>Jack<

"Jack, stop!" he called out to me making me stop in my tracks.

I turned around to see him outside the apartment and without thinking, I go back towards him.

We stare at each other before he goes back into the apartment. I followed him.

Once inside, I look around the apartment. Everything was different. There was bottles around the table, furniture pushed around, even boxes stacked up. The apartment seemed like a complete mess.

"What happened here?" I asked as I followed him into the kitchen.

He shook his head and mumbled something sounding like, "You don't want to know..."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

He shook his head then turned around to face me. "Why are you back here Jack?"

I was taken back by his question that everything in my mind went blank. "I-I don't really know Mark."

He sighed then said loudly, "You left for two years Jack and now you decide to come back here?!"

I sighed. "I didn't come here to get yelled at Mark."

"Then why are you here Jack?" he asked more strictly.

I played with my fingers and looked down at my shoes. "I missed you Mark..."

I suddenly felt his hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him and we looked at each other in the eye for a while before he pulled away. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to yell, it's just been tough without you Jack."

"How?" I asked quietly.

He looked away and fixed his glasses. "You don't want to know. It's just been hard."

"Look Mark," I said as I turned him to look at me, "I didn't come here to start a fight. I just want to see if we can be friends again."

"Just friends?" he asked reluctantly.

I looked away. "I'm not really sure Mark. I'm still questioning this decision but all we can do is see."

He nodded. "I understand. Well I won't force anything I guess."

I nodded back unable to say anything. He ran his hand through his red hair. It caught my attention.

"Why did you keep it red?" I asked pointing as his hair.

He laughed slightly as he placed his hair up. "Reminded me of our high school years." Then he paused before saying, "And I hoped you would come back here and recognize it."

"That's why I kept the green too," I said honestly.

"Really?" he asked looking at me slightly.

I nodded. "Why did you stay in the apartment as well?"

"I had no where else to go, I barely had enough for a few things. I really wanted to move," he said looking down.

"You did?" I asked a bit hurt.

He sighed as he walked into the living room. He sat down on the same couch that we bought. He gestured for me to sit down next to him and I did.

"Look Jack," he began, "After a year of not hearing from you, I came to a conclusion you wouldn't come back. And to clarify that fact, I went to your mom and asked her what happened to you. She said you went to Ireland and I don't know...things just became worse."

"What things Mark?" I asked him concerned.

He shook his head. "Let's just say I'm not the same as I used to be..."

I stared at him. Nothing about him seemed different expect for the noticeable unhealthy weight lose. Then my eyes scanned around to the bottles on the floor. "How do you enough money for the drinks?"

"I still have my old job. It's just enough for some things that I do."

"What about about food Mark?" I asked getting a little upset.

He shrugged. "I don't really care about what happens to me anymore."

I got up from the couch and yelled, "So you just let yourself fall into depression?"

He got up and yelled, "Well what did you want me to do?! Be fucking happy you left?!"

My body was getting boiled up with anger. My nerves were ready to explode and there was no one to calm me.

"You didn't even fucking stop me Mark! I left because I needed to! Now you're even worse than before."

He pursed his lips and he breathed deeply. "Jack...please leave."

I gripped my sweater tightly and steadily said, "Don't make me regret coming back Mark."

He sighed. "I'll try not to."

Again I watched as he walked to the bedroom. I sighed. This was not a good start to rekindling our friendship.
