     I race to the guest bedroom.
"Eliza!" I shout.
She opens the door, her face red.
"Your gay?!?! John, how could you? I trusted you, and your a freaking gay?"
"Eliza..." I begin.
"No! Don't even talk to me! I hate you!" and with that, she threw the picture of Alex with a heart circling his face at the wall, shattering the frame, and stormed out.
"I can't help it! It's not my fault! Please!" I shout at her as she trudges through the snow. Tears stream down my face as I grab my phone and call my pansexual friend, Lafayette.
"Hello? Oh my god John, what's wrong? Are you ok?" he says in reaction to my sobs. I stutter a "no" before he hangs up. A few minutes later he barges through the door, ignoring the snow and comes over to me. He sits me down on the couch, a worried expression on his face. He looks over at the shattered glass in my bedroom, and mutters something about cleaning it later.
"Eliza...found...out......gay........picture.......Alex" I manage to force between sobs. Laf pulls out his phone and quickly texts:

"John, Herc is going to come over, and we're going to have a chill out day. Sound ok?" He asks, using a light and pitiful voice.
"Ok. Can you get my inhaler? It's in the bathroom" I respond, finally calm. He runs to the bathroom, coming back with my red inhaler.
"Asthmas a jerk." I say, giggling after taking 2 puffs. It leaves a sour taste on my tongue. I get up and grab a water bottle from the shelf in my kitchen.
"Want one?" I offer to Laf.
"Sure. Thanks" he says, catching the bottle I tossed. We wait in a comfortable silence for while, and eventually a knock comes on the door and when Herc enters, I almost faint. Not because he had a trash bag full of movies. Not because he had 3 gallons of ice cream. Not because he had the most worried look I had ever seen. But because Alex was trailing behind him.
