It's been two weeks since Allie and I broke up. Memories keep flashing back. From the day we first met, when she became our teacher in art class, the first time I got the courage to ask her out, our first date, our first kiss, our first fight, our first everything. Damn, I should not be thinking these kinds of things.
I stood up, then walked into the kitchen and grabbed some beer in the fridge. Oh, I'm at Chloe's apartment. She made me stay here the whole week to make sure I don't do anything stupid. Such a sweet friend.
I went back to the couch and watched some episodes of Friends. Even they can't make me laugh. Ugh. I'm getting tired of this shit. I feel so lost and pointless. I can now agree on what people say about break up. You know the feeling you get after watching the last episode of your favorite series? Or the moment when you have finally finished the book you are reading? Waking up in the morning and checking your phone hoping for any messages or voicemail from her. The feeling of having to start over again and you have no idea where to begin. Well, that's pretty much what I'm feeling right now. Sucks to be me.
My eyes are so puffy and red from all the crying. I look like total shit. I received a text from Chloe telling me to meet me at starbucks in an hour. I went to the bathroom and took a long shower. If Chloe wants to meet with me then she will have to wait. She's really understandable these days. I appreciate that from her. She doesn't really need to tell me all those shitty pep talks just to make me feel better because that's what I want to hear. No, instead she just sits beside you as you cry your heart out. Just her presence makes me feel like everything's gonna be okay. But then, the memories kept flashing back and the cycle goes on.

"Hey" I said, forcing a smile."Hi." She said with a grin. What is up with her? I can tell that she's planning on something.
"So, what's up?" I asked.
"Well, brotha. Time for some tough love" she smirked. I know that evil smirk alright. "Dude, I know things are hard for you. There's no really shortcut to forgetting someone. You just have to accept the fact that you and her are over. You just have to endure missing her everytime you think of her. Time will come that you won't be missing her anymore. And until that time comes, it will be my job as your superfriend to keep you busy so as not to think of her all the time. Ayt?"
I chuckled. She really do get me. "Okay. So what do you have in mind?"
"Ooohhh this is gonna be epic, I tell you. Well not that much but I'm sure that you will feel a lot better" she stood from her seat and dragged me to her car.
Next thing I knew we were in an abandoned building. Kinda creepy actually. I have no idea what we're doing there but I trust Chloe enough. I saw Chloe carrying a sack filled with empty beer bottles which I have apparently consumed.
"Now what?" I asked.
"These bottles, my friend, will lessen your sorrow. You are such an emoshit. Not awesome at all." She laughed. "Trust me... you will feel better once you throw these bottles"
"Throw them? Uhh.. at the wall?"
"No, at me.. of course at the wall, dude.. now stop whining and throw all your depression away"
I started throwing the bottles at the wall. Surprisingly I did feel much better. I threw another one, and then another one. I was screaming and crying and throwing my feelings away. I realized that I do need to move on. I am now accepting the fact that Allie and I did love each other. But I also have to accept the fact that our relationship has changed and will never get back on how they used to be. It is time I stopped denying this.
"Feels good, eh?" Choe asked.
"Thanks. Really. You don't know how much I need this" I really am thankful that even though I lost someone special, I still have Chloe..my best friend.
"Not so fast pikachu. We need to celebrate this moving on thingy with you at the bar."
"Haha. Alright. My treat"
Chloe and I concluded this not-so-emo day anymore with a bottle of tequila.
*******
I was still staying at her apartment. I'm actually getting used to it."Hey Chloe, do you think I need to see someone?" I asked.
"What? Uhmm. I don't know.. well, I don't think so. I mean, you are still moving on,but I don't think you have to see other people. Maybe it's better if you just focus on yourself first. Sorry if my advice is pretty boring but you know my point, right?" She replied.
"Yeah, you're right. There's no rush to find someone. I don't do rebounds as well. I'm just wondering I guess."
"Uh-huh. How 'bout we watch some movies instead?" She grinned.
"Yeah. I think I wanna watch 500 Days of Summer" I suggested.
"Ugh. Not in the mood for that. Let's watch Saw series instead" she insisted.
"Okay you evil woman". Might as well let her choose or else she'll rip my head off. Kidding. I think I'll stay off from romance for now.

I went to the mall to but some stuff I needed for a class project. We have to make some architectural model of the design we've made in class.
As I was strolling, I noticed something. I'm not sure if it's just me, but damn, all I see are happy couples. Seriously? I'm not jealous or anything but do they really have to display such affection in public? Ugh. Gross. Well, except for old people. I kinda admire seeing old people displaying affection in public. Kinda cute actually.
I was at the cashier paying for the stuff as I heard a person a few feet away from me trip over the boxes. I turned my head towards the person and noticed a pretty girl sitting on the floor. Well more on the squished boxes. I laughed a little but immediately stopped as she looked at me. I walked fastly towards her to help her get up but then another girl helped her instead.
"Sweetie, you are such a clumsy bunny" her I'm-guessing-girlfriend told the girl.
"Hehe. Yeah. Let's go?" She said.
The two girls then left.
After buying the stuff I needed, I decided to head back to the dorm and finish the project. I just want to keep my self busy to not think of other things.
*******
"Party this Friday at my house." I received a text from Chuck.
Having finished my project and having no plans that night, I immediately replied "Sure. Chloe and I will be there." There's no way I'm going there without my bro.
"Sweet. See you!"
My phone rang and saw Chloe's name on the screen. The pokemon might have already known about the party.
"911 what's your emergency?" I said.
"Starbucks. Be here in 10 minutes. Save me." She sounded serious.
I immediately took my car keys and drove to Starbucks. Her call made me kinda worried.
When I arrived, I saw the pokemon smiling uneasily at the guy she's with. I can tell that she's having those bad dates so I decided to go inside...and start some drama.
"Chloe, thank God you're here! Something's happened!! Bugs, h-he's d-dying!! We need to go now!" I grabbed her wrist and we ran towards the car leaving the poor guy.
We went inside the car as we were catching our breath.
"You seriously have to mention my dead bunny back there?" She shouted at me as she slapped my arm.
"Ouch! That hurts! Just be thankful I came here and saved you. As for Bugs, may he and his bunny fur rest in peace"
"Thanks, you dipshit! Gosh, that date was a disaster." She laughed.
"You should've seen his face. He looked fuckin' confused."
"I saw it actually. He was hilarious. And your acting got real good." We both laughed.
"Hey, wanted to go at the Deck?" I asked her.
"Hell yeah!"
