Work [Lams]

Chapter NuEvE

I sighed as I watched John wave goodbye from the sidewalk. I wish I could spend more time here. I waved bye to him as my Uber drove away. The first thing I thought of was taking out my phone to text him, and then I;d probably text Thomas too.

AlexanderHamilini: Miss you already!

JohnTheTurtle: same <3

AlexanderHamilini: Send me constant updates on whats going on in you college! 

JohnTheTurtle: Of course!

I then swiped through my phone to the only other contact I had.

AlexanderHamilton: Hello

ThomasTheGreat: Hey!

AlexanderHamilton: How are you today?

ThomasTheGreat: Good, good. 

AlexanderHamilton: its almost Chinese new year. Planning on visiting China?

ThomasTheGreat: Yeah. I go each year, mostly to brag to my friends about it.

AlexanderHamilton: If I could afford it I would go.

ThomasTheGreat: Hey, you could come with me!

AlexanderHamiltion: I don't know. I was planning on maybe spending time with John for Chinese new year.

ThomasTheGreat: Oh, him? Hes not worth your time. I'd be much more fun to spend time with.

AlexanderHamilton: I'm sorry. He is worth my time. I've grown quite fond of him. Please don't insult my friend.

ThomasTheGreat: Fine. Whatever.

I put my phone back in my pocket. He was acting a bit rude. Maybe he was having a bad day or something. I sighed and looked out my window as my Uber drove down a high way.

~An hour later~

I jumped out of the Uber into the snow.

"Abe!" I heard Chris shout.

"Hey!" I said, smiling at him.

"How was your tiny vacation?" Chris asked.

"It was good," I said.

"Did you hear the rumors?" Chris asked as he neared me.

"About what?" I asked.

"A virus," Chris said in an ominous voice.

"A virus? No way," I gasped.

"Yeah. My parents work up in the government. My dad knows President Trump. They say there's a virus in China right now," Chris said.

"I doubt it. They wouldn't hide it from the world," I said.

"Well... stock up on toilet paper, would ya?" Chris said, smiling.

"Sure, whatever," I laughed.

~Three weeks later~

I was dearly missing John. I kept thinking of him constantly. Along with Thomas, he was also really adorable. Way to tall for me though. Our movie was progressing, actually it was almost halfway done. I was really surprised at how fast everything went, I thought movies took years to make, but this was honestly easy.

"Scene 675, start!" Someone shouted.

I walked into Christopher's tent. He was sitting there, alone, crying.

"You're alive!" He gasped.

"Of course I am, I'll always stay alive for you," I said, smiling, and sitting next to him on the floor.
