2:17 am Ohio's time
(via text)
Chris: Hey are you up?
Tom: I was...
Tom: what's up?
Chris: nothing.
Tom: What do you mean nothing??
Tom: You just randomly text me at 2 in the morning for nothing?!
Chris: Yeah
Tom: Dude, I know you since we're 6.
Tom: What's wrong?
Chris: It's nothing you could or would do...
Tom: Well
Tom: Tell me, maybe I can.
Chris: I'm sorry to bother you
Chris: Just go back to sleep please, I'm sorry
Tom: Where are you?
Chris: In my apartment, why?
Chris: Why?
Chris: Tom Tom Tom
Chris: Did you fell asleep?
Chris: Ok...
A half an hour later
*Someone's knocking the door*
-Chris: What?...
*Opens the door*
-Tom: Hey...
-Chris: What are you doing here? It's almost 3 am in the morning.
-Tom: Can I at least come in?- he laughed- You just don't text me from nowhere in the middle of the night, what's wrong?
-Chris: Oh God... So you just came here because I texted you?
-Tom: Yes. So. What's wrong?
He seats on a chair while Chris seats in front of him.
-Chris: It's just that- he sighed- I haven't felt very well.
-Tom: You mean your anxiety?
-Chris: Yeah...
-Tom: I thought the medications were helping...?
-Chris: And they are, it's just...- he sighed again- I don't want to have a breakdown in the middle of the night and have to call you so you can pickup all my broken pieces, I know you're tired and I'm sorry you came all the way to he...- Tom interrupted.
-Tom: Hey. Look at me. I will never be bother to help you. I have been with you since they diagnosed your anxiety, I was with you in the good and bad moments. And I will always be by your side.
His voice was broken while talking and small tears where felling down by Chris cheek.
-Chris: Thanks, for everything seriously. It's just that I don't want to be any extra charge for my friends, especially you.
-Tom: I'm here for you man, whenever you need it.
-Chris: When I have my breakdowns, I don't call you, I prefer to suffer this alone and by myself, I prefer you just have to watch me struggle from several rooms away...- he laughed between tears- But just tonight, I... need you to stay.
-Tom: Always...
-Chris: When I'm on my worst,- he stuttered- I feel like someone is chasing me and all I do is run from the problem, but at some point there's no more path, I- I... can't hide or escape... and... It's overwhelming...-He broke into tears.
Tom stand up and give him a hug. And in that cold night with some thunders but no rain; with the light of the moon he said...
-Tom: It's ok, everything it's gonna be alright, I am gonna make sure of that. I'm here with you and I will never leave.
