Chapter Text
–Lexy’s party went fine, until her joke, Jake left her house after that, but a guy was running behind him– Jake wait, please –Oliver asked him– Jake
—Leave me alone.
I didn’t know about it, wait –Oliver took his hand– I’m really sorry, I knew about the joke, I mean… Lexy told us about a joke for the party, but I never imagined something like that, I swear.
—Why should I listen to you? you’ve been an asshole with me since the first day.
I know, and I’m really sorry, I got it, come with me.
—Oliver…
It’s okay, just trust me.
—I wanna go home.
I know, just give a minute, please.
—Fine – it was a surprise for Jake to discover that Oliver has a tree house, nobody knew about it, it was a little embarrassing for him– you got a tree house?
Yes, it’s a my… “secret place” –it’s a nice place, videogames, comics, a TV- so… Welcome to Ollieland
—Ollieland? Are you five years old?
Hey, that’s rude, this is my shelter, my castle.
—You bring your friends here?
No, never… this is my especial place –he said while pulling two puff cushions– sit down, or lay down –Jake let out a sigh and lay down on the puff next to Oliver, neither of them knew what to say, it was an awkward silence, neither of them knew how long they went without saying anything, so Oliver was the first to talk– I’m really sorry Jake.
—Thank you… It’s cute to hear that without being looked at like a freak.
And I’m really sorry for being a jerk with you.
—Why were you so mean to me?
I don’t know… I mean, you are a little rare, but… you’re very funny, the talent show was amazing, your act… honestly, Lexy deserved it.
—Thanks.
You know, my parents let me bring friends home.
—So?
Well, maybe I’m not the smartest guy of school, but… I think that you don’t have to be alone, so… if you want, tomorrow we could come here, play video games, have a snack... and talk a little bit if you want.
—Maybe, I want –Oliver smiled and Jake only was locking him– Oliver, the party?
Fuck, well… I think we can stay here more time.
—We could… –at the beginning Junior was angry, he returned home alone, his parents reprimanded him for leaving Jake, Logan and Bree were worried, when Jake’s phone started to ring he picked up the phone– sorry, yes, I’m sorry uncle, yes I know, I’m fine, I just… I’m with a friend, okay, yeah I’m on my way… I gotta go.
Everything’s okay?
—Yeah, just… it’s late and my uncle wants me in home.
Well, the party is over, and it’s dangerous to walk alone, and Uber doesn’t work at this hour, I could accompany you home.
—Okay –they left the tree house, before leaving Oliver's house, Jake looked at him with a nervous smile– do you like slumber parties?
Sure… you know, my parents won't be here tomorrow, we could have one –before leaving Oliver's house, Jake looked at him with a nervous smile–
