My hearts become too cold to break .::ELY::.

You're the definition of a best friend.

For some reason I thought it would be a great idea to walk to work today, but I quickly realized that it was a horrible idea, as half way through my walk it started to rain; which is both good and bad situation a good thing since we're in a drought, a bad thing because now I'm soaking wet, and I'll probably get sick, another good thing nobody will be able to tell I'm bawling my eyes out as I walk down the street.

This must just be the price I pay for being so trusting. I've now learned not to trust anyone, it's the best way to keep your heart from getting broken. I see my office building come into view and slow my pace, despite my secret hatred for the rain, I'm just not ready to go inside yet. I watch my coworkers pull into the parking lot and sit in their cars for a few minutes, they too are probably dreading the work day. I sigh and walk through the doors getting some weird stares as I am the only one who is soaking wet.
"I think someone misses the Midwest," My friend and supervisor Zach Kornfeld says before pulling a towel from a drawer in his desk to give to me,"see I remembered"
When I started here at buzzfeed motion pictures I told all of my coworkers that I would need a bunch of towels when the drought finally ended because I would be playing in the rain the entire day.
"Zach you're the best you know that?" I ask drying my hair.
"I'm not but I try," he says," hey we're doing a try guys shoot today and I think it'll be pretty fun,"
"What are you guys trying today?" I ask taking his bait.
"We're going to try to make things ladylike found on Pinterest for us," he says," for one and another features you and it's a surprise"
"Zach, no offense but the last surprise you guys had for me involved honey, chicken feathers, and many long hot showers," I say.
"It's gonna be a nice surprise this time" he says and I roll my eyes.
"Fine I'll do it," I say
"You didn't have a choice actually," he says," let's go meet up with the guys"
Zach and I walk up the the second floor where the set we usually shoot in is and find the remaining three try guy, who look like they've had a rough night.
"So boys night sleepover didn't go very well?" I ask.
"Eugene doesn't know what sleep is," Ned says.
"I'll never stay the night at Eugene's again," Keith says.
"Zach and Eugene are fine what's up with you two?" I ask laughing despite the pain in my chest.
"We didn't drink nearly as much as these two," Eugene says,"you should be proud of me, I drank the least out of everyone"
"Because you were playing babysitter," Zach says
"Why didn't you drink as much,Zach?" Eugene asks.
"I was keeping someone company," Zach says looking at me, Zach spent all night trying to calm me down and cheer me up , after I found my fiancé in bed, my bed, with another women.
"Why couldn't you come over last night Beau?" Ned asks.
"I had some stuff to take care of," I say," but Katie sent me some videos and you guys looked like  you were having fun,"
"Well, let's get this shoot over with," Zach says being the first to walk in onto the set, then I follow Keith with Ned and Eugene trailing behind.
"Did you remember to bring Freakshow?" Eugene asks then looks around and sees that I didn't bring my German Shepard with me,"guess not, after this shoot we need to go get him, we have that pet adoption video today too, Beau"
Fuck.
"I didn't drive today," I say.
"We can go together," he smiles. Before sitting down behind the table next to Freddie.

Zach and I are manning the cameras until it's his turn to try the DIY craft Chantel picked for him, then Eugene takes his place, I walk behind the table to get an over head shot of what they're making, stone placemats.
"Guys this is hard I don't like it." Zach whines I try not to laugh so I don't mess up any of the sound bytes since I'm right next to a microphone. Zach finishes his project and holds it up a little more than half the pebbles fall off.
" I guess I wasn't finished" he says and Chantel laughs.
They all come together to do their final thoughts bit, and I move back in front of the table with Katie.
"Do we even need to do one of these? We were right from the beginning, Eugene was the best" Zach says.
"Ned was pretty good too though," Eugene says.
"I do this with my wife a lot," Ned says
"Mine and Zach's were definitely harder than both of yours though, ours didn't have real instructions," Keith says.

After the video I follow the guys downstairs to their desks.
"So ready to go get your lovable giant?" Eugene asks.
I shrug," sure,"
Eugene grabs his keys and leads the way to his car with Pesto and Emma trailing behind him. We get in and make our way back to the house I'm renting.
"Oh when did Richard get back Beau?" He asks pulling up in my drive way.
"Uh last night," I say," and he brought a friend,"
"Oh," he says. I get out and walk to my door. I can hear Freakshow barking  from the door, but I can also hear the sounds of some bitch moaning as well.
"Is that what I think it is?" Eugene asks stopping next to me.
I just nod and unlock the door walking inside I grab Freakshow's leash and get him from his crate. He's instantly by my side nuzzling his nose into my palm. He's the best dog anyone could ask for.
"Beau! What are you doing in my house?" Richard my ex fiancé asks.
"It's my house my name is the only one on the lease." I clarify," and does it matter to you? Take you're little bitch and get out of my house,"
He just stares at me and Eugene walks in.
"Beau, what's taking so long?" Eugene asks.
" what are you doing with Chink eyes?" Richard asks  and I watch Eugene tense up.
"Eugene and I are getting my dog, from my house, where you are no longer welcome so pack your bags and get out," I say clipping Freakshow to his leash and putting a hand on Eugene in an attempt to calm him. Richard rolls his eyes.
"So we haven't even split up and you're already fucking him? You had the best couldn't handle it could you?" Richard smirks.
"Actually, Richard you had the best, and you threw it away for a girl who doesn't give a shit about you," Eugene says," you can do no better than Beau, Beau is way out of your league, what she did for you could be considered a charity"
"Shut the fuck up Chinky," Richard says. I promise he was not this racist when we were together.
"What?" Eugene asks.
"You didn't hear me the first time Chinky?" Richard says, Richard is already no physical match for Eugene, who goes to the gym literally everyday, he really isn't ready for angry Eugene, who just might knock him out. Richard continues on with his racial slurs and Eugene just stands there for a minute like he has reverted back to his younger self, when he would just take this verbal abuse.
"Come one Eugene, you don't need to take this," I say grabbing his arm he brushes my hand off and gives me a slightly apologetic look before he swings on Richard, making contact with his nose, which instantly starts bleeding Freakshow is barking like crazy but doesn't leave my side, as we just watch the two  rolling around on the ground trying to get the upper hand, or in Eugene's case land another good punch in Richard's face. Once I start to see blood on my white area rug I unclip Freakshow
"Get him freak," I says and Freakshow charges at who ever was on top, Richard in this case, Richard scrambles up off of Eugene and Freakshow corners him growling.
"Call him off Beau," Richard demands and Freakshow nips at him but doesn't catch any skin, I help Eugene up and call Freakshow back to me, who trots his way over to my side and sits with his leash in his mouth ready to go.
"You have until I get off work tonight to have all of your shit out of my house," I say to Richard and walk outside with freak trailing beside me and Eugene on the other side.
" are you okay?" Eugene asks me though he has blood practically pouring out of his nose.
"Yeah I'm fine, what about you? You okay?" I ask grabbing some napkins from my car.
"Yeah I'm fine," he says,"let's get back to the office,"
