Someone To You

Chapter 3

Lenny loved Carl.

Lenny knew Carl loved him back.

But sometimes it didn't feel that way.

Sometimes (most of the time) it felt like Lenny was burdening him.

Sometimes it felt like Lenny was burdening everyone.

He knew that people loved Carl more then they loved him. I mean how could you not he was Carl! The urban Lenny!

He was better at flirting and he was better with girls. I mean he had "a same time next year fling" with this beautiful woman when they went to business conventions while Lenny was stuck eating dinner with one of her friends.

He was so much smarter then Lenny. Lenny wasn't brain smart or street smart but he was something he just didn't know what. But Lenny knew he could ever complete with Carl's IQ of 214.

I mean Lenny's mom liked Carl better. She had stated on multiple occasions how much she wished Carl was her son.

He was the one with better job.

He was better at bowling.

He was better at poker.

He was the one who got interviewed for that stupid documentary thing when they were kids

He was the one who everyone respected and looked at.

and well Lenny was just Lenny.

Lenny who always managed to get himself hurt.

Lenny who lived alone and in shame.

Lenny who had been in and out of relationships because he talked about Carl to much.

Lenny who felt insecure.

But once again Carl was the better person...

The better person who followed Lenny after he had stormed out of Moe's.

The better person who watched concerned as Lenny paced in the decrepit parking lot.

The better person who held Lenny as he had his mental breakdown.

The better person who rubbed his back and reassured him.

The better person who told him that he was amazing and loved.

Carl was always the better person.

Carl was always there when Lenny needed him.

Carl cared about Lenny despite Lenny's many flaws

and that's why Lenny loved Carl.
