after catching his mother and the man he's in love with having sex, august runs back to ruckus and finds spider, the man whom earlier that year had told august he was in love with him. august apologizes to spider and tells him everything; spider accepts the apology and invites august to follow him to new york city, where he is moving to go to art school. august spends the rest of the summer in houston taking over spider's bartending gigs at ruckus to get experience for a job while spider is in new york "getting things together." when august arrives that fall, spider has become a different person, having discovered heroin and other heavy drugs. on new year's eve, august arrives at their apartment late from work to find spider tripping on lsd and accusing august of stealing his heroin stash. spider becomes violent and august runs away, ending up in times square with the millions gathered there. later that night, august goes into a gay porn theater to get out of the cold because he's afraid to go home. as he falls asleep in the back row, he decides he will go back to houston as soon as possible.
