Confessions of the Broken

3.Ford Aspire

Nirvana blasts in the parking lot as I sit in the curb waiting on Evett, on Thursdays he had counseling. He needed it, his mom left four years ago and kind of fucked him up.. He walked out looked distraught.

"What's wrong man?" I knew what was coming next.

"Tell me Alec... How can a mother look her child in the eyes and tell them they choose their man over their child." Tears threatened to show them selves, as he shook. I wrapped my arms around him telling him I didn't know either.. He hiccuped tears pouring out of his eyes. "Evett. You gotta go to the track meet man.." I said patting him on the back as he broke away from the hug. Call it gay if you want I don't give a fuck, in gonna be there for him. He's my only friend.

"You're right. Alec?" He spoke quietly as we walked to his car

"Yeah man?" I said waiting for him to unlock the doors

"Could I come over tonight.. Kill shit, something." He sighed, a regular occurrence after his meetings with Holly.

"Don't we always?" I laughed opening the door and climbing in. He turned over the key starting the rusted out Ford aspire, It jotted into drive as we drove off, "Evett you need a new car man."

"With what money?!" He threw his hands in the air.

"Why'd you buy this piece of 90's shit anyways?" I question pulling my notebook out,flipping to the next blank page.

"Hey! The 90's we a beautiful time!"

"That's like saying 80's fashion was perfect." I laughed..

"Yeah what never man." He waved me off. I gladly did so burying my face in my note book. Writers block... Again. I sighed closing it. No matter what I tired is always be stuck.. I need an inspiration.

"Hey Alec, I heard about this party tomorrow wanna go?"

"You know we never get invited to things like that." I sighed laying my head on the window. The sky was grey and gloomy. I loved days like this, perfect for reading and writing.. But instead of being curled up in my bed with a laptop and a sketch book I'm stuck in this shitty little blue car in my way to a track meet for my best friend.

"Well we'll find a way." He smiled.

"I thought you were the realist in this relationship?"

"Hey I did too be happy you fat fuck!" He screamed punching me in the arm. We burst into fits of laughter. I'm so glad he doesn't let his meetings get to him too bad.

Arriving at the school. Watch Evett run and win I realized how much he's over come.. I honestly wish I was as strong as him..
