Bee-

The alarm clock had been turned off as a man walked out of bed looking like a mess. With cold dead eyes and so many bags under them, you could easily have confused him for a zombie.

He stretches, grumbling to himself, and rubs his eyes as he prepares to get some food/drink, take a shower, check the news, then hop right back into bed. Though before he could, he heard his phone vibrating and checks it to see a text from his good friend Tamura.

Tamura

Hey dude how are you feeling?

Lagos

Like I want to go back to bed and never wake up.

Tamura

Dude it's already been a month since then, It hurts me too, she was my mentor and heck she was even like a big sister, but you have to move on eventually.

Lagos

.......

Well you're one to talk, you still have a special someone supporting you, comforting you, making you feel like the luckiest guy in the world.

While I'm here without that someone, our last moments together forever etched into my mind, the thoughts of maybe I could have done something or do something different still lingering.

She was like my light, my everything, we didn't have anyone else but that was okay because I was with her. She was perfect, the best girlfriend I could've ever asked for, and death just takes her away without warning or reason! Just why man, WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE HER!!!?!!??

Tamura

Lagos
........

Look I'm sorry for the outburst but man I'm just so f***ing done, this plus job being a bi**h, I'm just gonna go back to bed.

Tamura

Wait, wait wait I'm sorry too, and I want to make it up to you, which I was originally going to say before all this. Would you like to hangout, me and Hino are worried about you and we want to do everything we can to make you feel better if that's ok with you?

Lagos
............

You know what f**k it why not. Where to?

Tamura

Great! How about we start at the chicken restaurant at the shopping district?

Lagos

Sure I'll be there in a half an hour

Tamura

Okay! Oh and Lando?

Lagos

Yeah?

Tamura

Take care of yourself, please.
