"Do you want to explain to me what happened the other night Alexander?" Dr. Murphy crossed his legs on the couch across from me. Today we were meeting at his house instead of the office because my parents thought it necessary that I see my therapist as soon as possible.

"I tried to choke my brother Jake." I shrugged. It wasn't the first time I lashed out on one of my siblings and it wouldn't be the last. Even Devin has been on the receiving end of one of my breakdowns, and he has the small scar above his left eyebrow to prove it.

"And what do you think compelled you to act so violently?"

"He called me suicidal..." I spat, lingering anger settled in my stomach. I watched Dr. Murphy nod, his eyebrows creasing as he set his pen down on his lap.

"If you don't mind me asking, why did that bother you so much Alexander?"

I glanced to the ceiling for a minute thinking deeply about the question, but all I could comprehend was my frustration. My mind was a mess. " I- I don't know... I'm better... I swear I'm better! I'm not.- I'm not..."

"You aren't suicidal?" I sighed heavily feeling the air escape my lungs quickly and in a choppy manner.

"I can't answer that honestly." I shook my head watching Dr. Murphy frown deeply. Maybe I wasn't making as much progress as I thought I was.

"I just snapped, I haven't been that angry in a while Foz." I was sitting in the middle of the floor in the hotel suite, legs crossed as I glanced over the pile of playing cards in front of me.

"Well, praise you for choking him, he probably deserved it." Foz sipped his tea handing me a cup before taking a seat across from me. I still didn't know why we were sitting on the floor when there was a perfectly large and comfortable couch two feet in front of us.

"Are we really drinking hot tea in the middle of summer?" I eyed my best friend watching him shrug and set the cup down next to him on the floor. It is only a matter of time before he forgets it is sitting there and accidently knocks it over.

He smiled laughing quietly." I haven't seen you in three months and you complain about my choice of beverage?" I shook my head, just happy to see my best friend again.

"I missed you Foz." I mumbled, shifting on the floor and trying to get comfortable. It was always hotel after hotel with Foz, I never understood how he could do it. Never having a place to truly call home. Then again it wasn't as if my home was actually a home. It was more like a prison.

"I missed you too Al. Trust me, traveling is boring without you." He gathered the cards shuffling them sloppily but effectively. I have known Foz for four years. We met in high school and started dating some time afterwards. We did almost everything together, but by the end of high school we both decided to pursue different things. I wanted to study music and Foz was taking up modeling offers in different countries. We never started dating again but he was still my best friend.

After all, he had witnessed me at my worst and stuck through it all. We had clung to each other for years and that was something that would never change. He is always there when I need him.

"I'm sure you weren't even thinking about me." I picked up the cards he passed to me peeking at the arrangement. "I mean photo shoots in Greece with other hot men? Please explain how you missed me?" He laughed pushing back his curly brown locks, green eyes lit with happiness. I could still remember waking up to those eyes and thinking that that shade of  green was all I ever wanted to see for the rest of my life. It turned out they only ever brought me comfort and helped fuel my deep fondness for the model.
