As soon as i saw the familiar car pull up i walked out of my house ignoring my mother still trying to get me to answer her as to where i was going. I had done every fucking thing she wanted me to since she found out about my problems except maybe not eating all the food she wanted me to, then the one time i open my mouth and tell her how offended i feel she goes and defends mikey instead. It's total bull shit

i opened the car door and climbed inside, i looked back at the house and saw mikey standing on the front porch trying to see who was in the car. My mom was no where to be seen now she must've given up and gone back inside when i refused to answer.

one thing i saw though was all the color drain from mikey's face when he saw who was driving the car.

"so babe long time no see, did ya miss me?"

"dont flatter yourself. you're just the only person i could think of that would be willing to drive me away from my house, and that had a car to do so in the first place." i said adjusting my duffle bag between my legs on the floor.

"oh come on i'm sure there was someone, anyone, else who could've given you a lift, so just tell me why you asked me"

"Bert seriously you're just the first person i thought of okay? there is no other reason except that so can you please just drop it?" i asked becoming irritated

bert rolled his eyes muttering a 'yea, yea whatever' before letting the car fall into silence for a little while.

after about ten minutes while we were sitting at a red light bert spoke up again. "i've just been driving towards my apartment out of habit and i like just realized i have no idea where you want to go..so like where do you want me to take you?"

i hadn't even noticed where we had been driving because my mind had been clouded the whole time with multiple thoughts like is mikey going to tell mom that what i said about him was actually true, was he going to tell her who had picked me up, was i ever going to get a chance to talk to frank?

"uh no your apartments fine." i said and he just nodded.

"you look really hot right now y'know" bert said glancing at me when he stopped at a stop sign.

"i feel like shit and I'm really not in the mood to be flirting okay bert. plus I'm taken and i really love him and i miss him so you could please not?"

"you're dating someone?" i nodded

"who?'' he asked and i debated wether i should give him a name or not.

"uh his names frank but thats all you're getting out of me. Im going to try and call him now actually so if you could try to be quiet." i said as i pulled out my phone which i hadn't seen all month.

it rang five times before someone picked up. "hello?" the voice asked, the voice that definitely wasn't franks. it took me a moment to process the voice before i asked "Ray?"

"this is ray...whos this?"

"listen is frank there? just tell him it's gee." i said hurriedly

"gee? what type of name is that is it-"

"ray please get frank" i interrupted.

"oh about that I'm sorry but frank hasn't left his room in like three weeks except to eat and shit and I'm just playing on his phone while babysitting his ass. he's not going to talk to you no matter how important."

"oh...okay thanks i guess..but could you still tell him i called maybe?" i asked

"yea sure thing see ya." ray said

"see ya." i answered before hanging up and letting the thoughts sink in.

Frank was upset and i couldn't help but feel it was my fault from not contacting him, but he even stopped coming over, so if he really wanted to see me he could've done so simply by just coming over to hang out with mikey.

but maybe...maybe thats why he won't leave his room, because he's avoiding me.

"bert we're taking a detour head to the liquor store first instead of the apartment, i need to get shit faced"

he just nodded "sounds good to me."
