Just nothing

Sigh... It was just another boring night, sitting in my small bedroom with no lights switched on at all. The only thing that illuminated the room was the soft glow of my desk top sitting in front of me. The quiet hum of fan behind me made my headache worsen. I rubbed my temples and focused my eyes on the blank chat box in front of me. It has been about 3 days since Felix has Skyped me. Heh... figures. In Sweden, it was already early morning and he was already asleep. A cool breeze slipped through my boxers and tee as i gripped my sapphire can and tipped it back when my lips met the edge, the ice cold Rockstar flowing down my throat. I nearly choked when i heard the beeping of an incoming call-- it was Felix. I tipped backward in the swivel chair, purple drink splashing everywhere and down my front.

After scrambling to my feet i slipped on my mask and sat back down in the fixed chair. "Hi Pewds!" I said, trying to laugh off my skiddish accident. "Hey bro! Hows it goin?" His accent broke a bit as his image loaded onto the screen, this time he was wearing his glasses. "Just tryin to think of something to do." I slowly dragged my mouse to the picture of the camcorder and clicked. "What time is it there? Must be fucking late, Cry." I nodded and laughed my "famous" laugh, Pewds smiling. "Its about... 3:06AM here... and im guessing its daytime there?" All Felix did was shrug "Eh... i don't care." He shifted in his seat and looked off to the left and said something in Swedish in a whisper. "Is that Marzia?" My smile slowly faded as i blew up the screen so it was now the full size. "Oh, its nothing, Ry, really." Felix moved his eyes back to me and i blushed scarlet. "Oh... haha alright." I scratched the back of my neck and leaned back, another breeze flowing through his shirt and boxers once more. "I have to get goin Cry... Apparently Marzia's parents are taking us to lunch." I coughed and looked down from under my mask. "I... alright. Ill talk to you later, Felix." "Is something wrong? Your voice sounds like Conkers." I managed to chuckle and shake my head. "Its just nothin. Dont even worry about it bro!" My voice was shaky, but i gulped the lump in my throat and thought of how happy Felix must be with his girlfriend at the time. I put my fist up the camera just as he said goodbye and did the same. "Ugh! Idiot!" I threw off the white mask.

"Its just nothing... just absolute fucking nothing." I wasn't jealous of the Italian girl... was i? No i cant be, i guess I'm just losing my mind. I took one more sip of the energy drink and shut down the computer. "Have a good lunch, Pewds..." I said. I stood and flopped onto my bed, face first so my voice was muffled.

"Just nothing... Don't worry about it, Pewds..."
