1234) Are you going to disappear?
He spins his index finger
In circles around his temple
I know before he says it
I want to get Loco tonight
So we
Shotgun a four loco
I've only done this once before
I accidentally splash it all over myself
You're going to die one day
You're getting old and you're going to die
Drink this
I'm laughing
At every bit
EJ can't stand the taste
I forgot the reaction my body has
Why did he pick the worst flavor?
He lies in the grass for a while
Gagging as he tries to drink it all
Long after I've finished mine
He picks the grass out of his hair
This goes to show your tolerance is
Unnaturally high
I come in here shit faced and you're
Like a regular person
Listen, I don't know why that's the case
Why do you think I stuck with
Hundred proof so long?
I walk out and he's still laying in the grass
I collapse - laughing
We talk about food so I
Cook them burgers
Wait - they have bogo on a pound of blue crab?
Guys, I don't want to pay for seafood
Crabs are garbage
I stand on my tippy toes
Making eye contact with EJ
Over the top of the freezer door
Jacob, you're going to die one day
If we get crab, you're going to eat some
I'm going to die one day?
Yes.
Alright, then, I'll snack on some crab
Just incase-
You want to say anything else
I keep my phone off silent
Just incase you
Want to call or
Say anything else
I keep it on standby
I'm going to try to get shredded
In the meantime
But - like, I'll always be here
Literally, always, promise
So - whatever.
That's two for flinching
(Either one of them could kick my ass)
You know, I taught Jake how to
Throw a punch two years ago
He's like my son
Throwing 900's at Arcade Monsters
Yeah now I'm coming to take the title
Catch these hands and that's
Four now, for flinching
You're racking up the debt
Make that six
I'll take you both at the same time
That's eight, text your girlfriend you're
Going home in a body bag
(Nobody ever flinches, and it only makes it funnier)
Hand me the bong
No, you hand me the bong
My arms are so short
As soon as I get up to
Hand one of these babies the bong
All the way across the room
Alex decides to pick it up
To ensure I wasted my efforts to help them
I double over laughing
EJ dabs me up as we get ready to
Take a shot
He always holds onto it for too long
Afraid of the hundred proof
Going down unsteady
After we high five
I turn around and
Alex has already downed mine
I'm laughing so hard I collapse
My neck ticks-
Would you please share this laughter with me?
They want to smoke cigarettes
We take the pack out and
Drag one down
Only five left before
I'm done with them
I'll wait for the next time they
Want to smoke
Between UFC fights
Me and EJ are being high energy
Alex has that look in his face that's
Perfectly somewhere between
Disappointed father and
Worried
My knees scrape the carpet as
I gasp for breath
You tryna get pieced up?
Don't you weigh like 60 pounds?
Yeah, it'll be embarrassing when I take you down
I offer my comforter to EJ but he
Denies it and then
Keeps mentioning how comfortable I look
Yeah, this is pretty nice!
Do you want it?
No, it's like.. yours
This guy is fucking ridiculous
I'm so comfortable but
I keep thinking I wish you were
By my side
Sharing a laugh with me or
Holding my hand
Alex takes a hit and
EJ is pestering him while he does it
So he blows the smoke in his face
What are you laughing at?
I answer,
I just love my friends.
My neck tics
Would you share a laugh with me?
They're falling asleep before the main card
I don't even watch UFC
I look at EJ and he's
Side-eyeing me ensuring I don't
Catch him slipping again
Jake, when you get your own place next month
Are we going to ever see you, again?
Are you going to disappear?
I don't know
I do have the biggest table around here.
I drive EJ home
He's shivering immediately
Don't worry bud, I'm going to warm you up!
I blast the heater and
Drop him off
Get back home and
Put back the Roach
He was just hanging out in the background, anyway

VERSE ; DELL’INFERNO (AKA OF HELL)
this time, lynn does not escape on her own. this time, she awakens to the soft whimper of a child in the arms of her husband (gone, lost). this time, the child is carried in the crook of her arm, out of that place, away from the nightmare. tests, exams, assessments all deem the child to be natural - living and healthy. the images on the screen warp and twitch as the doctor conducts their test. the lights flicker above. shadows dance across the walls, but only for a moment. a trick of the eye. HER TRUE FACE. lynn’s own horrors have to be grappled with, alongside raising the child that never could’ve been his. blake’s. it couldn’t. it’d been months. how was this possible?
