"Melody?" Anthony asked.

"Hm?"

"Did anyone tell you, how beautiful you are?"

I was instantaneously taken aback by his words, no one ever really seems to think that.

"You think so?"

"Why do you sound so stunned?"

"I just always end up getting hurt, I guess."

We arrived at the small coffee shop I always used to hang out at, ordering some food, making sure to get some for "Flea" and sat down with Anthony.

We basically sat there in silence for half an hour, just eating. Hillel was Anthony's best friend and now he's gone, I didn't want to bother him.

Right afterwards we began the walk back to Anthony's where I decided to leave him alone, it was silence basically the whole hour we spent together, I handed him my number if he needed someone to talk to and left back to my house.

"Michael?" I called as I stumbled through the door.

"He's in his room, wallowing." Karen replied from the living room.

I walked straight up our creaking staircase and without knocking walked right into his room. We don't talk much, hardly ever, minus that one night I spent with the band, which ended up the worst night of his life.

"Michael?" I called rubbing his back through the blanket he was lying on his stomach under.

"What?" He replied coldly.

"I brought you food."

Instantly sitting up and drying his puffy red eyes, he grabbed the bag from my hand and you could see that glitter of excitement rush though his eyes for .5 seconds.

I frowned, "Do you want to talk about it?"

"He was my best friend Melody, what more is there to talk about? I had him one second and the other he's gone. I'll never get him back again."

"It's a part of life, a lot of people are going to come and go, sometimes in the worst ways possible, knowing Hillel, just from meeting him a few times, I could tell he wouldn't want you to just sit on your ass and wallow over him, he'd want you to party for him, right?"

He paused and looked up at me with dry eyes, "Right."

"Listen, I'll buy some alcohol and we can go to the beach after hours, Anthony can come too."

"Really?" Flea asked.

"Of course, i'm sorry i'm such a distant bitch all the time, I promise things will get better."
