1. End is a begining too.

'I always thought every mistake I made, can be fixed ... But in reality that's a bull$hit .'

Knock! Knock!

Tango sighed annoyingly, after a moment of hesitation he stood up and went to see how decided to bother him this time.

---

"Etho? I thought  you - ...I thought Scar and Bdubs were staying with you this weekend."

"Hello to you too."Etho walked in, he held a bag but Tango didn't see what was inside it.
"They were supposed to stay but I talked with Cleo and she took them instead."

Tango nodded.

---

Tango went to the living room. Etho placed his bag on the kitchen counter. He pulled out a box of ice cream for it , then he took two bowls and spoons from one of the cupboards and put some ice cream on,for himself and Tango.

Etho came to Tango and handed him the bowl.

Tango looked at him, he could see the pity in Etho's eyes. He hated it.
"You didn't have to buy me ice cream. You didn't have to come either." He said the other part was slightly quieter but Etho heard it anyway.

"You expected me to let you turn yourself into a depressed mess." Etho said sarcastically as  he took a place next to him.

"Yes." Tango mumbled as he took a spoon of ice cream.

They sat in complete silence for a bit.
Until Etho started talking again.
"Skizz, Impulse and Zed are coming too.  They're worried about you."

" I'm... I would be really surprised if they didn't come." Tango said slightly annoyed. He felt awful, his friends had to cancel their plans just because he got fired, which was the right thing to do... After what happened...

Soon another knocking came, this time Etho went to answer. Tango didn't have the willingness or energy to move from his cosy spot on his sofa.

--

"Top!"
"Tangy!"
"Hey Tango!"

The three of his friends yelled as they saw him. Tango only glanced at them and hid himself under a blanket.
He heard steps coming towards him.

"Tango stop hiding and welcome your best friends."Skizz took the blanket away. In a few seconds Zed was standing right next to him.
Tango placed the empty bowl on his coffee table and stood up, just to be hugged by them.

He felt his eyes watering, he didn't know why he started crying.. but he did. Tango felt awful... his friends, coworkers and his ... town , everyone hated him... Tango looked at the four people who were looking at him with kindness and hope in their eyes.
Maybe everyone except his crazy friends, they never judged him.. not like society did.

"I'm sorry..."he said weakly.
Skizz holds him tightly.
"It's alright buddy, we're here with you."
Skizz sat him back on the sofa.

"You shouldn't have come... I ruined  your afternoon.." A fresh tears fall from Tango's eyes.

"Don't say that! You're not a burden to us Tango! You are our friend."Zed jumped on the place next to him and hugged Tango.

"We're a family and family needs to help each other with their problems."
Etho rubbed his hair, he acted like a father.. maybe because he was a father.

Tango smiled weakly, it's been a while since he smiled.
"I'm glad I have you guys..."

"No, Tango we are happy to have you."

"Guys I'm back... Oh.. I think I missed something." Impuls stood in the door, it was his time to hold a mysterious bag full of mysterious things.

They just laughed, even Tango .
Impuls didn't ask he was glad that Tango smiled again.
