Michael put the car in reverse and backed out of the driveway.

"Ready?" he asked.

I guess I didn't reply.

"Gavin," he said, poking my ribs.

"Ahh! What Micoo?" I said, rubbing the spot he had poked.

"Something's wrong, and I can tell. So don't give me bullshit about how It's nothing." He said.

"I just... it's... I'm just at a really confusing point right now, okay? I don't know what to do."

Michael sighed and started driving to work.

"Gavin," he said as we pulled into the office parking lot. "I just want you to know, if you ever, ever need anything, just ask, okay?"

"Okay, Micoo."

I didn't mean to sound so sad.

I grabbed my stuff and walked into the office.

My desk was a mess (why?), so I tidied it up and plugged my phone into its charger.

I sighed and sat down.

"Hey, Gavin?" Geoff said, calling my attention.

I turned to him and he held out Ryan's, Geoff's, and my Cap Cards from the Let's Build yesterday, along with the audio on a thumb drive.

"I know I said I would edit the Let's Build, but I have to do some stuff for the GameFails channel. Would you mind?" he asked.

"Naw, not at all." I said as I grabbed the Cap Cards and thumb drive.

I put the video and audio on my computer and got to work.

I was working on the audio for one part where Geoff was being really quiet, so I made it louder.

I guess I hadn't heard at the time, but I now heard Michael whispering to Ray.

"Hey, Ray you know..." Michael whispered.

I thought it was nothing, but it continued to play as I was deleting it.

"...Gavin's been acting weird lately. I don't know what's up, but I feel like he's keeping something from me, ya know?"

"Yeah, I can see it." Ray said.

"And I think I know why," Michael began.

He paused.

"I think that... I think that he..."

And I could no longer hear them.

"Fuck." I accidentally said.

"What?" Ray said, as Jack turned around, shocked that I had dropped the 'F- bomb'.

"Nothing. I just... messed up editing. I put the wrong clip in the wrong place."

"Oh," Ray said, but turned away looking unsure.

'Damn.'
