Opening it,
I realized that Bert had bought me
A brand new shirt.

It was black dress shirt and had rows of tiny
white spots.

It was beautiful.

"This had to be expensive," I told him, studying the shirt,
"you didn't have to do this."

"It seemed like a great way to repay my debt to you."
He replied.

"What debt, Bert?!?"

"...You know."

I bit my lip,
Glanced at the gorgeous shirt.

I looked back at Bert,
"I love it. I really do."

"I'm glad to hear that." he smiled.

"Thank you."

He leaned in for a hug,
I hesitantly accepted the offer.

I know if was a simple, friendly embrace,
But I felt so violated with him touching me.

It was suffocating.

I shot my eyes at Pete.

I was about to have an anxiety attack.

It finally ended
Before I lost my mind.

Something that lasted seconds
Felt like a lifetime.
It was terrible.

I immediately clung to my shirt
For comfort.

But having Pete and Patrick here,
Was comfort enough.

I hope Pete is okay though.
