"DING DONG"

I sadly slumped out of my bed and walked to my front door to answer it. Oh yeah, in my sadness I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Benjamin Ripley and i'm single, though i had a girlfriend about 22 minutes and 37 seconds ago. I have level 12 math skills so i basically always know what time it is. I live in an apartment in Washington DC (also where my ex-gf currently lives).

I looked through the peep hole in my door to see who was there. It was all of my friends. Mike, my best friend who is a very kind and caring guy, texted me earlier, probably when he arived at Violet's friends place, and this is what he said:

Mike: Hey Ben! I'm wondering where you are, because your not at the party and you said you would come.

Ben: I left early.

Mike: Why?

Ben: Vi and I broke up.

He immediatly said he and the others would leave the party and come to my apartment as soon as they could. I thanked them, and now they're here.

I opened the door.

"Hi." I said glumly

"Whoa, Ben you look terrible!" Mike exclaimed. He was right. I had bags under my reddened eyes and my hair was really messed up. Also my cheeks had blotches of tears on them which were clearly visible.

"You must've had a BAAAD break up then." Zoe, a very high-spirited friend of mine, said.

"yep."

I let them into my apartment room, which was not very big so it was pretty crouded now. I laid down on my bed and sighed while everyone surroned me.

"Toughen up Ben." Erica said. I didn't even realize she was there until now because she was so quiet. Her piercing blue eyes seemed to boar right into me.

"You just broke up with someone. Its not that big of a deal."

"You've never been through a break up, it's much more complicated than that, Erica." Mike replied. He then looked at me directly.

"If you wanna get through this, your gonna have to get up and do something interesting, moping around here won't solve anything." He started toward the front door.

"Come on, we are gonna get you through this."

That brightened my spirits a little. I smiled slightly and sat upright.

"Ok, lets go." I said.

"Thats the spirit!"

Come on Ben, you got this! Hope you liked the first chapter! And don't worry, I will make sure to make them much longer in the future. Cookieguy is signing out, Bye! 😊
