Bro woke me up early this morning, or at least he tried. After his many many failed attempts I chucked an empty apple juice bottle at him an told him "I was up". That of course meaning hiding underneath the blankets and messaging EB if he was up.

After letting my eyes adjust to the brightness coming from my phone, I checked the time.

4:15 am

That meant it's 2:15 for him... On pesterChum it says he's online, but he probably forgot to log out again. I decide to say screw it and message him anyway.

[TG]: yo
[TG]: are you actually online dude?
[TG]: or nah?
[TG]: it would be fan fucking tastic of you were
[TG]: so you should talk to me
[EB]: what do you want?
[EB]: it's 2:16 in the morning
[EB]: the notifications woke me up
[EB]: this better be worth it man
[TG]: i'm bored as fuck
[EB]: ...
[TG]: don't you ... me
[EB]: yeah i'm going back to sleep
[TG]: wait I have a question
[EB]: what now?
[TG]: why don't you want to video chat anymore?
[TG]: they were so fun and you know it
[EB]: i just don't okay
[EB]: i'm going to bed now

[TG]: wait
[TG]: god damnit

   Well that could've gone a lot better.   Then again what did I really expect.  All my things are currently in boxes seeing as Bro made the decision to take this job offer in Washington.  I don't know what job it is, but I also don't think I want to even know.

      I was laying in my bed, staring up in the ceiling.   Most nights the universe deciding to hate me and graciously allow me to not be able to go to sleep.  It was roughly 2 in the morning so I decided to contemplate my life in its entirety. 

   Although I was interrupted by a couple of notification sounds from my computer.  I turned my head to face the glowing screen and it turned out they were from pesterChum, more specifically TG.  We've shared some video calls but I ended them before we actually exchanged named for once.  Begrudgingly I got up and answered him to make him shut up.

   Well... That escalated quickly.  Of course I lied about being woken up, he doesn't need to worry about me. I wonder why out of all times he brought up the video chats.  Now I feel even shittier off that was even possible.

   I wish we could keep the video calls up, but then he would find out the truth and would most definitely hate me and never talk to me again.  Not exactly how I'd like our friendship to end. 

   I slowly arose from my seat and shuffled back to my warm bed.  Continuing my existential crisis in the dark.
