 Four men walked out of a bar, leaving behind all their friends to finish cleaning up. The group laughed and had fun till realizing those four left. The group promised to help clean the bar anytime they held a party, it was their way of saying thanks for using the space for cheap money. The superior soon found out that not everyone helped that night. It left him unhappy. Consequences would soon happen.

A few days later that same group, with everyone this time, all had a get-together. Though this time, it was a punishment for not everyone helping. The four were scorned by the others. All unhappy for having to be punished when it was only the four people's fault. Ever since that day, the group of friends hated those four for leaving. They gladly showed it.

Another get-together happened at the bar. Everyone had fun, except those four. Finally, one of them got up and walked to a small group talking. "Why have you guys been ignoring and being rude to the four of us," as he gestured to himself and the three sitting down in the corner of the bar. One of the girls snarled at him, "Well of course it's because you guys all left when we were supposed to all help clean up this place. You left then we all got punished for it. And you four didn't even properly do the punishment we were given." The group looked at the man and walked away, all in a foul mood.

The guy walked back to the other three with his head down. He sat down and told them what he was told. The four sat in silence the rest of the night. After the whole group get-together finished, just like before, they started to clean. This time though, the four men helped. Depression lingering in their eyes. They didn't speak. People glanced but kept cleaning and talking with others.

Once they finished, all of them walked out together. The four got in front and apologized to the rest of the group. People glanced at each other till the 'leader' of the group said it was okay. "You have lost our trust in you, so if you wish to befriend us once more you will need to work hard at it." The four smiled and nodded.

Don't take things for granted, once you lose them, you might never get it back. Be careful with what you do. And watch what you say. This was more of a rant about something that happened at school. This was my way of helping me feel better, and I wanted to share it since it wasn't bad. Also, the picture of the dog isn't mine. I just found it on Google. Hope you liked it, and go read better things cause this sucked and ya. Good luck.
