Smoke was fifteen when he was put into the Day's foster home, it didn't take him long to be friend their neighbours kid, and not long to develop feelings for him. The same happened with James. As they got closer, the did begin to date. It made Smoke happy that he could be himself with James, James was the only happy thing about this move to the Day's house hold.
On day, after months of dating Smoke told Jame's of what they were doing to him at night and why they couldn't do anything at night. The next day, Smoke pitched the idea to runaway together - so that he could get away from the Day's house. That he had figured out away to break away from the cuffs that they put on him. James told him it was a great idea, and told him where he would meet Smoke once he broke free.
When Smoke had finished gathering a few things after breaking from his cuffs. Smoke had ran out to the park and he waited for James. He waited an hour before he started to get worried, but he couldn't risk going back so he stayed there at the park and waited until the sun rose and no James showed up. He hefted his bag on his shoulder and wiped at the tears that had fallen from his eyes. He then slowly walked away from the park with a broken heart. He really had wanted to be with James, but it was clear to Smoke that James was not feeling the same way.
