Valentina fell asleep after a while. I could hear her sobs and I stayed there until they quieted down then I left to go find Angelina. We were friends after all, she needed someone to help her and that was my job.  I saved people from mental pain.

It was around 6pm when Angelina texted me back telling me she was at a bar nearby. I drove there right away then parked my car outside the busy bar. I hated crowded places, they made my skin crawl. Germs and sweaty skins. I could not imagine the dirt those bodies carried . I still squeezed through for my friend. She needed me and I was so good at saving other people.

"Drinking in a public place? I would be up for depression drinking in your office any day Angelina" I grabbed the shot in her hand then pushed the little glasses away.

"I just feel so lonely. I needed a crowd around me" Angelina rested her head on the bar counter.

"Come on, let's get you out of here" I grabbed her arm pulling the woman past the dancing oblivious crowd. Nobody got wasted on a Monday night just for fun. All these people were looking for an escape.

Angelina bumped into this young boy. I managed to get a look at him and I saw how high he was. His  nose was red and his arm had a lots of dots indicating heroine addiction.

Forget world war 3, most people were at war with themselves. The fight to stay alive while battling  with messy thoughts. There was no way to control thoughts and when it gets too dark inside the head when they are alone, sometimes the voices won. Making it through each day when you have mental illness feels like a very long time.

Maybe those smart geniuses should write books on how to escape yourself instead of math equations.

"I love her, Annabelle. I love her so much" Angelina confessed when we got to my house. Delia was already sleeping and the old woman had sobered up.

"I know"

"I don't want to love her anymore. It hurts too much but I know I am in love with her. I'm going to give in and take her back. I just wanted someone who loved me too much to even think of someone else. We had one fight and she went to fuck a younger guy" Angelina finished grabbing the bucket I gave her when we arrived. She threw up then looked back at me.

"Angelina, you deserve someone faithful. Someone so crazy about you they will lose their brains if someone even flirted with them." I convinced.

"I found her, she just was not crazy enough" Angelina mumbled grabbing a bottle of water then chugged it down.

"A lot has happened recently. Maybe we should take a step back?" I suggested

"A step back? Dr Annabelle, I'm completely removing myself. I think, maybe it's time I relocate. My businesses need me" The billionaire looked really serious.

"Angelina, you are hurt and I am hurt. Our decisions right now are clouded. You can take a month or two away but don't run away."

"A few months away might help. If I stay here I will just forgive Vera if she apologize. That's just how much I love her. I will do anything to have my baby close to me" Angelina rubbed her eyes in exhaustion.

"Then leave this country for a few months. I will look after Vera for you. When you are ready, you come back. Who knows, maybe there is a girl out there waiting for your love and dominance."

"Maybe? Dr Annabelle girls want me" Angelina smiled cockily and I just rubbed my forehead.

"Probably your billions" I snorted when her smile dropped. Angelina glared at me.

"At least I have the billions. Dr Annabelle even buying skittles leaves a dent in your bank account" she laughed at my face.

"I mean you are right but apparently money can't buy brains. You are the living proof of that"
