Falling Shreds

Simon sighed, shaking his head, turning away. "Forget I said anything..."

Jeremiah nodded, "Okay..."

Simon sighed, running a hand through his hiar.

Jeremiah was slightly suprised. He was comfortable around Simon, and was okay talking to him.

Simon sat on his bed.

Jeremiah looked at his watch. Tom had said half an hour. THat was five minutes away. Jeremiah wondered if he should leave before Tom got back, or stay.

"Don't you dare think about leaving until Tom gets back."

Jeremiah looked to him, a slight suprise in his eyes, and then nodded.

"I saw you look at your watch then glance at the door..."

Jeremiah looked down and nodded, "I won't leave..."

"Good."

Jeremiah nodded. He then reached for his inhaler, taking two doses.

Simon sighed. "I am so stressed..."

Jeremiah looked up at him, "May I ask what about?"

"Everything. Work...my girlfriend...ugh..."

Jeremiah nodded.

"And my brother..."

Jeremiah tilted his head slightly.

"Stresses me out."

"What about Tom stresses you out?"

'Look...I don't know you well enough to talk to you about that...sorry...it's a little too personal..."

Jeremiah nodded, "I understand."

Simon lay on his back.

Jeremiah looked down. He was feeling a little nervous about seeing Tom when he got back.

Simon sighed, hands behind his head.
