Sighing I dropped and capped the pen onto the arrangement of delicate flowers I had been emailed on a new, professional account to do an appointment for a group of friends, girls in college. What more can you expect? Stupid, sluty and drinking 80% of their years. Did I ever go to college? I'm 27 so I probably did for art school considering all these drawings I do out of nowhere are rather detailed and come naturally to heart. Feeling my bum vibrate and make a sneeze noise simulantiously I picked it up anticipating a text from Ben on this cheap pre-paid phone I own to talk to him when I need him, and knowing he's my only friend right now who else would I talk to?

Ben: Hey you know that park down Brisbane Drive right? With that pond and shit?

Reading the message in a glance I dialed his number and began to find my sneakers and bag, assuming he'd want to head over there.

"Hello?" I said briskly after hearing the line on his side get picked up, tucking the phone between my cheek and shoulder.

"Hey so have you heard of the place? I just got off and thought that you'd need a little sun since you're always in your solitary confinement or taking a shift after dark. I picked up food for us." He said positively with high hopes it'll brighten my mood. Yes lately I've been feeling like shit, why does it matter to him though he's a young attractive guy that can go hang with one night stands and ditch me.

"Um, yea. I guess I'll go if you really want me to." Awkward. Way to go Lils.

"Don't sound so bummed down you dork. I'll be at your house in a few."

"So what kind of food do you have?" I asked to start a conversation in the car and saturate all the tense air I personally felt.

"Well I'm not a vegan but I'm not a fucking knobhead so I knew the basics. Apples, those little baby oranges, some of these bars with grains and agave, that's a plant right?"

"Affirmative." I smiled a slight for his amusement, nodding a tad.

"Awesome, no animals harmed in the making except a fly or two but they don't have too much good on earth," Ben chuckled a bit I could see he was trying to crack happiness out of me and did as I snorted a bit, flashing my teeth a bit. The warmth in my heart quickly flowing out as in it came. "and I also managed to get my hands on some oreos, fritos, lays, and teddy grahams since I ended up asking the lady what some vegan foods are and you are really really fucking tiny and a bit of a calorie over load for you can't hurt you whatsoever."

"Thank you I appreciate all the treats to fatten me up. " I laughed to lighten the atmosphere and display prosthetic delight and happiness, pulling the sleeves of my sweater into my palms, fighting the urge to take it off in the hot season since the shorts aren't satisfying anything.

"Well I can't let you live off of just the fruit and hippie food can I?"

"That's what I've been doing the past few years I've been alive. "

"Ugh what about your fucking jerk-off of an ex? I'm sure he didn't eat all that vegan food. Wait, would you rather not talk about him?"

"I have no problem talking about what a tiny dick he has whatsoever."

"I love the openness you have about that. Anything else that I can laugh about or maybe kick him in the balls for?"

"Besides fucking Anna on the couch he was a lazy slob, he drank all the time, he never worked, he was a dick to everyone he met with just a minor exception for me and like five other people-"
