Considering my band hated me and it was extremely awkward anywhere near vic, I assumed I was completely unwanted around here. I decided I would drive home and indulge myself in a large bag of Doritos.

***

After parking the car in the driveway I walked up to the house and opened my front door to find a small envelope lying on the ground at my feet. My curiosity forced me to forget the Doritos and pick up the letter. I glided my finger underneath the flap and pulled out a letter. It read:

Mr. Quinn,

I am sorry to inform you that you have failed to pay your rent for the last six months. Although I am greatly fond of you, I cannot give you any exceptions when it comes to money. I hate to tell you this but if you continue living here without paying anything for another week I will have no choice but to ask you to live elsewhere.

Thank you for your co operation
Simon L. Peters

Great, just fúcking great. I have absolutely no way of paying this considering I can't be anywhere near the band right now and I am doubtful they will keep me in the band.

What have I done to deserve this? Why me? I dropped the letter on the ground and shut to front door. I just stood on the doormat staring down the corridor. I lost my friends, possibly my band, anyway of earning any money, and now I'm on the edge of loosing my house.

After about half an hour of simply doing nothing, I decided I needed to sort my life out and I would start that by making things up with vic.

I pulled my phone out of my back pocket and unlocked it before dialling his number. It began to ring. It kept ringing and suddenly stopped leaving a quick silence in my ears before I could hear a vice.

Hi, you've reached victor fuentes. I'm afraid I'm not available at the moment, please leave your message after the tone.

I didn't want to leave a message, I wanted to speak to him directly so I hung up and trudged upstairs.

It was currently 12:27pm but I didn't feel like eating. I walked into my room and flopped onto my knees in front of my wardrobe. I grabbed my grey sweatpants and a plain black t-shirt and stood up to get changed. I slid my feet into my slippers and crashed down onto my bed positioning my body in a starfish shape, staring at the ceiling with a motionless expression across my face.

I acknowledged that I have always been a bit of a drama queen but before these last couple of weeks I've been able to keep myself together. My mind began to cloud over with the thoughts of suicide once again. Nobody wanted me around, not even myself at this point. So what was I living for? Who was I living for?

I was snapped out if my thoughts when my left butt cheek began to vibrate. I arched my back to pull my phone out of my pocket and stared at the screen. Vic's name had appeared. I hesitantly press the answer button.

"Hello?" The voice on the other end said.

"Hi." I simply grunted back.

"Umm, you called me?"

"Oh- um... Yeah I did."

"What did you want?"

I paused. I hadn't thought about what I was going to say, I just wanted to make things better.

"You still there?" He asked.

"Yes- yeah I am. Sorry."

"Why did you call me earlier?"

"Oh right. I just wanted to apologise for the way I acted earlier this morning. Things just aren't the best at the moment and I can be a bit snappy."

Vic didn't reply.

"Umm..." I tried to tempt him to answer me back.

"Yes. No. Umm. Right-"

He was being extremely blunt with me.

"So... We cool?" I asked in the hopes that would just forgive and forget.

"You know what? No. We're not cool. You led me on kellin! I thought you really liked me. I've been trying to be as nice to you as I can and you've just been a complete ass hole to me. I get that you might not want me the way I want you and that's ok, but there's no need to be a díck about it."

His response shocked me.

"I'm not the one that's been trying to flirt even though the other is clearly saying they don't like them like that. Now I'm trying to pick up the pieces and get us back to being friends again but your making it impossible by being so flirty and fùcking attractive."

Shit. Did I jut say that?

"You- what?" He asked quizzically

"N- nothing. I-I just... Stop toying with me!"

I quickly hung up. That did not go the way I wanted it to.
