"Just friends?" Roxie asked.

"Yes, just friends."

"I don't know. It's just, doesn't this kinda change a lot?"

"I swear to God, you always defend him." I rolled my eyes. "I can't believe you."

"I'm not defending him!" She said. "I'm just saying, this whole time you thought it went down different. You thought he played you. You thought he was completely aware of what he was doing. He wasn't."

"He still fucked her, regardless! I'll look like a fucking clown if I take him back."

"You're being irrational." She said.

"And you're completely taking his side. I cannot believe this." I shook my head.

"I'm not taking his side, I'm not saying he was right. But I can tell you first hand sex is just sex when it's with someone you just met that same night. Why are you glorifying the sex? It didn't mean anything, especially when you throw some drugs and alcohol in the mix. He didn't even realize what he did until the next morning, and when he did he was pissed at both himself, and that dickhead Shottie."

I just sat there quietly.

"I'm just saying, it would be different if you found out he was having an affair with someone else. If he had feelings for someone else, then yeah that's different. That's completely different. But why are you giving this random groupie so much power? You have his heart and she has one night with him, is that one night worth your whole relationship?"

"So, what? Just go running back into his arms? I'd look look desperate. Do you know how stupid I'd look?"

"Why do you keep worrying about how you'll "look"? No one even knows why y'all broke up, it never publicly came out. They don't know your relationship." She said. "And Stupid? Trying to make it work after investing 6 months into something is not stupid. Listen, if I was you, yeah I'd be mad, Id be upset and I'd beat his ass just like you did. But I wouldn't end the whole relationship, and stop being with someone I'm in love with over someone so meaningless."

"So what happens when he drinks again and he somehow falls into another girls pussy, I'm supposed to just excuse it because he was drunk and high?"

"Of course not, and if he's the type of person that gets drinks and high and loses self control, then he shouldn't do it in public especially around hoes and groupies. I'm sure he learned that." She said. "But He's gonna make mistakes, so are you. It's apart of relationships." She said.

"I'm not saying every time he fucks up you should take him back if it's too consistent, but I think he deserves a second chance. Real relationships that last involve a lot of forgiveness. You have to accept the fact that he isn't perfect and may disappoint you sometimes. This is one of those times. You have to figure out if you're willing to go through the ups & downs with him." She added.

I sighed and got up. "I'm just..ima just go home now."

"So now you're mad at me again? This time you asked me for my advice and I gave it to you."

"I'm not mad..You didn't say anything wrong. I'm just conflicted. That's all." I grabbed my car keys. "I'll talk to you later."

                      Danny's Point Of View

I texted September like I said I would last night after she said we could be friends. We had a short conversation. We caught up a bit, but it was so awkward though. And I hated that cause besides us being together, we used to be best friends. Shit was never awkward between us, even when we first met. We always vibed. Maybe with time we'll become comfortable again. I hope so.
