All I want is for you to be happy

Scott's Birthday

I woke up and I stretched myself trying to feel every inch of my body, to figure out what was hurting and what wasn’t. I soon sadly discovered that everything was hurting but I could handle it, but my legs… those thirty minutes running… got me beaten, as I felt the pain all over them I had the necessity of being in shape, so I took the decision to change my life style.

 I turned the light on and I screamed…

Mitch: What the hell? What are you doing there? Stalk much Scott! (He was sitting on a chair next to my bed with his arms crossed over his chest. His face was telling me that he was worried about something).

Scott: You have been crying on your sleep for the last two hours. You were screaming my name so I got scared. I’ve been calming you down since 6:30. Every fifteen minutes or so… what the hell happened last night?

Mitch: Have I really? Why didn’t you wake me up? (I said blushing, more preoccupied about what else I screamed other than his name)

Scott: Because every time I said your name and touched your forehead you calmed down. So I figured that there was no need to bother you.

Mitch: Aw! That's sweet! Thank you! (I said apologetically)

Scott: No problem, now, can ya tell me what happened last night?

I told Scott the whole story with Chris, without leaving anything out. The more I told him, the angrier he got. His eyes normally peaceful lakes, where burning with anger. Both of his hands had turned into fists on the first five minutes of the story. Even before the worst part. I guess he knew perfectly where it was heading. When I was done, he stood up, sat on my bed and hugged me.

Scott: If something like this ever happens again, heaven forbids, you call me! And I’ll be there as soon as possible to kick whoever little son of a bitch’s ass. Take a shower and let’s go to the police!

Mitch: Wait! What? Why?

Scott: Are you going to let this be? He tried to abuse you! He's going to pay for it! (He said with his teeth clenched)   

Mitch: No, he is not, because nothing happened, any charges will be withdrawn owing to lack of evidence whereas he might have a four different angle video with me punching him.

Scott: I can’t believe that you are so relaxed… From now on, Sir, you aren’t allowed to go out with any dude whatsoever unless they pass a prior exam, with which I would make sure that you won’t have any problem never again. (He said this with his left hand on his waist and his right hand pointing at me with his index finger, or as I like to call it, the angry mother’s pose)

Mitch: Thank you daddy! (I said mockingly trying to relax the tension)

Scott: (He laughed) let’s go to Starbucks! I’m starving!

Mitch: You starving!! Kidding, right?!!

The day went by as any other day. We were and are always so busy that we don’t have time to realize that the days slip through our fingers. And finally after dinner, we sat down on the couch to watch whatever was funny. Fortunately Scott fell asleep really fast. He tried to stay awake but he couldn’t, I gave him a tough morning… I felt so bad for him; he is such a great friend.

It is my time to be a great friend. His birthday is next week, and I have been a month trying to organize the party of the year, not by myself, of course.

My really good friend, Nina helped me looking for the perfect venue. She knows how to organize a party; I could say that she is a party herself, always there, bringing the perfect sparkle. Then the amazing Jackie she is so well organized all the time, that this could not have been possible without her directions, she found an awesome catering, and had the brilliant idea of hiring some drivers so people can be taken home when they are completely wasted.
