Save me from myself

      As I slowly drive back home. I can't stop thinking about Frank. I've decided to try to be his friend. I need him in my life, but he is never gonna like me the way I like him. His friend is the closest im ever gonna get to what I really want to be.
      I pull into my driveway and get out of the car. I then remember I had boxes I wanted to take over to the apartment I was moving into. I sighed and went inside. "Hey Suse." I said. "Hey,are you still going over to your apartment tonight?" "Yeah. Why?"I ask genuinely confused because what does she care. " Do you think I can come?" Suse asks looking at her hands. " Yeah sure." I say pretty surprised. "Okay I'll grab my shoes and some boxes." Suse says jumping up from the couch. "Alright." I say turning to go upstairs to my bedroom to get changed quick.
        By the time I bring the few boxes left Suse is already in my car. "You ready?" I say getting into the driver's seat. "Yepity doo da!" Suse says with a big smile. "Are you high?" I ask only half joking. "No!" Suse says offended. "You know I'm way too classy for that" Suse says flipping her hair. "Yeah okay,so..." Suse interrupts me by turning the Panic! CD back on, which of course reminds me of Frank.
        We pull into the parking lot of the apartment building. Suse basically jumps out of the car and grabs some boxes. I grab the rest. I put the number to open the door,and we start making our way up two flights of stairs. When we finally get to my apartment door I struggle to get the door unlocked. "Do you need help?" Startled I turn to see a woman about my age. "No I'm good." I say and try again. I fail. "on second thought help might be good. " I say with a laugh. I hand her the keys. She opens the door then holds it open. "You can come in." Suse says. I glare at her giving her a wtf kinda look. "Introduce yourself." Suse says to me under her breath. "Hi, I'm Gerard. I'm moving in." I said sticking my hand out. "Jamia." The woman said with a smile shaking my hand. "Welcome to the building, I live on third floor apartment C3. Everyone here is pretty friendly." Jamia says with a smile. "Except John on the sixth floor. Stay clear of him." Jamia adds quickly. "Thanks, I will make sure not to talk to John." I say with a laugh. We talk a little bit more. We discuss when trash Day is, where to bring the trash, the good and bad people in the building, good restaurants near by, and surprising no more about John until on the way out she adds with a smile before closing the door, "Seriously I would stay away from John." And with that it was just me and Suse.
