Chapter Fifty-Nine: Poltergeist Activity

“Excuse me,” Jimmy shouted excitedly as he whipped his body around the corner, scaring the soul right out of my body. “What is this I hear about cohabitating with Brian?”
Brian and I had taken the next few days since his housing proposal to skim through his tour schedule. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I’d been imagining it to be but it was still a substantial amount of time spent apart. He’d only be gone for six weeks for the first bit before he’d be able to come home for a couple of days. I could do six weeks.
We’d settled on living in his house, since he owned and I rented. Plus, his house was a mansion compared to my tiny one bedroom apartment. He’d be home near the halfway point of their tour, at which point we figured we’d start looking at new properties. There’s something strange about moving into someone else’s house—it just never quite feels like yours.
It was a good plan and I was feeling pretty good about it. Brian had pointed out to me that we’d basically been living together for the past three months on tour and so far, hadn’t had any problems we hadn’t found our way back from.
I assumed Brian had just broken the news to Jimmy.
Obviously I was done reading for the time being, so I set my book down beside me and waited for Jimmy to position himself across from me—which he did.
“What about it?” I asked.
His eyes were wide and his face was permanently adorned with an excited grin.
“It’s maybe the best piece of news I’ve ever heard,” Jimmy told me happily.
I smiled, “You know I’m going to take your key back.”
“Fuck you!” Jimmy growled teasingly. “We’re going to be roomies!”
“We’re not,” I laughed. “We’re absolutely not.”
“I’m going to be over every day,” Jimmy grinned widely.
I shook my head, “You, my friend, will be on tour.”
Jimmy frowned dramatically, pushing his bottom lip out for effect.
It was going to be a huge adjustment for me, not seeing Brian every day. But it hadn’t dawned on me that I would also need to adjust to not seeing Jimmy every day. He’d woven himself so intricately into my life that I knew then that his absence would leave a void. A noticeable void.
“What will I do without pestering my favorite Blair?” Jimmy whined, throwing his hands above his head as he collapsed into himself.
I sighed, “What about me? I won’t have you or Bri.”
“No flying off the deep end,” he instructed me seriously, sitting up enough to point a warning, skinny finger at me. “You have to keep it together while we’re gone.”
“I’m sure I’ll be fine,” I said, hoping it was true.
I’d become so dependent on Brian’s healing powers that I was hoping things wouldn’t fall to shambles for me once he was gone. I was optimistic that I’d reverted back to apathetic ways and could handle whatever trauma bubbled up. The nights were still hard but I’d been coping pretty well. I’d been independent for most of my life, maybe Brian and Jimmy vacating my life for a while would help me prove to myself that I was capable of being independent again. I really hoped I could be.
“You will,” Jimmy nodded once with a smile. “Because you’re Blair Peterson and Blair Peterson is a bad ass.”
I smiled a little, “So, you really think it’s a good idea? Brian and I moving in together?”
“You moved in together months ago,” Jimmy smirked. “It’ll just be a bigger place this time.”
“You know what I mean,” I replied with a shake of my head. “You don’t think it’s too soon?”
“What is time anyway?” Jimmy groaned, leaning himself all the way back again. “It’s relative. You guys are the best people. It makes my heart happy to think of you in one convenient place.”
“One convenient place?” I repeated curiously.
He nodded wildly, “Yeah; you know, for pestering purposes. I can see you both at the same time, Blair! The same time at the same place—no more back and forth for me.”
He continued on a tangent about how convenient it would be for him and all of the time we were going to spend together. He mentioned movie nights and binge drinking and daily swims. At least in my apartment, I didn’t have to worry about Jimmy being over every day. I reminded myself that Jimmy being around often was a good thing. I adored Jimmy—he’d definitely played a serious role in my mental stability.
“I get it,” I finally said, cutting off his plans for our collective future. “You’ll be at our house all the time.”
“Exciting prospect, isn’t it?” Jimmy beamed.
I nodded, “Can’t wait.”
We had three weeks left on this tour from hell. I figured that the dates were all so close together that the time would practically fly by. I’d been promised that touring was going to change my life—and it had—but it wasn’t what I’d been expecting. It hadn’t been the rush of excitement and good times that everyone else had boasted about. Mine had been filled with hardly anything but trials and tribulations. Beyond the Brian-cohabitating thing, I couldn’t wait to go the fuck home.
Brian appeared as if from nowhere and plopped himself down next to me, pulling my head into a chokehold and planting a firm kiss on the top of my disheveled head. Jimmy grinned wider.
“I love you both,” he smiled affectionately at us.
I pushed Brian off of my head and smoothed my hair.
“We love you too,” I said finally.
Brian smirked a little, “Not enough to let you keep your key though.”
“You two really are soul mates, huh?” Jimmy grumbled unhappily.
“I told him the same thing,” I giggled to Brian.
“We don’t need constant Rev interruptions,” Brian continued deviously. “That’s all I’d want—about to get my dick wet and all I can hear is your stupid voice ripping through the house.”
Brian shuddered theatrically.
“Put a sock on the door,” Jimmy shrugged.
I cackled, “What? On the front door?”
“Sure!” Jimmy nodded. “I won’t come a knocking if there’s a sock on the door. It’s code.”
“You don’t knock as it is,” Brian groaned.
Jimmy straightened out his face, “I don’t know what to tell you guys. You can gripe all you want, you’re not getting my key back.”
“Jimmy—” Brian tried.
“I’ve put it somewhere safe,” Jimmy grinned widely. “Somewhere secret. You’ll never find it. And if you do find it, I’ll swallow it.”
“But then you wouldn’t have it,” I argued.
He raised his brows at me, “Sure I would—it would just take a few days to get it back.”
“Gross,” I stated matter-of-factly.
“And then you won’t want it back anyway,” Jimmy continued. “So…I win.”
“But Jimmy—” I tried again.
Brian shook his head, “Forget it, Blair. It’s not worth it. You can’t argue with crazy people.”
Jimmy nodded a couple of times, “It’s true. It’s cute that you tried though. A for effort.”
Maybe I’d been pretending like Jimmy was a nuisance and his constant premise in our home would be a burden. But in reality, I didn’t mind at all. I was, after all, in the market for a new best friend. Though, Brian had effectively filled that position when I wasn’t looking.
What a wonderful thing, to love your best friend. And to have his best friend love you.
“We’ll eat tacos!” Jimmy told me excitedly after a few seconds of silence. “I won’t make them but I will eat them!”
“The night before you guys leave me forever,” I decided with a little whine, “we will eat tacos.”
“As payment for helping move Blair into my house,” Brian added smugly.
Jimmy’s jaw dropped, “I don’t want to help move! Manual labor? No fucking thank you.”
“No choice,” Brian shrugged. “You want your key? You’ll have to work for it.”
“No!” Jimmy shrieked dramatically, placing a hand to his forehead and fake-fainting.
“Maybe if he dies, he’ll be quiet,” Brian mumbled to me with a smirk.
Jimmy spoke from under the table, “I heard that. And I won’t.”
“He’d be a poltergeist,” I said.
“Those are the ones that throw shit around, right?” Jimmy asked.
I laughed, “Yes.”
“I’d definitely be a poltergeist then,” he decided. “And I’d take up residence in your house.”
“Sweet lord no—”
Jimmy cheered, still under the table, “Jimmy forever!”
“What have you done?” Brian groaned playfully.
I was okay with Jimmy forever.

Sorry for the delay. I'm in the middle of midterms over here and it's making for a hella tight schedule.

But here's an update from within the chaos.
