Late Night Breakups

I jump up immediately hearing my front door swing open. "Who the fuck, oh shit Bentley!" I throw my pacifier on the other side of my bed and run to the living room quickly. "Fuck you're so stupid when you're half asleep Logan."

I freeze as I reach the living room, remembering the dinosuar onsie I had on. Before I could even think of an explanation, a sobbing Bentley collapsed into my arms.

"Woah woah what's going on man?" I pat the taller mans back as he cries into my shoulder. "Vericona...she she left man and.." The sobs had grown stronger and I had no idea what to do. I was never good in situations like these. Need advice? Give me a call no problem. Emotions? Crying? Watch how fast I'll run. I can't even handle my own emotions let alone other people's.

"What?! Why?! What happened, you gotta calm down and talk to me buddy what happened?" I rub circles onto my friends back, letting him cry it out. Bentley mumbles pieces of the story here and there but I can't seem to make anything out. My dinosaur onsie was beginning to get soaked from tears and I think a bit of snot. I scrunch up my nose at the thought of it. I could really use some help right now.

"Bent buddy I'll be right back okay? Let's just sit down and relax okay?" I gently sit him on the couch as he wipes his eyes nodding. "Thank God." I jog to my bedroom, grabbing my phone and typing away quickly.

"I know how late it is but please wake up I need help.."

I breathe a sigh of relief as my phone begins to buzz.

MoTulip864 is typing...

"What's wrong? Are you okay?!"

"My friend stumbled over crying his eyes out, I think his girlfriend left him, I'm not sure how to deal with it.."

"Hmm just keep calming him down, give him a glass of water and have him take deep breaths, you won't be able to do much until he's ready to talk bubba."

I shove my phone in the side pocket of my pjs and make my way to the kitchen. I quickly fill up a glass of cold water, my hand shaking as I walk over and hand it to the now silent but very red eyed guy. "What is this?"

My stomach drops as I see my toy car in his hands. "Oh that's uh my nephews, must've left it here, I'll get it out of your-" Bentley pulls the toy away as I go to grab it. "No! I ..can I play with it?" I narrow my eyes but nodd slowly, curious as to why he'd want to right now. "Alright you can play with it bud but you have to tell me what happened."

Bentley sighs, pushing the car around my coffee table. "Vericona left me Logan, completely moved out and left." I swallow back down the anger that was currently building up inside me, I hated that girl she was nothing but trouble. My best friend loved her though so the best I could do was support him. I knew being angry would not help in the least bit at the moment so I'll have to go back to it later. Fuck this is so hard I really wanted to go slash her tires.

"Did she say why? Did you guys get into a fight?" I gently place my hand on Bentleys shoulder, giving it a firm squeeze. "Um she said I was too immature, and that we were growing apart but that was it.. I can't handle this Logan! Why won't she even answer my calls!" My chest starts to ache, remembering those same words come out of my exes mouth.

--"Please don't go! I can change okay look I won't be regress anymore! I promise you we can fix this ...please? I did everything for you! I love you...don't you love me?" I grip the phone tight, hoping something in my pleading had changed her mind. "No Logan, not anymore, not when you're...like that.. its just so weird! You need threapy not a girlfriend!" The call ends making my whole body go numb. I pound my fists into the pillows on my bed, screaming as tears sting my cheeks. "Why am I  like this!" --

My throat feels tight, remembering how much pain I had felt that night, realizing how much pain Bentley was feeling right now. "Bentley, I completely understand how you feel right now, trust me. It's her loss and there is absolutely nothing wrong with you do you hear me? Just because one person can't handle you for you doesn't mean there isn't someone who can." The noise of wheels rolling on the coffee table stops and I look over, feeling terrible as the tears start to flow down his cheeks.

"It hurts Logan, it hurts so much.." I pull Bentley into me, hugging him as tight as I can. I remember how much I just needed to be held when my ex left and Bentley had been the one to do it. It makes me feel good to be able to do it back to him in return. "I know buddy, I know. Shh it's alright man I'm here."

The crying seemed to have slowed down a bit so I finally lifted Bentley up a little looking face to face. "I know it hurts now but it's kind of a good thing." A sniffle escapses Bentleys as he questions me. "What do you mean?" I sigh feeling my poetic side coming out. "Well when I was going through my break up it took me some time but I finally put it in a perspective. I was really sad about the loss but at the same time I was really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like, it made me feel alive, you know? It made me feel human. The only way I could feel that sad then was because I had felt something really good before that from tons of other happy things. It's like being able to feel this much pain means you'll be able to feel this much happiness too, so you have to take the bad with the good, I guess what I felt is like a beautiful sadness. I guess that sounds stupid now that I think it out loud." Bentleys eyes go wide, a smile tugging at his lips. "No that didn't sound stupid at all, that oddly made me feel better, I'm still hurt but I know I'm going to be okay."

I smile patting my friends back and standing up. "Good. It's late though and you need rest from all that crying. How about you go take my bed and I'll take the couch." Bentley shurgs his shoulders nodding. "Thank you for everything Logan, it just sucks being a like this sometimes, I can't help regressing.. not too many people can handle it. Goodnight man." Bentley heads to my room and I lay back on the couch.

"Wait! What did he just say?"
