Too Good To Be True

Chapter Ten

I must be the worst friend if he really is thinking to end his life. How was I so blind and stupid. Things just happened so quickly and now I have to figure out a way to convince him to not to pull the trigger. I picked up my phone and called him as fast as I could. He didn't answered it. I started freaking out and pacing in my room. I had to leave him a voice mail hoping he didn't do anything stupid. "Matt don't do it man. Your like a brother to me. Please, I can't and won't go through this again especially since I have the chance to help you."

I don't know what to do. It's not like I can run to his house anymore and hug him or make him feel better. The question is how come he never told me about this. I mean he knows that I have the ability to fight anyone who would even think to hurt him. Ten minutes passed and Matt called me back. I answered it with a relief. I started rambling about how much I cared about him. "I'm your best friend in fact I'm like a brother to you. You should know you're family to me. I'm here and always will be here for you. Matt I love you bro so don't you fucking ever ever scare me like that."

"I'm sorry I didn't want to hurt you. It's just my dad saved my life. All this time being bullied and thinking my dad cared more about his job and you leaving me just made it worse." He was still crying trying to tell me how he truly felt these past couple months. As well as these passed couple days that I've been gone. Even when I was there I didn't realize this about him though.

I really must be the worst brother and best friend to him. Which I explained how sorry I was for not realizing this was happening to him. "Matt I'm sorry. I should of noticed." I said with concern voice and I felt so much disappointment towards myself.

"No don't apologize. Thank you for everything Caleb." He said and then told me how tired he was so he hanged up to go rest in his room.
