Jesse blushed as his friends came back to him. "Hey Fred, what do you think about coming back tomorow?" One asked to the other. "I think that would be a great idea Max" The two grinned down at Jesse, he sighed. "Ugh...Fine..."

Cross continued to dance on the pole until a bar tender told him to go on his break. He sighed in relief, grabbing his jacket from behind the bar and walking outside. He released another sigh as he slid the jacket on and took a cigarette from the pack in his pocket and looked around for his lighter.

"Hey guys come on!!" Jesse pouts. "Set me down, I can walk for myself." He exclaimed, then sighed as he knew they weren't going to listen. As they walked by Cross he flashed him a shy smile and kept tryin to convince his friends to put him down.

He found his lighter and flicked it on, lighting the cigarette. He looked up and saw Jesse being carried by his friends.
"He's a big boy," He said, blowing out a puff of smoke, "Don't you think he'd rather walk himself than be carried around like a little kid?"

Jesse was happy when his friends finaly put him down and sighed in relief. "Ah, thank you" He smiled lightly.

Cross shrugged, taking another puff of his cigarette. These guys must have forced him to come here. Doubt I'll see him again.

[Well umh]
Jesse though about going back, but he didn't really...Ah well, I'm going He smiled to himself, leaving his two friends to guess what he was thinking about.

((Sorry, multitasking and just kinda writing the first think that comes to mind lol ^^'))

"So will I see you here again... 'Jesse' you said, right?" Cross asked looking at him out of the corner of his eye.

[Hehehh I know that from somewhere xD]

Jesse nodded and smirked. "Well, probably." (Deja vu moment xD)

((Eh? *confused*))

Cross stared at him for a moment, finishing his cigarette.
"I need to get back to work." He said as he started to walk back to the door.

[Me does the same ><]

Jesse could just kick himself, he felt so stupid for replying like that. He went home and just flopped down on his bed, thinking about what happend lately.

((lol))

The next morning Cross woke up on a couch. He yawned and streched as he looked around.
"Morning," a large man that worked as a bouncer at the club said with a smile.
"Leo?" Cross looked at in in confusion.
"You fell asleep in the back room after your shift was over." He smiled as he handed him a cup of coffee, "I figured I'd bring ya back to my place since I dont know where ya live."
"Oh, thanks man." He said as he took a sip of the coffee.
"Sure," He said as he flashed a teasing smile, "So who's Jesse?"
Cross choked on his coffee as he looked up at him in shock, "E-excuse me?"
"You kept saying 'Jesse' in your sleep." Leo grinned, "Was that the guy you gave a lap dance to?"
"I-I don't remember anythig about a dream with him in it.* Cross muttered.

Jesse turned around again, he hadn't slept, nightmares just came washing over. He felt like shit (><) and decided to go visit his parents...On the graveyard.

Cross finished off his coffee and said good bye to Leo ((too lazy to write out the whole conversation lol)).
Cross walked down the street, wondering what he should do until he had to go to work.

(Lol xD)

Jesse got dressed in a faded pair of jeans, a T-shirt and a black hoodie. He was walking down the
(Same street as Cross) streetand put on his hoodie as he crossed the road to the graveyard, not noticing Cross.

Cross blinked as he watched him walk across the street, Is he avoiding me? Or... He watched him enter the graveyard.
"Hm..." He stared at the grave yard for a moment, I haven't been here since... Since Adam...
Cross decided to watch Jesse from a distance as he started walking towards the graveyard.

Jesse walked over to his parents graves and knelt down, placing some new flowers on it and just thinking about how it happened and about how he could have saved them. He jsut sat down in front of them and placed his head in hands, wishing this was all just a nightmare.

Cross stopped by a near by grave under a tree as he watched him, wondering who he was mourning. He looked down to see the grave he was standing next to. His eyes widened as he saw the name "Adam Craimer" Written across the stone.
"A-Adam..." He muttered softly as his knees suddenly felt weak.
He remembered when he first met Adam. He was sixteen and had been working as a cage dancer in the club at the time. It was the first time he had fallen in love with a customer.
Cross shook his head as he choked back tears, N-no no, I-I'm not here to visit...

Jesse stood up and walked to another grave that said "Ace Rental". He felt weak when he saw that gravestone, dropping on his knees and actually crying now. Ace was the closest thing he'd ever had to a boyfriend, he was going to ask him out yesterday if he'd be still alive. "I..it's just unfair." He cursed and placed his arms on the grave, placing his head on them and he let his tears run freely. Ace had died using his body to protect him.

((Dunno what to write so I'm gonna write more about Adam lol))

The year before, Adam was found dead in an ally. It was assumed that it was a drug trade that had gone wrong. Adam was five years older than Cross; he and Cross had been together for nearly two years. Cross sank to the ground, despratly trying to choke his tears back as memories of them came rushing back. He remembered the night they met, their first kiss, the first night they shared...
Everything came flooding back to him as he stared at the head stone.

[Heh, lol ><]

After some while, Jesse stood up, he couldn't stand being there anymore, without being able to see him, to feel his touch, to love him...
He walked out of the graveyard, tears still flowing down. But he hadn't noticed Chase, some guy that had bin trying to pick on him, but with Ace out of his way this would be so easy for him. As soon as Jesse walked out, he was pinned against the fence. His eyes widened. "Not so though anymore without your little boyfriend are you?" He laughed, not knowing Cross was there too or any other people. Jesse tried to squirm away, but Chase was too strong for him. "Leave me alone!" He squeeked, just wanting to disappear right now.

Cross looked up, seeing a man pin the boy from the night before to the fence. He got up, nger sweeping through him as he started walking over to them.
"Yo ass wipe." He growled as he walked towards Chase, "What the hell are you doing?"

"Who are you calling an ass wipe, ass wipe?" Chase growled lowly. "That is none of your busisness." He hissed.
Jesse stayed quiet, his head hung defeated, but he was still trying to get of the other male's grip.

"Yea well I'm making it my business." Cross spat as he grabbed him by his collar, "You realize you're in a graveyard? People are coming here to freakin mourn and you try pullin this shit?"

Chase growled lowly again, he didn't like other people interupting his business and trew Jesse down.
Jesse groaned lightly as he hit the ground, but got up and backed away a little, shaking like hell.
