SUICIDE MENTION!

"you finally got the hermit outside." mark joked. "once i get home i'm staying home." i grumbled. "no you're not." dan rolled his eyes. then my phone buzzed.

mum: hey honey, i just wanted to say,
mum: i love you honey. never forget me.

me: i love you too, mum. that was random, haha. love u too

"my mum is being weird." i smiled faintly. "her husband died, she's going to be like that for quite sometime, (name)." dan sighed. i know he missed my dad, too. he was like a father figure to him.

"yeah."

we pulled into the parking lot of the sushi house, phil opening the car door for me. "i could've gotten that." i smiled weakly. "but i wanted to." he giggled.

"awe!" mark squealed. "fuck off." i felt my face flush.

"let's go." dan rolled his eyes. he gave the lady the reservation information stuff and she seated us by a fish tank. i could spot a clownfish, 2 angel fish, 4 starfish, a flounder, 2 tetras and what seemed to be a harmless eel.

"finding nemo." i smiled, standing up to head to the sushi bar with phil. "i wonder, do the fish just watch as we eat their possible relatives?" phil rose an eyebrow. "ew!" i exclaimed. "ahaha!" phil laughed, doing his cute little tongue thing.

"that is so horrible." i shuddered. imagine being butchered in front of your cousins. ew.

me and phil made our plates, browsing the buffet given to us. after we picked up what we wanted, we made our way back to the table. phil places his hand over mine, rubbing his thumb in circles over my knuckles.

dan, mark and phil were discussing some weird gossip, while i sat, shoving the sushi into my mouth for comfort.

"(name), i didn't expect to see you here!" a familiar voice called from behind me. i turned around to see an ex of mine, jack.

"oh, hi." i mumbled, turning back to my food. he hugged me from behind which caused phil to wrap his arm around me. i shot him a "you okay?" look and he nodded slightly.

"hey dan, hey mark! oh and.." jack waited for phil to give him his name. "phil." he said. "ah, nice to meet you." jack shook his hand.

"mind if i join you?"

"yes-" i cut dan off with a smile to jack. "not at all."

that made it 10x more awkward. phil tried to make jack realized that i was taken, by kissing my cheeks and some cheesy flirt attempts.

then jack piped up. "is that your boyfriend, (name)?"

"uh, yeah." i nodded. his happy smile turned into a frown as he stood up. "haha, sorry, i forgot i had to go out with some friends later. bye dan, make, (name)!" he called, ignoring phil's name.

"dickwad." dan, mark and i grunted.

"he was hitting on you, despite he has a girlfriend. cheating bastard." dan shook his head in dissatisfaction. "feel bad for whoever is dating the guy." mark scrunched his nose up.

i sighed, tossing the sushi around. "at least he didn't continue when he learned that she is mine." phil hugged me. "awe!!" dan and mark squealed again. i blushed and smiled at him, giving him a peck.

"i'm going to use the restroom." i stood up, heading to the bathrooms. i walked inside the women's restroom where a group of females were applying makeup and talking. i walked past them before one of them got my attention.

"i-uh..." she whispered. "do you have a tampon or pad i could borrow?"

i smiled, nodding and pulling a pad out of my purse. she gave me a friendly hug and headed into a stall.

i went to do my business in another stall. i washed my hands and started chatting with the other girls. we talked for about 5 minutes, i got a couple phone numbers and we parted ways.

"how long does it take for you-"

dan slapped his hand over mark's trap, shooting him a look. "we had a rave." i joked. "no, i got a bunch of babes."

"wait is that how it works anymore?" dan scoffed. "i mean, women in public restrooms act as if they've known each other for a decade." i shrugged.

"i thought it was just a bunch of girls gossiping and arguing and fights." mark shoved some sushi into his mouth.

"yeah, no."

dan drove me home to grab my phone charger, so i could stay overnight. he managed to break the one i had over there so i had to use mine from home.

i opened the door, not believing what i saw.

"m-mom?" i croaked, falling to the floor.

and there she was.

hanging.
