Requiem [COMPLETED]

Can I Call Being Arrested a Rite of Passage on My CV?

11:22 p.m. October 13th

Stan: Sven. I feel like you should know Charlie and Leif broke up this evening. It was pretty bad. Just...FYI.

Sven: Where is he?

Stan: Which one?

Sven: The Fuck man

Stan: Ahhh. Charlie's w/ us at my place. He left the NDSU party after shit hit the fan and Matt Dave and I went w/ him so...yeah.

11:24 p.m.

Sven: Charlie I'm so so sorry that you got hurt. I just heard Leif was a total asshole. I'm so goddamned angry right now. I wish I could have protected you somehow. It's cool if you don't want to talk to me still, just know I'm here if you want. I always will be.

Chuck: damn sven. i feel like shit. and that means a lot, that...you never hold a grudge with me. you're always there thru thick n thin. i don't know that i deserve that, but i'm glad you're here.

Sven: Don't talk like that. You're awesome. Wonderful. Amazing. Stupendous. Your IQ is high, your fashion on point, and your personality would win contests nationwide.

Chuck: You cheeseball. Ugh I'm blushing ugly crying.

Sven: Impossible. You could never look ugly.

Chuck: Stop it!

Sven: I don't think you mean that?

Chuck:...no not really. it's actually kinda making me feel a little better.

Sven: That's my intention.

Chuck: ...well? proceed already!

Sven: Well, whatever nasty things Leif has said to you, or made you feel, they're not true. You are a good person, a handsome, kind, generous, funny and fun person. You're so likeable. You're popular because of how awesome you are; now that we're adults you have more confidence and allow yourself to shine.

Sven: You're able to find good things, likeable things in almost everyone. And somehow you even find the good in people like me. You befriended ME. And you have my total loyalty because your friendship is that valuable.

Chuck: whoa when did this become raise charlie by kicking sven?

Sven:...

Chuck: Sven!

Sven:...

Sven: I'm just saying you're amazing. ???

Chuck: sigh. Sven, (imagine me taking your face in my hands) you aren't my bff out of pity, i genuinely love you as you are. you have worth as a person. nobody's perfect, okay, and you're...

Chuck: actually legitimately really awesome to the people you care about. and I know we call you an asshole but i know you're not really like that, it's just that you don't get social skills stuff. you're not REALLY an asshole. so don't drag on yourself.

Sven: When did this become a pep talk for me?

Chuck: i guess when i realized of course we're still best friends and i love you too much to let you think shitty things that aren't true of yourself.

Sven: Look I gotta go. I promise I will call you later.

Chuck: like usual run away when someone tries to be nice to you! i'll keep my ringer on. you better call, buster.

Sven: Pinky swear.

Charlie got woken up around 2:30 a.m. "Hello?"

"Hey, so... Charlie, do you happen to have 400 dollars in your bank account right now?"
