(Remy POV)

After long days like this, I go for Starbucks, which is where I'm headed now. I replay the day in my head.  Basically, I walked out of my house, got into a fight, yelled at my friends, cried for half an hour then now here I am. I order my drink then sit down, I look out the window to see a bunch of happy people walking by, I wish I could be like that. Happy, not a care in the world, a good person. But that'll never happen sadly. Life's a bitch, and it will hurt you any way it possibly can, attacking people of its choosing. Deaths the only escape. Nobody understands you but yourself most of the time.

I bring myself out of my thoughts as I look at the drink the waiter put in front of me, I take a sip and yawn. I see my friends, Percy and Giovanni or Gio for short. They sit down at my table, looking angry at me. "Dude. You didn't have to yell at us earlier." Percy said, I rolled my eyes "Sorry not sorry." I say as they shake their heads. "What are you guys here for? You're ruining coffee time." I groan "Well. We need to talk." Oh god not another lecture. "You have a coffee addiction, you get into fights for fun, you never sleep, you neglect your health, you have anger issues and many more!" Gio exclaims. "Yeah, we think you need to talk it out. Whatever is going on we can help!" I scoff "I don't need to do anything." I get up, pay for my coffee and drink it as I walk out to the busy street.

I finish my coffee off and put the empty cup in a nearby trash can, I walk down to an alleyway and lean on the wall. I sigh as it starts to rain. I just listen to the sound of it dropping on the ground and the roofs of the buildings next to me. Its calming, one of the few things that made me happy. I smile slightly and hug myself, I feel like going home and watching some drama movies. Maybe even scoop some drama up from the many social media apps I have. I start walking home in the rain. I arrive home and slump on my couch. Picking out a few movies and picking one to watch.

After watching the movie I go on to my phone and watch all the drama that's going on. I laugh a bit and grab some snacks. Mainly popcorn and Sour Patch Kids. I see the people stopped the drama and I turn the TV on again. watching some trash TV until dawn. 


(Percy POV)

We stayed in silence after Remy left. "What should we do?" Gio asked, I sighed. "I don't know. All these things are hurting him and he's too stubborn to let us help him." I say, feeling a deep concern for my friend. He's been doing this for several years now. I look at Gio who seems to have had an idea. "There's a therapy building a few blocks away, maybe we could sign him up for that?" He says, I smile "Yeah, that's a good idea. But I doubt he'll go." Gio thinks for a moment. "Unless we force him." I laugh a bit, "Mhm, we can tell him we're going for Starbucks." We laugh. "Awesome but how will we get him to actually attend the session though?" I think. "There's bribery?" He nods quickly and I nod as well.

I get out my phone and call the receptionist for the therapy building. I talk to the receptionist for a while then turn to Gio. "Two days was the earliest time we could get so, operation get Remy to therapy?" Gio nods and we share a high five. I've been friends with Remy and Gio for as long as I can remember, the thought of Remy possibly taking his life is heartbreaking. Therapy could really help him. At least I hope it will, I really don't want to lose him. He thinks I don't care but I really do! I understand that he hates himself and all but hurting himself isn't the answer. I sigh and we order some drinks since its strange to come in here and not buy anything.

We talk for a while to get our minds off of it. It helps but we still think about it.  I look at the time, 1:51 pm. We get up and pay then go to a restaurant to eat lunch. We talk over pasta then we pay and leave again.  The rest of the day was fun, we missed Remy's sarcasm but he needs a break from people right now I guess. I sigh as Gio runs around in the rain, he's always been a little kid at heart. That's mainly why he's my best friend. He keeps the kid in me alive as much as he does to his. 

A few hours later, it gets dark and we head home, I pass Remy's house and I groan as I see the light from the living room. He's binge watching that show again. He's watched it fifteen and a half times I thought he'd get sick of it but apparently not. I can't believe that guy doesn't have a job. Wait- now that I think about it. I don't think he's stable enough to work 9 to 5, let alone a single shift. Maybe a job at Starbucks would be ideal but I don't want to push his addiction further, that wouldn't help. That would just make his situation worse. 

I arrive at home and clean up, my brother seemed to have had another party. I shake my head and clean the living room up. I go to my room and make my bed, I get changed then I lay in the bed. I like to have it clean before I go in it. I text Gio saying goodnight then I fall asleep.
