The truth behind the lies

Chapter 22: Remember me

"I hate you! You ruin everything!" I threw popcorn at Ben.
"Hey, all I asked is why the dude is pretending to be Psychic, when it could land him in jail! His friend Gilbert Could be arrested too!"

I picked up the remote and paused it. "First of all, his name is Gus!" I said. "Second, you don't know anything about Shawn! Stop judging him!"

He just laughed at me. This Ben, the can't remember much Ben, isn't the Ben I fell in love with. Did I just tell myself I was in love with Ben? Was?
It's not his fault, but he's different. Maybe he's too different.

"Hello? Anyone there?" Ben waved his hand in front of my face. "What? Yeah sorry."
"Are you okay? Tell me if I'm wrong but, you seem a little off."

"I seem a little off? Me? Least I can remember everyone and everything and I'm not just some boring guy who does nothing but annoy people because he doesn't know what to do because he doesn't know anything!"

I was now standing, and regretting most things that had just come out of my mouth.

Ben just nodded his head. He grabbed his coat from the chair and slid his arms through it, and walked over to the door.

"No Ben wait- I didn't mean it!" I tried to apologize.

"No it's okay. I get it. I'm not the person I was before and you no longer like me. You know the old me better then I do anyways."

He shut the door behind him, and I fell back on the couch.

WHY IS LIFE SCREWING WITH ME SO MUCH RIGHT NOW?

I can't take much more of this.

PARKERS POV

This guy, I tell you. This guy!

"You can't cut me off, I'm not nearly as drunk as I'd like to be!" I tapped the counter for another shot.

"Sorry buddy, I legally can't serve you anymore." He leaned in close and whispered. "And plus I don't even think your ID is even legit."

Maybe I exaggerated a little by making the guy put 25.

"Whatever man." I stumbled off the stool, and barley caught my balance. I stormed out the bar door and went for the street.

As the lights turned green I stood out in the middle of the street.

I stood there, waiting. I heard horns blaring at me, but i didn't move.

"Move out of the way!" Some guy in a truck yelled.
"Just hit me already!" I heard sirens in the distance. I then held my arms out and started spinning around.

The wind felt great, much better than the pavement my head smacked off of when I fell over.
