It was getting pretty dark outside. Since the confrontation, Brett showed no signs of wanting to get back to Eddy.

"Come on, bro, don't isolate yourself like that..." Eddy muttered to himself. He checked the clock on the office wall.

9:58 PM.

Worth noting is, Eddy didn't move from the office at all. He just sat there, hand on Brett's empty spot, feeling its warmth drain into the atmosphere, other hand scrolling through Instagram until it was sore.

It was getting really late, so he decided to call his friend. Just... to be on the same page.

Try once, try twice.

Try thrice, no answer.

Try text him.

Eddy:

Bro, it's late.

U ok?
10:01 PM

Brett:

10:06 PM

Eddy:

10:07 PM

His answer was delayed. For a good period of time.

Eddy's finger was hovering over the keyboard, unsure if to ask Brett why he's not responding.

Brett:

Nah

All good

Stop worrying

Please
10:16 PM

Eddy:

Bro you didn't answer my calls either you SURE you good?

10:16 PM

Again. No response. Eddy gave up. Didn't wanna press on.

....Truth is, he didn't want Brett crying into a pillow, eyes red, just because of a video they'd made.

Then, again, he might've had a pretty good reason. And Eddy didn't want to dwell on the subject for long. He was scared that was the case.
