I went to ring her doorbell.
The next morning.
But her door was slightly open.
Looking through the crack.
I saw her.
With another guy.
He had his arms pinned.
On both sides of her.
Trapping her against the wall.
He was half naked.
She was half naked.
I was fully clothed.
His hands were in places.
His mouth was in places.
I could only wonder about.
I backed away.
Very far away.
I didn't want to see.
My chest cramping.
My face burning.
I just walked away.
There were always rumors.
That she was a whore.
But I never believed them.
A friend.
Shouldn't think of her.
As such.
The jealousy bubbled up.
Tearing apart my insides.
As I thought about it.
Although it was not my business.
Although it was not my place.
Although we were only friends.
I told myself.
To suck it up.
Because moping wouldn't help anything.
Thoughts surpressed.
Forcing my mind blank.
I trooped along.
I wandered for a while.
Until it was long enough.
And I went back.
