I told Frank

That I would hang out with friends.

I said goodbye,

And that I love him.

I was meeting

Pete and Patrick

(the unstoppable pair!!!!!!)

Patrick asked

If I wanted to meet at that bar again

like

every

fucking

time

but I

I said we should go out to eat

for once.

I hoped

and wished

and prayed to God

that he would agree,

and he did.

That made me ecstatic.

No more

painful

cringe worthy 

memories.

I was really looking forward to this.

--

"I'm really worried about Frank," I told them,

"he's not like himself anymore."

"What happened?" Pat asked,

and Pete just indulged

in a  roll.

But he was still

attentively

listening.

I looked down.

I knew what was wrong.

they wouldn't get it, but...

I think he was gone.

"He's basically living in our bedroom. He never comes out, and he barely ever talks to me.

I... honestly don't know what to do. I don't know what's wrong."

Pete put down his roll,

"Well, whatever happened, give himself time to heal alone, since talking to him isn't working."

"I agree with Pete." Pat replied, and smiled, "I think he's gonna be okay. When he feels better, you could ask what happened."

I smiled,

"thanks guys."

coincidentally,

a waitress came with our food after that.


And I continued to think about

what Pete had said

even until nighttime arrived.
