Him (A "Larry" Short Story)

nine

-jay-

i guess it was no surprise when we received a call from bailey, who was in hysterics, that louis had tried to commit suicide once again, and this time succeeded. bailey said louis had left one note only, and it was addressed to bailey. at the funeral, everyone was upset and crying, except bailey. he had a smile smile on his face, despite the tears in his eyes. he was even smiling as he was giving his eulogy for his dad. when the after party for the funeral started, i approached bailey and asked him how he could be smiling in a time like this. his response was," nana jay, i can't be upset with him, for he was only trying to be happy."
