A Meeting (Drake)
<What to you want?> Nathan
<Meet me? Park downtown? 4:30 tomorrow.> Drake
<Can't. Work. How the hell did you find my Facebook page?> Nathan
<Really? You're friends with Clyde. It's not hard find the friends of someone.> Drake
<Uhg. Stalker much?> Nathan
<Maybe. But only for those I want to talk to.> Drake
<Shithead. Wednesday. 5pm. Southside Park.> Nathan
<Okay. ^_^> Drake
I smiled slightly. I missed Nathan a lot. He was funny, more down to earth than me, but he was still great to be around.
A knock on the door startled me so much I hit my knee on my desk. "Ow," I muttered.
"Drake?" Adam called hesitantly. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah!" I hobbled to my door and opened it. "You just startled me."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Adam apologized. "I was just worried. You seemed a bit out of it tonight."
"I'm fine, Adam. You don't have to worry about me." I ruffled his hair. "You should worry less."
"I can't help but worry though," he said.
"I know. If you really want to know, I'm trying to connect back with a friend. I'm just kinda worried he'll not want to."
"Oh, okay."
"Adam!" I heard Theo call from the living room.
"You should join us," Adam offered. "Owen popped some popcorn and we're watching movies."
"Ah. I'm okay here. Maybe tomorrow night?" I smiled apologetically.
"Okay. Know that we're all here for you, Drake," Adam told me.
"Okay." I closed my door as Adam walked away, then hopped onto my computer.
<Hey. You still up?> Drake
<What do you want now?> Nathan
<Meet me tonight? I need out of the house.> Drake

<Where?> Nathan

"Hey," I said nervously as I walked up to him.
Nathan looked at me with a dead expression. The end of a lit cigarette casting a dim orange glow on his face.
"Hi," he grunted.
I looked down nervously. "Remember this park?"
Nathan looked around. "Yeah," he said. "We came here when we were kids."
"Yeah," I sighed. "Ah, simple times."
"Simple times," he agreed. Nate spit out his cig and stomped it out. "So you wanted to talk?"
"I'm sorry I haven't talked to you."
"Really? I came all this way for an apology?"
