Johnny Boy: The Waiter and Clerk chapter 7

*A Month? It's only the twelfth. We were attacked yesterday.* The thought
just kept running through my mind. It couldn't have been that long. I tried
to sit up but was still having a bit of trouble. Everything was so...
confusing. I looked back at Tom, then I looked at the ceiling. "Wha...
when... how?" that was coherent.

"You slipped into a coma. You were in a car accident. You were pulling out
of the parking lot at Johnny's dorm, and a truck hit you. But everything's
fine now. Calm down. What happened with Johnny?" He seemed almost as
confused as I was.

"The son of a bitch didn't tell you? He cheated on me. He was with a woman
when I got there." I started to cry. This was way too much. I looked back
at Tom to see a stunned look on his face.

Well, that's what's been happening in my Life. I woke up from my Coma 3
weeks ago. I've managed to avoid the son of a bitch since then. I still
work at the book store, but sorta have to take it easy for a while. I get
headaches, but the doctor said I might for a little while. I was really
amazed that I escaped without any other serious injuries. I've come out to
all my friends, and plan to tell my family soon. If ever there was a time I
wanted to escape the world, it's right now. I still cry myself to sleep
with the image of him and her in my mind. I had my dream, to only realize
it was a nightmare.

If you ever happen to come across a photo in a magazine you can't help but
clip out of a zine, you'll know exactly what I mean when I say this.
Sometimes a person is nothing more than a picture they paint for you. When
I looked at Johnny I saw a source of strength for myself, something I
wanted to wrap myself in and just exist. But it was nothing more than his
masquerade mask.

The End For Now.

Hey everyone. Don't worry, I'm not done with the story yet. I have much
more to say about these two. But I'm not gonna be posting for a while. I'm
sorta having a huge thing happen in my life. I'm coming out. I've come out
to my friends, and they are so great about it. I plan to tell my family
soon, actually I've told some of them already. I hate to leave you all
hanging, and hope you'll understand. I still want E-Mails, just to make
sure you still care about Blake and Johnny, but if you hate me I'll
understand.

See Yall Around.
