Fifteen

The trip was a long one, and it was exactly as bad as he'd worried it would be. The only thing that made him feel any better about it was knowing that he'd go home eventually. The fact that it answered some questions about Jesse's personal life didn't help as much as he might have liked it to. There's something about being afraid of being shot the entire time that makes it hard to really appreciate the value of little things like that.

Jesse let out a long, low breath, closed his eyes, and kept them closed. Evan watched him with a vague, distant feeling. They still had at least five more hours together on the airplane, and as much as Evan didn't hate his friend, together was the last place he wanted to be right now. He wanted to be alone.

No, that wasn't even true. He didn't want to be alone, he wanted to be with Dana. Which was the revelation of a lifetime, because to the Evan that Evan thought he knew, that was impossible. He didn't get attached. He could have a good time. Lately, he'd proven to himself that he could have a better time than even he knew.

But the idea that he'd be more comfortable with a woman than without one? It was absurd. It was impossible. And it was precisely that situation in which he'd found himself, to his very great surprise. Instead of figuring out what that meant, he thought about anything else.

He thought about meeting Jesse's mother. He thought about the fact that he'd been wrong his entire life about the guy. He'd always been a big mystery. How did he get into the school? What were his grades like? Who were his parents?

His parents weren't poor, though. That had been the initial assumption. He didn't talk about his family because they were low on the totem pole. Maybe the numbers in their bank account weren't as high as Colin's dad, but the ability to bring their accumulated wealth to bear on a situation couldn't be compared.

So in the end, for the eldest son of a gang family, the military is a natural choice of career. And when you're out, being a tough guy is just natural. Right up until it's time to take over, you have to be proving that you're too tough to be messed with, Evan guessed.

Then he closed his eyes, too, and tried to think happy thoughts. Thoughts about going home, and about the life he'd have there. It was, after all, only a few more months to the holiday break. Should he take Dana on vacation? He smiled. And then he fell asleep, and had pleasant dreams. Dreams that he, naturally, hoped were going to come to fruition.

But that was only because he didn't know that by then, every single one of them had been entirely derailed already. Days ago. And he couldn't have known, because he'd left his phone behind in the states.

Evan didn't waste time finding out, though.
