Chapter Four

-JIMMY-

Jimmy slid the knot of his tie up until it was nice and tight. No matter how much he fidgeted with it in the mirror, it seemed to be a little off every time. After a few more attempts, he decided to abandon the goal of getting it perfect. He folded his collar down, sealing the noose-like blue ring around his neck.

He stood in front of the mirror, staring blankly at his reflection. Despite the awful fit of the white, button-down shirt, navy blue tie and matching shorts, at least he was having a decent hair day. His usual mess of red hair was combed, and slanted to the side, giving a nice. Jimmy smiled, thinking to himself that today could be a nice day. However, the grin began faded as he noticed the empty bed of his roommate.

Jimmy saw that he was gone from the moment he woke up. His bed was unmade—no surprise there, but the most peculiar thing was that his running shoes still hung from the wire hook above the door. Jake's mornings were usually comprised of one of two activities: He would be on a run or some other form of exercise to perfect his body, or he would be coming back from a shower, without a stitch of clothing.

Since there were no wet towels thrown on the floor or underwear hanging from the bedside, Jimmy came to the conclusion that Jake was probably off somewhere up to no good.

Jimmy tore away from the floor-length mirror and retrieved the shorts laid neatly on his bed. He finished dressing and went to the top drawer of his dresser, taking his first pin into the palm of his hand. The sunlight reflected across the gold pin as he held it out loosely in his palm. He wondered if he even deserved it. After all, everything up until this point had been a lie.

His father didn't harbor any resentment towards his open homosexuality. Jimmy had great friends back home, who accepted him for who he was. He had all the support in the world, But nagging guilt clouded his thoughts.

Jimmy brought the pin bearing two embracing hands up to his shirt and hesitated, letting it hover over the breast pocket of his blazer. Mason's words echoed in his head. Why did Mason feel the need to thank him? Thank him for what, lying to him? Jimmy began to realize this whole scheme was not going to be as easy to execute as he thought. Mason misinterpreted what he had said the other day. He didn't want him to change who he was. Jimmy thought he was a great guy. However, if he revealed his plans, Mason would never forgive him.

Distracted by his lingering thoughts, Jimmy poked the pin through his blazer and instantly felt a sharp prick.

"Ouch!" He shouted, bringing his finger to eye level, getting a look at the damage. The puncture was just strong enough to draw blood. Jimmy ticked the buttons of his shirt
